For some reason or another when I gave you all the PoC for meeting attendence. You were awarded the LC. Dont worry this will be Fixed.
I'd like to call your collective attentions to http://www.galactic-conquest.com/ It's an excellent SW mod for Battlefield 1942 (better than SW:Battlefront, I believe).
If you own BF1942, or if you can pick it up cheaply (it's on cheap release in the EU, certainly), then you may want to check it out.
I'm also going to be trying to stir up some MP-type activity over the next few weeks. I'll keep you all posted, but needless to say- get in touch if you're interested.
After a fierce struggle over the azure skies of Korriban, the Sovereign team has emerged victorious! Decimating the ATF's first wave, they forced their opposing team into a swift retreat, inflicting minor damage on the fleeing ships while securing their position in orbit. This means that the Sovereign team will now have captured the planet at the end of Turn 5.
However, thanks to their Single Player results, the ATF team has managed to save enough points to ensure that a TIE Advanced squadron was saved from the onslaught. Well done to the ATF Pilots. The full details of the losses inflicted on both sides can be seen on the War Office site.
I thought I'd release some statistics from the war game so far:
Number of TIE SP submissions: 50 (who said TIE was dead?)
Number of XvT SP submissions: 34
Number of Battles: 3 (Ryloth, Mon Calamari & Korriban)
Number of participating MP Pilots: 14
Number of losses: M/FRG (x1), E/S (x2), ATR (x7), FRG (x1), TRN (x1), CRCK (x1), DREAD (x2), STRCK (x2), VSD (x2), T/F (x24), T/B (x36), T/A (x87), T/D (x97)
War is expensive.
VA Gidda has decided to start accepting applications for the position of Avenger Squadron Commander from now in order to avoid a lack of leadership in the ASF Elite squadron when GN Nightmare will transfer to Reserves at the end of this month.
Candidates must have passed the SM/3 course (preferred: MP and AMP). They must know very well the multiplayer aspects of XvT and/or XWA and of course they must be active multiplayer pilots themselves. Other than that it is required a fast email response time, the ability to work with other ASF Officers for the creation of multiplayer events and no HCI convictions whatsoever in your record.
If you met those requirements and if you think to be the right person for the job send your application to BGCOM Gidda including a brief list of activities you would run as new AES CMDR.

TIE TC 224 and XvT TC 116 have been released at a mission compendium near you! Go and have a look.
Any beta testing files can be sent to me directly.
Following some accounting problems with the host Brinkster (a good reason not to use them), the Freeworlds forums have gone down. However, Gumba has set up some temporary ones: http://gs.kurbaga.com/
You will have to register again but unlike the other forums, it's pretty much instant. If anyone has any information from the old forums saved - particularly user lists for the EH, please email me.

Also, LT Danel has submitted the most submissions to the Tactical Office during the month of May, his Palpatine Crescent is on route!
After the initial blaze of action that kicked off the game, things have quietened down. The only event of note that took place in Turn 4 - a small ASF ship was seen emerging from hyperspace around the orbit of Kamino, currently an unclaimed planet (worth 4 victory points). The current standings are:
Sovereign: 16
ASF: 8
ATF: 6
Sith: 6
TCBGs: 4
I will be on leave until the 5th. However, please continue to send NL submissions during my leave. I will read them when I return.
After careful review of all of the applications, I have chosen my new CA. I will first say that there were some very good, very qualified officers who have shown interest in this position.
Without further ado, I would like to announce that AD Proton has been chosen as the new CA:FO. His e-mail address is hullbreach@gmail.com . Very important that he now get all the reports as he will be the new report monkey for the Flight Office.
Thanks again to all that applied.
I've created a new message board for the posting of all TC open positions. This being from Commanderspots to Coms. It will be the one place where everyone can go to see whats open, and the requirements.
Please start using it for any open positions!
