    The exact number, hmm?

    Lets see:

    Kickstarter special ships all of them 2 times = 8
    The 4 starter set ships, 2 times = 8
    All the others 20, plus 6 doubles = 26

    So all ships count together i own 42 of them atm.

    My old problem, when i start collecting something i do it extensive.
    But its not bad as i don't own more ships atm as i am years old!

    My problem exactly. Counting my Commodore and captain KS, I'll just say I hit the over 100 button.

    2 Ea KS Excl = 8
    2 Ea Starter = 8 -> 16
    2 Ea Wave 1A = 16 -> 32
    1 Ea Constitution and Victory on-order = 0 ->32/34
    1 Ea Wave 2 frigates, 1 Ea Wave 2 sloops, plus second Thorn = 7 -> 39/58

    Plus a few more pending... I'm not gonna vote until my "Finish Wave 2" orders, Constitution and Victory are safely logged into my spreadsheet and safely tucked in in Remote Storage.

    For one reason and another I ended up with a lot more wave 2 than originally intended. Counting the KS V+C it should be 52

    Thanks everyone for making me feel positively thrifty. With a Captain KS and no additional ships yet, I'm at a modest 16 ships. :D

    I went in at the Commodore level for the KS, and have been purchasing more Wave 1 and Wave 2 since then. The main reason, though, for the growing collection is that I am running games at cons, and am currently establishing a WoG/SoG community in central Illinois. A week or so ago, we had our inaugural game at our FLGS, and I plan on running at least two events there each month. Did I mention I also like minis?

    Update: Second copies of Hebe frigates and remaining two Swan ship-sloops on the way... still holding off on the First Rates, and I wish some jokers would cool it on pillaging 12-7 so I can get my order for the WGF Ser 2 reprints in. :(

    12-7 is the best. Bill was one of the few that shipped replacements for broken masts without asking you to return them. I think some buyers? took advantage of his good nature.

    Only 8 so far. Held off on wave 2 after the breakage problems came to light. I'll probably get some Hebes and sloops anyway but don't have any interest in anything bigger than a 74. I would like to see what wave 3 will be like and the direction Ares is going with its ships.

    I have 15 and am making a carry case to carry 20 and all the counters in separate containers.

    However, I cannot go overboard as I also have to look after my 1/100 Scale 2nd SS Panzer Korps, (1st, 2nd and 3rd SS PzGdr Divisions), and elements of the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army and 52 Guards Rifle Division, all at 1 stand/vehicle per company, (plus HQ's), for Panzer Korps Rules, my 1/16 scale tanks. I am a former tank troop sergeant after all!

    Plus 3 x 1/72 U-boats and the rest of my modern sub collection in 1/350.

    Yes, I know I have a problem! Hehehehe!

    I have 9 at the moment, 4 Starter, 4 Kickstarter Exclusives and Embusade. I also waited for Ares to fix the mast thing and now I have to recover from the dip into my purse due to me moving with the whole family.

    I intend to get some Hebes and sloops and one 1st rate from France and Britain.

    Just the 4 starter set beauties so far. Im literally gagging to get hold of Victory.
    I doubt i will own more than 20. Two fleets of 8 or 3 of 7 will be my limit i think.
    Then again... my collecting impulse may over rule that.

    Grats! So, does that means the reprinted Wave 2 ships have arrived at the warehouse? That would be cool.

    Ares was going to post information on Facebook by the end of the week for the Wave 2 reprints AND news on the Victory and Constitution pre-production samples. Nothing has shown up on FB yet?

    No, Jim, it means I'm rolling the dice and taking my chances, with my trusty tube of superglue standing by. I'll wait on the re-run for the second set...

    It might be worth noting that at the big Record Breaker event at Gen Con there were 53 1st rates on that long table. I didn't hear one report of a broken mast or masts, either in their boxes or while playing the game.

    So sar i have 8 ships.
    1 x 1st rate
    3 x 3rd rates
    4 x 5th rates
    i want to get a couple of sloops and a Hebe Frigate to use as a Leda class.

    Cheers

    Just in case I didn't mention this elsewhere, 4 out of 6 of my First Rates came in with Pre-Modeled Mast Damage--all three Oceans and SGN108B. Reported Saturday afternoon, Becki at Cool Stuff Inc. contacted me Sunday AM to tell me they'd get me a return shipping label and that while my request for replacement from 2nd Run would mean a wait before sending, they were happy to honor the request.

    So that moves four First Rates from the "own" column to the same "paid for and owed" as Victory and Constitution. Score is 46/58.

    I'm starting to go in the opposite direction and trimming down my WoG and SoG collections. As of late, I have been trading wargames on BGG as well.

    Worrying to hear...

    I hope you don't loose too many ships. Then one day, you could end up as Sweden, without any military, when it's time to play.

    What will you do when there's a solo scenario where you should use 30 ships?

    I will always maintain a sufficient fleet and wing. I have a lot of extras, especially with WoG. They sit on the shelf collecting dust.

    If someone writes a solo scenario with 30 ships for our current solo campaign, I imagine there would be an immediate mutiny.

    Hmmm... That solo scenario I was thinking of earlier, involving the commodore character... I might just have to rethink that one...

    Could do with a lot more 74's though to balance my fleets!

    These numbers reflect the double-sided cards. Not gonna name names, but SKU's are assigned.

    At this point, 101C, 102C, two 111 and three 112 SKU's give an Armada strength of 14.

    Thanks DB, the information is much appreciated. When I visit my daughter who works in Hoquiam, WA and if you're near that, I'll spring for some drinks

    Well FWIW I only purchased the starter set in January. and planned to purchase enough additional ships to have 3 Frigates (1 x 40, 2 x 32), 3 x 3rd Rates (74), and 1 x 1st or 2nd Rate (100-112) each for French and British (so that would have been 14 vessels total, maybe 16 with a sloop each added)... HOWEVER:

    I now have 21 vessels, with 5 more on order or in transit (incl. Vic & Con) and hopefully will have a set of the 4 KS ships soon (thanks Eric) which brings me to 30 to date - leaving me only 4 packs short of having 1 example of every model currently available! And I'm now contemplating getting my first duplicates as well! So much for plan 'A' above! Bloody OCD Megalomania kicking in...
