There's a new A&A minis game coming out in the first quarter of 2007. I've read where the Iowa class ships are 6" long.

I wonder what the rules will be like? General Quarters/North Cape? I'd be alright with that.

I have warned my wife on this one. I am a real sucker for good WWI/WWII ships. These things would really lend themselve more than anything else out there for adaption to miniature wargaming. I'm excited!

I hope the models are better than the AA Minis have been.
This is a chance for wizards to produce a nice set for WWII. Apparently they are also working on a Star Wars ship combat game too. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

I'm really curious to see what the models look like as well. I'm hoping that will all of the bitching that goes on on the AH A&AM forum about "historical units" that they step up and give us something really good.

SWM is fun and the pieces look cool as well. The AT-AT is sweet!! I have a couple of Snowspeeders coming in the mail - hopefully today will be the day for a nice Hoth battle with my sons.

Holy Cow, my son and I just finished collecting all the A&A stuff that is out now. I guess we better start a new budget for the navy...

There's supposed to be 1 or 2 more sets of A&A minis before it ends. The War at Sea game is scheduled to have 2 sets released in 2007.
