Server Victory

[Mopster]

Hi,

I heard Antigua got their first server victory? I was hoping to find some people to place the event on the wiki so all may know.

Here's the link : http://www.potbswiki.com/wiki/Antigua_Server_Victory_1

I don't know how to use Wiki, but this may help:

Oh, and here is the same shot, only with the details on the narrow French loss:

If you're chronicling this on Wiki sounds like you're creating history/timeline and such for the server? That'd be interesting to see, and help future players catch up on the gist of the political tention perhaps. Would need many ppl with editing access to contribute their PoV, though.

And we were so close to victory too, until the Spanish snatched it away from us!

-edit- Also since the redirect doesn't seem to work for everybody, you might want to note that the URL starts with potbs.wikia.com

Shame none of those two graphics have the official declaration of victory where the Gold Cup is placed by the Nation of Spain's name.

Ah yes! It wouldv'e been a glorious victory, the French was only one port battle away from ruling the Carribean! Until the sniveling schemeing spaniard scumbags unleashed their treacherous propaganda and corrupted our key officers in each PB bribes with the wealth they obtained by questioanble sources, perhaps an inside deal with the unscrupulous pirates. We thwarted their nefarious plans time and time again until the foolish English collapsed from within, leaving an opening for the villanous Spaniards to regain their strength at the most key moment. Our men fought brave and hard, and each of our men took 20 of theirs! but we were eventually overrun by their sheer numbers...

Well for historical record as it were, why don't we all put out what we can recall of the time line and people can chip in bits they recall.

To get the ball rolling I know the first conquest was Spanish attacking St. Johns and it happened on opening night of public release. The port battle was the next night and Spain won. I think the next events were Spanish Attacking British at Charlestown and British attacking Spain at Port of Spain. Both port battles resulted in the Defending side winning. So summary is

Spanish attack British at St. Johns - Victor Spain
British Attack Spanish at Port of Spain - Victor Spain
Spanish Attack British at Charlestown - Victor British

Anyone able to add to it from there? I obviously recall more events then just those but they are the earliest and I am priming the pump I know I cannot recall a lot of details such as when the Pirates attacked the french and other such events.

The first pirate attack was the offensive against Port-de-Paix, I believe.

The second was against Irish Point maybe two days later... and then Port-de-Paix again once it reverted.

For French losses, was it VF (B?), PdP (P), Rosseau (B), IP (S), and Orleans (B?) next?
