I realize now that I made a minor mistake in all of this medal re-awarding. Everything has gone more than perfectly but for the Commendations of Loyalty that were added this year. I awarded some, but not all of them, and this has created a problem. So, I ask that all COM/WC duos send to ops@emperorshammer.org the listings of all their pilots that are owed CoLs, and I will add them into the database. PINs are always helpful. Please try not to double-award CoLs, because as we all know this is just something that will have to be reversed. Thanks in advance for cooperation!

Go support the EH in XWA Week of War at Battlestats.com and the Zone. Defeat the evil and unruly zone clubs in an effort to prove the EH the dominant Zone XWA Force :p

There's a new survey up relating to mailing lists/groups. It's asked about whether you would use roster-integrated mailing lists/groups.

Just to clarify the language used in the question, there are already "mailing lists" available for CMDRs and above, which are just generated lists of email addresses. What the latest survey question is relating to is having an egroup-style mailing list/group based upon your current TIE Corps position. For example, members of Alpha squadron would be on the mailing group alphasquadron@ehtiecorps.org (or whatever name it would have).

It can happen that after you install a battle via EHBL, you still get the last battle you played (or the original battle 1) - in these cases the .EHM file is missing the battle1.lfd file (or corresponding .lst ones for XvT and XWA) so the game cannot find your newly installed missions.
May you encounter this, don't panic: just post a bug report saying "missing .lfd or .lst file"(unless one has already been posted on the subject) and TAC will fix it as soon as possible.
iirc You are also still allowed to make your own .lfd or .lst files pointing to the right missions, so you can still fly the affected missions if you really want. :)

With the Promotion of Gelton Torr as GM, It is my pleasure to announce the promotion of Abel Malik to the Commander position of Praetorian!

Good luck Major!

I've just released one battle and one free mission, something for TIE players:

• TIE-FCHG #6
• TIE-FREE #248

Have fun!

Due to database loss, we've had only offline version available. Now it's been fixed, and you can pass this course online. Also, if you are missing this course on your profile, email either me or Traning Officer, RA Drako.

I have returned from my brief LoA. You can read all about it in the latest COO report. Please continue emailing Admiral Khadgar with missing LoC information for the next few days until I completely return!

Once again we are pleased to release new battles. Here they are:

• XvT-TC #93-98
• BoP-FREE #31

Enjoy

X-Wing vs TIE Fighter Week of War started again today! Details and score reporting are at Battlestats. Actual matches take place on The Zone. Have fun and if you need help, please try the Combat Operations Office Site or mail me at khadgar1@shaw.ca.

An update regarding the Combat Operations Office medal process: A number of people have sent me LoCs, which I have processed. I also went through the Battlegroup rosters and submitted DFC awards for pilots who are currently active. At this point, I will accept missing LoC counts from individual pilots. However, please only mail in DFC counts if you are not in a Battlegroup. If you are in a Battlegroup, your DFC(s) are pending OPS approval.

Tactical Office is proud to announce you, another great competition, Mission Creation Wars. Competition starts June 1st, so I will quickly remind you about it.

Rules:
First phase - groups. They all get plotlines and create battles. Best battles win and they proceed. Next round is cup style and there can be only one :)

Awards:
GS, SS, BS - yes, you can win it. + MoTs and CoSs. So that's something worth fighting for.

Applications:
Send them to me and cc my CA:TAC.

TAC Office announces that bugs have been fixed for TIETC 15,20,21,22,128 and we will continue to fix all other bugs reported.

For their help with the TIE CORPS Roster Crash and their greatly appreciated assistance in gathering the appropriate information so the reprocessing could be completed as fast as it was, the following awards were issued:

VA Khadgar, ASF BGCOM, was promoted to the rank of Admiral
VA Reaper, CA:FO, was promoted to the rank of Admiral
AD Mell, TIEBGCOM, Was submitted for a medal
AD Sarin, COO, Was submitted for a medal
VA Anthol, Former ATF BGCOM, was submitted for a medal
Medals will be issued when the OPS approves them

I have also asked the BGCOM's to award medals where appropriate to all memebers who have made the processing go smoothly.

The DNS changes for emperorshammer.net appear to have filtered through the Internet, meaning the domain will now point to the new server.

AD Sarin is currently on leave. Therefore, all flag officers submitting missing Legion of Combat or Distinguished Flying Cross awards may submit them to me at khadgar1@shaw.ca. I will also do my best to answer any questions or concerns relating to the Combat Operations Office.

Once again we started to release battles. First is small package containing the following:

• XW-CAB #1
• XW-FCHG #1
• SWGB-DIR #1

More will follow, but you must understand I have to find balance between FCHG restoration, new battles and HSs processing :)

The Emperor's Hammer Ship Patches for TIE, XvT and BoP make a full backup of all important files in those games upon installation. This means that you can use it to restore your game installation might you have screwed that up in some way:

After you've newly installed TIE, XvT or BoP and installed any needed update patches (like 1.14 for XvT) install EHSP into a permanent folder ([Game folder]/EHPatch for example.) and keep it installed.
To restore your fresh install of the game: uninstall EHSP, reinstall it, and its all fine again... which saves you having to reinstall the game from CD again.

The new Commodore of the ISD Subjugator has been chosen. Please congrat RA TK-7764 !

This left the position of Wing XX Wing Commander open. Here as new wing Commander MAJ Archangel has been appointed.

Both Officers have have done a great work so far and I wish them all the best in their new positions !

I realize there are probably about 1000 medals missing because of the database loss. The good news is that a couple of smart COMs already re-submitted these medals today, so we're on our way to getting these medals back. COMs/WCs: One of you from each wing is to re-submit the lost medals back into the database. It is up to you how you want to do this (compile them from CMDRs, automated e-mails, etc.), as long as you don't submit the old medals more than once and cause some backlog problems. It is also up to you whether or not you wish to include the old recommendation, but make sure to put as the last line "Due to Database Loss", so I'll be able to tell new medals from old ones. Thanks for the cooperation, and hopefully we'll be able to work through this quickly.

Also, for those of you who have been personally e-mailing me with your lost medals, unless it's a rare case where it's a Command Staffer or BGCOM, these mailings should go to your CMDR and on to the COM so they can be resubmitted into the database. This is the easiest and most efficient way.

Thanks a bunch.

TIE_BHG #3 has been fixed!

the LFD file was missing and has now been added back into the ehm file. So TIE should not crash now

Plese congratulate VA TK 2107, former COM of the ISD Subjugator on being named the new BGCOM for the Avenger Task Force.

I wish him luck!
