RM vs DTR [Recurring combat event] - War of attrition | May 14th, 8PM UTC

[Barrier]

---

After the last unsuccessful large scale raid on Syros, the Rheinwehr has resumed its tried and true strategy of smaller-scale belligerence. The main aim of this approach is to continually pin down the Corsair forces, and give the opportunity to individual taskforce commanders to show their tactical mettle.

However, the Deterrence captains and admirals have been getting ever better at naval warfare. With the rift between Rheinland space and the Omicrons still open, some in its High Command see this as an opportunity to in turn bleed the Rheinland war machine while there's still time to do so. At the very least, the battleground proves to be an excellent place for seasoning up-and-comers for the more important engagements with the Maltese fleets. And if less hulls return from the metal-grinder than are going in - that's just the price of excellence.

Dispositions

This table will be used to track the current fleet effectiveness of both sides. In future events, capital ships which were previously put out of action are considered to be under repair, and using them for an event is quite dangerous. If a ship gets put out of action while being under repair, it is considered heavily damaged and is removed from its side's disposition.

General rules for each event

• No cloaking.
  
• No docking / repairs / rearming.
  
• Combatants must stay in-system in the designated sectors. Retreating from the sectors is allowed, but this means you cannot re-engage for the duration of that event. Anyone deliberately proceeding too far behind enemy lines (more than one sector deeper into the system) is considered to be put out of action for the purpose of that event.
