Over the past few days, we have been rather active in Rheinland, utilising hardware such as the CPW-Jan.Richthofen and the CPW-Death's.Head, a Typhoon-class and a Storm-class respectively, to harass the Gestapo elements which control New Berlin.

On one such foray, after my gunners destroyed a Rheinland Federal Police light fighter from maximum range (the crew manning the missiles have all been given a Mention in Dispatches for their superlative accuracy), Captain Totenkopt's gunboat was attacked by RepEx vessels whilst my flag was tangled up with a Rheinland Military bomber. Both conflicts ended inconclusively due to meteor showers forcing both sides to seek shelter. Of note, however, is the fact that civilians are acting as a military force. Captain Totenkopt has already begun to destabilise their counter-Revolutionary paramilitary organisation.

In the following days, our scout force was strengthened by the presence of Lieutenant Commander Vasiliy Prutko and Lieutenant Norman Bethune, providing a much needed fighter escort against the horde of bombers scrambled by the fascist forces.

They arrived after we destroyed a Fafnir-class heavy bomber, just in time to expertly assist us in a fighting retreat, which we were forced to conduct due to the presence of the [RM]Ravensburg, a battleship under the command of our foes. We were also assisted by one 'Hessen', a Red Hessian cruiser, who provided some distraction from enemy fire.

As we fell back to Vogtland, Lieutenant Commander Prutko was able to take down an enemy bomber, in spite of the enemy being in a much stronger position than ourselves.

In all of our recent engagements in Rheinland, we have made every effort not to lose any of our all-too-precious vessels and pilots. We were entirely successful in achieving these goals, and caused some level of trouble for the government of Rheinland. There is much to be proud of, but still much to do.
