Introduction
    
Hello Emperor's Hammer.
    
I am back from EH Poland Meeting III and I must say I am happy and disappointed. I am happy with overall
atmosphere and fun we had. But very disappointed with place owner and people's presence. Thanks to owner
we had to start one week earlier, and thing forced some people to resign from arriving to as. Also, we had
medium weather and we had to return on Sunday (we planned Monday). Very few people joined us: nIKA (my fiance),
me, Jonny, Wiesio, DrDiablo (most wanted), Keiran Laserlight, Marcin Kaczynski and Ann, his fiance. Not much, compared
to EHPLM 2.
    
Now, I am back from leave, but busy and with huge backlog of small things. I have released some battles and
missions, but I still need to update Tactical roster, fire some lazy testers, update TacDB and do other small
duties. I have processed all High Scores so no delays there.
Tactical Officer back from leave
    
Yes, I am back but busy. Still use email to contact me, cause my IRC presence is pretty random.
Mission Creation Corner
    
Special thanks to TCC:XvT for his tips :)
        
One thing to note when designing mission messages. In order to ensure your messages come out at the right moment,
you should test your new mission each time you add atleast 2 messages. Go over those messages carefully and make
sure all settings are correct. Because you don't want a fighter message coming out when, say a FRG enters
the play arena.
        
Make sure your messages are coded the right color to match the purpose. Make sure the condition in which
the message appears is set to when its supposed to show, as well as the proper delay time. When setting
the delay time you can do this by using the up and down arrows. Just remember that it goes in 5 second increments.
Tactical Manual v3.0 - 20% done
    
My CA, RA Philo has grammar-checked chapter 2. When I will finish with 3, I will send it to him.

Tactical Office Person of the Week:
        
This week Abel Malik is PotW, as recommended by TCC:XWA
        
Was hard to nominate a Pilot of the Week this week, but in the end i had to
make a choice, so my pick is Abel Malik, he makes his return from computer
problems which took him out for some time, and within two days of coming
back all his back-logged assignments were done as well as the new ones i had
assigned.
        
Excellent work Malik.

Final word:
    
Because I am very busy these days, use email to contact me. I am barely visible on IRC, so don't try to catch me
there, but you can try of course. I always try to check my mail, once a day, sometimes more :P
