TARTARUS SQUADRON
WING XIII of ISD GREY WOLF
WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT
NEWSLETTER NO.5
by LT DarkC (acting CMDR till june 2nd)
I'm proud of you guys. Tomaas was right this really seems to be a team.
Yet there still is a lot of work to do before we become a feared squadron.
So , let's get on with it:)
RECRUITMENT
As you all know, even tho Juan left us, the situation of our squadron improved, we are now 8 pilots and i wish to hope that we're the best ones:) Anyway, this must be proved and i'm sure i can count on you.
Lt Brian managed to convince his cousin to join TC and is now keeping an eye on him, so there are chances that he'll join our squadron after completing his training. I think this is a good idea and i suggest you try to do the same among your friends , colegues or relatives maybe you'll get lucky:)
It's true we are 8 great pilots, but we would still need a few good ones around.
// Yeah, I agree... hope this won't scratch down our citations ;)
NEWS
1. CMDR Tomaas Banys is on leave till june 2nd so you'll have to bear me as your acting CMDR till he's back:) And let me tell u something...it's sometimes difficult to obey a CMDR's order but trust me it's far more difficult to be a CMDR..lol
2. Commodore back in the loop! - Rear Admiral Khadgar is back from his leave.Yet due to his movement he probably won't be online next week.
3. Maybe the most important news is that we've managed to get 6 more citations this week!!! All thanks to your dedication...keep them comming!:)
FICTION
I'm still waitting for the 3rd chapter of the fiction we started last week "The Altorian Defeat". Vulcan is still working on it.
If anyone of you has any interesting idea just write it down,and then maybe the others will help...lol..u saw what happened with the story i wrote:)
// Well, I think it's a good idea... I think we might manage to publish some of these fictions somewhere later. This might be a chance to improve the flow of recruits both to the squadron, and to the TIE Corps.
MEDALS
No medals this week,as Tom is gone and i'm not entitled to award any, but those of you who have proven themselves will be definetly recomended to Tom and Azazel,so when Tom will be back we'll surely see some medals:)...but only if you keep on flying
// We shall see about that, but generally speaking, she's right. I WILL award medals for top performance. However, it's more than just a single show: prove over and over, and you'll have those shiny little things on your uniform in no time.
PROMOTIONS
SL Jatz Crakker was promoted to LT. Congratulations Jatz! Good work,by the way i want to mention that he even helped us get a citation:) Keep up the good work!
// Congrats. I think that you'll continue the good work. I count on you, Jatz.
MP FLYING
Hmm.I know this is a bit more difficult but please try to fly a bit.For those of you who have good net connections , mp flying might be difficult but may also mean a lot of fun.As far as i know, last week only a few pilots showed up , there wasn't too much activity, so i think it would have been a good oportunity to show your skills, but anyway...maybe next week:) COL Woobee has already scheduled some mp training sesions for LT Jatz Crakker...good idea:)
// Yeah. That's the spirit, colonel! If I only had the chance, I'd take the entire squadron for some "red flag" type exercises. And as for the situation, please keep on trying.

COMPETITIONS
EH Ladder (SEASON II) (REPOSTED FROM LAST WSR)
Ladder is on! Brian has already flown there. It's on till the 4th of july (remember the significance of this day?) and it pays off even more. XWA, XvT, JK...I want everybody to try at least two matches there. Details:
http://www.imperialacademy.org/ladder/join.asp
EH Graphics Competition (REPOSTED FROM LAST WSR)
Ends by 06/20/2001.A banner for EH and the RECON Office is needed. It has to be 400 x 40 pixels.
http://www.angelfire.com/pa4/RECONmanual/banners.html is the URL to check. They offer some IS-class stuff. AD Keiran Idanian (KeiranIdanian@aol.com) is the guy to ask.
Tomaas's uniform competition (REPOSTED FROM LAST WSR)
Simple and sweet, Tomaas needs a new, good uniform. If he'll find the uniform nice and confortable, the author will get an ISM. If not....well,there is always another try,isn't it? In general, he'd like it to be fully official and to bear apropriate markings, no crapy-looks.
// I expected somebody to even try... but, oh darn, I think I'll make my uniform by myself. Shame on you! ;)
Graphics and fiction competition (REPOSTED FROM LAST WSR)
Similar one. We really need some material for the webpage so we could outshine our mates from other squadrons. Have a look at the Crusader webpage Tomaas previously did (http://wolfmaster.4t.com) and think if you might get me something that would suit us now? ISM for most creative people. The same applies to the fiction writters. If it's good enough, ISM is yours.
// Heh. I'm serious about that.
Best Tartarus pilot competition
Hey don't forget about this one ...i suggested we have a competition to see which one of you is the best pilot while Tom is gone:) Untill now Woobee is definetly the leader but you still have one week to go so anyone who really wishes has a chance to win this.I'm sure Tom will find the best way to reward the best of you:)
Anyway, number of missions flown will be taken into consideration...so free missions also count altho i'd prefer you fly as many battles as you can:)
// I'd love to see the statisitics. We will see if this will work out. I'm curious who will win?

SQUADRON ACTIVITY
This definetly was a good week. I've seen some high activity from about all of you so i don't think i'm mistaking if i say that our squad is back on the right track...but don't let this get to you...lol...we will have to keep up flying:)
Tartarus 1-1: CM Tomaas Banys :Is on leave untill june 2nd due to final exams and other personal matters.
I got an email from him and he was quite pleased with you guys:)
// I was? Yes, I was pleased. Good work. I'm mostly forcing those 30 little awful bastard kids to be quiet and to march through the mountains without eating the chips (oh, they're so filthy :D) but yes, during the long, cold and *wet* nights I study.
Tartarus 1-2 : LT Callousness : Nothing this week...again:(...I hope you solved your problems,but i wish you would at least answer my emails and let me know what's going on....as i said we don't wanna lose you,but if i don't hear from you soon you'll leave me no choice:(
// He has some exams. Let's give him some time. He got in touch with me approx 2 weeks ago and said that he's pretty okay right now.
Tartarus 1-3 : LT Brian : A weaker week, still he completed battles TC-XvT #6 &9 therefore helped us getting 2 more citations.But anyway,remember you were ace of the week last week so i am hoping to see more activity next week if you want to be rewarded:)
// Exactly.
Tartarus 2-1 : LT DarkC (that's me): Well...this was really a hard week for me but i must admit i enjoyed every moment of it:) Anyway,here's what i've done beside emailing u alot..hehe...i completed the Squadron Management 2 course and completed battles TC-TIE #28 & 133 and TC-XWA #1, 6 & 8.And i'm very tired...lol
// Good work. That is what I expect from my fligh leaders.
Tartarus 2-2 : LT Arcadius Calidus : Had alot of things to take care in RL but still managed to complete battles TC-XvT #6, DB-XVT #1 .Battle IW-XvT#23 needs to be procesed. Also keeps working on the 3rd chapter of "The Altorian Defeat"fiction...i hope we'll see it soon.Anyway a predy good week.By the way Vulcan,i'm sorry but there seems to be a problem with your email....i emailed you a few times these days but none of those reached you, both times i received a failure delivery, so that's why you didn't hear from me,once again i'm sorry.
// Hmm. Weird. I think I'll be assessing the situation asap.
Tartarus 3-1 : LCM Leslaw : Emailed me a few times and we talked on irc once.All i know is that he has some problems with his Tie Fighter,therefore couldn't fly any battles , but he's hoping to get a new Tie cd from Tom soon.Meanwhile try to find something to do...otherwise you'll get rusty:)
// Oh, he won't :)
Tartarus 3-2 : COL Woobee : Ace of the week! This is what i call great activity ....and dedication...lol.You seem to get back in shape colonel:) He completed battles TC-TIE # 8,9,10,11,15,16, & 133.Helped me get one of the first two Tie citations.:) Battle TC-TIE #17 needs to be procesed.
// And that's what I call being a professional.
Tartarus 3-3 : LT Jatz Crakker : A real good start,i'm pleased:).Got promoted to lieutenant.:). He completed battles TC-TIE #1 and TC-XvT #5,also free missions Free-XVT #18 & 36. Also TC-TIE #2 & 3 as well as Free -Tie #142 need to be processed.Helped us get the second TC-TIE citation.Good work Jatz!

COMMANDER'S OFFICE
As you will all see below, the number of citations hold by our squadron increased and i say that after seeing how good you all work we can keep on getting even more.
TC-XvT are no longer a priority..at least for the moment,but other XvT battles still are. So for those who have XvT i want you to concentrate on those.And start with IW.
For those who have Tie Fighter, fly as many TC-TIE's as possible,but please try and start with the beggining.
If anyone else beside Woobee and Les has XWA please let me know,and if you start flying TC-XWA's the rule is the same...start with the beggining please (1,2 and so on)
This is about all for now but i won't end this without saying again GREAT JOB! but KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!:)
Oh...and last but not least i have another two things to tell u...not so sure any of you will be much interested by them...but i take my chances...lol..first of all as you will see i gave u my phone number...i'm not sure any of you will be that anxious to talk to me, but in case anyone does,i'd love to hear you:)
And the second thing...it's in fact something i would like to ask you...if any of you thinks that he can aford sending me at least a copy of XvT i would really be gratefull:))
