    welcome aboard. First off, You should look for a club near you(on the home page, there is a place to find nearby clubs). After talking to them, and going to a battle and/or build session, you should have a good idea of the hobby. Then you want to look in the construction thread for ideas, and to look around for pictures and instructions. Best of luck, welcome aboard, and being a frenchman by lineage, good pick on a ship.

    Hello and welcome! Where abouts are you located? The Suffren class is a great cruiser, very good ship to start fighting in (My first ship was the Foch!). Battler's Connection supplies just about everything for this ship. If you need anything, just let us know!

    Welcome to the site.
    Welcome to R/C warship combat.
    Welcome to the French navy. We have some of the best ships on the water in almost every class. And the Suffren is no exception. A really great cruiser, and first ship.
    Feel free to ask questions. We are here to help.
    Vive la France.

    Phil's Treaty Suffren is an awesome ship. I think she'd be a just as good in the MWC.

    Hi Fastgunner, welcome aboard! I've met one of the CNCCers, and they're pretty cool guys. Take a look through the various build threads on this forum, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
