Story:

This is our National event of the year, two fleets (Allied and Axis) go at each other for a week of fun, battling, companionship, and (Did I mentioned it?) FUN! On all of this lays the bragging right for a year. Ships as big as the Mushshi and as small as the Espania battle toe to toe in various situations from full fleet battle to campaign to one on one competition. Cargo ships attempt to bring up supplies to allow the Warships to attack the other side during the campaign games. The weak ship draws other ships to it (both friendly and not so) as honey atracks bees. Sunday is testing day as each ship is checked for compliance to the rules and is tested by the captain in perporation for the weeks battling. Monday is traditionally two fleet battles, Tuesday is a fleet and a campaign battle, Wedsday is one-on-ones, small fleet battle, pickup battles and the notorious NIGHT battle. Thursday is fleet and campaign, Friday: a single fleet action and usually the famous battle in a limited area (pvc ring.) known as the cage match. The Event is capped off by the National Dinner with awards and the National rules meeting in which rules to be put on this years ballot are discussed and voted upon.
