Tornado Squadron Report - Christmas and New Year 2000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Get Your Butts In Gear!
Alright you bums, as of tomorrow, the holiday's over so get your butts in gear. The Squadron League semi-finals are due to start any day now and we have our places booked in the Final, so I know you won't let the Wing down ;)

Hostilities Commence With Rebel Squadrons
Thanks to the work of the Lord Ambassador and his Viceroys, diplomatic relations have been re-established with the Rebel Squadrons and you can now all blast your very own Rebel at the Outer Rim Combat Nights again. Not only that, but pilots from the Star Vipers, Vast Empire and Last Starfighter League will also be lining up for us to kick their butts. Bok your place early to avoid disappointment!

And that about wraps it up. Nothing to report on because everyone was on leave (although looking at Shak's activity report it's possible no-one told him :P), so welcome back and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves :)

Last week's answer - "We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs... we got sonic-electronic ballbreakers! We got nukes, we got knives, we got sharp sticks! We are the Ultimate Badasses! You do not want to mess with us."
