Warlord Games have included the majority of their Victory at Sea fleet boxes and ships in this year's November Madness sale, so until the end of the month they are starting at a 15% discount.
To a lesser extent, Blood Red Skies in the air, and Cruel Seas off the shore, are also included with a selection of starter boxes at 15% off.
Black Seas as their final naval game is not included in the 2024 sale, but with Warlord's reduced thresholds for free shipping this could be a good time to take the plunge into one of their other options.

Nice! It is definitely the season for deals.

Warlord Games have started a mystery box sale that includes two of their naval games, running through the end of February. Both Black Seas and Victory at Sea have boxes for $160 that come with a starter set and another $160 of extras for the respective games...

Nice!
On one hand, this is a great opportunity for folks to jump into these games if they haven't already.
On the other, it makes me worry this is the beginning of the end for their support.

I would totally think that for some other lines' random boxes, but when I looked back through 2024 there was a surprising amount of releases for Black Seas in particular from Warlord for a relatively low outlay for them as publisher, so I do not see any problems with that game.
With historical settings is always an issue with reaching the end of actual material to produce, but even Victory at Sea has not reached that point yet, and even when / if they hit the end of WWII, there is plenty of room for second edition / expansion... any bets on whether they go with Jutland or Tsushima first?
