Hello from virginia! another new guy :D

Hello, i am new to this forum. I am new to big gun combat, and do not have any ships yet. I love ships, i love sunken ships, and i love sinking ships, and i love cannons so this is perfect. I will probably not build any ships until i can make succesfull torpedoes too . Anyway, since i am new, i will probably be asking questions around here (what controller should i get? what should go with it? etc.) I am happy to join here and willing to help if i can.

 

Are you in contact with the big-gun groups down that way?
I think there are two groups down there somewhere. Blacksburg battlegroup, and the Mid-Atlantic battle group.
I think the best advice would be to contact them, and try to hook up with someone that already has a ship, so that you can take a look inside it.
I am not up to snuff on the new radio systems out there today, so will let someone else answer that one.
Mikey

 

thanks! i am not currently in contact with any of them.

 

Welcome!

Where in Virginia are you?

Yes there is a BIG gun group here in Virginia. The Mid Atlantic Battle Group

We are preparing for our planning meeting & possibly the first sailing of the year. It will be held next month.

You can check us out at mabg.org

 

Im located in northern virginia, in loudon county.

 

Great!

We have a captain, and a pond near Leesburg.

Have you checked out the web site?

 

Really? that close? ! well thats awesome! im gonna go check out the website right now

 

When is the meet by the way? and where?

 

We are looking at having our planning meeting in Fredericksburg Late April or May.
It had been planned for April 11th but with Easter being the next day, that put an end to that idea.

Keep checking Fleet Deployments on the web site.
I will post the new date when it is firm.

Have you signed up as a member at the MABG web site?

 

I cant, it says something about internal server error when i agree to terms. besides, i prefer to be keeping track of only 1 forum

 

OK.

I will let you know when we have some dates.

 

hey Guys, we have been trying to get in contact with you. The Maryland IRC group is planning a "Grand Slam" at their Spring regional and we hope to have some Big Gun ships come and show us how it is done in between our fast gun sorties. See the annoncements in the Maryland Attack Group forum.

 

Hey WarspiteIRC.

I did post the invitation and the updates about it on our web page.

So far there have been no takers.

 

Thanks for the help --- do you know ayway to get in touch with the Chesapeake BG Group?

 

Hey totaldestruction;

Please email me with your contact info and I will put it on my club roster.
I am the guy who calls everyone to insure that they know when and where we are meeting.

 

Sorry WarspiteIRC, I have no information of the Chesapeake group.
