:::She stands upright and salutes:::
We have once more followed the Guard. This time we have made it to Tau-31 and proceeded to assault MacDuff as planned.
I was once again in the ammunition room, this time I didn't have too much work after the assault on MacDuff - I was put on Warwolf coolant duty, and given that we have faced mostly smaller targets the weapon wasn't discharged throughout the battle many times.
So I had the time to watch the battle schematics on my side screen - we were engaged by BAF|HMS-Mary.Rose, BAF|HMS-Coventry and BAF|A-HMS-Castle.
The rumors then have been confirmed - there has been chatter about Crayter taking clear sides with the Bretonians, and this has now been confirmed and has turned the tide of the battle. Even though the BAF had entered Crayter Territory first, the vessels =CR=FV-Tyran|248, =CR=Dreamwalker and Evelyn;Taylor a freelancer hired by them attacked us as well, creating a deep imbalance of power we couldn't withstand.
It would appear we will have to bring a much larger fleet next time if the Crayterians have decided to take sides. I know the Guard won't be too happy about this!
