About the Bay Area Blitzkrieg
This club was formed in 2017 by a small group of individuals with a common interest.
Radio Controlled Tanks and Vehicles!
Over the years the club has evolved from a few members to a nice size group (and growing). Instead of a few model tanks, there are more tanks and other vehicles as well as dioramas adding some realism to the events.
The "BAB" is open to all who enjoy radio controlled armor. Although we fare focused on 1/16 scale WWII armor, members also have tanks and other armor from different periods.
Bi-weekly meets as well as special events are open to all with NO membership fees.
