I will begin scanning the Flank Speed stat cards as soon as I have a complete set. Flank Speed releases on September 1st and I will hopefully have a complete set that day unless it takes more than 2 cases of boosters to complete the set. I have completed scanning the Base Set.

THEN see the new scans at Base Set Stat Card Gallery.

It is always difficult introducing a new game to one's gaming group. It is doubly so in these tough economic times. You are a perfect example of what I hope this scan project to achieve. It gives gamers a chance to try out the game and evaluate it before spending money on purchasing it. I believe War at Sea to be a great game and think that after some time trying it out with the card scans that most gamers will choose to purchase the game (a starter and some boosters). I consider the scans to be an unofficial demo version of the game and I am ecstatic that you are using it in this way. I promise to continue this project for each set of War at Sea as long as I'm able to do so. I will have scans for the rest of the Base Set. I got more done on February 15th than I had anticipated. Now I am beginning the planning for my wedding, which in conjunction with my new job takes up most of my time. I promise to complete the Base Set scans before Flank Speed hits the shelves. Happily I can announce that the Allies are completed and I only need to scan the Axis for the Base Set. Tell your gaming friends that War at Sea is worth the expense. I don't know how many of you are in the group but if you can pool your money you can each purchase a Starter Box on eBay (excluding the miniatures) for around $9 USD ea (it comes with the rules, the play mats, dice, tokens, and islands). If you're able to pool your funds you can buy a case or two of the Base Set and Task Force, which will be enough models to form a communal resource. This will enable everyone to share those models and then individuals can choose to buy more boosters on their own to grow their personal collections. My gaming group uses a similar but different approach. Three of us have very strong personal collections. Several others have a few boosters worth. We all share our models with everyone including several people who don't own any models. We have enough models to create 200pt lists for a dozen or so people. It is a wonderful way to play and it gets maximum usage from our models. Perhaps this would be another option for you. Don't forget to tell your gaming buddies that they can get the complete rules for FREE online.
