Madam President. The tactic you describe was presicely what Artemis and I were doing at Harris and we still lost. At one point we had engaged the two ships one on one, then both the Cylons turned on me for a bit, then Artemis, each time forcing us to use bats and bots. At no point could we maneuver well enough for both of us to hit the same target at the same time.
Adm Adama:
Cpt. Adalante, in addition to researching optimum equipment for our fighters I am tasking you and Lt. Helion with taking every possible opportunity to conduct training ops with our pilots. I want to focus on accuracy and maneuvering, or any other means of reducing our apparent disadvantage. Colonial Intelligence is working on getting you more accurate information regarding the new Cylon Raider design but for the mean time hunt pirates or fight each other if you have to.
To the rest of our pilots: take every opportunity to learn from the CAGG, dogfight with him and hone your skills.
Promotion for Lt. Samarez to full LT. is approved due to bravery in combat, congradulations!
Lt. Nathaniel-your recent engagement with the Cylons in Theta has not gone unnoticed however I don't believe it was a true test of your skills as the battle was heavily in our favor due to the SSO assistance. As Cpt. Adalante has had most opportunity to watch you in battle I will grant him discretionary authority to promote you to full LT. when he sees fit.
I have placed Achilles on our inactive reserve list, he has requested a leave of absence to hunt chickenhawks on Denver. Our pilot roster stands currently at 5 active. Officers and executives are working hard to refil our ranks.
