Location: Ronneburg, Omega-5
An extraordinary battle today! Again we wrest control of Omega-5 from the bloody hands of the Corsairs! As their advance began again on our base of Ronneburg, we have managed to amass a force almost matching the one of the Corsairs. We were at a slight disadvantage, but we soon managed to turn that around entirely.
The battle began with the usual chaos. Knowing we have to get rid of some of these Corsairs fast we quickly dispatched a mass with well placed mines and evasive tactics, without losing a single fighter. The famed Banderas joined the fight soon after we managed to destroy one of the Corsair Elder' ships. It appears that the organisation of the Corsairs could not surpass our own however, and we continued to blast away at their supporting ships without remorse. Soon, Carlos Benitez, the head of the blasted Benitez family was forcibly ejected from his ship, and afterwards the rest of the OPG support. The entire Corsair attack force was soon reduced to two light fighters and Banderas himself, trying to hopelessly dodge our projectiles. I myself managed to put in a mini razor shot on his hull, most likely causing him to promptly fly at a mine placed by one of us in his flight path. After we destroyed Banderas's ship, the Hammen Hole was silenced yet again.
The rest of us stood there proudly, watching over our glorious victory that day. We have taken losses, but Omega-5 is ours! Until next time..

Attachment #1
The tactics, skill and extraordinary devotion to the cause of those fighting on our side in this battle is to be commended! I personally congratulated one Liona Jones of the Hessian Tears squadron for providing fire support where needed and saving at least two pilots from demise with her well placed shots. Although Oberst Jones had informed that she is only but a beginner in the squadron, I already foresee her a high position within the Red Hessians. I am positive that Oberst Jones will omit family ties and promote Miss Jones according to her abilities and achievements.
To all of you in the head army, you have performed admirably! I have envisioned many of you as the new officer cadre of the Red Hessian Army. As such, I have taken the liberty to prepare you with your new posts. Presented below is the list of promotions:
Oberleutnant Wettin to Hauptmann
Oberleutnant Lenz to Hauptmann
Leutnant Leyden to Oberleutnant
Leutnant Farb to Oberleutnant
Leutnant Von Seelenburg to Oberleutnant
Rekrut Gryneus to Leutnant
Rekrut Clauss to Leutnant
Rekrut Koppe to Leutnant
Although a few of them were assigned to other duties during the course of the battle, their continued support requires more than a simple commendation. Congratulations all of you, you will make an extremely fine addition to the officer cadre.
Remember: The enemy never rests as long as they can breathe! Although we won this fight, we cannot underestimate the fighting abilities of the Corsair savages. I hope to see you all next week, as we push on with our assault on Omega-5. Continue like that, and we will one day claim the blasted Cadiz base as our own!
