Coyle Shipping Co. February MRCA Escorted Trade runs

[Puvel]

Oh can I reserve the last spot in 3B? My ship should be finished some time this weekend

[Bregir]

As the two speed 3 runs are already full, are we going to open up another one? As far as I remember, we have more than three warships now, so it should be possible.

Or are we possible going to put two escorts on run 3A or 3b, and thus include two (or more) full flotillas of merchantmen?

I am asking as I am leaning towards registering the Otter as a 3f and sending her trading or on a bounty mission.

[Mike S]

I would suggest adding more flotillas. I will update the first post now.

[Ayrlego]

Based on my shaky understanding, I'd like to register the Saucy Gibbon for route 2A (I believe this is the only route suitable for her based on the fact she only has a speed of 2?). Thanks!

[Brickwolf]

I would sign up the Eliza (1T) for a medium risk route, if that is possible.

[BrickOn]

Scrap that...

With a speed of 1, she should be able to join the "Quick Wing", as any vessel can visit at least two ports. But I don't know if there are any disadvantages of bringing a speed one vessel along.

Unfortunately speed 1 ships cannot travel to more than one zone. Perhaps you can join up with Tomsche as I think he has a couple speed 1 ships.

Do you want the Jezebel to join the Merry Lyric convoy?

Are you quite sure about this, Mike? Class 0, class 1A and the barge class are all limited to one zone, but it says nothing of the sort for the rest.

And all ships can visit two ports, so I would think she could join the slow convoy.

Leadership, please advice.

You are right about the zone thing. My mistake. However speed 1 can only visit one port, speed 2 can visit 2 ports, speed 3 can visit 3 ports, etc. so if it does join a speed 2 convoy it will limit the other ships to a single port.

Also wrong :p the minimum is always 2 ports :)

edit: a class 0 can visit 2 ports within the same zone for example

Ok, I went back and reread the rules. It seams there is not much difference between the speed 1 and 2 ships other than the speed roll when running from pirates. I hadn't realized it but even one or two speed 2 ships can only travel within a single zone. So I will list the Eliza under the Quick Wing convoy.

[Puvel]

(Puvel’s ship) in Flotilla 2 of Route 3B can be updated to The Mercator.

[Brickwolf]

So I will list the Eliza under the Quick Wing convoy.

Thank you!

@Bregir and Maxim I: Thank you very much for solving this!!

Yes please. Apologies I was getting mixed up with different channels of communication etc.

I see convoys marked as Full.

Does it mean that they have been registered by the convoy form ?

So can we register our MRCA form if we are part of one of those convoys ?

They will not be registered until escorts and flotillas are confirmed. Reason for this mainly is in case an extra escort ship becomes available, I want to be able to still add it to the convoy. However as the convoys are already named, you can register your MRCA whenever you want.

Ah ok !

Thank you for the precision and for your answer. I will do the paperwork then :)

Kai has given her official okay for the merger of the 'Tweenleg Tail and the Quick Wing. The Dark Narwhal (Class 2 A) adds her guns to the venture, and it looks like the Eslandola Royal Fleet ship Dark Lightning (Class 5 A) is being offered as additional escort.

Captain Daffyd "Splattersquawk" Prows has prepared several "special shots" of kitchen refuse to fire upon any Oleon vessels the group may encounter.

Dearji the Windsong extends her most fervent blessings to all ships in accompaniment.
