Subject: Convoy Report.
What a good day gents,
Started with Fimmion, Aiden and meself running berl to Liberty, an' neon back. Was joined by Alex onboard the Berwick, and our escort pilot John Smith.
Was shadowed by ROS gunboat... Westphalia from Pennslyvania, and 'e tried his luck at Cambridge. The combined effort of Aiden's, John's and the Perth's weapons showed 'im off. Toasters also showed up, but seemed more interested in the outcasts than our convoy. (Which consisted of all the above ships by then).
Decided on moving berl from Cardiff to Altona in Hamburg, and set out with only minor problems.
Reached New Berlin and a LWB ambush was found in time by Aiden, the tradeships went above and managed to evade. They must have gotten wind of our destination, and they hit again between Alster shipyards and Altona in Hamburg. Although we had managed to get an escort of two Rheinland military fighters in New Berlin.
Aiden went down to a pair of mines, but we managed to tractor in his pod. Alex on the Berwick managed ta get out quick, and the Stonehenge's cruise engines were tough enough to withstand the distuptors fired at it. Seems the sheer amount of disruptors fired at my own ship's engines damaged them, and we were sitting ducks for 'em... Tried ta reason with the pirates, but they responded to word with supernova... In the end we had to hand over 4 million credits.
You'll have to get the report from John on how the fighting went, as I wasn't able ta keep track of it.
Both escorts were taken down, and Alex decided to play it safe and stay at Altona. Fimmion and I decided to keep going, back to Bretonia. Had a few close calls on the way, including a pirate called Job, but luck was with us.
