Our mission was to continue the Union's offensive against the Vesper Militia by seizing the Vesper Customs building. Word had reached us that the bridges were barricaded so Chancellor Cocidius lead us to the docks where we boarded a vessel for a seaborne assault.

The Militia however decided to sally out to meet us on the big blue and fierce ship to ship fighting ensued. The Union forces with the Company at the fore defeated the two Militia vessels with expert "gunnery" from Commander Morana and former Covian Marine trainee Perrin.

Although Company forces swung the naval engagement and early skirmishes, the Vesper Militia clung on to win the day.

Having secured a beach-head on the island Union forces then stormed the Customs building. It was clearly evident that the Vesperians had put the week's ceasefire to good use, bolstering their ranks with shieldfighters and archers to compliment their many mages. However even though they were outnumbered The Company and Union allies stormed and secured the building.

Vesper's Militia's counterattack was fierce. A close battle that swung one way and then the next finally went in their favour, with their reinforcements carrying the fight. With daylight fading the Union led a desperate counterattack but the greater Militia force would not be denied this day and they clung on to secure the island as night fell and the opposing forces disengaged.

* looks at the note written above *

Eh..

* A scribbled note is written below *

The winning team, also known as the 'Ravens' was not complete this eve', constituting of only two of its three core members, resulting in a direct denial of victory for our warriors.

We need to practice assaulting buildings, it was a slaughter.

We captured the bloody building once... And without the bloody Keres, Ravens or whoever.

Stirling splitting our forces weakened the Union's defence of the Customs building. A mistake that the Vesperian Militia nay repeated when we made our counter attack.

Best they enjoy their victory and endulge their smugness while they can.

Aye, I felt it was a insult when Cocidus said Stirling was more experienced. He may have had a band of archers a LONG time ago, but war has changed. He's just a tradesman, The fact he overlooked a COMMANDER of a Mercenary Force, and of a once Grand army, who is still in service is complete loss to me.

*Keres snorts, reading the comments, and devises a joke*

"Seemed loik 'ah complete loss to me, too.
