THIS IS THE OLD CFS HQ INFO. NEW WILL BE COMING EVENTUALLY I SWEAR 
Welcome to Club Frozen Seas! While massive surface and air battles are taking place in the Pacific, we look to the black waters of the Northern Atlantic and stand ready for the epic battles that are soon to take place. The Kriegsmarine surface forces along with support from their Finnish allies have been blockaded and stand ready to make a break for open seas while their U-boats devastate allied shipping all over the Atlantic. His Majesty's Royal Navy and their Commonwealth allies with their massive surface fleet cautiously await the imminent clash with the outnumbered but dangerously powerful Germans. Knowing that their supreme leader, Joseph Stalin, has committed most of their countries resources to the Soviet Army, the Soviet Navy eagerly awaits their chance to prove their fighting potential. Neutral Sweden has been able to avoid the fight until now but soon they will have no choice but to join the action!
Join us as we take the fight to the Frozen Seas of the North! New recruits are welcome and we will be looking to fill our ranks for the upcoming season of club play.
If you are interested in joining post in this thread and you will be added to the ranks of our able bodied commanders! Thanks for looking! Once you have joined, type ClubFrozenSeas in theMy Theater of Operations Club section of your profile and our avatar will appear on your posts
