Mid-point of Imperial Storm IV

Yes, we have reached the mid-point, turn 15 of 30. So far all teams have played rather cautions, with only one small skirmish (a Corvette on the Sovereign side was pounced on by an entire Battlegroup!). The last few days have seen lots of sightings of enemies, so I expect some battles real soon. Keep looking for more details as they come.

Old battles

After long discussion with Fleet Commander, we have agreed to place old .zips on one of the mirrors. They are all located at: http://battles.tiecorps.net/old/. All people who have EHBL problems can download them now

But. This mirror is going offline at 1st January 2004, so after that time you will only have .ehm files and you WILL HAVE TO use EHBL. You have 3.5 months to solve any EHBL problems you encounter. Mail TAC, SCO, CA:SCO and we will help you.

So. You have .zips back, make EHBL working on your computers, and .zips are going offline on January 1st.

Roster Stuff

Okay guys, the roster stuff is probably 90% done, if you check the website everyone is in the units and stuff. But some people may have been fubared and left in Home Guard or put in the wrong place. Please try and find yourself on the roster and if you are somewhere you shouldn't be, email me at pfccypret2001(at)yahoo.com. DCs and CCs email your new people and let them know what's going on, be sure to CC me in these emails. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be lost and not know what to do.

Wing Commander for Wing XI sought...

FA Cyric

12 October, 2003 12:44
11 ABY
With the promotion of RA BubbaX to the position of Relentless COM, I am now accepting applications for the position of Wing XI WC. All applications must be titled "Application for Wing XI WC" and should be sent to myself( kevinsetzer@aol.com ) and AD Krak Tarnisar (krax_tarnisar@yahoo.com ) Below are the listed requirements.

  • Must have held a successful tour as a CMDR for at least 4 months
  • No HCI convictions ever for Conduct Unbecoming
  • Familiarity with XWA (TIE and XvT as well preferably)
  • Familiarity with the ISD Immortal Ship Standing Orders (found at the Immortal website)
  • Significant IRC prescence
  • Quick email and admin accountability
  • Desire, knowledge and responsibility of and for running internal competitions

A serious commitment to the quality of Wing XI, the Immortal, and to making it a productive, active environment while still promoting fun and enjoyment is a must!

More than anything, a desire to work as a team unit. I will not accept any applicant who has a history of soloing, pulling lone ranger tactics, or going over, around, or even surprising their superiors.

Applicants must provide 1 reference (who cannot be myself or Krax) who is willing to answer questions about yourself
All applicants must be willing (though only the top 2 or 3 applicants will be subjected to) an IRC interview.
Please also include ideas, goals, and what you believe you bring to this Wing that could take it to the top (as well as anything about yourself you think I'd like to know. Don't worry about length, if you've got a lot to say, that's fine, long as it's substantial.)

Tough requirements? Yes, but BubbaX was quite the excellent WC, and thus I'm used to working with the best without any problems, and that's how I'd like to keep it. Applications will no longer be accepted a week from when this post is placed on EH.net

Obelisk Order 6th Anniversary

AD Darknyte

I recieved this from MAA Khaen, and while it's not TC specific it is a major milestone in the EH and quite relevant to the club as a whole, so his email is as follows:

::BOW:: & SALUTE

Greetings, sirs and colleagues (whichever applies).

You may or may not be aware that today, the 9th of October, marks the 6th Anniversary of the Dark Brotherhood's Obelisk Order. It was officially opened on this day in 1997 by Obelisk High Commander Blazer, to coincide with the release of Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight.

To commemorate this event, I have put together a site with a brief look at the history of the order, a complete listing of all Obelisk High Commanders and GMRG Commanders of the Guard to date, and a selection of interesting files, documents, and images from the Order's long past.

The site is located at http://o6.minos.net. GA Ronin, you may want to post this link on the EH news center.

I hope you enjoy browsing through this 'museum display' as much as I did delving into the fascinating past of my Order. :P

Thanks.

Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher Released!

AD Ender mBind

02 October, 2003 07:22
11 ABY
After years of being in the planning and now about 10 months of work the Tactical Office and Science Office are very proud to announce the release of the "Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher" - probably the most elaborate piece of software to ever come out of the Emperor's Hammer and one that will most definitely change your flying experience completely.

The Launcher installs battles for you with a single click, launches the games and adds the basic patches used in our missions, like the "Fly All" patch for TIE Fighter. It also prevents cheating by editing mission files, which has been a problem for the Tactical Office since the beginning of this club.

  • This is now available for download once you log in to the Administration Area of the database.
  • Usage is easy: After you have installed EHBL, Download battle.ehm, click it to install the battle and press the button of whatever game you want to play.
  • If you have any, report bugs on the EHBL thread on the EH messageboard or to TAC or SCO. We're also available for regular help of course.
  • Read more about it at http://www.emperorshammer.org when its updated.
