WC's Rant!:
As usual, on cheating! Please, DON'T do this! Whatever the short term benefits may be as regards high scores, etc, if you cheat you WILL get caught, and you WILL pay the penalties for doing it. The penalties are high, and include being busted all the way back down to SL, loss of position, all medals accrued, loss of FCHG rank and scores, and being unable to earn FCHG points in the future. It's not fun, people, please DON'T DO IT. If you can't complete a battle for a competition then fly it with Invul and unlimited ammo on, DON'T CHEAT.

Wing Missions / IWATS / Medals for the week:
The Wing flew a whopping 821 missions this month! Unfortunately we started the month in fab style and then faded towards the end! New competition coming to combat this trend. >:)

The Wing took and passed 6 IWATS courses this month!

58 medals were awarded this month

BGCOM Resigns
Drake's left. Drinks in the cantina free for the next month to *cough*drown our sorrows*cough*.

Competitions
Currently running:
CSL 2: Involving Inferno, Tempest, Tornado and Typhoon (who just beat Teth - yey!)
XWA Allstars: Fly Free-XWA 61 before Sunday next week for the chance to win an IS-SW, an IS-BW, a kiss from the Wing Commander AND a chance to get into the XWA Allstars squad. Only four entries so far, so chances of winning are "high". :P
TopGun: Cheeeeeeeeeesy title, but the goal of this one is to fly as many missions by the end of the month as possible. Highest number of missions flown wins, and in the event of a tie, whoever flew the most without invulnerable and unlimited ammo will get the win. The winner will get an IS-SW, a nice activity reward at the end of the month, AND a bottle of Chal-pagne. Runners up will receive an IS-BW, a nice activity reward, and a consolation kiss from the Wing Commander. :P
Challenge Ace: Coming soon to a copy of TIE near you...
Challenge League 2: Coming soon to a Wing near you...

Wing Commander Takes up Tailoring
Remember, if you want a brand spanking new uniform, feel free to contact your Tempest Tailoring Tool sporting Wing Commander - I'll bust it out whenever, just for you!

Volunteers Needed for FMC
If you want to see the FMC come back to the Challenge, then get in touch with me. I'd prefer non-CMDR types so you guys can get some experience running competitions and stuff. :) We have approval to appoint people to become the Ship doctor and Nurse, but we need volunteers to do that. Duties will typically include running monthly trivia competitions, maintaining a Ship/Wing morale page, and hopefully helping out with the Cosmospolitan. :P

Challenge Recruitment Programme
The successful Challenge Recruitment Programme is still running, under the auspices of our very own Wing Commander, and ably aided and abetted by recruitment officers ship-wide. Current officers are:
ISD Challenge: RA Corran Force
Wing X: GN Mairin Astoris
Thunder: TBA
Tornado: MAJ Master
Tempest: MAJ Shakur
Inferno: TBA
Typhoon: CPT Badlan
Cyclone: TBA
Even if you're not an official recruitment officer, this doesn't stop you getting stuck in and recruiting people. If you want more information on recruiting, please talk to me!

Note that if you're interested in being a recruitment officer for your squadron, or another squad, then contact the commander of that squadron. :)

BG Multiplayer Training Nights
Come along to #ehcoc at 10pm GMT on Tuesdays and fly! LoCs available!

WC RECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES:

IWATS:
http://www.emperorshammer.net/to/ - a great place to improve your knowledge! Take courses in HTML, mission design, tactics, and ASP!

Battle Reviews:
So you flew the mission/battle? Why not write a review to help out mission designers and fliers? It doesn't have to be long, just a few lines - and even better it gets the Wing some great exposure!

Recruit:
Keep up the great work on this and keep bringing people to the Challenge! Our family is looking much more... familial these days. :)

Challenge News Network:
Is now concentrating on recreating the Cosmospolitan, cause hardly any of you lot submitted anything. >:P
