    I'm interested in this sport, and would like to see what there is in my area. What clubs are there in Michigan?

    There is a MWC group near Lansing. I am pretty sure they will get back with you on here.

    Welcome Nathan.

    Did you go to the members part of the form where it has a search engine for local groups?
    It will also give you screen names of local members as well.

    No, I found the list of people in Michigan, but I couldn't find any club search engine. Could someone walk me through it?

    Great Lakes Attack Squadron is the local Michigan MWC group I got in touch with recently. The website for it is here www.glas-info.net/index.html get a hold of Mark Roe. There was a club forum here but it was for a Detroit group which is not active I hear. With the site change that forum was lost. I haven't heard of many big gun people in MI but heck I am new too. Mark has one big gun ship I think. Plus there is an Ohio big gun group I hear.

    Living there (which I did about 2 years ago) you really have two choices. GLAS or Treaty. Glas is certainly closer & is a great group of guys. I would recommend getting a hold of them.

    Does Treaty have a webpage? The previous poster (gardengnome) said he didn't know of any Big Gun clubs in Michigan; Has anybody heard of any? If not, what would be the closest Big Gun club to Battle Creek Michigan?

    There are MWC guys close to you in Lansing, East Lansing, Clawson, Commerce. They have battles at a school in East Lansing once a month. They have not posted the schedule for this year yet. Contact the people on these pages.

    MWC (GLAS) is closer to you then Treaty is. We (Treaty) are primarily in Ohio at the moment, but use slightly modified versions of the same ships you'd use for GLAS. We don't have a webpage so to speak, mostly we use an email list.

    Midwest Battle Group used to have some Michigan members, as I recall. I don't know about these days, but they used to be very active. Last I heard, they were battling but didn't have much of an online presence.

    Several of the Treaty folks are on here as well, and we have most of our stuff posted in the local clubs section here as well.

    The Midwest Battle Group (big-gun) was very active years ago, and was based out of Fort Wayne.
    We had members from Oh., In., Mi., Ky., Il., and some others. But it only had one event in Ft. Wayne a couple years ago.
    I am not aware of any events last year.
