What is Imperial Storm you say?
Imperial Storm is a turn based war game that the TIE Corps runs every year. Previous incarnations have seen the three Battlegroups spar over a sector of space seeking to claim dominance. Whilst the teams move their fleets around the map, combat which occurs when the opposing forces meet is decided by the accumulation of Legions and performance in a selected Single Player mission over a 48 hour period.

Great, how is it different this year?
This year we are trying something slightly different. Instead of having the three TIE Corps Battlegroups oppose one another, they will be flying together although each as a separate unit under the TC banner against the forces of the Ishtari who will be led by FA Jarek La'an.

That sounds great but how does it work?
Imperial Storm V see's the TIE Corps moving against the Ishtari, the enemy we faced in Raise the Flag 22. They are an oppressive species and our aim is to liberate a number of worlds that sit around the fringes of the map during the initial 20 days of the campaign (you'll see this called Phase 1). The final 10 days will see us push into the core of their star cluster for the final attack (colloquially called Phase 2).
Each Team Captain (the BGCOM or a nominated individual) will be responsible for deploying a fleet based on the current Order of Battle. This fleet will move around a hex based map seeking to liberate the worlds that the Ishtari have subjugated.
The final medals will be awarded based on how many worlds we manage to liberate during the game, alongside how much of the Ishtari fleet we destroy. If we somehow lose and the Ishtari led by La'an win....
