Postship from The Caribbean Sea - Danish Fleet defeated on EU I

[Meraun]

A Postship from Gustvia arrived this morning, bringing exciting News from our swedish Colonies.

 

After we lost Fort Baai in a coward Danish Nightattack on Sunday night, another assault on Marigot was launched by a Danish Fleet and their Russian Merc's.

 

BUT this time, our great Fleet was prepared.  In several Battles in and around Marigot the danish fleet got defeated.

 

As far as we know now, several bigger Swedish Fleet-Groups (Clans) defended the Port of Marigot wihle many smaller Fleet-Groups and independent Captains attacked  Danish

Ships all around Fort Baai and Marigot.

 

According to our sources, every Engagement has been won by our glorious Fleet. We believe over a 100 Danish ships and escorts have been sunk.

 

The Fleets moral is high and the Man cry for War and to attack Fort Baai!

 

This War has just begun, but we will send the Danes Home or to the bottom of the Sea.

 

 

 

Our Source is a Captain from the WASP Fleet-Group wich has participated in 5 Engagement  with 4 Ships.

Well done to the Swedish. Good job. Have the Danes overstretched do you think?

Looks like someone dancing around corpse :3

As far as I'm aware (I was unable to participate), Denmark-Norway was attacked by the Spanish (Samana), the Brits (Higuey), the French, and the Swedes (Spanish Town and The Settlement) on the same evening. We only lost our western-most port (Samana), which was left undefended, to the Spanish. Then the Dano-Norwegian and Russian fleets counter-attacked at about ten/half past ten CET (which is hardly a night-attack), splitting up and assaulting Marigot and Fort Baai at the same time. We managed to capture Fort Baai, but were driven back from Marigot. It is true though, from what I've heard, that we were driven back with some loss, but considering the amount of battles fought on that evening, one loss and one gain can hardly be considered a bad effort.

I feel the Danes did a cracking job at defence, well done, clearly prepared & organised.

 

With regard to our attack on Higuey, we lost out to a 0.1 BR difference and couldn't catch your ships in the ring. We dont blame the tactic perhaps more the Brit player who jumped in undermanned and bringing 2 Lynxs. That costs us.

my RP is referring to Yesterday evening. The Attacks on Fort Baai and Marigot happend on Sunday evening, right?  (When i wasnt online)

[Niels Terkildsen]

Oh, there was another assault on Marigot? I'm unable to catch up with all these events, I must say things are going way too fast for my taste.

[Niels Terkildsen]

Oh, but the Russian attack on Rincón wasn't the same evening, was it? I have no knowledge of any friendship between Danes and Pirates; my notion is that the Pirates simply seized the opportunity.

We know of some... Gamover and crew pre wipe often sailed with, and sided with the RUS!

 

The Russian connection I think.

[Ligatorswe]

It was worse that that. The danes Were attacked by three nations that attacked 4 ports. And all that happened within 5 minutes. 5 minutes!!!

But we had good intelligence and watched the spanish and brittisk moves in the west and VIE sent a fleet of 15 ships to la Mona while RU and VIE and the other clans defended the East.

I was not able to enter the fight against the British som i sailed back and participated in some fights against the french (yes they were there too) and the assault against the danes.

I lost a Cerebus in Margot. :-(

That day was remarcable. So much action.

And we did defend danish territory quite well.

(And yes I am a swede sailing for the danish!! I am from Skåne. A proud "snapphane" traitor that sees the Royal Danish-Norwegian fleet as the one True fleet)
