Debrief at HMS York

[Victor Steiner]

Stress related heath problems I'm afraid. This war isn't going well and I fear she cracked. Admiral McIntire now holds Command of the heartland fleets. He cleared his throat before continuing to the second question. Norfolk is busy repulsing the Corsairs and protecting the refugees coming in from New London, as well as maintaining a vigil over Poole. Newcastle is battered and bruised, but not yet broken. The Ark Royal and Macduff are holding the line. Essex is in serious need of a refit and major overhaul, but with the current state of affairs, we can't afford to withdraw her. Harlow is continuing to hold Manchester, supporting the Yukon from our side and guarding Fort Winchester. Finally, you have the York and Suffork, both of which are on front line duty, as I mentioned.

He leaned back into his chair and produced his pipe, which he began to stuff. Fortunately, Rheinland has allowed the Merchant Navy to fly in and pick up supplies from their territories for fair prices. Which has certainly helped, Liberty has allowed the same. The SCRA, Gaians and Mollies have all agreed to a ceasefire until the Gallic threat is taken care of. The Outcasts and Crayterians support us still and tensions with the Red Hessians have declined as of late. Yet the Corsairs still push, and are getting bolder in the south. You may, in your travels, encounter BDM transports within our borders as well, don't worry about them. The government, in all it's wisdom, has allowed them to fly, so long as they aren't escorted by their own fighters. I suspect the SIS had something to do with that. He finally lit his pipe and began puffing away on it while awaiting her response patiently.
