So, I'm psyched about getting the Kaga...that puts us just one step away from having all 6 of the Japanese carriers that attacked Pear Harbor. The inclusion of minor navies is also a bit interesting. I personally think it will be neat, although if the reaction over at the Forumini W@S forum is any indication, this move could tick off quite a few people.

There also seems to be some confusion on the set name; the guy who created the game and is in charge of the game's development, Rich Baker, has said in interviews that he wants the set named "V for Victory" and have the packaging show a large V, similar to the one used in the titles for the old Victory at Sea TV show. On the other hand, marketing materials in catalogs have identified this set as Fleet Command. I'm curious to see what the final resolution will be!

As a W@S plasticrack head, I'm surly looking foward to this. Esp. the Kaga. I would like to see a new Baltimore class as well. I have every piece they ever made, and will keep buying.

Yah, a Baltimore re-print is one of the rumored units that will be included this set, which would be great! The base set version is really hard to come by, not to mention a little too pricey for a lot of my builds.

Well, we are starting to get a little more info. WotC just posted the first of a series of "Opening Salvos" which highlight two of the new units in the game, one axis and one allied. This time around, they are the carriers Glorious and Kaga!

Opening Salve 4, the final one, is now up. The set is only weeks away now!

The full list is out!

Okay, I got my first case, and I did pretty well. I managed to get everything except for 4 rares, which is about as good as you can do from just one case of 12 boosters (there are 16 rares total in the set).

Anyone else out there get any yet?
