To take a break from usual defending against rook/bishop hordes, brilliant knight masterminds (Rollo) came up with a foolproof plan!
We shall ride pt boats straight into rook strats! No one will see it coming!
Situation was perfect, we had a base near the long river that goes straight into the heart of rook nation:
A rag tag team was quickly assembled at the spawn, 6 brave sailors ready to do what no one has done before in Aces High.
6 of set full throttle forward and started our 2 hour long (I think so, didn't really pay attention) journey...
As we neared the dangerous shores, some saw the shore too late. Sakijoe was the first victim to the deadly shores.
Not 1 minute later, we lose Hawk97 to the shores... And we are down to 4 boats, but we push on!
We decided to group tightly, me leading the way and guiding us through the narrow river.
We sailed for a loong time, talked about literally everything, from life to planes, watched the skies above us, had friendlies pass low over our heads... Really fun time on a really long ride.
Then, after nearly 2 hours, we see the burning rook factories and cities:
Unfortunately, we do not make it past the first 500 meters into the factories. I, leading the way, die first, tower acks prove deadlier than expected, and we did not see them from the river bend and houses...
Soon, MRJumper runs ashore too...
I quickly rejoin EWM as his gunner on a boat, as he loses his engines from ground:
We fight the tower ack for a while, then I leave them to their destiny, and go on bbs to tell the tale of 6 brave men that took the journey, and never returned.
Classic story of knight bravery and ultimate failure.
All in all, I'm glad I resubscribed.
