Tornado: Tour of Supremacy - The Return!Next Target - Colossus Squadron League (Sixth Round Results)
Start Date - NOW!!!!
WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*poses*
Thats right Ladies, Gentlemen and Hev, we have won once again, ive never felt so proud of my Tornadoites. They only had one submission and that was simply destroyed. Not that we should get to excited just yet but after this week off we go up against Pi, which is the only squadron that has managed to beat us demigods in the CSL so far.
Ive prob said this a few times, but if we want to make it to the finals, and show several squads that Tornado is the best, and we are to be feared and its also a good way to prove to those up-themselves Elite Squadrons that we are Elite Staus and that we can give them a good thumping, then we have to win the next match and get into the finals (and win them of course).
Ive been following the other Squads a little and it seems if we do manage to make it through to the Grand Final it will be against one of two squads, Inferno (and i know Seph is reading this). Inferno though i love to say they arnt a challenge all the time, it pains me to say they are, espically with DarkEagle and Narc who seem to be great at getting high scores.
The other squad we may face is Yod, Tornado has beaten them in the past, so i am not too worried but the do seem to cut it close in several comps and one of Yod's pilots is actully the top rated pilot in the list in the CSL (and im second :D).
So they wont be a push over. But as always, now espically that we have ten pilots, im proud of you all, and i have the upmost faith in you all.
Lets show the entire EH that Tornado is once again a squad to fear, and that even though we are not an offical Elite Squadron, we can still give it just as good. CSL Website is here: http://www.isdcolossus.com/wc/csl/CSL2/
All match infomation, pilot stats and such is availble there.

We have a few pilots on leave, Cyrus, Rast and Sint are all on leave.
If you havnt already please welcome LT Servius Maximus, MAJ Hev Randrowan, CPT Crix Madine & LT Haztix Vel to our humble (or not so humble) abode. Go buy them a few drinks in the cantina now that its been repaired. Flech has also been AWOL'd.
Webpage Comp
Here it is, you have as much time as needed (though i dont want u taking forever) to find the changes i made on the Tornado Website.
There are 20 changes in all, several occur on the same page, and if they arnt all gotten by the end of the week ill say a few hints, until someone does.
(The News is not counted as a change so dont say thats one)
Winner gets an IS-BR.
X arrvies!
X has arrived in Tornado, after speaking with several people, its been decided that only my FL's and up will get op's. This is mainly to keep some control on the channel.
So my FL's to get your op's access find me or Rast in #tornado and either one of us will set them up.
#Tornado rules might be found somewhere on the Tornado site, oops i think i just gave something away ;).
They will be followed as all CoC's and AoW's are of course.

~Wing/BG News~
~Wing Comp~
This is for the Challenge Allstars Squadron (formerly known as the Honour Guard).
Essentially, Mai wants a nice XWA squadron to be able to take on squadrons in other X-Wing Alliance Ships.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, and want to be part of the Allstars, is to fly Free XWA 61, and send it to me (cc your FL) for processing by 4th August 2002.
Highest score wins an IS-SW, and second highest score wins an IS-BW. The top six scores will gain entry into the Allstars Squadron.
The current high score on the mission is held by MAJ Mark Schueler of the ISD Colossus, at 30,619. Extra Wing Commander cookies will be handed out to whoever beats that score!
Mai is also giving a kiss to the highest scorer (she said so on IRC) so if any of u beat me ill pound you all into sticky goo!!!!!! :P
~Ship Comp
Supposed Non-Flying ship comp starting soon named “History of the Battlegroups”. Its going to apparently start on Aug 1, so get those graphic skills, and other non-flying skills sharped.
