Nats is approaching, and your friendly CD and Admirals would like to know who is planning on attending and what you're bringing, so that we can make a list, check it twice, find out who's naughty and nice, and assign people to fleets appropriately.

So, I guess to get things started:

Naughty Fleet:
Captain Ship Units

I moved overseas 7 years ago during a rough patch in the hobby, and sold most of my ships and was resigned to never battle again.

Except….

Wade offered to to keep my stuff in his attic “just in case”

Or do the penalty points get subtracted from the captains score on the scorecard excel spreadsheet.


Question 2--------------------------

If there is a blue on blue ram and there is damage where does the penalty points get marked for that?]]> 5 Quick non-powered prop question Mon, 17 Jan 2022 17:46:34 +0000 https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/quick-non-powered-prop-question.446940/ https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/quick-non-powered-prop-question.446940/ invalid@example.com (darkapollo) darkapollo They can be actual props? IE with blades? Not just flat disks?
Can they spin freely so long as they are not providing any thrust? (Like a pinwheel)

The rules are only very specific about drag disks and their size and shape. It only says ‘non-powered props must not be larger than powered props’

The reason I ask is because I noticed in testing on my particular build with various sizes of drag disks, a large trough of water was created...

March is right around the corner and with it the beginning of the spring regional battling season. Nationals is quickly approaching, and I'm sure everyone has been busy this winter either building new boats or refitting to prepare.

To that end, I'm putting out this open recruitment call. The allied fleet needs YOU. The current fleet disposition between axis and allies is pretty horrifically unbalanced. Right now the axis fleet in both quantity of ships and units is up 2.5x the...

The shaft count on the ship list is listed as 2. However, from everything I've read and found researching the ship, it actually had 4.
