* I have been having trouble keeping the 4th SR server running. I
appreciate your patience. For a while I set it up as restricted to
Battletech 3025 elements -- no clanner stuff, and the simple, limited
chasses and components and weapons of the BT3035 era. If anyone is
interested in holding a BT3025 event, let me know.
* In our last event, we defeated the 17th SR. As yet no more regimental
matches are set. However, we have a TWL match at 11:30 p.m. Saturday,
4/19.
* Our unit practices have been scheduled weekly at these times: 8:30
p.m.
Eastern Thursday and 10 a.m. Eastern Sunday. Several 4th Rangers and
some
of our fellow MechWarriors attended both of our initial practices this
week. Many kills were made, etc. Our practices normally are held in the
Skye Rangers 4th Open server on the Zone.
* We have challenged the 17th Skye Rangers to a regimental duel! Here
are
the details I have proposed to the 17th RCOM:
-----
Greetings, HPT-GEN Cybersolo,
The 4th Skye Rangers challenges the 17th Skye Rangers to a combat
engagement!
Proposed details:
* The 4th will drop onto Summer to attack the 17th near its base.
* The following maps will be used in the drop: SandDunes, Tumbleweed and
Paradise.
* We'll use the same rules as TWL drops (7 respawns, three rounds if
needed, etc.).
* Suggested times: 9:30 eastern Friday, April 4; 9:30 eastern Saturday,
April 5; or 10 a.m. eastern Sunday, April 6.
* If neither team is able to field 5 mechwarriors for the drop, smaller
equal numbers will carry out the combat (such as, 3x3, 2x2, 4x4).
* Winning regiment of the competition will gain the honorary title
"Summer's Swords" and will hold the honor until such time as it loses it
in a repeat engagement with another Skye Rangers line unit.

Gallows transferred in from the 17th SR and assumed command of the crack
4th Skye Rangers, a battle-steeled unit with a storied history of
combat in the Lyran Commonwealth. Gallows held an initial briefing and
immediately heard from these members of the 4th: Jadua, Hunter, Ibram
Gaunt and Eddy. Times for weekly practices were discussed. Effective
immediately, these two times are set for 4th SR practices: 8:30 p.m.
eastern time Thursday and 10 a.m. eastern time Sunday.
