...STARTING...

[font=Palatino Linotype]Oberkommando der Roten Hessen,

I am glad to report back alive from a major ambush of the Rheinland Military.
Ralph Hessler and I were on a scouting mission in New Berlin when we picked up a lone Bergelmir of the Hauptflotte - It spewed out some threats and retreated peacefully afterwards. It was to our great surprise when a fighter wing, consisting of 4 Hauptflotte and 1 Bundesgrenzschutz ships, appeared out of nowhere soon after. We were caught off guard and retreat was not an option so we took our chances and engaged the wing. My knowledge of the Wraith's weaknesses and Herr Hessler's combat experience proved to be more than a match for their superior numbers. We quickly forced one of the Hauptflotte ships to run to Bonn station and Hessler took down two others shortly after that. As if that would not have been enough two Wraiths of the Büro der Marineintelligenz and a secondary fleet gunboat arrived and opened fire on us, too. The only reinforcement we could manage to get in the meantime was a Kamerad named "Theater". At least we were not completely unlucky - the remaining Hauptflotte forces and the BGS ship were so demoralised by the quick blows we struck against them that they retreated, leaving only the BDM and the gunboat to deal with. We decided the gunboat posed the biggest threat of all enemy vessels around at that point and concentrated our fire on it, and...well, we actually managed to destroy it. After exchanging some salvos with the two BDM ships they realised that it was futile to fight on and also retreated.

I don't know how we made it out of there...but we did, even without a loss on our side. If it were not for Hessler I surely would have ended back in a cell or worse - I owe that man a Bier.

Summary:
[color=#FF0000]1 enemy gunboat - destroyed
7 enemy wraiths - 2 destroyed, 5 forced to retreat

[color=#33CC00]friendly losses - none

Guncam shots are attached at the end of the report.
