Der Tag will have ships to fill essential fleet gaps but we are also including some spicy list options as well. Below you will find our first Kickstarter surprise: SMS Salamis.
Yes she is a real ship. There are plenty of Great War examples of ships under construction entering service under the flag of the builders nation rather than being delivered. Salamis would have gone to sea if her guns had arrived in Hamburg ahead of the war.
Why are we adding her? Just look at those guns! No German ship has that caliber and hitting power under 260 points. Check out the speed! She could have even joined the battlecruiser raids instead of Blücher. She has the armour of a KM battlecruiser after all. Paired with a Derfflinger you could have hitting power and speed. In a battle squadron with a Konig you could have hitting power and armour.
Look for more surprises in Der Tag when it launches very soon!
Do you have a launch time for the 30 April Kickstarter?
We will post a ‘starting soon’ note Malcolm. We don’t want you to miss out on Hood.
