A new briefing before Christmas Day...
--- PROMOTION ---
Lieutenant Wet Willy is now Lieutenant-Commander ! A brilliant career is under way....;)
--- FLEET NEWS ---
Read the new Flight Office Report about TC Propaganda...
--- ISD CHALLENGE NEWS ---
-Typhoon is one more time The Wing Commander's Own....result of the duel between CMDRs Tad and Maverick:
MAJ Maverick: 409432
MAJ Tad Taliesin: 405965
--- COMPS ---
-The TO Comp has ended...I'm a bit disappointed with the participation...LT Veers only cc me his email for the TO Comp...or you have all forgot to cc your mail to me ? Results soon.
-Tau has several comps lined up, so we will have to wait for a Challenge vs Tau comp...
-As a result, there is a new Wing Comp ! Free mission Delta1 to fly before January 20th....this mission was made by a former CMDR of Tornado....you will fly in Tornado Flight Group II in this escort mission (at the beginning....).
-I also set up a Tornado TIE Comp, EH Battle 105 to fly for February 1st (or when everybody has sent his tfr..)...this 5-mission-battle has been created by COL Niksavel, a former member of Tornado....starring: the Challenge and its squadrons... ...a single XvT Comp should come soon...
-Also, I would like you to think about a Squadron logo...not a banner, a logo...something like a badge we could wear on uniforms (must be approved before by Flag Officers, OPS Office..etc) or we could paint on our ships.
-Any XvT Pilot who wants to fly for the honor of Wing X against the ASF must email me and MAJ Tad (lmhollen@vip.net) with your best .plt pilot file ! We need a 5-member-team for the Wing !
--- IWATS ---

Something may have misled you in the past weeks...I forgot to update the main page with the date of the last update....but the site is still updated each week or so ! I made some structural coding change, just have a look to see if everything is still perfect ;)...I posted the INPR and custom battles. Any idea to improve the site are welcome. Also, check the several boards on the site and tell me if I forgot something...
