Description de la/des situation/-s
Situation:
Earlier today I was called to service once again. Together with a few others, I was assigned to a patrol in New London. While we were organizing our route near Battleship Le Cendre, the first Bretonian ship entered the area. It was a transport vessel, but equipped for combat. The pilot first tried to make us an offer, but that turned out to be a rather unimpressive fake. Fortunately, I was in command of the RNS-Nice, which meant we were done with that ship rather quickly. Almost at the same time, the Bretonians recieved fighter support, however one of our pilots had him under control. The Bretonians kept getting more and more ships. A Crayterian cruiser and an old "Dunkirk" battleship arrived at our position, so I quickly decided to get the RNS-Nice to safety on Leeds. There I took my Cougar and came back to the battle as fast as possible. In the meantime, we got some reinforcements, a fighter and a Triumph destroyer came to our support. The Bretonians brought in another two fighters, both were destroyed by Thierry Renault, the same person who already took down their first fighter.
Pierre Vaillant and the captain of the Triumph called RNS-Victoire, myself and the pilot of the Chavalier.de.Provence took down the Crayter cruiser and the Bretonian battleship without any trouble. The Victoire remained untouched, while we only took minor damage. Thierry Renault was meanwhile able to destroy the other two fighters, but just as the last one was finished, another fighter showed up. Renault's ship took some damage from the fights before, so the Chavalier.de.Provence was sent to assist him. Together they managed to finish off the last fighter. After that the space remained quiet. We sent out another fighter wing for the patrol, since we were busy repairing the damages on our ships.
