We had a 'little' invasion attempt by OPG and benitez with a couple indie gunboats, two BPA officers C.Heydon and Stan Ewing along with a newly built Gunboat Cobra to intercept 2 gunboats, 3 bombers and a VHF.

the engagement started shortly after jumping to cambridge, they were slightly unaware at first, but soon moved raggidlly towards us, Stan.Ewing had moved to scout, and the bombers were engaging him, the two gunboats engaged me Heydon and Cobra, unfortunately it did not start well, the combined fire on Cobra was enough to destroy him, but not long after we were able to bring down the first Gunboat and began work on the second, unfortunately again, the other officer Stan Ewing was begining to take heavy damage to hostile fire, after he had fallen the fighter and bombers moved to assist their gunboat. after much work and luck of the gunboat, we were able to bring it down.

Then we moved on to the VHF, I forget his name, but he was not horribly strong and began to take heavy razor damage and the odd mine, even after bott feeding from his friends, we were able to bring him to within an hair of his ships destruction, he engaged cruise several times and despite his ship clearly on fire, he was able to escape. then, moving on to a bomber we began our work with gusto, refusing to joust it worked perfectly and it soon began to take hull damage, like his friend he unsuprisingly ran to a trade lane and engaged before we were able to halt it, with heavy hull damage he wont be pirating for a while.

leaving two targets to dispach, we continued the engagement the bomber we targeted started to see his luck was failing, and with the late arrival of a Molly Gunboat, he fled.

The last bomber was having technical trouble and with unpredictable movements was able to flee also.

all in all a successful engagement, two gunboats blown to hell, and heavily damaged corsair fighters and bombers, with a safe cambridge thrown in to boot. jobs a good'n!
