Today's raid into Bretonia started with Skyelius at the head of a raiding group consisting of myself, Zorro de Plata, Jose de la Morte and sister Daniela Ferucci. Three Titans, myself in the Bombardero and Jose flying a Gladiator.
Jumping into Leeds from Cambridge, we initially met little resistance, managing to force a humpback pilot to part with 20,000 credits in exchange for his life. It was then that the real fun started.
The Bretonians brought up reinforcements in a staggered fashion, perfect for being picked off. In total, I counted three gunboats, one Outcast Bayonet, three or four templars, one hussar, one challenger and the bounty hunter, Esther Carson. But as I said, they arrived in a staggered fashion. This allowed us to tear apart all three gunboats, while I claimed the challenger and a templar with my supernova, as an additional templar managed to hit my nova torpedo before it was able to get a lock. I also remember the hussar falling, though the time it took to bring down allowed the enemy to nearly drain my regen bays. Centurion Skyelius refilled them graciously, but the damage was already done at this point.
Eventually I succumbed to the more intelligent pilots of the BAF, Goodmen and Woodrow. After that, I think Jose fell. Immediately afterwards, Im told that Skyelius ordered a retreat.
Even though the Bombardero will need to be replaced again, I think it was generally a successful mission. However, I'd really like to note that teamwork is an issue, and pointed out several crucial tactical errors in our more secure comms array. Whether anyone's read those is another issue...
At least I didn't scratch my pristine Black Dragon or Mamoru... yet...
