“Gentlemen, We are in business. I AWOL'd LT Judah Jabal as you know, but I am in the process of finding a worthy replacement. Also we have a lot of comeptitions coming up or that are already started, so listen up. Today was the last day for XWA FCHG 1 to turn in, Friday is the first day for FCHG 2 and runs until the first of November. Also we were challenged to a squadron competition by the Grey Wolf, so let's beat the mutts. Vallyn also released a new simulator battle so fly that, and our Major Leeson has release a competition for a new squadron logo. And let's remember that Insanity is going on with a tight race between LCM's Glorick and Qarni. That ends next month on the fourth. So we are going to be active so don't let me down, Competition details will follow in the report, COL Neo will also update the war room site to include them all i hope. Thanks.”

New TCS/TCT sought for XWA
05:29 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org
With the change in command concerning the XWA part of the Tactical Staff, there is currently a lack of playtesters (TCS) and correctors (TCT) for XWA. Therefore, the Tactical Office is looking for additional Tactical Surveyors (TCS, playtesters) and Tacticians (TCT, correctors) for the XWA platform. Please review the Tactical Manual
have XWA
be able to playtest a battle within a week and to write a beta report (templates in the Tactical Manual)
knowledge in XWA mission design and graduation from XAM not necessary but recommended.
And for Tacticians (TCT):
have XWA be able to bring corrections to a battle within 1,2 weeks, from the problems noticed by the TCS in their beta reports (guidelines in the Tactical Manual)
knowledge in XWA mission design
must have passed XAM from IWATS
Please review the Tactical Manual

EH vs. NRN Results
18:48 - RA Brucmack [bjmacken@engmail.uwaterloo.ca
In my first act as COO I've submitted the results for the EH vs. NRN war held last month. All in all I feel it was a fairly good contest, though we could have used a larger number of pilots flying. Here's a breakdown of the results:
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter
EH: 2
NRN: 0
War Site
X-Wing Alliance
EH: 34
NRN: 29
War Site
As you can see, we got the victory by a fair margin in the area of matches won. However, the NRN put forward 9 more pilots than we did, and won in the areas of player win/loss ratio and kill/death ratio. This basically means that our wins were closer than our losses, and we lost many more 2v2s than we won.
Thanks to all the pilots who flew, your awards are in the mail!
Combat Operations Officer appointed
12:45 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com
The new Combat Operations Officer has been selected: Many congratulations to Rear Admiral Brucmack

Battles to fly: go to http://vanguard.phpcoding.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=PBT&file=index&func=show --- this is the online version of our battle board, look at the number needed column to see what battles need to be flown.
I would like every pilot to either compete in one MP event or one single player battle per week to get citations for the squad, this is to get to our goal of 50 by December 1st(this is 20 away not that hard, also when we get there i was promised PC's by our WC, Maj Leeson). So my Knights of the Phalanx Order go out and kick some Furry butt for the VAN.
done by: Lord Knight Ekim Yellek, Lord of the Grand Order of the Phalanx
Commander’s Goals
- For every pilot to fly XWA battles 1-10, the basics first i think, then XWA IW missions and XWA FCHG 1
- Every pilot to compete in one multi-player competition per week
- For every pilot to post one message on the squad, wing, BG, TIE Corps message boards
- For every pilot to recruit at least one new pilot, to the VAN
- For every pilot to attain the rank of Cavalier or 150 FCHG points
- For every pilot to compete in competitions, even if you don’t do well compete
