Hello, I am your new CMDR, MAJ Fondor. Some of you may know me and some of you may not so I will give you a brief history of my time on the Vanguard. In my TC career I have served one year on the Vanguard in various positions, most notable Echo CMDR and Mantis CMDR. This report may seem pre-mature but I want to get us started on WoW as soon as possible.

Week of War:
XWA Week of War has started quite some time ago, but there is still a little time left. I suggest that if you have not signed up yet that you do so at http://www.battlestats.com. Python should have a good showing of pilots by the next WoW.

Contact Me:
Please send me an email so I can make sure that you are all here.

Multi-Player Competitions:
Multi-Player competitions are very important in showing our activity. I hope that all of you make an effort to make it to as many as possible. Make sure to FWD me any emails where you are awarded LoCs.
Upcoming Competitions: Euro LoC: Held in #euro LoC 10:00 AM EST. Kampfergemetzel: Held on the zone (http://www.zone.com) at 1:00 PM EST. Outer Rim: Held in #outerrim on the IRC server Espoo.Fi.EU.InnerNET.ORG at 2:00 PM EST. Outer Rim is a good way to get a large amount of LoCs as Mareek has doing. If you have not signed up for an OR PIN you should go to http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/outerrim. For a complete listing of competitions go to http://www.tiecorps.org/combat/calendar.asp.

Python Squadron Competitions:
Right now my self and MAJ Death of Avenger squadron are planning a MP competition, more details latter. If you have any ideas please email me at fondor_bhaal@hotmail.com.

Misc.:
If you have any questions or comments feel free to email me at Fondor_bhaal@hotmail.com, I can also be found on IRC at various times of the day. If you own TIE Fighter I encourage you to take the TIE Fighter Tactics course at http://www.imperialacademy.org/tietactics and any additional IWATS courses.
