Continue recruiting my friends and WC Nightmare was right in saying a BIG comp is on it's way (insert evil laugh) AD Proton of the SOV has accepted my challenge and we shall be flying against a wing or 2 or the whole ship hehehehe, more details when i get them.

Deadline for the Website comp is tomorrow, but i will be extending it.

Until next week, fly, drink beer, have fun, communicate & flood you MB's and drink more beer (unless your not old enough then drink the soft drink of your choice:)



SickMan's words of the week = No that was the wrong button, you've hit the self destruction button, in my last few seconds of existense i would like to tell you that you smell like a wookiee's armpit and you were obviously spawned from one night stand between a ewok and a bantha.


NOTE to CMDR's, please remember to forward this to your pilots

TIE95 Fix For EHBL Users Running Windows 2000/XP
07:21 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
Because, without a fix, TIE95 don't run on XP ans 2K anyway it also doesn't when you install EHBL (even if you have already "fixed it").
CM Lenvik has made a guide on how to fix this problem however and its available at: http://www.minos.net/~lenvik/tie952kxp.htm

Give it a try.

I've uploaded the 2 newest Newsletters to my archive at http://lo.cosmicholonet.org/nls. The new Newsletters as well as all previous issues are available for download in ZIP format. Enjoy!

Tactical Directive #2 - EHBL
13:34 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
Starting November 1st, 2003, every Emperor's Hammer pilot is ordered to use Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher. Any High Scores achieved without EHBL will be rejected. Until November you have time to report any bugs and EHBL problems to SCO and TAC, so we will fix them quickly.

Emperor's Hammer Battle Launcher Released!
07:22 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
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.

Project Shield is over
11:13 - FA Marcin Szydlowski [tac@emperorshammer.org]
Yes. I have completed Project Shield. All links have been updated. We now wait for XO to add software download to admin section and then you will see what Shield is.
