My dear family,
The loss still stings as I write. From the veteran core who have been thru it all to the fresh fish who came on late we are a tight knit band of brothers. We now return to the 419 to clean our barracks out & be discharged from active duty.

My dear family,
Desperate times call for desperate measures. With hopes of sparking a rally I fired a howitzer past the Growler’s defense. Alas our comeback would fall short tonight. With that the Newfies captured the Kelly Cup & ended our second season.

My dear family,
In haste I write before we march onward to Newfoundland. Thanks to the gutsy Lt Jenks & the ever steady Sgt Nagle we were triumphant. My ears still ring from the thunderous ovation the Citizens of the 419 gave us as the Growlers retreated.

My dear family,
With regret I write that we have fallen to Newfoundland putting us in must win territory. Tomorrow affords us a new day to seek redemption. To extend this series we must first ice our wounds, sharpen our blades & ready our shooting twigs.

Dear Citizens of the 419,
You rose to the occasion the day before yesterday, but I ask of you to do it once more. Ready thy cowbell & make some noise!

My dear family,
Spirits are high after defending our fort. The Growlers struck first but we continued to fire at will. Finally Pvt Gallant capitalized to pull even & soon after Pvt Wolfe would break the deadlock. Lt Berschbach sent the Newfies retreating.

Dear Citizens of the 419,
Tonight is our most important battle yet of this second season. It is time for you to ready thy cowbell & make some noise!

My dear family,
I put ink to paper after one more loss to the Growlers. Thanks to Sgt Nagle our unit stood tall after finding ourselves outnumbered but our foe would fire the final blow. A return to the friendly confines of Fort Huntington is much needed.

My dear family,
I write after falling to the Growlers. We were down but not out thanks to the resiliency of Pvt Crane, Lt Berschbach & Pvt Wolfe. In spite of that the Newfies ultimately prevailed. We shall regroup, sharpen our blades & seek redemption.

My dear family,
Our second season continues on after drilling the Oilers & seizing the Western Conference title. We march onward a jubilant bunch with the Bruce Taylor Trophy in tow but eye an even greater prize. Now only Newfoundland stands in our way.

My dear family,
I am dejected to write that Tulsa has forced a decisive seventh battle. They took the early advantage but after a spirited pep talk from Col Watson we would storm right back. We continued the bombardment but they would fire the fatal blow.

My dear family,
Tonight’s victory has put Tulsa on the brink of surrender. Needing to regain control Lt Berschbach & Lt Jenks would rise to the occasion & snipe a pair of ginos. We held off their late barrage thanks to the barricade set up by Sgt Nagle.

My dear family,
With regret I write after falling to Tulsa. Thanks to the ever steady Sgt Nagle the battle lingered long into the night as he steered aside their attack. But with just one shot Tulsa evened the series. We shall return seeking redemption.

My dear family,
Sadly our men have been bested by the Oilers. I found myself in isolation after I lost my footing & fired an errant shot off. Alas Tulsa would capitalize while we were outnumbered. Pvt Sadowy sparked a rally but they ultimately prevailed.

My dear family,
I write after our latest triumph over Tulsa. A pivotal moment in battle occurred when Pvt Crane intercepted the Oilers advance & quickly returned fire on their defense. The shot would win us the battle & get that pesky monkey off his back.

My dear family,
I write after vanquishing the Oilers. With a flick of my shooting twig we would strike first but they quickly retaliated. Lead by Pvt Hamilton we would unleash a barrage of firepower that would send Tulsa’s last line of defense retreating.

My dear family,
Our beards grow longer as we await our next battle. Scouts have informed us the Oilers have made the 880 mile march to Fort Huntington. Col Watson, Lt Col Delmore & Major Hirschfeld have us prepared to take down their powerful front line.

My dear family,
After a few handshakes the Cyclones have surrendered & our second season continues on. Our unit was out numbered several occasions but we rose to the challenge. We responded with two quick strikes & Sgt Nagle stood tall to secure victory.

[Corporal Tansey @CplTansey]

My dear family,
We owe a debt of gratitude to Pvt Nagle & Pvt Hamilton after defending Fort Huntington. Our victory has put the Cyclones on notice that their second season will soon come to an end. We now march through the night towards enemy territory.
