Good morning, dear ladies and gentlemen! I am sorry for not telling this earlier, my radio antenna was destroyed in a battle last evening. At the start, it was a great battle for us. We gathered a strong fleet to defend planet Leeds. It was consisted of two Dunkirks, two destroyers, a gunboat and some snub craft. Ronin also had a destroyer there and one or two snubs. We were expecting a massive Gallic attack.

Soon, our expectations became true - two Valors appeared on the planet to Edinburgh gate trade lane. Those Valors were strong ships, but their captains clearly didn't know how to use their strength. The Valors quickly fell to pieces. Almost a minute after this attack, two more Gallic battleships came. It looked like these captains were skilled as those before them. Their ships were also turned to junk. Our ships now had time to dock and repair. Couple of moments after, a third wave of Gallic attack appeared. They attacked us with their infamous bombers. But, these guys were serious. We didn't have any losses till now. Ronin lost one of their destroyers. Soon, about two or three LaBrise bombers came to help GRN. An AI cruiser joined our side, but was quickly destroyed by the enemy bombers. They ware gaining more and more forces, as our forces were shrinking. Our fighters were vastly outnumbered by Gallic snubs. Something had to be done. Our capital fleet slowly, but steadily, moved towards the Gallic snubs. When we got them in range, we quickly destroyed one of them. But, this success didn't last long. One of our destroyers, HMS-Hell Hound, exploded after numerous Nova and Supernova shells hammered into her hull. After her, one more of our destroyers disintegrated. At that point, almost all of the Gallic ships were destroyed. But, that couldn't stop them from blowing up HMS Yorktown. I tried to defend her with my flaks, but they were damaging Bretonian ships more than the enemy ships and torpedoes. HMS Yorktown had to be sacrificed in order to win. And she was sacrificed. And we won! Still, GRN had three more Valors, one cruiser and some bomber reinforcements left in Edinburgh. What was left of our fleet was: my battleship, one or two Ronin snubs and couple of our snubs. We were expecting the worse - and the worse came true. Our scouts spotted the Gallic forces gathering in Leeds by the Edinburgh gate. One of their battleships, with some bombers, was apparently going to LD-14. We managed to intercept the minor fleet. I engaged the Valor. Her guns were unable to hit my little nimble battleship, one of the best products of BMM. However, I was easily hitting the Valor. The Gallic battleship didn't even receive a lot of damage when the bombers started pounding my ship with torpedoes. My energy was low and I couldn't fire flaks to defend. I had to focus on the Valor and hope for the best. Just when my hull was almost breached, one of my Tertiaries hit the Valor's forward gun hole, probably her weak spot. The Valor fell apart with amazingly bright and loud explosion. Now, I could focus on the bombers. One of them, incapable to hit my ship with Novas from far, came close to land a hit. I managed to take it's shield down and it's Nova did the rest. Poor pilot... I docked on LD-14 for some repairs. I saw that we won another battle. But, my eyes seamed shortsighted. Gallia now attacked with anger. A Valor, a cruiser and Silver.Reaver came to silence the resisting defenses of Leeds. The Valor cruised towards my ship, while our snubs were too far away to disrupt her. She came dangerously near. The cruiser was there to accompany her in destroying the resisting HMS Thunderer. I knew I can't destroy a Valor from close distance, so I began pounding the cruiser with the notorious Thunderer's thunders! It seemed that it wasn't enough to destroy the heavily armored cruiser. Then - a shell coming from one of the guns of RNS Overlord, the battleship, landed near my generator. My ship had to stop and to shut down everything in order to stop hull disintegration. It was over.

A thought came trough my mind: I could use the technique made by the captain of HMS Argosax against the Valor. I could go behind her when she was still charging her energy after cruising and pound her with everything I have. Still, that wouldn't be enough. GRN had a cruiser, some bombers and a whole Valor left, if this one gets destroyed. I have to accept the defeat. If Gallia has more fleets like this, I expect the worse. And I hope for the best. God save Bretonia!

With respect, Charles Richard Hall.

Good evening, dear ladies and gentlemen! I must say that this is sarcasm. Till now, I was known as a good news messenger. Sadly, that means that I won't bring any good news now. In the battle of Leeds about a day ago, the code breakers on board of my battleship intercepted a rashly encrypted message coming from RNS Overlord, a Valor.

The message was about a new combat technique developed by her captain. That technique could neutralize our Dunkirks's strafing effect, making them vulnerable. I thought that it's a message which was intentionally poorly encrypted, so we can read it and lose our strong morale. However, when I met RNS Overlord, I realized that I was wrong. The captain really developed a new anti-strafing technique. I could evade some of the Valor's shots, but that wasn't nearly enough to destroy her. My ship was disabled instead of the Gallic battleship. And it was quick. The Valor didn't even use nanobots! We must do something to stop that Valor. We don't have enough number of ships for that. What we need a new technique. I remember that the captain of HMS Argosax had a technique that didn't even involve strafing, but he often destroyed Valors much more powerful than his ship.

Here, I request from the captain of HMS Argosax to share his technique in order to make destroying RNS Overlord much easier for us and show it, if he can, to the rest of our battleship captains in Salisbury. Thank you in advance!
