My first starter set and 2 x Condition Zebra boosters arrived today. Along with the 8 starter miniatures I got the following in my boosters.
Rares
- HMS Royal Oak - Giorgios Averof
Uncommon
- LaMotte-Picquet - Vainamoinen
Common
- D.520 - V-156F Vindicator - USS Allen M. Sumner - Proteus - Witte De With - Murasame
I think I got a nice little bit of variety in my boosters and just finished doing our first game with my father using just the models from the starter set along with a couple extra from the boosters. The game has us hooked already. I am going to look to add more singles to boost up the forces I think I will stick with Japanese for axis since they are all I have currently. Does anyone have any recommendations for specific ship types to pick up for a good variety to chose from when setting up games? I was thinking of trying to get atleast 1 Carrier, 1 Battleship, 2-3 Cruisers and Destroyers along with 1 of each plane type for starters just to allow some variation in the setups.
Fun! You've got a nice little start on your Allied fleet.
BB CL DD x 2 Fighter Bomber Sub
Along with the CL, 2 DDs, and bomber from the starter that's a decently balanced fleet. You almost have enough aircraft for a strike group! Too bad D. 520 does not have Escort.
