Hey Squadron
Report #67
7.4.2003 - LC Josh Popelka
Hey Squadron Report for June 14th through July 4th 2003.
Hey Hey! I know this report is extremely late, my communications
capabilities have been sabotaged repeatedly in the past three weeks. We've
got some news to cover, so let's do it!
SQUADRON NEWS
--------------------------
Good news first: CM Maw'la was promoted to Captain for service to the
squadron. Bad news is, due to real life time constraints, he's transferred
to the Reserves. Congrats on the promotion Maw'la and remember there's
always a spot for you in Hey Squadron!
More bad news, we lost our competition against Poke's DB squadron,
NightStalker. We only had one submission, though I'm not going ot complain
too much because I was a bit late...:| Bad Josh!!
With Maw'la's transfer, the Flight Leader position for Three Flight is open
for application. If you're a LT or above and have passed SM/2 or SM/3, send
me an application with any ideas you might have for squadron activity.
WING NEWS
-----------------
Hmm, nothing springs to mind right now. I am sending this out at five in
the morning, my time though. Read Thorn's next Wing Report. :P
FLEET NEWS

Avenger Recruitment Competition
12:29 - COL Dax Corrin [eggpine@hotmail.com]
Have you ever thought you had what it takes to be an Avenger? Now's your
chance to prove it! The first-ever Avenger pilot recruitment competition
will begin July 7th. Open to both XvT and XWA divisions, this will pit the
best MP pilots in the fleet against each other to win invitations to join
the best. This is open to all pilots in the EH. IS-GWs will be awarded to
top pilots in each division, IS-SW to 2nd place, and IS-BW to 3rd. The top
finishers in each division, if not in Avenger already, >:P, will be invited
to join. You do not have to accept the invitation to win the medals or
participate.
There will be a round-robin to determine the top 8 finishers in each
division, which will then battle double elimination to determine the top
guns in each division! Enter by emailing eggpine@hotmail.com and letting me
know what division you wish to enter. You may enter in both divisions if you
wish. Enter by July 5th, and first-round matches will go out July 7th. Good
luck to all!
XWA Mission Tutorial
12:27 - VA RogueWing [roguewing25@yahoo.com]
The new XWA Custom Mission Tutorial site is now up. Written by VA RogueWing,
it shows detailed steps on how to create new custom missions for XWA. Each
step includes pictures for easy reference. This site was written for people
who have never done any mission editing before, and should be fairly easy to
follow. It can be found at http://www.minos.net/~immortal/noob/index.html

Emperor's Hammer Mission Compendium hits 3000 missions online!!!
12:54 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@go2.pl]
I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. And now, my dream
came true. 10 minutes ago, I have added 3000th mission to our mission
compendium, and we have achieved another great milestone: 3000 missions
online. Since I took over the TAC, I have set TAC3K as my primary objective.
And, after 6 months, I have finally achieved it. Of course it would not be
possible without hard work and dedication of entire Tactical Staff, and
Tactical Officers before me. I would like to thank the following people:
Former Tactical Officer: SA Kawolski and HA Striker, FA Starlion
Former Tactical Coordinators: Drako, Gord Darkonian, Tissaya Argat, Mark
Schueler, Pellaeon, Enahropes, CrazyR2 (and all those I forgot)
My Tactical Staff: Philo, Styles, Apophis Kuma and Master (your cookies are
inbound)
And all people who supported me by testing and correction and of course
submitting new battles and free missions
I really appreciate your hard work and I herby set another goal for my
office: TAC5K! When will we hit it? I have no idea. It took me 6 months to
release 700 missions, so we will see. And now, let's celebrate!!!! Drinks on
me!!!
New battles and free missions
12:47 - AD Marcin Szydlowski [pbmike@klub.chip.pl]

FO's History Competition
14:35 - HA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
I noticed the other day my lack of an Imperial Pilot Navy Record (INPR). Now
I know I wrote one many moons ago under the constant bugging of my then
CMDR, General Sasquatch (now Elite Omega CMDR), but finding it proved
unsuccessful. So rather than rewriting it, I thought it might be interesting
to get members of the TIE Corps to submit their own versions, with awards
going for the best entries.
Submissions can be serious or humorous, the only criteria is that they be in
good taste and have a good amount of content. Send them attached as either
.doc or .txt files to spellfire@btinternet.com by July 13th. After this I'll
decide on the winning entry and post all submissions for viewing.

takes over the reigns of Wing XIII as it's Wing Commander!
