I've never seen two ports captured simotaneously before, only 15 seconds apart..our backs were again the wall when I logged on last night, 2.5 hours later, the Knights fought brilliantly, capturing 5 enemy airbases, 2 port facilities, and 1 CV...a big WTFG to all of you that had your backs against the wall, you stepped up to the challenge!

That long range city/HQ strike was a nicely timed diversion!

Seems the knights have been "In the bucket" all week, yet we've pretty much held our own and at times get some extra.

<S> Knights!

Noticed they used Scuds.
The opposite team wasnt Patriot.

Hiya Ghost, the HQ/City mission didn't quite go off as planned,excellent defense by the Bishops <S>... but the side effect worked brilliantly, as diversions always do!

Funny, haven't seen a knight squeak on open channel about 'being in the bucket' for the last 3 days at the times 'm flying..<S> Knights!

Another fun night last night, to be sure.

One sad thing, though, was the petty bickering between a few of my countrymen. It went something like this:

"I told you guys 3 hours ago that if we didn't protect this field, we'd be in the situation we're in now."

"Well, if we had followed MY advice, we'd have field xx and port xx by now instead of being surrounded"

"I guess we just suck and nobody cares if our fields get taken then"

etc, etc....

I logged instead of listening to that drivel on the country channel.

Yep, saw that too, just ignored it...talking down to anyone never gets participation..putting up a mission, asking others to join, that gets results in most cases.

Edit: misspeled a wurd.

Yeah had a blast last night.

It was cool how we took p21 but had a hard time finding the cv. I think we got it just before they got the port back.

Yes , you fellas fought valiantly against the rooks. My hat's off to you guys. Great perseverence under fire. I mean you didn't even have us outnumbered by much last night. Heck before long, you fellas might even be able to hold your own with even odds.

(naaah!)

Surely you jest? We had (have had for 3 days) a two front war going on, so yes, it was only your 2 to our 1 odds...Thanks for the compliment!
