New COM of the DGN
Lichtor V
19:36 - FA Stalker5 [Stalker5@rothwell-clieves.freeserve.co.uk] With the recent resignation of Rear Admiral Samuel Shadd III, a new commodore of the Lichtor V had to be selected. After reviewing several qualified applicants for the position, and speaking with advisors (including former COM Shadd) I have appointed Rear Admiral Oldham as new commodore! Hopefully in the next few months, Rear Admiral Oldham will be helping to build up Praetorians reputation once more. ASF

A new AlliED has been released for registered users! This one fixes that annoying "No Cargo" bug from TIE Fighter imported missions. Another bug that made briefings corrupt has also been fixed. Several other undocumented fixes were made as well.

I received an email this morning in response to a welcome that I sent to
Admiral Ozzel. The text follows:
Hi!You have drawn the short straw! You know about that, I'm sure!
Would you be kind enough to do me a small favour?
I've had so many lovely es of welcome from folk on the Emperor's Hammer and I just don't have the time at present to write to each one personally.
Would you be so kind as to pass on my thanks and greetings to all? Perhaps you have a notice board and could pin this up.
I'd be very grateful.
My thanks and Yours Aye - as they said in Scotland, the country of my birth,
Michael.
(Admiral Ozzel)
Dutch Star
Con
15:08 - COL Callista [callista@tiecorps.org]
For all of you Dutch people, there is a Star Wars convention
in Holland very soon, someone told me May 12, but I couldn't confirm the date on
their homepage : http://www.dutchstarcon.com .
They have several star guests, including Warwick Davis, Jeremy Bullock, Gary Kurtz, Alan Harris, Phil Brown, Eric Walker, Kenneth Colley and a couple of others, and offer other activities. Their English is rather bad though, so some of what they wrote didn't make sense to me... If you're interested, I suggest you go to their site and contact them via email or phone, and ask them WHERE and WHEN this exactly is, cause MY Dutch is a little 'rusty'. If you get further information on date and location, please post it here, too, if it's not too far away, I'd like to come!
Emperor's Hammer
Summer Bash!
14:07 - AD Quake [guyquake@btinternet.com]
Will you be in England on Friday 27th July through to Sunday
29th? If you are, you are invited to the Emperor's Hammer Summer Bash/BBQ in
Brighton. Brighton is in the South-East corner of England along the southcoast.
It's a fairly big city, with an exciting nightlife and a load of shops for all
your shopping needs. I'm co-organising the whole event with Colonel Mairin and
Fleet Admiral Priyum Patel. If you are American/Canadian/European, and would
like to come and join in the fun, we suggest you go and have a look at
http://www.buzzaway.com, http://www.ryanair.com and http://www.easyjet.com for
really cheap flights inbound to the UK. We will be booking the accomodation in
Brighton very soon, so if possible, please mail guyquake@btinternet.com and
mairin@isdchallenge.org if you can come.
Wing News:
Lots of stuff going on. The Opration Supremacy competition that finishes on the 30th or April. And also a non-specified Wing comp to get Com Ender as an honorary squad member! Here are the details :
<SALUTE>
Wing XV Pilots,
You are now in a
completely unexpected competition with no prior notice given.
Don't think it
isn't organized, no, I have all details worked out.
The TO needs to approve
this, but I'll go along anyways.
Start Date: 24/04/2001
End Date:
08/05/2001
Parties Involved:Wing XV.
Battles/Comps Used: Any EH
Battle, and any Multiplayer Event recognized as a Fleet Competition by the
Combat Operations Office, plus Operation: Supremacy (TO Approved Comp -
#488).
Other Details: Two week Flying Competition for Wing XV.
We
will go by a points system (for each pilot, not squadron):
1 point per
Mission flown.
3 points per LoC won (and per Operation: Supremacy (Comp #488)
victory).
2 points per Competition attended where no LoCs were
won.
Squadrons will be rated as well:
5 points per Single Player
Citation
7 points per Multiplayer Citation (where over half the Squadron has
gone to a Combat Event).
* Each Citation earned only counts once, even if
you lose it and regain it.
If anyone transfers during the Competition,
their points stay with the Squadron they were originally with.
At the
end, the scores will be tallied and the following awards will be
given:
First Place: Iron Silver Wings (SW)
Second Place: Iron Star
Bronze Wings (BW)
Third Place: Iron Star Bronze Wings (BW)
This is the
especially cool part, thanks to Ender mBind for thinking this up: The winning
Squadron will have the Commodore as un unofficial member of their Squadron for
two weeks. He will post on the Squadron's message board, submit BSFs, etc. to
the CMDR and do various other Squadron related activities.
Any activity
starting as of today counts, not BSFs flown earlier and submitted during the
Comp, not LoCs earned before the Comp but awarded during... I want this activity
to reflect activity starting today. I didn't even tell the CMDRs, so I'm pretty
confident there is no hoarding like in ASF:SC II.
It is your job to tell
me about your points. Keep me informed.
Thanks,
Lieutenant
Colonel Khadgar
Wing XV Wing Commander
Squadron news:
Ok, I have had to releive CM_Bip from Echo. And I may face this situation again if some of you don't contact me soon. I really don't want to remove people from the roster so please contact me. It aslo pains me that some of you just send me the monthly e-mail to stay on the roster. Why did you join the TC? I'm sure it wasn't for E-mail. Please remeber the joy you had and please come back to full active duty. Not just a receptionnist. Also, I don't get a response from some of you when I e-mail you. And some FM are more active than the FL. Please, please come back and play! A free mission a month is all I ask...(5 min of your time). But remember, this isn't supposed to be a chore. this is supposed to be fun! Let's have fun together shall we? So as a result, I want EVERYONE to respond to this e-mail by the week-end or fly in a comp or complete a battle so I know you are alive or you will be moved to the reserves. I didn't want to have to do this but I feel I must. I did not come to this decision o my own, it came as a suggestion. Please prove them wrong! And make me proud!
I shall list the total points of the month in this report as well. All points are official points, things not official as of yet. (such as OR comps or missing MP events will be tallied later)
