Va Lockhart What was that Cpt. De Ruiter?
Cpt. de Ruiter Eh, just, I wondered Sir, Caracas is very good defended, a lot of SoL's. They clearly outnumber us.
Va Lockhart *smiles* We wouldn't have it any other way, would we. So we have something to brag about, when we get home.
Cpt. de Ruiter Yes Sir.
Va Lockhart The plan of attack is simple. We are going in in two lines. Two squads per line. Black and White squads form a line left, Red and Green form a line right.
We see from there. U will take orders from Admiral Hupelepup.
Cpt. Skyforger U will not be leading us Sir?
Va Lockhart No, I have urgent matters elsewhere to attent.
Gentleman, i wish u the best of luck.
Croud Yes Sir.

In de naberhood of Caracas, Tuesday 11, 8pm

A proud british warfleet of sailed in the evening sun for Caracas
Cpt. de Ruiter and Cpt. Skyforger where attached to the black squad. Wich put the black squad to the strenth of 5 alexanders and a hercules.
The fleet sailed in to lines to caracas.
Halfway the 2 lines merged.
The Spannish outnumered us in SoL's. They had 22 SoLs and 2 frigates. We had about 18 SoL's, 2 low level frigates,3 frigates.We also lost a ship enroute.
So it was 24 vs 23 ships.
In sight of caracas the front with blacksquad leading attacked the line in front of the harbor guns. White and Green squads flanked the enemy from the east.
There followed a broadside to broadside battle where we lost Cpt. Warhammerand a couple others. The Spanjards lost 4 or 5 ships including 2 persons who where diconnected.
We turned the line and kept attacking and corning them. After they lost many ships (around 18) they fled. We killed several of them, 4 or 5 manage to escape.
Coused by the late destruction of the defence fords we only had 2 minutes to forfill the mission and we failed:(

Amazing work and amazing writing.

Have you actually considered taking it further?

I will concider it.

Cap. Ruiter, I am not fleeing from Port Battles, but I do have beaurocratic issues to attend to during this week and school + work is a harsh issues, specially when I have around 10 hours of both per day, plus spending more time with GF lately.

I will be back soon I hope tho.

Ofcouse Sir, i wouldn't implying anything else otherwise
