Welcome to the newest Kappa Squadron report.


Squadron News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- We defeated Yod in the final round of the TSI and won the
competition. Good job guys! :)
We won some shiny IS-GW and a nice trophy (see attachment).
Word from Philo:
"Congratulations to Kappa! Quite an amazing performance on that
last mission. Tempest, tell Kappa their next round in the cantina is
on me."
Quite a mistake from him to say that. :)
Thanks go to Zekkie for running this fine comp. Let's hope there'll
be a second round, and let's also hope there'll be more
participating squads we can wipe the floor with. :P

- In the latest round of the SL, we placed 5th. Again, pretty well
done!
As you know, I promised to send some tips out for FT 229, but didn't
really find time to do it yet, sorry. I hope I can do it over the
weekend despite some uni stuff I have to do.

- In case you read wing and ship reports, you already know that I've
been working on a competition myself for a while that is likely to
start in June. You can already have a look at the rules at
http://tib.minos.net. Slight alterations are still possible though.

Squadron Orders
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- Fly FT 229 (attached) for the Sovereign League, Round 6. Deadline
is next Friday, 6th of June. Do your best!
As I've said in the news already, I'll send out some tips for it
soon.
