Sorry just found this one.
So, without reading all 4 pages is the first post the only thing that is confirmed so far and the rest speculation/would like to have?

It looks so far as
Axis
Heavy Crusier Haguro
Light crusier Agano
Destroyer ?
Plane ?
Allied
Heavy Crusier ?
Light Crusier USS Montpelier
Destroyer HMAS Nizam
Plane Avenger
We know for certain they are set 1 reprints
So allied heavy crusiers are
Canberra (Australia or another Kent Clone)
Baltimore? most likely
Axis aircraft in set 1 to be reprinted
Stuka ( later version higher bomb load?)
Kondor ? i don't think so
Zero ? no we got one last set
Val? i don't htink we can get another out of her
Kate? can we get another version of her?
Axis Destroyers
Luca Tarigo ? no i don't think so
Yukakize ? most likely i think
Hans Ludermann ? not again
Sub chaser? LOL

The purpose of this box is to incline new people to play AND feed the old farts.
So they certinally would slip a chill CV on each side to give would be players potential fun times
(Watch IJN get the Claude and and the Jean...jean is probable actually, reprtint of a swordfish, maybe tinier wings) |

You forgot the Betty. If it's an aircraft reprint, I hope it's an upgraded Betty. |

I agree, even in set 1 alone this unit doesn't live up to her war reputation, or at least not to me. I would have picked her for Japan's first range 1 attack, but Jill surprised me. Maybe she will still get a once-per-game range 1 bomb attack. If she can become modeled closer to the SM 79, then we're talking!!! 
Can we say, "Bye, Bye PoW and Repulse?" 
'Cause right now its, "Bye, Bye Betty!"

Who says the new Starter is going to be tit-for-tat symetrical?
What about a mix that's kinda playable...
IJN Haguro
IJN A7M2 Reppu
IJN Teruzuki
IJN I-21
USS Montpelier
TBF-1 Avenger
HMAS Nizam
HMS Puncher
Sheer speculation, of course.

I wouldn't bet on it. I can't see them giving the IJN two cruisers. The Agano could easily have been a Set IV 'slip.' It is also the class name and that may be where it was transcribed too.
These are not all Set I reprints. The Montpelier is a Cleveland reprint which is Set II.
All we know is the units in the original announcement.

If the USN was to get a CA sister in this set, my vote would be for the Uss Astoria(New Orleans Class). Don't know why, but the Astoria and Portland are the 2 USN cruisers I want to see the most at this point. The North Hampton is a close third, and we don't have a Portland or North Hampton class yet so they won't be in the starter for sure. Here's too hoping for set IV.

I think all those would be good because they're early war stuff, when most of the real ship to ship combat was taking place. Later in the war cruisers did little except escort carriers around.

So I just purchased the 1939-45 land game starter and a case of that set. The set contains the pieces that are also in the starter. What is the chance that the reprints in the next WaS starter are also the reprints in Set IV?
If the starter set and Set IV are released at the same time I could see them being the same. But if the Starter is released significantly before (or after) Set IV it seems to me that would make a lot of people very angry that bought the number of minis they wanted in the Starters only to find out they were also in Set IV.

I bet they are not the same.
You can't compare the land game and sea game as far as repaints. Almost everything in the land game favors multiples - of course you can have too many Shermans or MG42s, but you probably want quite a few. In the sea game, that is much less true since everything carries a unique name, a lot of people respect class limits, etc.
RB seems to be shying away from too many repaints in the normal booster sets--I think this is very intelligent, since too many repaints could really drive down the demand from established players.
From what we know, this starter is a great idea. Using repaints makes it cheap to produce. Having a fixed set allows it to be packaged and marketed to new players MUCH more effectively (who wants to buy a couple of sealed boxes of who-knows-what at the game store for $30 MSRP and end up with pieces that don't allow a meaningful game to be played?).
But if they are unique repaints, i.e. not included in Set IV, then the fixed-format also makes it a perfect vehicle to sell repaints to existing players -- since they know up front what they are recieving and can buy as little or as much as they want. I know for me, the kind of thing that makes me stop buying boosters is thinking "how will I feel if I fork over $10 and then pull my 6th Hipper/Eugen".
Assuming these are unique repaints, I expect a lot to sell to new and established players. I hope they soon come out with a European starter too, which will encourage those folks that want to collect a British, German or Italian fleet... |

I'm really kinda Annoyed by the presence of one-off reprint commons in a starter set, for example, if I want more than 1 of the reprinted Avengers (I'll want 3 if they're different from the old ones) that means I have to buy 3 starters, which would include 3 Hageros... what the heck am I gonna do with 3 Hageros? It also means I'm gonna be paying multiple times for a bunch of stuff I won't want/need.
