Land based guns shoot at ships. Land based guns are beside coastal targets which can be shot by enemy boats to earn points. The coastal guns must have a target on them about 50 mm * 50 mm that will disable the coastal gun when shot.
I don't know of any pictures of coastal guns but they are the same as the guns pictured in the link above. You may have any standard cannon you choose. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

The Brisbane Battle Group has it's own website now, http://www.ausbg.org/bbg/index.htm Stewart is intending to increase the information on the site over time. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

There was a battle yesterday. Two battleships fought each other as well as taking some time out to sink some unarmed merchant vessels.
A local paper had run a story on the Brisbane Battle Group and some of the readers turned up to watch the fun. Many people could not believe that they actually shot each other and that the ships would sink.
In the first round a cargo ship was the first to find the bottom. A cheer went up from the crowd as the bow dropped below the water line before the entire ship disappeared leaving a trail of bubbles. Tense moments passed before the recovery float popped up to the surface. This brought nervous laughter from the owner and clapping from the crowd.
The two battleships were left to fight it out. Stewart's ship was in danger of sinking with waves lapping his deck. Stewart was forced to dodge and weave from Marcus' attack. Stewart's manoeuvres helped the bilge pump cope with the flooded hull. The two ships came together to fight again, both wounded but not quite ready to sink.
Again and again they passed cannons blasting more and more holes through the thin balsa wood sides. Finally Marcus' bilge pump could not over come the inflow through his bullet ridden hull. Slowly Marcus settled lower and lower until he dipped from view. Round one to Stewart. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
