Tactical Officer Report # 111

Introduction:
Another week has passed and it was not good at all. I've been sick and I am recovering now. Fortunately it's over and I will be able to work once again.

EHBL problems
If you have any problem with running EHBL, mail ME, SCO and CA:TAC and try to be as much specific as you can. We will help you, we always do. .zips are not coming back, but if you need them, you can mail me and ask so I will FW it to you. Use EHBL, it's easy and it's working. Ask for help, and we will find a solution. Stop complaining and give us a chance to help you.

.zips
If you still have problems with EHBL, check above. You can also use our old .zips. I have uploaded them to http://battles.tiecorps.net/old but remember, they are going offline at January 1st, and this time it's final. Complaining to GA Ronin will not help. You have over 2 months to ask for our help, so use it.

Final word:
I have more time now, but still use mail. I am on IRC from time to time and I try to join EH/TC meetings, but sometimes I am unable to do this. Mail me, or my Command Attaché with any questions or simply join #tac and ask your question there. I am sure someone will be able to answer it.
