Imperial Storm / War Officer **
The final

TF Doom -
1780 Victory Points
TF Silver
Saber - 1345 Victory Points

Congratulations
to Vice Admiral Adrenaline and her team. Their strategy of capturing planets
early on seems to have paid off!
One thing
that ImpStorm showed is that although it can be great fun for all participants,
it does require a tremendous amount of planning and on-going work -
particularly from whoever is running the game. Therefore, in consultation with
several members, a new position within the TIE Corps has been created - War
Officer :
(as
taken from the Training Manual - under Imperial Advisors)
War Officer
Position Description: The War
Officer is in charge of wargaming activities within the TIE Corps, and works
under the authority of the TIE Corps Commander (TCCOM). He or she is
responsible for evaluating the rules of wargames and skirmishes, reporting
wargame reviews and results to the TCCOM, as well as plotlines for future
games. The War Officer is also tasked with maintaining the Wargaming Manual and
website.
Rank: The minimum rank for this position is Rear
Admiral, and the maximum rank is Admiral.
Command
Responsibilities
- Reviewing and
approving new wargame rules for use in the TIE Corps.
- Reviewing and
approving new complex skirmishes rules for use in the TIE Corps.
- Documenting fleets
and rules used in all official Wargames and Skirmishes in the TIE Corps.
- Functioning as Game
Master in larger scale wargames, such as those between Battlegroups or
TC-wide (or smaller ones as necessary).
- Organizing larger
scale wargames, like those between Battle Groups or involving the full TIE
Corps or EH Subgroups. (for example: the yearly "Imperial Storm"
operation.)
- Keep a record of all
wargames, past and present, on a regularly updated WO website.
- Maintain and revise
the Wargaming manual as necessary.
With the creation of this new position, I am now taken
applications for the first WO. The requirements for all applicants are as
follows:
- Be a member (in
good-standing) of the TIE Corps for no less than SIX months
- Have some form of
Command experience (ideally WC+)
- To be familiar with
all aspects of Wargaming (running of, rules etc), and be prepared to run
large-scale games
- To have a basic grasp
of HTML, and be prepared to create & maintain a Wargaming manual and
site
- You must be able to
work amicably with all Flag Officers within the TIE Corps.
Note: This will be a full time position and as such, if
picked, you'd have to leave your current position.
All applications should have "War Officer" in
the subject and should be emailed to spellfire@btinternet.com
& pellaeon2000@cs.com by next
Friday.
