02/23/07 - After falling apart and nearly four years of non-interest and distain, the SCBG may once again be an active functioning club.  There has been significant radio traffic as of late.  It would seem that the Old Hands are craving a little Big Gun combat.  A membership meeting has been called including as many of the Old Hands as possible.  There is no central command as of yet, so current details are a bit sketchy.  A meeting could possibly take place on March 11, 2007.  This site will be updated as information becomes available and substantiated.  If all goes well, the waters of Prado Dam will once again be the conquest of the Axis High Seas Fleet.

10/22/03 - Sad news as Captains Mel and Mike Hitchcock decide to take a leave of absence from the mighty Axis fleet and the South Coast Battle Group.  During Mike's absence, Barry Irick will take over duties as Axis HQ Webmaster so that this site can continue it's efforts. 
Apparently world leaders have signed treaties as no naval battles have occurred during the last few months.  This will give the Mighty axis fleet time to prepare for it's inevitable conquest of Prado Dam.  Details will be forthcoming as soon as Barry gets settled into his new office.

04/27/03 - An Axis light cruiser squadron suffered minor losses due to a lack of heavy units for protection against greater Allied fleet strength.  An Allied destroyer was captured and conscripted into the Axis navy, however the crew may have overthrown the small guard contingent onboard as this ship was witnessed acting against the best interests of the Axis Navy.  This turn of events helped sway the battle in favor of the Allies.  In addition, scattered reports of Allied ships attacking Axis merchant ships were received over the radio, however none of the reports can be substantiated.
The Axis High Seas Fleet Headquarters is expected to issue orders for an accelerated building program schedule in the near future.  This should replenish the Axis fleet strength to a level greater than Allied shipyards can maintain.  In the mean time, Axis captains will continue to succeed with the ships they have.

10/02/02 - Axis repair crews have succeeded in their endeavor to restore Prado Dam.  Our glorious fleet will soon be prowling the waters again.  If the scurvy Allies should dare show themselves, a smashing defeat awaits them.  Fleet Headquarters expects this to be an easy victory due to the latest intelligence reports.  It is clear from aerial photographs that Allied shipyards have squandered this time by crying in their milk rather than repairing and updating their shorted-out rust buckets.  When asked if they are concerned about a renewed and vigorous Allied campaign, Axis captains are known to give a knowing wink and a good chuckle.

08/18/02 - Allied saboteurs have really done it this time.  They somehow managed to blow a strategic part of Prado Dam allowing a partial drainage of the pond.  This partial drainage was a bit of a mystery at first, until it was realized that they were trying to save the fish they have come to know so well during their many trips to the bottom.  See the August 2002 photo gallery for visual confirmation.  Apparently, the Allies theorize that they can't loose if there's no water to fight on.  Axis captains need not worry.  A body of water suitable for combat will be located shortly.  Our glorious campaign will continue.

07/21/02 - Weeds have once again raised their nasty hands to disrupt normal battle routine.  Fortunately, they had little effect on Axis skipper's desire and ability to sink Allied ships.  Granted, the rate of sinking Allied ships fell somewhat from it's normal assembly line routine.  This reduced  rate of sinking has prompted Fleet Headquarters to keep a closer watch on known Allied saboteurs, suggesting that this may be the result of Allied subterfuge gone awry.

04/21/02 - The mighty Axis Fleet has once again crushed the Allied forces.  While the Allied forces did manage to field more ships this battle it only served to give the Axis captains more targets to practice gunnery skills with.   While the Allied Captains were able to score some damaging hits on un-armed and un-escorted Axis cargo ships, they failed to sink a single one or even break up a convoy.  In fact, their only real success came when Allied saboteurs successfully kidnapped the Axis HQ photographer in a vain attempt to keep the world from seeing their failures first hand. 

Anyone possessing photos of the fleet engagements of April 2002 are hereby requested to submit them to Fleet HQ so that these events may be properly documented. 

04/03/02 - AXIS spies have learned that the totally demoralized Allies have cancelled their "maneuvering practice" event.  Apparently, this lack-luster group of sorry skippers have lost all hope of mustering a worthy contest for the far superior Axis Fleet. 

03/31/02 - The AXIS fleet web site is under development.

03/17/02 - AXIS forces rule the waters of Prado.
