Following this, we've also agreed upon his replacement as XVIII Wing Commander...

Other news:

- EH Forums URL Update
Fleet Admiral Aiden Cantor Karias:
Due to problems with ehnet.org, I have moved the EH Forums. They are now located on my server at http://theholo.net/mb/. Please update your URL's accordingly.

- EH Poland Meeting III: 11-14 July 2003
AD Marcin Szydlowski:
Date has been confirmed. So I can officialy inform you now. Anyone willing to join us should email me first. Use my @go2.pl addy and confirm your presence. As soon as MBs will be back, I will post more details. :)

- Captivating Colloquia
AD Keldorn:
The Training Office (under the sponsorship of the Imperial University) is launching a series of IRC colloquia – individual ‘online conferences’ that serve to educate and discuss matters of importance to our role as members of the Emperor’s Hammer and the internet community. These events will take the form of a presentation from professionals followed by directed questions and open discussion. I am calling for proposals for these events to focus upon (such topics can span Star Wars canon to matters of real-life relevance; literature, popular culture, music – the possibilities are essentially endless). Any such ideas or comments should be sent to me at to@emperorshammer.org.

***** Relentless News *****
...which if true, could mean death for us all...in other news...
1) Cray and I are putting the finishing touches on a new, massive, comp that should be starting soon. So dust off your joysticks and get ready for some competition!
2) Standing Orders soon...it's been more of a challenge than I though preventing them from turning the Rel into "super rules land"...or whatever
3) Big congrats to, among other people, Captain Sarn Erec on his recent promotion
4) Also big congrats to LCM Dukimar on his PC, LCM Ramadon on his ISM and ISMs for MAJ Powerslave and LCM Rollins
That would be it for me
Thank you.

-Medals-

- LCM Dukimar was awarded a PC
- LCM Nom Ramadon was awarded an ISM
- LCM Dukimar was awarded an IS-BW for winning Sword Ace Comp Week 8 and an IS-BR for winning Sword Picture Comp #3



-Competitions-

- The competition vs. Hammer Squadron continues, fly XWA-Free 43 until 6/23 the latest!
So far only Duke and I flew the mission. I expect everybody to fly it, this is important!
Try to get a score as good as possible, fly on hard.
Here's the link: http://www.emperorshammer.net/competitions/details.asp?ID=617

- Sword Ace Comp Week 10 will begin soon, expect a mail with the mission assignment today.

- Here's are some BG-wide Comps, I just paste the Info from AD Krax newest BGCOM report:

We have a couple of BG-wide competitions coming soon that need to be announced. The first is a banner comp. Now that we have awards again for Pilot, Commander, Squadron, and Wing of the Month, we need something fancy to give out. Banners will be awarded for Squadron and Wing of the Month (which can be uploaded to the TC roster), so these will need to be designed. A nice, pretty Iron Star (Silver Ribbon) will be awarded to the winners of each comp, with the runner-up getting a IS-BR. Submissions should be sent to me in a zip file (ignore this provision at your peril…I delete unzipped submissions and don’t count them) before July 3. That gives you about three weeks, and will make sure that the banners can be awarded with the next ‘of the month’ awards.

And now a few details for you graphics types. These banners should be of the correct size for the TC database, and should also reflect the pride that goes with being named a Squadron or Wing of the Month. Make something that you’d be proud and honored to display on your roster page and home page. While the banner can look like a plaque, I’d like to see something more original. Those of you with an interest in history could look to the Romans for inspiration. Perhaps a graphic that looks like a banner that would be hung from the ceiling of a unit cantina or displayed with pride on the ready room wall. I’m looking for originality and something that sums up what it takes to be the best in an organization as strong and full of tradition as the BGs.

We will have awards for June, but due to the crashing of ehnet.org I’m still waiting on one set of MSEs. As soon as they reach my yahoo account I’ll make the final decisions.

Our second comp is something a little different. Attached to this report you’ll find a XWA Free Mission (XWA-F 1). You have until the end of this week (June 20) to fly this mission and send your .plt file to me. The file must be sent directly to me, and MUST be zipped. This isn’t a required event, and there will be no medals awarded. However, the participants will have a chance to take part in something that is new and unique to the BGs. The point of this is to do the best you can in a comp that’s not about medals. The winners will be announced and further details about this new program released in time.

----Miscellaneous----

This Week was way better than the last one. I know now that everybody in the Squadron is
alive, 3 people were flying, regarding that 3 of 6 people were on leave, this looks nice.
I want you to keep this up, keep in reporting, take part in the Comps, fly, do other
stuff. This will help the Squadron a lot and it will be even better when the other pilots
return from their leave, and be sure, it won't be unrewarded.
We're on the right way, lets move on :-)
