My commisterations Irawn. I have nothing but utter faith you are
crying in a corner right now while you read this. The Bloodloch
armies that had been placed on watch in Ashtan have been decimated.

I (and I am sure the rest of our army) take it somewhat personally
that you would refer to their deaths as "nothing". There was
considerable loss on our part to destroy your troops. Let's look at
some facts. On an average mission, we kill you, 10 to 1. This is
common knowledge. I have been authorized to let you know we
essentially lost 43 lives in this action, which roughly translates
to a 10 to 2.8 kill ratio. 180% more deaths on our part than the
standard. I have also been given permission to (for the purpose of
opposing your argument) release the fact that last month, Ashtan
killed 110 enemy troops, and lost only 7 of its valiant warriors.

These facts prove, first of all, we suffered greater losses than if
we have used our more specialized forces. It also proves that losses
were greater than those generally incurred by forces of the Alliance.

Incase that wasn't enough, I would like to point out:
2004/03/14 21:58:11 - Vhaillor slew a horde of one fanatics that was
loyal to you. (This shows such missions are not solely made by Ashtan.)

During a Duiran movement against Ashtan, it has been reported that
180 fanatics were killed with Duiran sustaining a loss of only 19
troops. This clearly reflects lower losses than those experienced
by Ashtan forces earlier this month. Pertaining heavily to your
argument that we had "no losses".

As Alastra said in her post, not everything is as it seems. When
you have no fear, just about anything is possible, even defeating
enemies against outrageous odds. Like I mentioned after the forest
incident, you never know what we will pull next, it might be wise not
to underestimate our willingness to defend Ashtan. Even at the cost
of life on our part.
