R/C Naval Combat

I have just starded on the plugs but they shouldn't take very long.  I want to have them ready to hand out at the may battle so we can try them out in june.  I was thinking more of a convoy battle than a harbor to start but we can certainly try all sorts of things.

This isn't going to be convoy ships running around since we don't have the captains.  At some point I would like to be able to have convoy runs but we aren't there yet.  So in the name of what can we do the convoy ships aka "bath tubs"  will be set at anchor off shore some ways.  Per US war time doctrine, ships would be spread out a half mile or more apart which to scale works out to around 18'.  That is probably a bit too far apart for us.  As to whether this is a harbor attack or not that depends on how you view the shore line.  To scale a harbor/anchorage would look a lot like coal creek or swan creek.  But really a convoy in port is still a convoy.  What I do not want to see is ships bunched so close together that there is no room to maneuver around or through them.   Lets try to get the basic parts working first, then lets build on that for more complex scenarios.

This kept challenging us for sea control

Thanks, I'm a big fan of the ones from earlier in the day with the reflections of the superstructures in the water.

After the last battle I realized that I really like my bow gun. So I have decided to stick with a bow gun and dual sterns. I have already orders three cannons from strikemodels. Hopefully he wont jerk me around and get them to me in a timly fashion.

 Alex, did you get those cannons yet?
