Greetings, Sigma'ers and honorable guests. This week we have many
reasons to be congratulated, so... let's get started!
Squadron News:
- Wing Commander Lieutenant Colonel Inkwolf found us worth of holding
Wing Commander's Award for month October! Wing Commander has explained
her decision this way: "With the highest activity level in the wing and
the incredible Sov League participation, Sigma has earned it well!" - LC
Inkwolf.
Congratulations, all!
I would like also to remind you, that Sigma holds now 2 Commodore's
Awards, and 6 Wing Commander's Awards! Not bad as for squadron with 18
month history I guess... :)
- 7 of current Sigma's pilots (plus RSV/CM Thunder as the eighth one)
were awarded Bronze Stars for completing all 14 rounds of Squadron
League 2000! Here are awarded ones:

Congratulations, Brothers! it's the highest personal award achieved so
far For most of us!
I would also like to remind you that two other pilots, Lieutenant
Commander Regis Knox and Lieutenant Commander Obi-Kan Kysiobi were
awarded Imperial Security Medals last week for completing, respectively
10 and 7 rounds of Squadron League!
- Reinforcements (necessary after resignations that occurred last week)

Wing and Fleet News:
- "With the new Command Officer and Staff reports section, new reports

- Yesterday, on November the 11th, new Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars
RolePlaying System, which is supposed to replace an old West End's one,
hit the shelves! In order to celebrate this event 4 of us (Al, Esmael,
Tod and myself) are going to do some Star Wars role-playing! ...using
old system of course: I don't expect it will be available in Poland
soon, so I'm afraid we can count only on Amazon.co.uk...

pictures from a Japanese fan's 155 week effort to re-create the Star

- Competition Wing II vs. Omega Squadron has started!
Wing Commander Lieutenant Colonel Inkwolf said:
"The time for the ultimate revenge is at hand!
The fiction division of our grudge competition against Omega has begun!
The goal: write a story in which Wing II (or members thereof) finds a
way to totally humiliate, make monkeys of, and generally cause Omega to
look like silly idiots!
So, get your evil plotting caps on and get writing! Stories are due in
to me by the 20th!" - LC Inkwolf
Reminder: November the 20th is next week's Monday.
