Asteroid Blues

Gooooood morning Ariadna…this is Rita Skeeter, your favourite war correspondent Live from Castropol in a wonderful day on our radio station on seaside. Today the sun is blessing us and antipodes are still sleeping in the forest or we hope so.

Considering the location, you have to pardon me as usual for occasional loss of signal or receiving delay.

But let’s go straight on today’s main argument, thanks to Cossack High Command we have a fresh battle report describing a skirmish between our proud Tartary Army Corps and the vile men of Nomads, but let’s hear directly from them what happened:

____________________________________________

Hello there, General Kenob…Colonel Voronin, this is Officer Vassily -static- from —static—, i’m sorry to inform you that we had to retreat from our position ’cause of an heavy surprise attack of the Nomads.

I made this grave decision to contain our losses and regroup for a counter-attack that i assure we will do as soon as possible in —static— (note: new player here, i had a lot of fun in this battle and i have learned a lot from my opponent and friend but i still have to acquire some tactical awareness and since Ariadna doesn’t got a tag i need to have that skill myself).

I’m sorry to inform you that our brave veteran Sergej Pavlicenko had fallen to cover our retreat with a massive suppressive fire against an intruder (note: 5 orders and both without a scratch lol), at last, a tsyklon showed up and Sergej was deadly wounded.

It’s my duty to inform you, even if it’s not necessary ’cause it’s always the same story, that our comrade Pavel –static– is, as usual, badly injured after a furious lonely assault on the frontline, we managed to recover him while retreating.

We retreat but not without glory, our tankhunters squad managed to show some autocannon justice to a gecko that tried to sneak past our main defense line and also avenged our comrade Sergej by destroying that damned tsyklon.

I managed to save our traktors from enemies so they can rain missiles another day.(note: i completely forgot about speculative fire and so parked them behind a building no firing at all lol).

From –static– it’s all, Officer Vassily -static- out

OFF-AIR:

Rita: Hey guys, what’s with that report? I did a whole show about a retreat? Is there anyone that read news before going on air? You said that you sneaked a good news from Cossack High Command communications…

Assistant with worried voice: Ma’am, Colonel Voronin on comlink…he is saying something about you and his hungry dog…

Rita: Damn…
