From RPS....just a teaser trailer, not a lot of detail. But one I'll put on my radar to follow.  http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/09/02/man-o-war-corsair-games-workshop/#more-311737

Man, GW are sure milking their IP in every possible way.
Not that I'm complaining too much, but what happened to the days they actually sold Warhammer stuff instead of just licensing the IP for royalties?

It's not like Dreadfleet had people stampeding for copies.

I guess if you can't sell good games, relicense the ones someone else made that you still own. Plus it probably allows them to renew the IP protections. Or, as they would describe it: the old doing well by doing lots of lawfare strategy.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I was hoping for the battle fleet gothic treatment - it looks like they've fannied around too much

It looks a bit...rough...in my opinion.

Is there a naval component to Warhammer Total War?

This one evaded me...

They just (today) patched in Bretonnia, Khorne, Ork ports (which read like Costner's wreck in "Waterworld"), and a bunch of other stuff to play with.

It's definitely an "early release" game but it's a good time so far.  Then again, "Man o' War" is one of the best games GW ever created.  I've long wondered why it never got the deluxe treatment of the forgettable "Dreadfleet".
