    Talking of starter sets. One of the stalls at Triples was selling off Starter sets for £40. Headby picked one up and i got one for Neil as he could not make the show. With them going like hot cakes we may have a few new players over here.

    They have it on line but marked up at £55. it may well be worth giving them an E-mail as they really wanted to be rid.

    one, but I may acquire another in the near future. it's so fun that having the extra stuff for cons and my own use is far from a bad idea.

    I have 1 starter set but more counters, just recently I pick up another box at a discount as some of the ship model masts were broken. I have kept the ships and a mate bought the counters and other cardboard bits of me. As the only two in the club we found that we needed extra ships and damage counters for when we have a group game.

    Managed to get a starter set for Sails from https://f-side-games.co.uk/ at £66! Bought a ship from them off ebay and got a discount code, used that, plus free P&P.
    No-one expects a ship full of dwarves.

    I only have one but as my favorite hobby shop Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove California has them on a really great price, I'm thinking about adding another one. Four ships for $56.00 is worth it all by itself.

    Well worth getting another at that price Robert. I got a second and found the extra damage chits and range sticks invaluable for the Actions where more than six or seven ships were involved.
    As you say you could not buy the four ships for that price in many places unless a sale was on.

    That's my thinking. I only own one starter set, but I'm thinking about getting another just so I can play a scenario with all eight ships from the set.

    I went the other way. I won a second set direct from Ares, but had four ships mats already. Didn’t think I’d ever need 12 ships fighting at once, and a friend was sitting lonely at home during the pandemic and I figured he needed a base set more than I needed a second one, so I gave it to him.

    Of course, if the additional ship mats are once again sold out, a second starter set is the way to go.

    But an entire Starter Set for just four Ship Mats that you need is a steep price...

    I am ever hopeful that a third printing of the shipmats will be forthcoming. I know I still require them simply because each of my ships has its own set of action chips added to its box.

    For how many years have they been unavailable?
