    This is a fine model and makes an excellent target for any wayward Mogador's that may be in the area!

    Mogador's rarely seen kind of like Sasquatch, but you do hear it way too often.

    It's actually quite fun to drive around, and seems to attract Allied battleships like honey for bears.

    Quite stable. It's a tanker hull, so you could ballast it down with some weights in the bottom of the hull. I ran it at minimum weight as those pesky allies would be sure to add plenty of bb ballast during convoy runs.

    As a further note, half the size and price of Normandie, but then again, tankers don't have that glamour-boat thang that liners do....

    convoy ships are useless now that the Anti-campaign forces have essentially killed campaign.

    I hope you are wrong:crying:
    I think it will be up to the admirals to see that there are enough convoy boats at NATS to have a fun campaign.
    There are plenty of boats out there, we do need coordination.

    P.S. I think we would need to UP the points for a successful run.

    Hopefully not true. The difference is the Admirals are already chosen for next year, it is up to them to coordinate ships for campaign.

    Some like to battle and some like to drive between objects, I like to battle. But others like the challange of driving between things.

    Try the challenge of driving Altmark between Charlie & Austin and still making it to shore.

    Is she still available? I won the Life Line Award at the 2013 MWCI NATS with an Altmark.

    Once upon a time, maybe not so long ago when men were men and wallabies were, well, wallabies, in a pond not so far away, or maybe very far away, they shot him a lot. from both sides. he may or may not have sank prior to making shore, but he took a lot of damage. and that's how balsa cheese was born

    and they all lived happily ever after. except for the balsa cheese, no one liked it
    the end
