Celebrations!
     Yesterday, I've reached few career milestones. First, after over 3 years in Emperor's Hammer, I've finally gathered 3000 FCHG points, what makes me 2 pilot to achieve this rank, and only CS member to do so.
     Next thing: 1000 HSs processed since I took over position of Tactical Officer. This means I've manualy checked over 1000 pilot files. And more coming every week.
     But I always try to prove myself something, I've set more goals for me. First of all, 1000 CR points, this means I will have to fly a lot Multi Player, and next thing, 50 battle created. When I will reach them, someday I will think about more goals.

New battles and free missions!
     TCC:XvT is back in action, so I've released some XvT/BoP missions and battles. Also, we have released some XWA stuff what makes us even closed to 3000 missions online, what will be nice achievements. In other news, Project Exterminator is back to action, and we are finishing all corrections. I think I will close project tomorrow and award my staff.

Patch for TAC
     Yes! Thanks to SCO Ender, I will have my personal fighter (Alpha Class XG-2 Modified Assault Gunboat, called Mike's GUN) ready very soon. Beta version of patch confirms it brings the whole new meaning of Gunboat. It will be limited to my person, so if you want to use it in your battle, you will have to place me flying it.

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.
     What's great we should have few visitors from other countries. Frey, Ender, Tarkin, Gutt, maybe more. This meeting will rock like never before. Also, I am writing article for EH news as we speak, so it should be on GA's desk very soon. :)

Tactical Manual 3.0 - back to work
     I've had some more important duties recently, but I'm back to work at TACMan 3.0. A lot of things have to be changed, but I guess I will finish around April. It's a hell of work, but it's worth :)

Cheating cases:
     Noone has been sent to HCI this week, and it's very good. I'm doing some research on TIE and I should have full results very soon. Still there are some pilots being observed, but nothing serious at the moment. As soon as Sovereign League starts, I should have more work to do.

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
