We're onto Kaifeng but public drop was horrid - have lost my mojo


After House Liao loyalist forces led by [TCAF] captured Bacun and Wrentham, attention shifted North once more to Kaifeng. However, due to some time zone changes I found no House Liao units available to drop so switched over to the public queue.

Man, it was horrid - I died ignominiously in all five drops. In one, I decided to wheel out my Atlas-S who was then promptly left behind and was destroyed by a lance of enemy mediums. I didn't even get a chance to hit anyone. I wanted to switch around and grabbed my Jagermech-DD, complete with x3 UAC/5s as I still love the Dakka.

Well, I managed to squeeze off a few shots but was destroyed by a rain of missiles as my other lance mates, all got themselves killed in increasingly silly ways. I can't be blameless, I should have stepped in and used the in-game voice to at least focus fire..

Another three more drops and yes, my MOJO had definitely left the building, if it was with me to begin with.

Oh well. I took that as a sign to retire for the night. However, Kaifeng tomorrow for sure. Gonta from [TCAF] has also made a proposal to help pave the way for House Liao to move northwards towards the Clan front and it looks like House Marik has now agreed.

Good times. On to Tsingtao now!

Captured Shaunavon and Bacun. Now onto Wrentham



There's been much discussion on whether House Liao should start to look Northwards and march towards the iconic planet that has the name of our beloved House: LIAO.

Currently, it is back under House Davion control after it was very recently snatched from them by a lightning raid by House Marik. Either way, no matter who owns it, Liao will be back amongst the Capellan Confederation.

Instead, the CCAF has been heading eastwards: we took Shaunavon and Bacun in rapid succession and now dropping on Wrentham. House Liao units have been mixed and effectiveness nonetheless. Apart from [TCAF] - I have never been in a near-homogenous strike team where every pilot has been with one unit. So, we had to make do. Smaller lances need more coordination and surprisingly, this has worked. House Liao has no egos - probably because it was battered out of by House Davion in the first horrid month of CW.

The boot is now on the other foot but for how long? With the rumoured map reset gaining strength - House Liao may lose all they have gained.

Who knows?

Regardless,  House Liao is taking House Davion scalps. Good times.

House Liao has been reclaimed from the Davions....by Marik?



Am in two minds about the liberation of planet Liao from the clutches of House Davion. House Marik attacked and took hold of planet Liao yesterday after a short firefight and now, the purple flag of the FWL flies over the capital city of our ancestral planet.

Meanwhile, our attacks are heading eastwards, we recently took the planet Ashley off the rats and now moving on towards Shaunanvon.
