Sometimes you just have the urge to add some news. Good news and bad. The bad news is I won't be announcing new battles here anymore. I wasn't doing that anyway, except occasionally, so no loss there. The good news is I'm going to be adding the TAC reports to the site so everyone can read them. After all, I can't post em on the TC site, the EH site is far from ready, and the forums don't support my HTML layout.
Furthermore, I'd like to announce a few TAC Office competitions:
After a while, the Tactical Office website has finally settled down on its new, permanent home.

TIE Golf 2008 has been completed, all pilotfiles have been inspected,

report. Congrats to Major Zósite Kónstyte Styles for being our new
Grand Champion of TIE Golf, and a well-earned Iron Star with Platinum
wings.

New stuff
september 25 2008
We have some new missions to enjoy. First of all, a TIE battle by MAJ Mark Schueler (TIE
TC 228: Advance Warning). Also, finally XvT TC 125: Dark Times Ahead
by HA Frodo March is available, and a free mission that's been tagged "awaiting release" for almost a
year has also been released: TIE free 275: Wing II: Save the Videogames.
With the return of Brukhar I think it's normal to get that mission out of the queue finally :) More is
on the way.
Temporary Mission Compendium online
september 21 2008
Until the final version of the website is online, the Mission Compendium has found a temporary home
right here in the TAC Office. Look to the menu and use the link "compendium".
Please note this basic setup will not provide info on patches, you'll need to use the readme.txt or
patches.txt for that information. We also do not have the patches archive online at this time.
Temporary TAC Office website online
september 20 2008
While we wait for new webspace on the EH webservers, this will be the temporary home of the TAC
Office website. All functionality is restored, so as of today the TAC Office can resume its duties.
As such, all previously withdrawn assignments have been reassigned.
Change in EH Command structure
september 15 2008
Last night the Founder of the Emperor's Hammer, Grand Admiral Ronin removed Grand Admiral Astatine as Fleet Commander and appointed the XO, Grand Admiral Cyric, to the position of Fleet Commander. As a result, the EH is now temporarily without a functioning website and database. this also affects the Tactical Office, as its site is hosted on the same webserver. As such, all TAC assignments have been withdrawn until further notice.
