Hi all,
Check out this web site :thumb:

For details of the Australian Battle Group.
We build scale models of warships and merchant ships that are designed to sink :crazy:when hit by enemy fire. The merchant ships try to complete convoy runs around a set course:fear: and the opposing warships :heh: try to sink them :yield:while friendly warships protect them. That's the theory anyway, in practice it often turns into an all out stoush between battleships!
The warships are armed with cannons that fire ball bearings and we use compressed CO2 as the propellant.
There are sub-groups in most states of Australia and they hold local battles, usually once a month, and national battles are held twice a year with a smaller all-states battle in October which the Canberra Battle Group hosts. National battles can see as many as 40 ships on the water at once - mayhem!!
Cheers,
Davo
