Squadron News
Greetings all!
A slow week, although I've received 2 submissions for the Redesign Python II competition. Let us hope that everyone will have a working copy of the XWA-game soon...
If things work out as planned, LCM Naar Treib will soon (re)join our squadron (he's trying to replace his lost XWA-CDs).
Still a couple of weeks to go for the squadron competitions... And let's not forget to participate in the Vanguard Tiger competition of LC Mayk Wolverine!

IRC Channel Registration
AD Joey C
This is an announcement for the entire Emperor's Hammer. If you're in charge of an IRC channel, be it for a Wing, Battlegroup, or major Subgroup channel, you must now get it registered with X as soon as possible. It's pretty simple to do this:-
- Go to the CService website http://cservice.undernet.org and login. Once logged in, you should see the link to "Register a channel" on the left hand side.
- Get the CService nicknames of TEN other members. It's encouraged that those people either be those who frequent the particular channel, those in my Idler Squadron, or other EH members who use IRC a lot. IN ALL CASES GET THE USER'S PERMISSION FIRST! Use these nicknames to fill out the relevant details on the registration form on the CService site.
- Make sure those ten people plus yourself (and others of course) are in the channel for as long as possible. They must also talk - X is denied to channels where nothing but idling occurs.
If you need CService nicks desperately, contact me at ehcomm@gmail.com and I will assign someone from Idler Squadron to your channel.
That's all.
No more CA:FO...
HA Cyric
It is with heavy heart that I announce the resignation of AD Reaper as my CA:FO. He has had a long career in the TC and has been with the flight office as long as I have.
Good luck Reaper!
I WILL NOT be accepting applications for another CA!
LO Open For Apps
SA Astatine
Logistics Officer is now open for applications. For full details, check the message board.
[TO Competition] Ugly TO Reports
VA Stuart
- So I was looking at my report... and then the Internet Office Report, and then the Chancellor Report. Frankly, I was jealous that they had such pretty report formats while I had a basic, tough on the eyes, u-g-l-y,… you get the picture.
- I need a HTML TO report template made, zipped and sent to to@emperorshammer.org by March 18th! Graphics may be used... minimally, tastefully and the must NOT contain text (ie. no individual topic banners), sections should be easily customizable and follow TO Report headings. A space MUST be included at the top for a TO banner.
- Winner receives IS-GR, second place IS-SR (awards downgraded 1 level if less than 5 participants)
TO REPORT #2 is out! My apologies for the email size!! This should be fixed once I have my new HTML format. PLEASE I need some entries soon... early entries (if used in my next report or two before comp closes) will be rewarded with an EXTRA IS-BR!!
Graphic Artist Required!
HA Priyum Patel
I require someone competent in graphics to produce a map for the next Imperial Storm wargame. If you think you can help out, please email me immediately. There'll be lots of shiny rewards*.
* Just one really. If you're lucky.
