Wing III
Report #4
11.11.2003 - LC Josh Popelka
Wing III Wing Report for November 2nd through 11th, 2003.
Hey everyone! Time for another Wing Report. Been fairly quiet, other than the Sov trashing the TCBGs in Imp Storm IV. We still have work to do though. More on that in a minute.
WING NEWS
-----------------
This month's main objective is to trash the ISDs Intrepid and Vanguard in the Beer Cup. The battles to be flown are TIE-TC #211, XvT-TC #75 and XWA-TC #24. Pilot files are due to AD Proton by the 30th. Make sure to send them to your CMDR as well. As I said earlier, I hope to see the Sov crush the Intrepid and the Vanguard like two empty beer cans. >:)
Wings II III and IV were challenged by the ISD Relentless recently. As advised by AD Proton, we will be waiting until December to commence combat operations against them. The Beer Cup comes first!
I'm still waiting on some communications regarding the CMDR positions in Beth Squadron and Daleth Squadron. I'm going to attempt to have one of the positions filled by the end of the next week or so.

XvT-TC 28 unlocked
04:05 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
EH Ship Patch for XvT has been released thanks to hard work of Sco staff, so now you can all fly XvT-TC #28 again :)
Thanks Ender!
CA:TAC resigns, replacement sought
00:51 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
Today. I bring you sad news. My CA:TAC, Vice Admiral Philo, has decided to resign his position and transfer to reserves due to extreme time restrictions. I think no comment is needed here.
Here was great CA:TAC and my right hand for all this months. I really considered him as new TAC, and I knew he would do great. But unfortunately, life comes first. For all of us.
I would really like to thank you Philo for all your hard work and support you gave me. You are the model CA:TAC and you can be sure, that it will be damn hard to replace you. Thanks!
Right now. I have to do two things. I make Philo, honorary TACA. I know this is reserves for stepping down TAC's, but I am changing it. And I am looking for replacement. I won't lie, there are no real requirements and if any TCC would like to get it, he gets it. So, mail me and try!
Vice Admiral Philo, until our next meeting!

XvT shippatch released!
15:56 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
Today saw the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Ship Patch" for XvT. This patch adds the B-Wing, TIE Defender, Missileboat, System Patrol Craft, Scout Craft, Container Transport, Medium Transport, Modified Corvette, Modified Frigate, Passenger Liner, Carrack Cruiser, Light Calamari Cruiser, Communications Relay, Sensor Array, Astromech, Probe Capsule, Gunplatform, Large Gunplatform, Laser Battery and Pilot to XvT. It also changes ranks and awards to a EH theme.
The patch can be installed together with other patches and kept installed permanently as it does not replace any existing Craft. It does however replace the B-W, T/D and MIS patches. (As does its BoP counterpart)
This concludes the series of EH Ship Patches, which means that all craft of TIE are now available for XvT and BoP while all craft from BoP are now available for TIE95. :)

WING ORDERS
--------------------
FLY! Fly for the Beer Cup! Battles are listed in the Wing News at the beginning of this report. This is your TOP PRIORITY for this month.
Communicate! C'mon folks, I'm not that scary. OK, maybe I am, but the chops and I aren't going to bite.:P Send your CMDRs, Squadrons, Wing or me e-mail. Communication is a good thing.
Write fiction, create graphics! Fiction is good, fiction plus graphics is even better. I AM getting old here...
Take IWATS Courses! They look good on your ID Line and you learn stuff.
Have fun!
MISCELLANEOUS
-----------------------
Well, my youngest sister came to visit on Saturday night. Bought me dinner, a couple of new flannel shirts and the Indiana Jones Trilogy on DVD. She even gave me twenty bucks on top of it. Sadly I've already spent most of it. I wish I could say I spent it on wine, women and song; but I didn't. Smokes and a pizza for supper tonight. Hmph...
The Indiana Jones Trilogy got me in the mood to stomp the living crap out of those goose-stepping Nazi goons. I installed Return to Castle Wolfenstein and started playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault again. Stomped this big evil possessed Nazi wench tonight in RtCW. God, that had to be one of the most horrific bosses I've ever seen. The noise that thing made after I emptied a clip of MP40 rounds into it...*shudder*
I just got through the D-Day assault on Omaha Beach in MoH:AA last night too. No thanks to the the bleeding strategy guide I got with the Deluxe Edition of the game. Here's the advice the guide gave me at one point: "Watch out for the mine markers. If you step on a mine, your warring career is over." No foolin'?! Strat guides should tell you the safe path through the mine field or around it. I had to go to GameFAQs.com to find out that I could just walk on the left side of the first bleeding row of barbed wire...*growl*
Started playing Halo again, too. Gotten a bit further, though now I'm in a fairly bad way. Low health, not enough ammo for the good guns and there's a tank shooting at me. If you're wondering the title of the level of section is "If I had a Super Weapon..." Just let me get past the tank!
I tell you, dreams are strange and disturbing things. I had a doozy this morning. My subconscious was painfully honest about my abilities. This dream messed me up for a good half-hour this morning, sucked down about three smokes in fifteen, twenty minutes, just to calm my nerves (that's more than I usually do in that time). The dream wasn't all that wierd, which is what bugged me the most. Anyone that is curious is more than welcome to ask for more details, but right now, I'm tired and need to sleep.
God, I hope I don't have another dream like that one. Or maybe I do... Somebody get me a beer!
I think that about covers this week's report.
Thanks,
Lieutenant Colonel Josh Popelka
