Gold Squadron Newsletter - July 2014
Gold Squadron Newsletter
July 24, 2014
=== CO's Ramble ===
Greetings, gents. It's long past time for me to get the newsletters rolling again, so here we go.
We've got a few news items to cover. First, we've just received a new member, Cadet Bami Tsunami! Welcome to Gold, Cadet!
That leads us to our second bit of news: our XO, jcmcgoo, accepted the role of Gold's Training Officer last month to orientate new members in how the RS operates. Thank you, Colonel.
Third, you've probably already seen the news about our formerly newest member, BlueLeader, producing three whole tours for the original X-Wing. For such outstanding effort I've promoted him twice and nominated him for the Alvace Star, which Command saw fit to award a couple days ago. Excellent work, BlueLeader, and congratulations!
Lastly, the Activities section below has been updated a bit to account for link changes and the addition of the increasingly popular X-Wing Miniatures, which Nicolai has dived into with gusto. For those interested in Minis, check the relevant wiki page to get started: http://wiki.rebelsquadrons.org/index.php?title=X-Wing_Miniatures
That wraps up the news for this month. There's one week left in the current session, so get those activities reported!
Go for the Gold!

-----
X-Wing Miniatures - This particular activity has really picked up over the summer. There's a page on the wiki detailing how to get started with the game, penned mainly by our own COL Nicolai Ginofev. http://wiki.rebelsquadrons.org/index.php?title=X-Wing_Miniatures
Simming - http://rpg.rebelsquadrons.org/
Flight sims, Empire at War, and The Old Republic - http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/gaming
Multiplayer - Play matches of any game you can provide a screenshot of the results for, but at least two members of the RS must participate in the match to qualify. http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/multiplayer/mp_non_comp
Fiction - Rules are in the section below.
= Fiction Writing =
This is a permanent activity for whenever you feel the inkling to write. The only limitation is that it must be Star Wars-related.
The fiction must be at least 300 words, but can otherwise be as long as you want. You'll receive a point for each piece of fiction you write. These rules are subject to change if the official fiction rules are ever sorted out.
There's no specific forum section for general fiction writing at present, so you can post your fiction in the General forum: http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=2
=== Closing ===
That's all for now. Go for the Gold!
