Dec 25 2025: Merry Christmas IRCWCC!
Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings to all our captains in International Radio Control Warship Combat Club. May today be filled with family, food, and cheer (and may the blessings of the season, as well as our thanks and appreciation, be with any of our members actively serving or otherwise unable to be with family).
And, of course we hope all your winter builds and/or refits go smoothly and we see everyone out at battles this season!
Aug 30 2025: SAS Hosts first battle of the season!
Labor Day weekend our southern captains in the Southeast Attack Squadron kicked off the battle season with a three day "Labor Day Leadfest" battle weekend in Statesboro, Georgia. It was a great weekend of battles, with the formal launching of the new HMS "Inconceivable" (it's what Eric and Carl jokingly call their new Invincible-class battle cruiser) and plenty of sinks, a LOT of fun was had by all.

May 30 2025: Port Polar Bear host's regional battle

We had members from across the country (and international!) attend for a week of friendly battling (and trashing each other's ships). It was actually a close event, with the leading team flip-flopping over the course of the week, but final congratulations to the Green Fleet and their Admiral, Steve Andrews.
