Retribution Fleet NL 02/15/03
======================

R2F 708 Special Announcement
=======================
This mission isn't working how it is supposed to, but it is beatable. No I'm not going to tell you how to beat it. But Since so many people are having problems with it I am going to do something a little different with scoring.

-The mission will be considered complete if the only missing goal is Cort EoM has arrived. But you must send the screen shot of page 2 where it says how many goals were completed. To take a screenshot in TF hit alt+o. It will put a bmp file in the root tie directory called tiescreen# (# will be the screenshot number).
-Anyone who actually passes the mission (.tfr file will be needed as always) will receive an addition 10,000 points on their score

New R2F Squadrons
==============
We are considering starting three new squadrons in the R2F. One is a Narrative writing, an XvT and an XWA. Shortly after this NL you should receive three pieces of mail which is a poll for oyur opinion on these three squadrons. Please vote by following the instructions in the mail. Also please feel free to share your comments on this idea to me or any other member of the fleet command staff or on this mailing list.

Mission Testers
============
For the next tour we are going to need mission testers so we do not have missions that are not of a higher quality. If you are interested contact me at CHornJr@nyc.rr.com.

===============
The new Intel Co is Commander Argon Viper
The new Hellfire Squadron CO is Colonel Nichos Katran
