Hi Paul,

Unfortunately this forum is not a club, it's a worldwide forum and hobby resource. If you wish to find clubs then they are here:
http://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/v ... .php?f=178" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Most of the large clubs have posted there.
Also, regular members? some are different, such as UKTC & RCTR in the UK, they have meets at irregular times at different shows and events places with different members going to each meet, so it would be harder for them to put down a figure?

Cheers mate,

Matt

Hi there Carnage Good to see another I/R battler

Have you guys there heard about an international Battle/Tank meet yet?

[Carnage]

Nope, not yet. Since a month or two Belgium has started a nationwide club as well, and we are cooking up a plan of getting together sometime next year. Should be a blast with that many tanks. We usually build nice battlefields.

Here are some examples of demo's and meetings we have done in the past.

We usually just meet up and start driving and shooting whoever we can About 2-3 times a day we have an organized battle, where we just play out a scenario and battle Axis vs Allies.
