Fleet encounter report, Tau-31: ~Osaka~, ~Kurashiki~, [KNF]Jester'sRage

An attempt to break the Holman defense perimeter was defeated this evening.
The destroyer SFDS Askari and Battleship SFBS Repulse were engaged just inside the ice packs. Luring the larger Battleship into the ice, our forces were able to concentrate fire on the Destroyer with little interference. Once Askari was burning we turned on the Repulse which had managed to damage some of Osaka's secondary systems. The crew of the Osaka send their compliments to the gunners of the Repulse. Being stuck stationary in an iceflow not being ideal firing conditions they did a fair amount of damage and made our job difficult.

Repulse executed a tactical withdrawal to the McDuff Blockade line. We pursued and intercepted multiple times but weren't able to keep our quarry out of cruise. Repulse stood its ground at McDuff where the extra fire support forced our fighter escort to evade more. The combined defensive systems of the two battleships was intense but we were able to finish the job just before a general withdrawal was called by high command. being out numbered by multiple Bretonian patrols entering the Harris Sector we retreated back to Nago.

Signed,

Seiji Nebotuda, [KNF]~Osaka
