Based on the information given have I would guess the other mini for each side will be a sub. That way there will be units for all three phases of the game (air, surface, sub). Allies: Light cruiser Montpelier (Cleveland reprint) Destroyer Nizam (Javelin reprint) Aircraft: Avenger Sub: ??? Axis: Heavy cruiser Haguro (Myoko reprint) Destroyer  ?? Aircraft ?? Sub ?? _________________ The IJN Carrier Liberation Force - "Because We Care" Join the IJNCVLF. Service Guarantees Citizenship!

While I don't need the maps, dice etc. I would like the new mini's if they are only able to be gotten from the new starter, kinda like they did for SW Star Battles. _________________ Take a peek at my tradelist: http://aaminis.myfastforum.org/about8921.html Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:53 pm Captain Morevo   Nerdstradamus AHF Silver-Rated Trader Joined: 12 Mar 2008 Posts: 1612 Post subject: I don't think the minis will be fixed, however I do think this means there will be a very limited selection of randomized units, along the lines of a 20 unit set. _________________ My tradelist http://aaminis.myfastforum.org/about1285.html Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:54 pm Diamondback   Caesar Americanus II Munchkin Wrangler AHF Silver-Rated Trader Joined: 22 Dec 2007 Posts: 2967 Post subject: Montpelier better NOT be a frickin' Brooklyn--she was a Cleveland, and if the mistakes get that big I'm goin' frickin' batsh*t! _________________ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Frickin' cookie crap...

I'll bet the Avenger has a special paint scheme.   The axis sub will likely be a German repaint.   The axis plane will probably be Judy. The axis destroyer might very well be Italian Other opinions ?

But you could be right. I am not going to like it if I have to buy a ton of starters to get a good collection of 20 units! _________________ The IJN Carrier Liberation Force - "Because We Care" Join the IJNCVLF.
