Wing News
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and jellymen, we are finally back in full force with our wing mandatory orders and we are the front wing representing our ship, the SSSD Sovereign in the Wing II vs. Immortal vs. Greywolf. Details, as well as all other news, in the report.
Before we begin. We need our occasional cat picture. And with Halloween just around the corner......

On to the news....
Wing II vs Immortal vs Greywolf: Besides us needing a shorter competition name, we need everyone to participate in whatever they can to help defeat the opposing ships. This is a major competition for us and one that's probably long overdue. We have not engaged in a competition of this magnitude since I've become wing commander. All details can be found in the Wing Orders below.
Imperial Storm IV: BGs Revenge: Wargame is halfway done. No major action has occurred but like most wargames, the action will probably occur near the end.
SSSD Sov's Imperial Storm Warroom:

War Officer AD Pel's site is http://www.minos.net/~palinathas/isiv.htm
Wing II Mission Voting Competition: VOTE VOTE VOTE! We have a PLAN! Yup, congratulations to LT Conker's plan of attack. There is a mission that we are to fly. It's really easy I think. Details in the Wing Orders http://theholo.net/mb/viewtopic.php?t=9072
Again, these are the rules http://66.166.160.74/~stele/comps.php#13
Wing II Talk Radio, An Imperial Voice: Holding strong at 8 listeners. This week, I chatted with the AI from Tie Fighter. A bit disgruntled after the interview, the AI will probably not visit me for a while =P

CMDRs: Be sure to cc your squad reports to Paul.reeves99@ntlworld.com from now on. Thanks.

Mini-Squadron News
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Kappa: Everyone checks in. Challange against Talon Squadron put on hold since they're not a TIE squadron. But compromises are being dealt with to continue some type of competition.
-Psi: Participation for the Sov v Immortal v Greywolf... dangit! This competition name is just too long to type. From now on I'm calling it Sov et al. Bahh. That doesnt sound right. Oh forget it. Anyways, Psi's LT Daler may be awold
-Rho: Participation here for S-I-G. Looking good participation wise.
- Sin: Sin is out of the danger zone now since the transfer of Mickk, Chris, and Jack to Sin Squadron. Already I've had participation from this group for the S-I-G competition.

Mid-point of Imperial Storm IV
23:59 - VA Pel [Palinathas@aol.com]
Yes, we have reached the mid-point, turn 15 of 30. So far all teams have played rather cautions, with only one small skirmish (a Corvette on the Sovereign side was pounced on by an entire Battlegroup!). The last few days have seen lots of sightings of enemies, so I expect some battles real soon. Keep looking for more details as they come.
Avenger Elite Squadron Commander open for apps
15:39 - FA Cyric [jroscoe@comcast.net]
AD Darksaber is accepting applications for Avenger
Squadron, the ASF Elite squadron. If you feel you can
be an active commander and excel at Multiplay, send
your applications to AD Darksaber
Old battles
01:33 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
After long discussion with Fleet Commander, we have agreed to place old .zips on one of the mirrors. They are all located at: http://battles.tiecorps.net/old/. All people who have EHBL problems can download them now
But. This mirror is going offline at 1st January 2004, so after that time you will only have .ehm files and you WILL HAVE TO use EHBL. You have 3.5 months to solve any EHBL problems you encounter. Mail TAC, SCO, CA:SCO and we will help you.
So. You have .zips back, make EHBL working on your computers, and .zips are going offline on January 1st.

Wing II Quotes of the Week
- Zekkie's retirement has led to Theta Squadron being closed, how sad!
I see from the roster that all remaining pilots were apparently
transferred over to Sin. Even sadder! :P
Shhhh! It's really a cleverly disguised test of
intelligence! :p
-Doctor Chris

> BTW, the battle.lfd file needs to be changed
> otherwise you could end up flying the rest of the
> orginal battle one. lol
Also Ninj is trying to bring me closer to the heart attack by flooding me with battle submissions... ACK ! But I take the heart attack for the submissions. No chance in ever hearing me something like" YOu fly too much , Ninj", NEVER !:P
---Carl
> Heh, I'll take the Bayeux Tapestry, thanks. =P
Hmmm... thinking about that again, that idea *does* sound kinda cool.
So can you push the deadline a month or two, please? :P
--Tempest
"and I don't see the BG having to resort to flagrant anti-BG-ASF-ATF
comps (i.e. the Killboard) in a pathetic attempt to get activity out."
-RA Locke
"Actually Locke, you want to know what I find so funny? The fact that a
lowly lieutenant from a supposedly dead ship has gotten a Rear Admiral
threatened enough that you have to request a fighter wing's assistance to
divert attention from a tactical debate." -LT Brin Chaser
LOL Yeah.. I'll console him... with my Golf Club!! It'll be so far up his ass the rubber on the end will be used for his chew toy!!
