Hi folks,

it's that time again, when the Cyber Punks CTF team finishes a
game and goes on the lookout for new or experienced CTF pilots to enter the
arena with us.

This time around we are fresh from a successful game against one of
the best teams in the arena - The Centurions.  They were declared the
winners after both sides scored Victory Ratings of 1.78, but in reality we
won by a margin of 0.003.

We are partialy suffering from our own success as we now have
more pilots on our roster than can enter a single arena so we are looking
to boost the number to enable us to field 2 teams simultaneously.  One of
those teams will enter a normal game, the other has a far more exciting
prospect ahead.  Pheonix Command (the only other people to beat the
Centurions) are suffering from their reputation at the moment, no one wants
to face them in the arena.  The have made an offer to Harlequin (who run CTF
in the UK) that they will fight a game with half the number of bots than
their opposition.  Harlequin have asked me to attempt to put together a
group of players who would like to take up this challenge.

So if you have a CTF pilot who isn't currently a member of a team,
or if you were planning on setting up a pilot in this great game please
contact me for more details.

For those who do not know of the game, CTF is a game of arena
combat.  You create a pilot who enters the combat arena in a fighting robot.
Various robots are available from 30 tons up to huge 90 ton behemoths.  The
game has simple rules and orders but this allows you to concentrate on the
tactical part of the game.  CTF is won on tactics and coordination, as can
be seen by our last game, we had half the number of games experience in our
pilots yet we out scored our opposition.  If you play PBM and haven't yet
had a go at CTF, you ought to.
