All's fair in love and war

[guitarguy]

As the commander of the BAF| forces for part of the fight, I have a few thoughts.

1) A furball is a furball, nobody can control where it goes without completely stopping the fight. If the battle drifts too close to the Derby, retreat, but don't blame the other side because they really had no control over where the battle moved.

2) Some BAF| and BTA were watching the fight (usually after they had been killed), but not participating, from the Derby. This could be seen as base camping in the heat of battle, but in reality they were just spectators.

3) I can't type and dodge, particularly when I have a Corsair marksman on my tail. Therefore, I did drift out of the battle to give orders and type in general.

4) Dieter logged later in the battle and told me to keep away from the Derby, which I relayed to the rest of the group. We didn't go back to the battleship until we retreated.

5) As others have pointed out, the [KNF] and [AFA] have both base camped in the past, so it's a bit hypocritical to expect us not to. If both sides agree to stay away from bases during fights, I'm all for that, but we can't have it both ways.

6) Unfortunately, I don't know how the fight started, but if the fight would have been organized prior to engagement, we could of had a nice fight over in northwest Leeds.
