Introduction:
Life is beautiful. My wife cooks great meals. I sit in from of my PC, drinking beer and flying in WoW. I guess I will have to try FW and IA soon. But now, back to business...

Tactical Office Objectives:
Task:	How to do it?:	% done:
Revise/update/fix the Tactical Manual	Working on chapter 3	12%

Mission Creation Wars - 2004 Edition:
Warm up has started. I've sent basic plotlines to our players. They have 1 month to make a battle. Or rather a bit more until 1 month. I expect great battles to be on my desk no later than September 31st.

SWGB:
I've released 1 SWGB submission. Good, but I need more. Rules are the same as normal submissions. Just remember to make readme file.

New battles and free missions:
One FCHG, One TC and 3 Frees have been released. More stuff is waiting in my inbox. I will try to release more today, maybe.

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.
