For the first time in History, the Emperor´s Hammer won WoW for the month of the November!!! Something never done by EH. Our first big win in a BSC Comp.
Also of note, all games were played by ASF Pilots and that Avenger Squadron pilot MAJ Ace was our best pilot and placed in an Amazing 3º Place Overall.
Outstanding accomplishments and hopefully we'll see more of this in the future!
Thanks to AD Darksaber for this information

By order of Grand Admiral Ronin, The Fleet Medical Officer,
Jacob Van Nowak, has been granted the full honor and respect of Full Admiral.

Congratulations!

Statistics report that Nine out of Ten Tie Corps pilots who fly in Battle Stats XWA Week of War live longer than the average pilot. Currently only three Pilots are flying for the EH in this WoW. Please, for your health, go fly XWA at the Zone.

The Emperor's Hammer finished Second out of Ten Clubs participating in this past week's WoW. Avenger Squadron led the way with an overall record of 17 Wins and 3 Losses. Major Girth Snail (8621) led all EH pilots and finished 8th overall with a record of 15 Wins and 2 Losses. This begs the questions, how can a Hutt fit in a Tie Interceptor anyway...

Congrats to MAJ Pickled Yoda for being chosen as the new Wing Commander of Wing XIII, ISD Grey Wolf!

Happy Holidays to everyone in the EH from your hardworking beloved staff in the Flight Office :)

We need more XWA battles. We have only 5 in queue (30 or more in other), so I have decided what follows: everyone who will submit new XWA battle or mission will receive special bonus :)

Go and create something :)

With the promotion of Gilad to COM of the ISD Grey Wolf, the position of WC for Wing XIII is now open. The requirements are as follows:

-Must have completed SM 2 or 3
-Must be able to meet normal WC Duties (BSFs, Wing Reports, so on, so on...)

If you think you have what it takes, please apply to RA Gilad and AD Darksaber.

Battle Stats Presents Xwing vs Tie Fighter's Week of War. Go Play and lay waste to the rabble of the XVT Gaming Universe! The Competition is currently underway and will end at 02:00 PM December 26th. Go Support the EH and win some LoCs!

Finally! Yes, you can click the links and they will work. Go check it out, I'm proud of the design. http://www.ehoperations.com. I'll give anyone who goes and visits the site a free ISM. Unfortunately, as OPS, I will have to deny the medal because it lacks merit.

LC Gilad has been chosen as the next Commodore of the ISD GreyWolf. He has been promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral and given the duties of Commodore!

Former Grey Wolf COM, VA Sarin has been chosen to head the Combat Operations Office. I wish him luck, as he has a tough road to hoe!

Overview
The Communications Officer (COMM) is responsible for the operation of the EH's communication media, such as IRC, message boards, etc. Maintaining ops and ban lists in primary EH channels is a core duty of this position.

Selection Criteria - Essential
1. Good written communication skills.
2. An acceptable level of online presence in online media such as message boards, IRC, etc.
3. Fast email response time.
4. The ability to work with a wide range of EH personnel.

Selection Criteria - Desirable
1. Prior experience in IRC channel management (ie. 400 or higher access)

You must address each criteria with supporting evidence. Simply saying "Yes, I can do that" will not be enough. Include specific examples of your experience. You should meet at least the essential criteria to be considered for the position. You will be expected to perform the core duties of the position to an acceptable level. You must include at least three (3) references. At least one of these must be a former or current superior, preferably current. Ensure you have their permission first, as your application will be seen in a negative light if you have not gained their permission. Applications should be sent to the Fleet Commander and Executive Officer with the subject "Application for Communications Officer".

After a couple of days downtime, the new message boards are now online at the older address, www.ehnet.org/mb/. If you haven't already done so, please register an ELS handle as you'll need one to post on the modified boards. A statement regarding the board downtime, as well as board creation request procedures, is located at the main Emperor's Hammer board.

Questions can be directed to HA Ari or AD Turtle.

RA Phantom has been chosen to head the ISD Challenge. She has a tough road ahead, but AD Krax and myself feel that she is more than capable of leading the Challenge to greater glories!

Here we go! Nearly six months after I should've done this, I'm trying to get all the bugs in the SquadFirst+ software worked out. I've set up a bug tracker at http://ortho.minos.net, and I encourage anyone with a bug to post it. Also, if you've fixed my code, please post a bug report with the buggy code and what you changed. In the end I hope to have a good script that won't have to be changed for a while. Please be sure to include all settings information (i.e. roster level and roster type) so I can properly assess the problem.

RA Sephiroth has stepped down from the COM's chair of the ISD Challenge due to RL Issues. I wish him luck, and hope to see him return soon.

AD Krax will not be accepting applications at present time for the replacement of the ISD Challenge.

Two veteran pilots have new roles aboard the SSSD Sovereign.

Colonel Brian is the new commander of the elite Omega Squadron

Colonel Mini-Minkus has been named commander of Wing IV.

Congratulations to both!

Last week, the EH Library was completed! The EH Library serves as a place to post your fictions, biographies, and EH histories. All submissions are reviewed individually by a "librarian" working for the Internet Office as well as the Logistics Officer. It is our hope that everyone will at one point make use of this service. Thanks to CPT Drako for his hard work on it! You can find it at http://ehlibrary.minos.net.

I have just released new battles

• TIE-FREE #241-243
• TIE-TC #216,217
• XvT-TC #79-81

Have fun!

CA:SO Ziggy has been appointed SO. He had the most appropriate combination of experience and personality for the position. As such, he can now rightfully carry the Bloodied Baton of SOness(tm).

Add your future plans for the wing, and what steps you'll take to encourage recruitment, activity and keep things running smoothly.

As is my usual final note: Flakes, cheaters, resume-padders and anger-management cases need not apply.

So far I'd like to state that the Logistics Staff has been very pleased with the response we've gotten thusfar from the EH Census project.

With that in mind I'd like to remind everyone that new questions are still being added periodically and that we'd greatly appreciate it if participants could make an effort to try to login at least once per week until the Census has been completed.

This will allow all members to answer questions that have been added since they initially took the Census. Already I know we've added around 10-15 questions in various areas, and more are still coming as support for the Census grows and more officers request questions added.

If anyone knows a question that should be added, please email the Logistics Officer with your questions so we can evaluate and add them as needed.

Again, thank you all for making this project a success!
