Brothers.

I believe we have let the Corsairs get far too complacent. They are operating in Dresden as if it was their system, coming out to hit a Bounty Hunter first and then attempting an assault on Vogtland. The enemy force consisted of a fighter ([OPG]Ivan) and a gunboat ([OPG]Asno). As they advanced on my position, I have been joined by a previously unknown Hessian bomber under the handle of Davy Jones. I am grateful for his assistance as he took the attention of the Corsair gunboat while I had destroyed the fighter.



We were soon after joined by a known Bundschuh friend and fighter, Dachshund. At this point I learned that the bomber was unable to damage the gunboat due to a lack of anti armour weaponry. The rest of us being in fighters, we shot at the gunboat for a bit and then decided to dock on Vogtland, not keen on being destroyed by it without any hope of damaging it. The Hessian bomber was incapacitated in the process, but fortunately only suffered minor damage. All in all we should be on the look out for Asno, his gunboat is proving quite a nuisance to our anti-fighter equipped forces time and time again.

I have questioned the pilot Jones and how he got his Thor bomber. It turns out he hails from a division of the Red Hessians called the "Hessian Tears". I have never read anything about or heard from such a division, but I will let our leadership do the talking. At the time being I have had no problem allowing the pilot to dock on Vogtland with regard to his help against the Corsairs. I do hope there will be some clarification on this matter though.

On a finishing note, I am deeply saddened that brother Hansford is withdrawing from active duty. If I encounter him again in the halls of Vogtland, I will strongly urge him to reconsider as nothing hurts our cause more than loss of perfectly capable pilots. Myself I have been doing what I can to keep active in the recent days, but we all really do need more backup out there.
