Welcome to the week one program of events for Support Your Local Aerodrome!

Our story this week takes place directly after the Anglean attack on Yesha during the trade conference. Yesha is responding first and sending an advance force to strike back against Anglea. Anglea in turn is calling up all able bodied sailors to rise to meet the southern invaders.

Match 1:

-Anglean Raiders

-Merry Thralls vs The Juicy Gents

Rallying to the cry of the Yeshan people, the Merry Thralls are ordered to be the vanguard squadron leading the charge against Anglea. Their crossing is spotted by Anglean patrols and the Anglean Flying Corps quickly scramble their elite home defense squadron, The Juicy Gents, to protect the Anglean homeland. Can the Gents buy enough time for the other squadrons to scramble or will the Thralls succeed in gaining a foothold on Anglean soil...err, ice?

Match 2:

-Raid on Refinery

-Yesha VSS Squadron 1, "The Flamin' First" vs Crimson Rhino Ryders

During the battle over Anglea, an Anglean squadron has slipped past the frontlines and attempts a daring raid on Yeshan fuel supplies. The Crimson Rhino Ryders squadron leads this charge facing off against the defenders of the Yeshan war machine, Yesha VSS Squadron 1, otherwise known as “The Flamin First.” Will the Ryders be able to deal a massive blow to the Imperial war machine or will they be forced to withdraw under the might of the Yesha's famed VSS Squadron 1?

Match 3:

-Desert Scrap

-Merry Thralls vs Mercenary Forces

Recognizing a vital choke point which Anglea can use to put pressure on Yesha, the Angleans in desperation turn to Mercenaries from Firnfeld to mount a pincer attack behind enemy lines. The Merry Thralls, fresh from their battle over Anglea are quickly recalled to head off the Anglean mercenary forces. Will the Angleans win a decisive battle with the mercenaries and force Yesha to go on the defensive? Or will the wroth of the Thralls be able to put the Mercs in their place and secure Yesha's flank from the northern barbarians?

Bully Buddies and Scorekeepers will have lobbies preloaded and ready to go well in advance and passwords will be given out ahead of time too.

Tropo has been AFI (away from internet) for a while so any perceived trolling was accidental.  Tropo does autocomplete to Troll on my phone though :p
