(Unnofficial) Next Deck

I agree, you wouldn't. The game doesn't need a card for every ship and plane, you just need cards to provide variety to play the game. If you want to create a card for every unit, go ahead, I don't need it and neither does anyone else to play the game. Unfortunately, what happens, some members of the development team feel the need to leave their mark on the game and develop units that become gamey, whether intentional or not. As long as that is avoided, and I have my concerns that it can based on past performance, I'm fine with it, but I don't need it. I can support units that provide game balanace between the two sides, but I object when we start introducing units like Midway, jets, USS Ward, etc. If you want reprints of existing units with the name of sister ships so you have a card for each, that is fine, but I wouldn't buy it.

I would suggest optional units/decks for those players so that they are not considered as a part of the basic game. 

Yeah but at this point there's very little to make if we're not making sisters, variants or fantasy

We need to cater for all the crowds. Balance in the force.

I have a great idea.
Since we have an incomplete ABC "what if" theatre at the moment, it would be nice to provide a somewhat balanced unit selection for the ABC forces. Just saying.

Or we can go for more "top 5" DD or Cruiser variant.

Fun list, but I think I hear the crickets chirping.

So this is a refinement of the "all WotC reprint" list based on suggestions. I especially liked dropping a Canadian DD for an ASW patrol bomber.

Still one slot remaining. Preferably for the Axis I am thinking.
