January MRCA Escorted Trade runs

[Mike S]

I don't think that linked flotillas are allowed which means that there can only be 2 flotillas in an escort.... 1 with 3 ships and 1 with 2 ships. Lets discuss how we will arrange the flotillas and also the name of the escorts for the MRCA form.

[Mike S]

This is the last day MRCA forms can be filled out for January, I believe, so if you are joining one of the following convoys, please post in my January MRCA Escorted Trade runs

thread so that we make sure everyone gets added to the convoy (you will still have to fill out the MRCA form but this way you will know what other ships to add to your trade run):

Route A - The Risky Route (speed 3 ships only) - Escorted by Pandora, Mermaid

Black Marlin

The Sphinx

The Swift Packet

The Knight of Stedor

Saucy Jack

(full)

Route B - The less risky route (speed 3 ships only) - Escorted by Queen's Glory, Dark Lightning

Sulky Harlequin

Green Dragon

Stubborn Stern

(2 slots left?)

Route C - Somewhat risky route (speed 2 ships only)

HMS Alice

Flying Colt

(full)

Also be sure to communicate with those joining the same convoy as you to form flotillas within the escort to make your fleet even stronger! Also if Eslandola is sending any escorts along, please post their names as well.

One question guys regarding escort operations: Do we have to visit THE EXACT colonies (e.g. every colony in a zone) visited by our trade ships or just state one colony on the zone we are passing?

You will only state the colony that your tradeships will make a port call in. Some zones you may pass through and make no stops so you would not include a colony from those zones.

Wait a minute, Kabel is sailing under B?

Kabel, what about the plans already made earlier? Also, hasn't your vessel a max of 2 speed? (as the name states, coastal).

I think Maxim is correct about the speed rating which would disqualify it from the B run....

Aye, my mistake, so Maxim correct me please!
