 | | 11 Apr 2010 03:15 PM | | I've been looking at this hobby off and on for about three-four years now. I was living in Little Rock for a while but couldn't find a club nearby. I understand that there are several clubs active in Ohio, and would like to stop by a meeting or battle if possible. | | | Treaty:

| | 12 Apr 2010 11:20 AM | | Thanks for the welcome. I'm not sure which rule set I want to build yet, but I am leaning towards IRCWCC because of the availability of guns and it seems to be the largest group. As far as my first ship, I am leaning towards the Roberts-class HMS Ambercrombie or an American Cleveland/Atlanta Cruiser. The cruisers have hull kits available, so for the fabrication they may be the way to go. Any thought on this? | | | Treaty:

| | 12 Apr 2010 12:05 PM | | Welcome to the hobby, and the site.
The Cleveland class cruiser would probably be the best choice for a first ship out of the group you listed.
It is larger then the others, and as you said.. A kit is available from Battler's Connection.
The is a fast-gun battle coming up in the middle of May in Newark, Ohio.
And we are hoping that there will be some fast-gunners attending the Treaty battle in Xenia, Ohio
on Memorial Day weekend.
I live in Pleasant Hill, Ohio (Troy).
We will be having some build sessions perhaps every other weekend here. Perhaps you can drop in at one in
the neasr future.
Happy hunting..

You'll get a much better idea of strengths and weaknesses, how different ships are used, different battling styles, ease of construction, etc. that will help you decide what is best for your interests and skill level. | | | |
