Re: [FT] Playing with Big Ship Models

Guys and Gals:
  Then again there is Big Gun RC Combat.  The players build 1/144 scale
warships 
(WWI and WWII) arm them with CO2 powered ball bearing cannons, RC them. 
They 
are put on a pond and you go out and try to sink each other.  One thing
that 
quickly becomes apparent is that the skill of the captain has ALOT to do
with 
how effective the ship is.
