Any carriers in this game?

[Miller]

As an avid UV player I have decided to skip WITP and buy WPO. WITP is just too damn huge[X(]

Now I know WPO is mainly based on surface fleet combat. However, are there any early CV's in the game? For example Japan's Hosho, UK's Eagle/Hermes, US Langley.....I would like at least a little bit of carrier battle action[;)]

Also can anyone give me link to purchase it from.....thanks!

Yup. There's a whopping 4 Japanese carriers in the 1922 scenario. They all come in as reinforcements. Don't expect too much from them. It's a surface battle, pure and simple. If you want the air component, learn WitP. It's definitely worth the effort.

Thanks for your reply. Is it only available by digital download?

For the moment. It should be out in boxed format by the end of this week, or failing that, next week.

I've noticed that HMS Eagle and HMS Hermes are not in the game. I saw on another post that it was decided not to include post Washington Treaty carriers like the Lexington. However Eagle and Hermes don't fall into this category so where are they and are there any plans to include them?

I may add them in, wanted them out originally as a balance thing but since I am adding in any class I can find why not.

As to HMS Eagle, I was kind of on the fence as to whether or not to have her complete as a dreadnought.
