Title: This just in from the front...
Post by: gofaster on December 05, 2002, 11:02:07 AM
As of noon eastern US time, Knights are down to 2 bases and a carrier.  Rooks are in 2nd place and down by 10 bases, with the Bish leading.  Bish, coincidentally, have the same number of pilots as the Rooks and Knights combined.

Rooks had failed to make advancements on the Knight home island but did manage to foil an attempted base capture on A45 when the Knights failed to protect their C47s.  Meanwhile, the Bishops established footholds in the southern region and marched en masse northward, squeezing the Knights against the Rook wall.

In the past 4 hours, the Rooks have failed to gain any base captures, whereas the Bish have achieved total global dominance.

The Knight highpoint was the capture of a strategic vehicle base with spawn points to 3 of the 5 island bases.  Unfortunately, the Knights weren't able to exploit this momentary strategic advantage due to the resources used to defend against the Bishops.  In the end, the Bishops won those battles anyway, and eventually seized control of the key vehicle base.

The capitulation was delayed briefly as Bishop bomber pilots took the opportunity to pad their bomber rankings by repeatedly bombing the Knight HQ and strat targets without interference.

The war should be won within the hour.
