War at Sea at Battleground Games Plainville

Raven's Avatar
This Wednesday night a group of us will be playing War at Sea at the new Battleground Games & Hobbies store in Plainville (25 Taunton Street).

There should be half a dozen or more of us battling it out across the seven seas. This will be the first time a larger group of people will be playing War at Sea at the new location in Plainville. Additionally, it is the first time that most of us will be using any of the models from Condition Zebra.

We will be playing both 100pt and 200pt games with the festivities starting around 7 or 7:30pm. If you are in the area and either want to learn how to play or want to join in the fun then please come on by.

If you don’t have any War at Sea items (or don’t have “enough”) do not despair. I have enough stuff to share with everyone. I’ve purchased at least two cases of every set (only one case of CZ) and 4+ cases of some sets. That is over ten cases worth of stuff that I am happy to let others use while we game.

This should be a fun and hopefully regular occurrence in Plainville.

War at Sea: Set 5 Announced, Named, and Date of Release

Raven's Avatar
War at Sea’s Set V will be here before you know it. It was officially announced, named, and a release date provided. This new set, one I never thought we’d see, is named Fleet Commander. It is composed of 40 units, focusing on the engagements and nationalities of the Baltic. Boosters will set for $14.99 each, which is the same MSRP for boosters from the previous sets. According to Wizards of the Coast’s official release schedule this is due out on Friday, December 17, 2010. That is the Friday the week before Christmas.

There is no guarantee that the set will be released on that date because Wizards has been known to change the release schedule to better fit their needs. But, they’d need a compelling reason to do so now that retailers have been given that date.

We do not know what all of the units will be in this set. There has been supposition floating around as to what will and will not be in the set. Luckily we do know what will be appearing. Some of this was made public at Gencon and some was revealed in various postings on Richard Baker’s official blog.
