Captain Philo reporting in for Yod Squadron 07.07.02

Fleet News:

Imperial Storm III:

Sov forces defeated an ASF fleet: We lost 3 GUNs, then lost 12 GUNs, some ATRs, and a M/FRG. "Rescuing" from the TIE results still in progress, but things look very good for the Sov to win it all.

I’m also impressed with Yod’s participation. We had at least 3 pilots fly the TIE mission. Way to go!

Appointments/Positions Open:

New IWATS Professors:

ICQ: MAJ Lohr Zadash
ASP: VA Grail Soulchaser
GFX: TBA

Other News:

XWA WoW is on.
TAC Striker is now a High Admiral
There’s a poll about whether time zone/country info should be added to TC profiles.


Ship News:

The Sov message board is back up, after some "technical difficulties".
CPT Argon Viper is organizing a Sov Starcraft tournament.


Wing News:

Still no official appointment of a Wing Commander yet.

Welcome back to MAJ Mortu in Lamed, and our very own CM Red Fox.

Squadron News/Orders:

News:

Another New (Old) Arrival! A hearty welcome back to Foxy, who’s rejoined Yod from the reserves. She’s the new FL of the Crazy Aces, with Morth going to Yod 2-2.

There was a of flying activity this week. Way to go, pilots! I’m removing the "I’d (almost) rather be processing BSFs" bumper sticker from my T/D.

With the arrival of a sixth pilot, we’re once again eligible for squadron citations, and currently have 63. For those of you who want assignments to add more citations, here they are:
Halc, Morth: Fly something you haven’t flown yet.
Everyone else: Just fly anything; Halc and Morth have almost the entire TIE-TC field covered, and a good bit of the rest as well.
Actually, I can give more detailed assigments if anyone's interested.


Colossus Squadron League 2:

Week 3 results:

4 submissions, 4 goals, and a new mission high score (and IS-BW pending) for Halc. Thanks to the new arrivals (Foxy, Streng) for giving us a sweep, and putting us in a 3-way tie for first in our group.

Yod:

Halcyon 121,766
Philo 84,435
RedFox 57,787
Streng 26,246

Mu:

Edward De'Galeon 79,703
Kalve Ryder 13,398


This week we’re off, so that other groups with withdrawing squadrons can catch up.

Krayt Squadron Competition:

The single-player mission is still XvT-FCHG 1. Due date is 19 July.
Halc and I hung around EuroComp yesterday waiting for a Krayt wingman for MAJ Frodo to show up, but to no avail. Hopefully this Saturday they’ll have better luck getting someone there.

Orders:

Fly XvT-FCHG 1 before 19 July.

Recruit!

Get to know our new pilots (again).
