[CM_Gilad] Why is it when you're holding all the cards everyone decides to play chess?

Tactical Office Poll #2
     Week ago I've asked you what kind of activity/thing you would like to see more from my office. Here are results of this poll:

• More battles and missions - 8 votes
• More competitions - 6 votes
• More gaming platforms - 4 votes
• More subgroup battles - 4 votes
• Plotlines compendium - 2 votes
• Tutorials database - 3 votes

New patches
     Yes! We have a lot of new patches released by SCO. A lot stuff for XvT, BoP will follow soon. We have TIE Experimental M/1 or Corelian Gunship. I'm going to personally use some of them

Subgroup battles and JK compendium
     Expanding missions compendium is one of my core duties. New TIE/XvT/BoP and XWA missions come every week and we have more and more of them. But I think it's time to give more missions to other SGs, not only Tie Corps. I have few games in mind. First we could add JK used by DB and HF. Then I am also thinking about Star Wars Conversions or Star Trek Armada. Screenshots can be found here. They look outstanding and since I have Armada myself I am going to test it, and see if I can find any mission editors or pilot file viewers. Since it's not flight sim, it won't be used by Tie Corps, but other SGs may benefit from it.
     Another game is Homeworld Cataclysm. I've seen great SW conversion of this game. Another game for Subgroups.      And if SCO will ever finish his AGI game, we will be able to add this to mission compendium. So it's worth trying, cause our Mission Compendium will be multi-platform, not only flight sims oriented.

TCC:XvT back to action
     Yes! TCC:XvT is back to action after solving his computer problems. You can already see few battles relesed. More will follow very soon. Of course don't forget about sending your battles to me. We need to hit 3K! That's our goal for now. :)

EH Poland Meeting III
     Yes, it's February now, and it's time to start thinking about EH Poland Meeting III. It's great chance to meet EH pilots, have some fun, drink beer and have some MP matches :) Place is great, located 30km south from city of Bialystok (200km east from polish capital city of warsaw). We have swimming pool, it's inside the woods and it looks great. You don't believe it? Check out pictures from last two meetings. They are in EH Image Archive.
     I hope Ender and Tarkin will arrive as promised ;) And also I heard that Gutt is going to join us. So this will be great meeting. Remember: July 2003 :) Cya there.

New battles and missions
     I've released some XWA stuff and some XvT. One TIE Free missions. Soon I should give you more. Go and check first BoP-DB battle :)

Testers fired
     I've removed few people from Tactical roster today, and I won't hesitate to remove more. I won't tolerate slacking and laziness in my office. Go and become lazy somewhere else. If you cannot test 1 battle per week, then you are in danger. If you cannot test 1 battle in 2 weeks, then you are fired. Plain and simple
     I don't want battles to sit in database longer than 2 months, so forget about being lazy. You can earn Silver Star here.

TAC Webpage
     Thanks to great work of Captain Drako, we have Tactical Office webpage running at http://www.emperorshammer.net/tac/newpage. I am working on some scripts while CPT Drako is working on graphics. I am going to buy domain and account for Tactical use. It will prolly happen in April, so stay tuned for more news.

Cheating cases:
     Some investigations have been finished. CPT Mikkel Filla has his medal removed due to BSF error. LT Kay Lyons has been gives some time to FW his move to Tactical Office. Failure to do so will result in sending evidence to HCI
     I am also going to watch Sovereign Squadron League in order to prevent cheating, so if you think you can cheat there then you are wrong. All major EH competitions will be observed by TAC, so you can forget about cheating.

Final word:
     My office is always open, and you can find me on IRC. Don't hesitate to ask or mail me. Visit Tactical channel #tac and ask question there. Cya next week
