*Captain* (ekhm ;) Artyis reporting in for Sigma Squadron pilots activities
in... erm... a week from 04.12.2000 to 12.12.2000.

...And once again I have to start with apologies for the delay.
Unfortunately there're things (like school among others...) which seem be
more important than my alter ego's life...
I'd also like to notify you all that from now on all Sigma Squadron Weekly
Reports will be available on Tuesdays; I come to conclusion that Tuesday has
some advantages over Sunday, for example no one, or rather almost no one
needs to face the unexpected Sunday-visits on Tuesdays...

Having that said let's get started at last!


SIGMA SQUADRON NEWS:

- The Squadron League quarter-finals results are finally in! We've been

his high activity in month November! Congratulations, Brother!

- Captain Todbringer, Captain Devlin, Major Al R.S., Commander Thunder and
myself have been awarded Commendations of Bravery for braking the limit of

worth of note that every Sigma'er who'll make it will be recommended to be
rewarded that way).

- Sole representative of our squadron in multiplayer gaming got his fifth, a
Copper Scimitar one, Legion of Combat medal! Congratulations, Major Al R.S.
and keep up the good work!

All three simultaneous skirmishes were successful! All 5 participating Red
pilots have been eliminated. We lost however excellent pilot, MAJ Al R.S.
who's been sent down in flames by Wing Commander LC Calzeo Inkwolf.
Attached, you'll find detailed report of these events.

- The Marathon round 4 is over (TIE Battle #117, Resh Battle).
List of pilots, who participated in round 4th and still have a chance for an
ISM at the end of this competition:
1-1, CM Artyis
1-4, CPT Devlin
2-1, LCM Esm'ael Rasxus
2-4, LCM Koriel
3-2, MAJ Al R.S.
3-4, CPT Todbringer

1-4, CPT Devlin
2-1, LCM Esm'ael Rasxus
2-4, LCM Koriel
3-2, MAJ Al R.S.

- The Marathon round 6 has begun! We are supposed to fly TIE Battle #152,
Relentless Training (attached) by Monday, December the 18th.
As far as I know it's quite nice six-missions battle without any bugs nor
ultra-hard challenges. Pilots, I expect the higher participation, than the
one in two last Combat Runs...

Current High Scores for TIE Battle #152.
Total 406,537 COL Oldham
Mission 1 41,118 MAJ Mini Minkus
Mission 2 38,499 LC Reaper
Mission 3 120,345 CM Dax Corrin
Mission 5 82,560 MAJ Mini Minkus
Mission 6 98,800 COL Oldham

- Well, it seems we (all but Captain Devlin - good work, Brother!) forgot
totally about BattleCry competition... In order to prevent such things in
future Major Al proposed to reactivate our old Kantyna calendar... It's
going to be ready tomorrow.
