Hey, leader of BME here. I would just like to point out that I am also a pirate, and might end up in the parlament as a representative for the pirate party. So it's pirate vs pirate
As for us starting the war, this is not right, it was a PA1N member who attacked us with 9 squads of pure range. If he were moving units or not does not chance the fact that he attacked one of our gates.
With this we marked them red and started moving east to meet them. We had a good expansion yesterday, took a fair bit of outposts from them.
Then we spread out too much trying to take their higher and lower outposts at the same time, splitting our armies in two. And while 40 of our squads were taking out one of their members, they locked down another member, and we didn't have enough units close to him to save him. This proves very well that I'm out of practise when it comes to war, but also that PAIN is as good as I hoped they would be.
