Last night I logged on and saw that the Bish were getting rolled AGAIN.
Rooks were doing everthing that we should have been doing but when someone would put up a mission they would only get 2 or 3 people to join.
So I decided I would do what I could to stem the flow of the evil rooks invading our sacred Bish territory.
I started the night by uping an AR-234 and porked 31's troops then turned north east to strike deeper into nme territory bombing 2 more barraks and turning for home. On the way back I started thinking up a plan with ThndrEgg to take a few flights of B-17's up into orbit and do a long ranging deep strike on as many Rook Barraks as we could but just in the few minuits it took me to get my jet landed they had taken 2 more of our bases and the barraks I had just bombed had been ressuplied.
It was then decided that we had no time to get our 17's to the alt we would need for such a grand mission.
We then roused the few BOP's that were on and we began to pork troops at any base that had them. We used N1K's, Ponys, KI-67's, P-38's and even a 262.
After a while we saw a change in Rook bahavior, all of the sudden the Rook/Knight front wasn't a stalemate any more. The Rooks were now agressivly pushing into Knight territory.
It was on one of the last 38 runs that someone made a rather silly comment to me.
I along with ThndrEgg and Bayonet had climbed to 20K in our 38-L's to avoid running into any unwanted attention on the way to our objective. After several minuits there it was, V-61. The rooks had been using this Vbase as a ressuply hub for A19 and A25. We dove down, Thndr took out the 2 huts while I and Bayonet began working on the tents.
After they were down I asked Bayonet how much ord he had left "All of it" he replied. I knew that Thndr didn't have much left so I had him escort Bayonet to the medium base to the west, I still had 7 rockets left so I turned east for the troops at A21.
Thndrs Vioce came over the radio "We have a con on our 12 low..... It's a 110, he won't be able to catch us lets push on to target".
They got over the base and took out both barraks in quick succession Thndr went down and reports came back that the rooks were trying to force him to give up the location of Falconwng's Sheep.
While this was all going down I had made it to A21 and began my dive on the troops and an Ostwind made it's way out in front of the huts. I fired off my rockets the same time as he seperated my right wing from the rest of the plane . I saw the huts explode just befor my wounded bird plowed into the ground.
Right after this the guy in the osty (obviously upset because his uber osty skills couldn't stop me) pipes up on 200 "You can't fight so you pork."
I really didn't understand this statement. I would like to state that I nore any of my squad mates have any aversion to fighting. And I don't know what he was whining about because so many of the furball guys have stated that they would be happy if there were no troops then there would be nothing but a big furball. Also I nore any of the guys flying with me were in any way stoping this guy from "fighting", there was a good furball going strong all night between A1 and A19 as always. Actually it sounds to me as if this guy was upset that we were interupting his strat play.
The story dosn't end there. Thndr and I were both down after this run and checking strat. While we were porking troops up north the Rook Ant supply runners had managed to get troops up at 19, 25 and 31.... AGAIN!!!
We already had squad members on the way to 19 and 25 so Thndr and I decided to take the 38's up for 31. we climbed up to 15K and had gone lvl when we see a spit 16 at our low 12. We went light and started to out run him, our objective was after all the troops at 31.
When what do we see but a squad dot on the map over 31.. We call out for identification on that dot and who was it but Bayonet LOL. He had some how managed to escape from that medium base 1.5 sectors NE of 31 and still had rockets to spare! He nailed the troops at 31.
With our objective gone Thndr and I went left and right to face the Spit16. The spit went up and over getting on my 6 about 800 out so I continued to drag him while Thndr dropped in on on him.
The spit pilot looked back seeing Egg and dove down and left coming back up as Thndr turned around and they merged head on neither of them getting any hits. Then it looked as if the spit was gonna run back to base, we hung high and were gonna let him go but then he turned back coming up at us again.
The spit merged with Thndr and fired off some rounds, none of them connecting and I merged diving on his 9 stiching 50cal and cannon rounds right up his left wing. I looked back to see him flopping around with only 1 wing. I gave Cuffs a quick
and we returned to base.
I have to give the rook ressuply guys a most people would have given up as much as we were porking. Thats dedication.
