The Sydney Battle Squadron's Great Lakes Ore carrier "Leon Frasier" turns hard to Port to avoid the fire of the Newcastle Battle Squadron's USS North Carolina

The Victorian Battle Squadron "Battleship X" attempts to force Sydney's USS Alabama to break off her attack on a Canberra T2 class Tanker, firing into Alabama as the Alaba fires into the tanker
Again Battleship X punishes USS Alabama for focusing on the tanker, hitting her hard below 'B' turret
Not that it helps the tanker a great deal. But she tried
And paid the price once USS Alabama was no longer distracted Building MeetingsPurposeBattles are competitive and battle meetings can be fairly intense, as each side works hard to dominate the battlefield. This is great fun, but does not give us much time to get to know each other, nor to discuss the finer points of combat or ship construction.To give us the time to have a good chat and to enable members to help each other get their ships on the pond, we have started a series of "Building" Meetings. These are intended to be a more relaxed sort of meeting, time to get to know each other, discuss the finer points of the hobby and help members get vessels on the pond. All our vessels are custom built for the hobby and understanding what needs to be done to build a vessel and how to actually do it can be a bit of an obstacle. These meetings are intended to make it as easy as possible to get a vessel on the pond and working well. Planned Building Meetings of the Sydney Battle SquadronBuilding Meetings are held weekly in at Richard's place in West Pennant Hills. Please contact Richard for details
