    Lol I am encouraged by the comradery here. I actually was introduced by Mark Roe a few years back and was involved in a near purchase of a Scharnhorst from Bob H as well. Things have settled down, house, job, kid, etc so now I have weekends and basement to dedicate to some warship games. Looking for a ship but fully intend on seeing everyone Saturday 9-30-17 in Saranac. Perhaps I can watch and get a first-hand look at how things work. If lucky, maybe even shoot a few bb's ;)

    Love to have you.
    You might take a few minutes to review the IRCWCC.org battle rules.
    They are under the HOME tab - look at the BUILD/BATTLE section
    The battle rules start on page 25
    This is good advise for some veterans :laugh::laugh::laugh:
    I think you will find it useful

    I'm new to this hobby too, I've already met Mark, Kas, and Craig. Great people, and super helpful in giving me the advice needed to start. The battle on 9/30 should be great

    I'll bring along a Northampton I have and will sell it to you should you decide it fits what you're after. It's just a hull but all mounting locations are already built up. Would be a good starting point or backup ship.

    Sounds like a plan. More then likely, I won't be purchasing a ship that weekend but am always fine to look.
    Thanks

    I can bring some extra stuff with me for you to look at if you like, Brett. I might have a random hull or so lying around that I can throw in the back of the truck with my two boats and tools.:)

    We can still help you in choosing a boat you would like.
    You would not lose out on a building winter
    Unfortunately battling is what we do. Sorry you will miss it. :(:(
    With some work you can battle on the first battle next year. :laugh::laugh:
    Is there a phone # so we can stay in touch?
