The ceasefire is an awful mechanic, but congrats to the Dragon on finally holding the line.

Kurita actually had 3 drop teams of our own on Kiesen as well with 4 to 8 wins recorded in the last half hour, so maybe we can just agree that we work really well together without even knowing it?

That would explain why one of our liasons encouraged us to switch to Kiesen per your request.

This does go to show, though, what we could do if we can shift all of our attentions to the Clan front. If you allow the southern nations to focus their efforts on defending your worlds, we can hold them secure for you while you go on the offensive against the Clans and begin retaking your worlds.

It's a priority for us, believe me. Any and all help our Kapteyn allies send our way is always appreciated, and we're working out what our best move is. Thank you for your help last night!

NS had four wins in the last hour on keisen, was fun times

we even took a stab at attacking csj. However despite quickly racking up 33% on the planet csj rapidly responded and got more groups on then we had, forcing us into a losing game of constantly defending counter attacks. When we get the numbers, the clans will tremble at our might

Correction:

Kurita lost the planet of Baldur to Smoke Jaguars last night.

The Kurita planet of Kiesen was held against Ghost Bear. HOWEVER, this was largely not due to Kuritan forces, it was due to the FWLM and our mercs throwing pretty much everything we could scrape together in the last hour and change before cease fire onto the Kuritan worlds. We dropped Baldur down from 100% to 80%, and Kiesen down to 20% from 93% (iirc, I was initially dropping on Baldur before shifting over to Kiesen because of the better odds of defending it as we closed in on cease fire).

My own company had a 4/2 W/L ratio combined against Smoke Jaguar and Ghost Bear, with a 2/1 W/L ratio on Defense, and a 2/1 W/L ratio on Counter-Attack. One of those offensive wins was with a cooperative Steiner PUG, and another was won with one player down after the first wave.


Congratulations to House Kurita on their successes last night, but please be mindful of what your successes actually were and what caused those successes, and please don't fall to the temptation of poor sportsmanship that others have fallen into, that will only serve to drive your allies and potential allies away from you.

We appreciate the help. The shift to Kiesen came after a series of 5-6 victories on the SJ world of Kilmarnock were undermined by ghost caps and being forced into defending against counterattacks (meaning we could no longer actually gain any ground) due to a massive player spike in the last two hours or so.



Rather than continue to fight a losing battle, a last-minute decision was made to shift attention to Kiesen, where an 80% capture rate was reduced to about 16% in about one hour. To clarify, it was Kurita's organized dropships that went undefeated - we believe one team that was unaccounted for was defeated by RRB on Glenmora before NKVA shifted attention there for our final match of the night.Thanks for your help on the clan front though.

Nothing can stop the Conquest of the Dragon. The Smoke Jaguar is coming for you freeborn.

Actually, am pretty sure that fix to ghost drop mechanic and ability to hold planet by winning every battle that actually fought will stop 'conquest' of furries.

[The Droid]

Soon the jaguar's numbers will dwindle, and the dragon can begin to drive them out.

When we made our big push, shoving CJF back to the periphery, there were two things at work: 1) we had Davion defending our worlds, so focused on offense; 2) we had all the mercs, so had numbers to attack at all times.

Coming for our turrets maybe. You can have them. We'll win the matches that are populated.

[GrizzlyViking]

One night and one planet defended. This is only a starting point. There is much much more work to do. Both planets could have been defended successfully last night had we been a little more coordinated. Keep fighting relentlessly! Kurita is capable of much greater things! Push on Kurita!!!

That was a fantastic job on Kiesen last night. We pulled off attacking Kilmarnock when Kiesen was at 83%, with a little over an hour left till ceasefire. After our last match, it was down to 13%. Props to all who were involved, including our Marik allies. It's encouraging to know we have enough good units dropping to have that kind of impact on a planet.

The jags are losing their merc units, all is as the coordinator has foreseen. Soon the great counter offensive.

Which merc units do you refer to? There are 2 that have mainly contributed, and one just extended while I am unsure of the other. (*was unfortunate we had a number of units like KFC who joined our ranks for increased bonus, only to drive our numbers up and not fight CW.)

But good job on your success in whichever focused battles you had yest. We really do look forward to more organized battles on your front.

id like to claifie.
undefeated meant that non of the kurita units(the 3-4 12mans on ts) lost a single match at any front in the whole us tz attackphase . not in our attack and defense at the davion border, not in our 1,5h attack agaist CSJ and not in our defense against cgb on kiesen.
we did loose a planet to the jaguars but we did not fight there at all.
"he who want to defend everything will lose everything"

the jags attack planet was at 90 already and we did not know if the remaining 55 minutes would be enough, kiesen was at 73 when we decided to switch and if i remember right we racked up 7 wins there.
i was actualy suprised when it reached 13% in ceasefire as i did not know of the marik reinforcements.
thy verry much to our allies 0>

[Spheroid]

We took back Baldur
