    Welcome aboard!

    Find someone close to you and choose what format you will battle in. Usually it is what's near to you ( for obvious reasons). Then choose a ship. I like to try a few out or watch some to see what ones I like. Then.... dive in, cover head, sell house and family, cash 401k, build pond, quit job cause you will be hooked...

    or just build ship [:)]

    I believe the closest club near you would be SCRAP based out of SoCal. I am currently in training in las vegas until thursday, but will be heading over to the LA area this weekend to battle. If you have the time and would like to come along, I'd be more than willing to take you on the LV to LA leg.

    I do not have that kind of time right now to go over their. I was looking for something more local. I guess its just not popular in Arizona. By the way do you or anyone else on this forum have links to sites that sell parts you use to build these ships? I do not have the money to get everything right now so i think i will just build it slowly step by step. The first thing i want to get done is the deck, and propolesion. (Pardon my spelling its very bad)

    I thought John Clayborn is starting the Arizona Battle Squadron, using a type of big gun rules. While Kotori, Dan, the other big gunners, and I can provide some advice on big gun, he can provide you with a bit more info specific to his club.
