    Once again a mixed week. Ups and downs, but that's how it goes :)

    To start off with the ups: the medals for the last two weeks of the Hammer on Patrol and the Hammer on Recon competitions came in, and I took down another 6 medals for it, earning me also the win for the month. Downside is that something went wrong with LCM Nylan's submission for the first week, and that no one but me and the COM submitted anything for last week. I also got a joined 1st place in the HoR competition, but that was primarily because the only other competitor, CPT Cruise, didn't submit 2 out of the 8 screenshots, allowing me to catch up in points. Where are all the MP players? Where are your submissions!

    Seeing as this report is dated August 31, it means another Monthly Squadron Evaluation is due. I'll be submitting mine today somewhere. As the month ends, so do the monthly competitions. While there's a few hours left, there's a number of competitions which are unlikely to see a change in outcome so I'll pretend :) Congrats to the winners. Unfortunately, Delta didn't win in the Ace competitions, and we also missed out on the Hammer Pilot of the Month. We did score on the aforementioned HoP and HoR competitions, with me winning both. It also means the end to the first week of Delta's Top Ace. I scored most points but I guess I won't qualify :) Scores will be reset today, and aug 31 will count for september!

    Some more good news though, as I was able to award another Trivia Incentive medal. This time the recipient was MAJ Clark who hit 1300 points this week!

    More good news: After the release of the Craft Pak for XWA for us unlucky folks who are running a 64 bit OS, RA Nutrientman has begun releasing patches for the battles that still could not be played. Each battle its own patch. It's not as clean as the patch system, but it works and that's what counts the most!

    Delta squadron competitions

    Each day of the week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with a trivia
    question, same as before. 3 pts for the first correct answer, 2 pts for
    second and 1 pt for 3rd. At the end of the week, the one with the
    most points wins the shiny. As usual, there's extra shinies available for
    accumulating set amounts of points.

  • Delta's Top Ace
    All activity during the next 3 months counts for this competition, flying and no flying.

    Wing I/ISDII Hammer competitions

    Pilot of the month and receives an IS-GW. Second will receive an IS-SW and third an IS-BW.
