AW message Dump

[Dab]

Comm ID: Denicalus
Recipients: AW Fleet

This message comes delayed from fitting a new fighter who has joined our military. Lieutenant Shagohad has been outfitted to his Stinger. Ten days remain before we will aid him in purchasing a gunboat or bomber.

The Denicalus, along with Impaler-tagged Mollys flying a Gunboat and a fighter, an sso| fighter under contract, and an HF bomber attacked a TBH and Corsair flight of four gunboats. At the beginning there was some dispute about Impalers and HF working alongside an sso|, but their objections were quickly smothered when they found who was in command. Their names were Weston the Impaler's gunboat, Mersington piloting their fighter. Steve McCloud from the HF, and sso| Ace; Alpharius.

We arrived at Planet Crete to find the TBH gunboats Acturias and Mantis alongside the Corsairs Spirit Evil and I_m_rdy. We expected a much harder time than he got, but as usual we found the Corsair's tactical communication to be inadequate. When the two TBH gunboats moved to engage the Denicalus, the other two Corsair gunboats went to engage the Impaler's gunboat. My staff worked as tactical for the group, calling out the two TBH, starting with Mantis and ending with Asturias, as our primary targets and our group swarmed them one at a time. The Mantis and Acturias put up a strong fight but were not able to inflict enough damage to prevent their destruction.

Mantis succumbed to the Impaler Weston's weapons, and then the Asturias fell to my own. Deprived of the more skillful half of their forces, Spirit Evil, then I_m_rdy were dispatched by me in short order.

Our side lost no ships or pilots, and all our ships were still in prime condition. We made our way back to Theta and let the Corsairs drag their broken hulks back to Tripoli.

The Denicalus' tests have proven very optimal. Our new loudout and ship are even superior to our former one. Our newest ship piloted by Shagohad was finished being fitted shortly after this, escorted by the Denicalus and Orome.
