Are you ready to jump feet first into the greatest hobby in the world? If this is your first stop on the topic of RC Warship Combat, welcome aboard! We’re thrilled you’ve found us. NW Naval Combat (also known as the Washington Cascade Column) has been the home of radio-controlled naval combat in the Pacific Northwest since 1997. We battle with 1/144-scale models of WW1 and WW2 warships. These semi-scale balsa-wood hulls are armed with CO₂-powered BB cannons — and yes, ships really do sink when they take too much damage!

We have posted a preliminary outline of planned dates for this summer’s battles.  Currently our only usable pond is located in McKenna.  We are looking in to an option in Snohomish. If you have a pond, or know someone with a pond, and would be okay with having model warships battling, please use the contact form to let us know.  We are especially keen to find something in the Tacoma to Renton stretch as that is a comfortable mid-way point for many of our members.  We can provide site insurance through NAMBA as well as personal policies covering individual battlers against injury and damage.Read More →

Sept 22 event is being scrubbed from the schedule.  We have lost access to both our prefered venues, Swan Creek and Coal Creek, so we are probably done for the year. If you have a pond, or know someone who has a pond and would be willing to let us play on it, this year or next, drop us a line. If you are interested in the hobby, we will probably have a few get-together and BS&Build sessions over the fall and winter at which interested folk are always welcome.Read More →
