The rules have been updated with changes approved on the 2020 ballot.  Aspects changed include rudder area and several Campaign rules.

The 2020 nationals are in the books, and the Allies came out on top!  28 captains attended the event in Bradford, PA.  A good time was had by all!

Updates include allowing more battlecruisers to fight with three sidemounts, clarifying ram inspections, speed testing, and secondary ships.

It’s great to see the new ideas presented at the rules meeting each year and the participation for voting on the changes the members want

2019 Nationals was held from 7/7 to 7/12 in Oakboro, NC.  35 captains took to the water, with 19 allies (89 units) facing off against 16 axis (71 units).  It was very competitive battling all week.  The Axis got out to a 17,000 point lead after Monday, but a strong Allied campaign effort closed the gap to 10,000 after Tuesday.  Axis took the night by 2,000, but Allies won both the fleet battle Thursday by 3,000 and the Campaign battle by 10,000 to take the lead going into Friday.  The Axis responded with a renewed battle cry and took the Friday fleet battle by 6,000, winning Nats by 4,500.  A good time was had by all.
