Real life comes first though!

Defence Of Panama Part 2

friznit — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 11:18:33 +0000

Danes captured Talamanca and Calobelo. Today we need to make a proper effort kick them from Old Prov and then recapture our home ports.

Kick off is at 2pm Server Time (3pm UK Time) in deep water ships. Be prepared with good shallow water ships at Concepion for the second half.

We have a lot of help from the rest of Brit nation today. A good turnout is essential!

The Final Push

telfer — Fri, 01 Apr 2016 17:28:15 +0000

Evening SINK,

We have the French on the ropes now, even though they have buddied up with the dirty Spaniards.

They are all tied up in the NorthWest of Yucatan operating from Corrientes and Tumbado, and they are flipping the ports of Mugeres and Conttoy between each other.

So for those interested in staying involved in the PvP and helping us crush the French, we need to get involved up there tonight and possibly over the weekend to squeeze them out.

I won't lie, the numbers they have are overwhelming, but the majority of GB is involved in this and we will be attempting port captures again tonight.

For tonight, please form up either in Bensalem or Tumbado between 2000-2100 GMT. The timers open at 2100 GMT and we want to be ready to either screen or get involved in these PB's.

The screening fleet battles in OW have been full 25 vs 25 battles lasting over an hour so for those wanting ranked up, here is your best chance!

Up to you guys what you want to sail, id advise your best ships, and remember its only pixels. I will be leading the charge in my prize Bellona.

Any questions just give me a poke on TS and i can advise.

Lets crush them and have a fun night

Panama is Safe!

Morning SINK,

So we have done a brilliant job over the weekend pushing the French out of Panama.

I will no longer be planning major offensives to attack them now but i would advise people to move back to Concepcion so that we can set up our Production and resource facilities back in this area.

This will help our shipwrights and allow us to get back on track with our economy.

Please keep note that we may be asked to support the guys in the Northwest Yucatan area so please keep an outpost in Bonacca so that we can assist the AUSEZ, BRITS, and RGL.

Any questions just ask

Again guys good works and well done sticking with it over the weekend :)

Lets keep Panama safe.

Operation Broken Baguette Phase 3

telfer — Sun, 27 Mar 2016 10:57:18 +0000

Morning SINK,

We have a busy day ahead of ourselves in the French offensive.
So here are our plans for today. Its simple as hell.

***PLEASE NOTE*** GMT is now daylight savings so server time is running as UTC.

1000-1600 UTC
Patrol the waters between Concepcion and Portobello
We are trying to secure this area and any throwaway light combat ships you have can be used to help secure these waters to allow the 1st - 3rd Rate fleets to move safely into position. Also we can act at QRF for any attacks moving on the Eastern Coast of Honduras

1200-1400 UTC
*Possible* Assault on Chagres all dependant on numbers online and mutual support.
I will be on TS and will keep people updated for this. So please stay in the Concepcion area.

1600-1800 UTC
Move to Concepcion and form up. The fleet will be split along with RGL and BWITC support into a shallow water and deep water port battle Fleet.

1800-2000 UTC
Move to and Assault Talamanca (Shallow)
Flag purchases will be done from Almirante.

2000-2200 UTC
Move to and Assault Calobelo (Shallow) and Portobello (Deep).
Flag Purchases will be done from ports as mentioned above.

In the meantime RGL will launch a further assault onto New Edinburgh, Buena Vista and Dariena whilst BRITS, SLRN, AUSEZ and others will move from Northern Honduras to support these offensives or Portobello!

2200-0600 UTC
React to any further French offensives in the region.

There should be no questions here as to where you should be located. Any queries just ask as usual. But it is a simple and effective plan today. Everyone at any rank can get involved so get out of mission mode and get into killing mode!

French Offensives - This Weekend!!!

telfer — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 13:54:02 +0000

Afternoon SINK,

Just to keep you all updated!

We have had a week of ganking and hostilites from French and Spanish as we try to operate our business out of Bonacca.

Therefore last night we decided with the help of GB to launch some counter offensives whilst the French have been caught with their pants down to the east.

Please be prepared from 1600 GMT today onwards over the weekend to get involved in some major counter offensives against the French so that we can push them back and re-claim our homelands in Panama.

Again we will have the full support of GB on these offensives and full first and second rate fleets from SLRN should be coming inbound to support or even lead the offensive assault at Gracias a Dios.

So please please please get involved over this weekend if you are online guys. We will all get good XP whether in screens or in Port battles (hopefully contested) and also we get the pride of pushing back the French.

Numbers are key here guys. Anyone online in SINK should be involved in this!
Be There or be a loner ;)

New Base of Operations for SINK - Panama is gone!!!

telfer — Sat, 19 Mar 2016 05:20:21 +0000

Morning SINK,

So there is some bad news. After the recent offensive against the French, and the defeats we faced on Thursday night in the port battles of Playon and New Edinburgh, we are moving out of Panama to set up a new base of operations.
NOTE: This is not what we as SINK wanted, but the British clans are in a full out war in and around Jamaica and will not be able to provide support to us in Panama to hold back the French, therefore the move is the best action we can take at this point in time

Be warned that as it stands Panama, and primarily Concepcion is a very hostile zone with French and Spanish players looking to get the gank on us as we move our resources and fighting ships.

Our new Base of Operations is Bonacca, which is located in the Honduras area, Southwest of PR and Northwest of Great Corn.

Please Liase with any officer online to get advice on movements from Concepcion, and only attempt to move as a fleet during non peak times so that we have mutual support and do not take unnecessary losses.

Once we get you set up in Bonacca with an outpost we can capture traders (away from hostile ports) in the Panama area to TP the ships up to Bonacca or PR for fighting ships also. Try to only tag traders away from enemy contested ports or free ports as enemy have been invisible outside Concepcion watching for players to tag AI.

If you do stay in Panama it is at your own risk but we imagine with the recent offensives against the Danes and Pirates that we will not be returning to beat back the French for a while.

SINK as a clan will now be based out of Bonacca!

Good luck and Safe Travels!
