  On the northern front a large dogfight took place involving Mig 21s from New Guernsey and recently deployed F100s from Masabé against Lansens from Duloc and Mirage IIIs from Zevonia. In a swirling dog fight both the Mig 21s were shot down as well as one of the F100s, in exchange for a Lansen and a Mirage. It certainly looks as though the war is ramping up again with the short lived cease firing doing little more than allowing all parties to rearm, gather allies and then to resume fighting with as much violence as previously.      

The Destroyers DD 16 and DD19 from Masabé were caught off the coast of New Guernsey by a strong air contingent from Zevonia, supported by a detached flight of Dulocian Lansens. Though the two destroyers were escorted by a pair of F100s from Masabé and two NG Hunters the attacking air craft swept the CAP aside. Zevonian Skyraiders waded through heavy but inaccurate flak to attack with rockets. These attempts missed but as the fighter defence had been swept aside the Zevonian and Dulocain aircraft strafed DD 16 until it started to burn. Munitions were exploding and the destroyer was left dead in the water. Later it is believed to have been towed into Asquithville on the NG coast. The Masabé President has declared the attack on its navy as a virtual declaration of war and has vowed that his country will retaliate with all its might. Lieutenant Zeke Zwolo from Duloc score three kills in the swirling combat and his been recommended for his country’s highest award, the Golden Elephant Medal ...

  Khenefrian aircraft recently tried to strike at the bridge over the Limpoko River in Duloc. Border tensions have simmered between the two counties after Duloc attacked and killed bandits hiding across the border with Me-262 fighter bombers. This led to retaliation when Khenefrian F-100 attacked and destroyed a passenger train in Duloc killing over fifty civilians. Not satisfied with this the Khenefrians have tried again. As the Khenefrian air force failed to keep their four F-100s serviceable they turned to China for support. The CCP supplied J-7s and J6 fighters and fighter bombers and also supplied the technical support to keep the planes in the air. Indeed some of the pilots that took part in the raid may have been Chinese instructors.   Luckily for Duloc two Pihkálander Skyhawks were training with two Duloc flown Drakens in the area. These air craft intercepted the raid and The Lieutenant Golmoko from the KP air force shot down two enemy fighter bombers. The now ace Capt...

  Grey Water recently sent a strong air contingent to support Ahmmesia in its ongoing conflict with Kalemnitka. The Kalemnitkan air force has been very active lately flying a Badger aircraft over Zeebia to join its armed forces. Now it has also sent Fiat G.91 reconnaissance planes, escorted by MiG-21s to photograph Ahmnesian positions near the border.   Two F100s and two F5As from the Grey Water intercepted these planes and a dog fight ensued. During the action a Kalemnitkan MiG-21 was damaged as was a Fiat G.91. However in return a F-100 was crippled, forcing the pilot to eject. An F-5A was also damaged.   Eight missiles were fired and none hit a target. Six failed to work properly and two missed completely. The F-100s seemed to have difficulty with their gun sights constantly missing well flown Fiats, even at close range.   Grey Water pilots have complained about the change to the new machines, preferring their old Skyhawks, especially after the success of the Pihk...
