MEMBER COUNT: 59 (0 Change)

Greetings pilots of the Hammer!

Welcome to this weeks report, albeit somewhat late in nature as your Commodore has had his head buried in Imperial Storm III paperwork and admin.

The last 13 days have seen a number of new members come and older members go - so we're actually holding steady at 59 members as of today. We've also seen a fair number of awards issued to pilots of the ISDII Hammer which you can see more of below, with the next round of MSE medals due to drop any moment now.

LC Genie continues to lead the charge for the Hammer in Imperial Storm III and we're now coming into the final couple of turns, although we currently have a battle against the ISDII Challenge team so please fly TIE FREE 145 and submit any multiplayer legions before midnight on Sunday.

The Hammer Crew Compendium competition is still ongoing - thank you for all the submissions - remember it will come to a close in 2 weeks time at which point we'll kick off Season Three of the Trivia for the Hammered!

Finally - we do have a Hammer Tour of Duty competition approved, however we're making a few tweaks so stay tuned!

Hammer Crew Compendium
The Hammer is more than just its pilots, we have a Star Destroyer to flesh out. Over the next 6 weeks you can come up with characters for our mighty ship, be it the chief navigator, the cook, the engineers, the janitor... you name it.
Submissions need to be at least 400 words long, and will be scored by the Commodore. The best submission will receive a IS-SR, second place receiving a IS-BR.
For ideas check out an earlier competition which gave us these characters.

* Note
If two pilots submit characters for the same position, we can modify them slightly after the competition.
DEADLINE: August 31st

Imperial Storm III
Imperial Storm is a turn based war-game that pits all three Battlegroups against the others over a map of the planetary systems that we are currently near.

The teams will do battle against each other for control of the map, earning points for holding systems and attempting to deprive the enemy of their own.

Battles are fought using a scoring system that takes into account all Legion (LoC/LoS) earned during the combat window, alongside the average scores of a teams top 4 SP pilots.

Full rules can be found here: http://www.isdhammer.org/ImperialStorm_III.pdf

The winning Team at the end of the 30 turn game will see all participating pilots earn a TIE Corps Meritorious Unit Award (MUA).

The top 6 scorers in each of the 3 streams (top LoC count, top LoS count, top HS% SP count) will earn Iron Stars as below:

1st: IS-GW
2nd: IS-SW
3rd: IS-SW
4th: IS-BW
5th: IS-BW
6th: IS-BW

IS-CWs will be awarded to pilots for each set of 1000 Legions earned over the course of the competition during battles their fleet is involved in.

IS-CWs will also be awarded to pilots that complete all or all but one of the SP missions assigned to their fleet in battles over the course of the competition.

A full list of TIE Corps competitions can be found here

As ever, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
