Subject: report from battlefield

Again from the top of our offensive in Leeds.

At the begining I am sending formal question to high command why I am still only "ace" presented in first line while rest of elite squad do missions in our core space? I mean I need sometimes backup or alteration and that is hard to do with rookies (//NPCs). If reason for staying of our troops in rear have classification *secret* please ignore this part of report.

Well at the morning short dogfight with bretonian bomber, he obviously died. Nothing special happend it was routine.

Much more interesting almost fair fight happend at the evening. I and with me whole Stokes was ambushed by BAF... my companions (//indie KNF, forgot name and Hogosha.. also forgot name... sorry guys) was defeated too soon for evective defense of base... no wonder, Bretonians called their best Hobbard and Trotter, later some ensigns and cruiser, you know... just standard asault squad.

I was seriously surprised by their offer of fair fight.... we all know bretonian fair fights. This was..... well...... almost fair. From time to time someone shot me from guns or even razor but they were doing their best in beeing "fair". I must say nummber of my regens wasnt realy important at the end so we can ignore it.

It was duel between Trotter in bomber and me. Have mounted supernova on my chimaera, Trotter was dead 5 times... yes that much razor hits into hull he survived... chalennger can stand a lot of damage huh. After maybe 45 minutes in fight was Trotter nearly out of nanos which is in frequence of razor hits equal to dead, I've made stupid mistake... maybe from tiredness, maybe just from too big self-reliance and he finaly got me with his supernova.

All in all Bretonnians paid for this one small chimaera with 9 their fighters and one cruiser which isnt bad price if I imagine I've gaved to Nagasaki trophys from names like Carson, McKenna and Hobbart.

PS: they are giving bombers to their ensigns now... what an wasting. Supernova have bigger value than life of rookie, not even rest of ship!

anyway Kampai!
