---ISD CHALLENGE NEWS ---

Wing Commander's Own goes to.....Thunder. Congrats... count on us for the next...
Two new Wing Comps...one against Wing I, one on XvT.
Captain Jack awarded a Palpatine Crescent for his exemplary service in restoring a quite dead squadron ! Well deserved !
Plenty of promotions in the several squadrons....congrats to all
-- SQUADRON NEWS ---
THREE "new" pilots...Welcome again to Captain Darkfire, Commander Rea and Lieutenant-Commander Steele.... we are going to be the highest-ranked squadron in the fleet behind Tau...:) 2 COLs, 2 CPTs, 2 CMs, 4 LCMs, 1 LT... we could nearly ask for an Elite status (j/k)
Lieutenants Corran Horn and Veers have been promoted to Lieutenant-Commanders...congratulations for these well-deserved promotions !
End of the Tornado January Comp: LCM Steele won it a few days after testing his new T/D...impressive...one more ISM
Squadron Tactical Report from COL NiksaVel: The Brothers in Arms mission is delayed, so the next Squadron Comp will be played on EH Battle 3... I heard that it was a GOOD battle... and the Challenge is looking for a citation too ;)
I will be on leave from Feb 20th to Feb 28th... someone will be given temp command of the squadron... many of you could do the job in the squad, but I think of Colonel Kessler for it...as "historical" Tornado Commander....if you agree.
If you wonder if there's no Squadron Executive Officer position, well it's because it is quite a honorific position here as I will handle the tfrs anyway... let's say that's the Tornado ExO will be the temp-CMDR in two weeks.
The "Fiction" Officer Position or whatever you want it to be named is still TBA, maybe Captain Darkfire could be interested...
--- COMPS ---
-Tornado TIE Comp: EH Battle 3 to fly for February 28th; an ISM to win... I will probably report the deadline so play the other comps before !
-BG Comp EH Battle 107 for Ship Citations ! Deadline February 28th.
-Wing X vs Wing I Comp: EH Battle 76 to fly for February 27th...BS, PC ,ISM and a lot of beer to win !
-Wing XvT Comp: Start up a NEW pilot file, play the Combat Engagement (Imperial Sided) - Attach on Victory-class star Destroyer Formidable. Deadline February 28th.
-First FCHG Comp: soon
--- WAR ROOM ---
The EH Battle Board will be up within a week...
Four citations already for Tornado, keep it up... I added in the war room the most played battles.... please try to fly those battles in order to us to have other citations instead of playing random battles in the EH Archives....
Tornado could earn citations for EH Battles 1 and 75...and the Challenge for EH Battles 1, 63 and 3...
I will add a direct link to Wing X Battle Board in our War Room...
--- TORNADO WEBPAGE ---
We reached 664 hits...
