A new preview picture from the upcoming Axis & Allies Naval Miniatures War at Sea was recently posted on the Avalon Hill forums. The photo, posted by Robert Mull of Avalon Hill, is that of the Japanese battleship Yamato. The photo is large and detailed showing the 5 11/16" miniature in all of it's glory.
The first "official" FAQ for Axis & Allies Battle of the Bulge is now available. However, it has only been posted to the Avalon Hill message forums so it does not have the appearance of being official.
