XvT Week of War XLVI Results
XvT Week of War ended Friday, and we had great turnout!

The top three EH pilots were:
1. COL Tarkin
2. LT Heinrich Margul
3. GN Kaerner

As a club, it was our biggest war yet in terms of games and players. Good job everyone!

Cheating policy update
Some changes about mission skipping. From now, skipping missions is strictly forbidden, various abuses led me to this decision.

Skipping Missions

You are not allowed to skip a mission in a battle whatever the reason is. All missions of a battle must be completed. You are not to use the ingame 'skipping mission' option of X-Wing Alliance. If you encounter a battle that has a fatal bug in it that prevents you from playing the rest of the battle, you cannot edit your pilot file to skip the mission. If you encounter a fatal bug, fill out a Bug Report on the Battle Center to explain why you could not finish a mission, and save a backup of your pilot file so you can finish the battle after it has been repaired. Skipping missions may lead to have the batle removed from your combat profile.

ISB's Future & CA:SO
After the recent departure of my CA, now GMF Keldorn... I have taken the step of looking actively for a new one. ISB have been notified already and been asked to submit any plans they want... The job description will be to run ISB smoothly and effectively, whilst contributing to general juditial findings. The position shall be similar in power to the former SEC. Here's a quick run-down of what I'll expect from my new Director of Imperial Security (DIS).

- Clean Disiplinary Record
- Mature attitude
- Good Knowledge of the majority of the EH subgroups
- Minimum of 1 years membership in the EH
- Minimum rank of CM (MAJ for current non-ISB members)
- Minimum of an hours online time every day, more at weekends
- Ability to be flexible
- Proven record of management and activity
- Plan for the development of ISB
- Experience in Intelligence/Security (such as INTEL would be advantageous but not required)

Deadline for applications is 6th May 2002, EST 00:00

Imperial Storm Battles
Turn 3 of Imperial Storm. The BGCOMs continue their "turf war" while the Command Staff is away. Forces from the Battlegroups have conquered a new Planet, giving them an edge on production. Elsewhere Battlegroup vessels have encountered Ships from the Sovereign Group, and seperately, the ATF. Can the Battlegroups knock the Sov out of First place? Will the ATF survive until next week? Find out on Monday April 29th. As always details are at the Official IS3 Site. If you are a stationed on the Sov, in the Battlegroups, or in the ATF, and do not know what to do, ask your Commanding Officer.

Promotions
Many congratulations go out to the Wing Commander of Wing X, Colonel Mairin. who has been promoted to the coveted rank of General. Since her appointment to WC, Mairin's work has been tireless in supporting and building her Wing. Congrats Mai!
Also congrats go out to the new Wing VIII WC, Colonel Indaro Gallia. A long standing member of the Wing, I'm sure the Colonel will prove to be a fine choice for Wing Commander.

New Battles Mirror
Thanks to the efforts of Primarch Koral of the BHG, the TIE Corps now has a new battles mirror. It's available as the first link when you view a battle. Also, in order to even out the downloads for all the mirrors, I'd ask that if you link to a battle for a competition, please link to the battle's page (with the download link) rather than directly to the battle's zip file itself. Thanks.

New Training Manual URL
The Training Manual has moved location. You can now access it at http://www.emperorshammer.net/to/manual/. It has been updated with the latest medal and rank images too.

New Falcon Commander

Due to Armus stepping down as Falcon CMDR, a new person was appointed, CM Nicolaas Vlieghe. He comes highly reccommended by Armus. I think Nicolaas has more COL's backing him up then the rest of the Battlegroups.

EH: Galaxy Quest
Tis a new game that has recently started up around the EH. It is called Galaxy Quest. It is very cool. You control a planet and develop an Empire! It is located at http://www.kweeky.net/galaxy

Ranger defeats Spectre
Ranger represented Wing XI very well by kicking some major A$$ against Spectre. They had an average score of 4175, while Spectre's score was 1462. Good job guys, you make us all proud.

Actors Needed!
MAJ Roguewing needs some voice actors for a mission he is making. If you would like to contribute your voice to his project, e-mail him directly at roguewing25@yahoo.com

TTT Program
Due to the outburst by CM Jene Starwind on the egroups this week :) this is a reminder about Tempest Tailoring Tool, it can be found at http://www.ehnet.org/~ttt/
Wing Orders

WC's Own Competition

As copied from my last report:
"Yes it is time for the first of many WC's own competitions under me tenure. The mission is Free-XWA 63. The highest overall average of the squadron will be the deciding factor. But there is one catch to this competition. In this competition each squadron will submit a WC's own banner along with their average scores. The winning banner will get the squadron an additional 1000 points added to their average score. All submissions are due in my inbox by May 4th."
So far I have two banner's that have been submitted and they are pretty darn good. I can't wait to the rest of the submissions.
WC Challenge

Everyone has 2 weeks to break as many high scores as possible. So far many of you have done quite well. ISM for 5 scores, and a PC for 15 that are broken. The deadline to break all the scores is next Tuesday.

COM's ISD Immortal Banner Competition

The deadline is May 7th 2002.The best Submission recieves a Iron Star - Silver Ribbon, and the 2nd Best Submission recieves an Iron Star - Bronze Ribbon. Send all submissions to Darksaber@ehnet.org
