1ST APRIL / / 2020 / / ISSUE NUMBER 10 THE GAZETTE ❄ NEWS FOR THE LAZY NAVAL ACTION PLAYER NAVAL ENSIGN OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE: THE CURRENT TOP DOG.

Not all of BF are leaving but the bulk of This shows the faces of Russians right now their leadership are meaning that New Orleans is likely to stay in Russian hands for the time being. The first step of this plan is to use HOG to capture the US ports that were surrendered by REDS. The new BFII clan has been created for this purpose, and will switch to China en-masse by next week. BFII will try to create a safe haven for new Chinese players (which currently owns zero ports) as it is unlikely to gain any in the foreseeable future without them. Most current Chinese players are alts from various nations. The reason why BF chose The Gazette to release the news is unknown. I can only hazard a guess that it is because a fair number of individuals read this fantastic publication.

Banned from the Russian TS NATO NEWS Dutch Realign GREGORY RAINSBOROUGH 17.03.2020 The departure of SNOW has had an immediate effect upon the foreign policy of the clans in the Dutch, by swinging it against NATO. The Dutch fleet at Buena Vista comprised of 14 ships, a mixture of 1st to 3rd rates, with the aid of the Danes destroyed the Swedish screening fleet comprised primarily of CABAL and PURG3. The Dutch have sensibly thrown their weight behind the decision to align with Russian with full force. They will be looking to prove their worth to the Russians and to earn their favour to move against the Prussians. The Prussians who so far have only attacked incredibly weak nations because that is all they are capable of fighting, are unlikely to want to antagonise Russia and extinguish the An astonishing amount of wealth was “liberated”.

Such rich pickings) Apologies for the delay in publication. I had taken some time out, but coronavirus caused my planned operation to get cancelled so here I am still! Unlike many nations where a clear hierarchy can be seen clearly the pirates have no such thing and upon SNOW’s entry into the nation there was not even a nation Discord in which to co-ordinate. This has now been rectified by one of the clans here. Many camps exist here and many clans as well. No one clan could with any authority say they speak for the nation. This has caused problems between NATO clans, non-NATO clans and Russian aligned clans as one tries to maksse deals to screw over the other. In short, it is very messy but thankfully, so far SNOW has been welcomed with open arms who have contributed in a small way to driving the Americans from the Southern Bahamas after many months. PAGE 4
