Hey Hey! Time for another Athena Squadron Report! Sorry this one's a little late, yesterday was a little rough and I didn't get around to writing it. Anyway, there's a bit of news to cover, so let's do it!
SQUADRON NEWS
Big news is that the Athena Squadron Tactics competition is over. I had a VERY hard time choosing which entry to give the award to. Both submissions I recieved were very well thought out and I must say slightly different than I would have done things. Way to go! Unfortunately, I can only award the IS-BR to one pilot. Congratulations go to LCM Valic! Your IS-BR will be on it's way as soon as I'm done writing this report.
Hmm, I'll have to think of another fiction comp to run. I enjoyed that.
WING NEWS

MISCELLANEOUS
Ah, I love this time of year. School's almost done, the weather's warming up, I have a little bit of money to spend on computer upgrades. I really, really, hate waiting for the upgrades to come though. I ordered a P4 3.0 Ghz processor, a Giga-Byte motherboard, 1GB RAM, 250GB hard drive and a DVD burner from Newegg.com on Monday night. I don't know if they're waiting for my check or if they're just slow in processing the order, but I'm starting to get impatient. I want this stuff now! I can't wait to see FarCry and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory running smoothly and in hi-res! Also, hopefully, this upgrade will let me play Empire at War decently when it comes out this fall.
I think that about covers things for this week.
Thanks,
Colonel Josh Popelka
