    I am slowly getting back into this hobby. I have battled a few times then went dormant for a long time because of family getting in the way. I am in michigan and am starting to look around again. Any advice as to suppliers and battle locations would be beneficial. We thanks for letting me in and hello to all.

    At the Saranac battle we also go over boat building tips and would be glad to help you choose a ship and build it.
    The suppliers --Battler's Connection ( http://battlersconnection.com/ ) and Strike Models ( http://strikemodels.com/ ) have a large selection of ships and supplies.

    I don't have enough fingers and toes to count to 2000. I have 3 hulls currently that are in need of refurbishment and refit. Uss north carolina, liberty ship and the hms lusitania. Liberty ship is the closest to being seaworthy but I haven't even tested the radios in about 6 years.
