What's New in Sturmgrenadier? A Lot! Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany October 5, 2002) Things around Sturmgrenadier keep getting better and better! Earlier this week, Sturmgrenadier revealed a brand new squad ranking system for its members. This new system includes 90% historically accurate ranks as well as a brand new "time in grade" component for the lower, non-NCO ranks. Today, the official images to go along with those ranks were unveiled. The new ranking system offers Sturmgrenadier members more room to grow within the ranks and assume new responsibilities. Look for details here! Another brand new happening within Sturmgrenadier is the official unveiling of Kampfgruppe III Drache. Previously known as the Euro KG, this Kampfgruppe caters to our European and overseas members and is awaiting full deployment upon acquiring adequate manpower. Earlier in the week, KG3 Drache was officially recognized as KG3 of the GHC's 4th Panzer Division European, with Ratchet retaining command of both iterations. Sturmgrenadier is actively seeking WWIIOL European players who want to be a part of the best squad in the game! In a time
of transition within the game, with the release of the next
version public beta, Sturmgrenadier continues to dominate wherever
it sets foot. Come be a part of the best team in the online gaming
universe! |

Eisenfaust Receives a New Executive Officer Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany September 12, 2002) Today, Nyman01 was appointed as KG2 Eisenfaust's new Executive Officer, replacing Grisgris, who has decided to step down due to real-life time constraints. Nyman01, formerly a KG2 AG Lieutenant, steps into the role as a seasoned fighter and leader. Together with KG2's Commanding Officer, Scorpius, Nyman hopes to continue the great tradition of excellence within KG2. Grisgris
was an excellent XO for KG2, taking charge of all KG2's
administrative tasks and getting everything squared away. His
contributions will not be lost; however, as he remains on board,
fighting alongside his SG brothers and sisters. |

The GHC CinC Position Changes Hands Reported by: Burnspot (Aachen, Germany August 24, 2002) "Time has come that my tour as CinC has finished. It has been the most extraordinary experience I have ever had in a computer game. The last year has been an amazing journey of ups and down, but above all it turned this from 'just a game' into a rewarding relationship with a collection of great folks." Those were the words of Scoobe, the GHC's Commander in Chief as he turned command of all Axis forces over to his successor, Eggert, at a change of command ceremony held in Aachen, Germany. For Scoobe's full retirement speech, please go here. We wish Scoobe all the best and look forward to working under CinC Eggert as the Axis continues to trample the Allied forces.
Sturmgrenadier had the distinct pleasure of coordinating and
carrying out the change of command parade in honor of Scoobe and
Eggert, complete with infantry and armored columns. Sturmgrenadier
members, yet again, proved that they had the discipline and skill
to give a great show! Many thanks to our fellow GHC brethren who
participated! Too see images of the ceremony, please see the GHC
website

Stormtroopers Move the Map Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany August 19, 2002) It was not so long ago when Allied forces were pushing their way to Aachen and the Axis Army appeared to be scrambling just to keep what real estate they still had. Sturmgrenadier knuckled down and began the grim work of pushing the Allied hordes back by re-taking Maastricht, setting off a long chain of events that led to Sturmgrenadier's 20th capture of Brussels last night, along with the towns of Waterloo, Halle, Aalst, Charleroi, Dendermonde, and Nivelles. Since that initial re-taking of Maastricht, Sturmgrenadier has played an integral part in the capture of over 15 towns in the last week, putting the Allies on the defensive and stifling their ability to counter. Thanks go out to all Axis squads and players who took part in assisting with the ousting of the Allied wretches, your actions have proven invaluable. Sturmgrenadier, a name well-known, respected, and feared among all Allied forces, continues to pursue the enemy with relentless determination and grit. There'll be no rest until Sturmgrenadier pushes the Allied forces into the channel; we'll be thirsty for English tea by then... Want to
join THE premier Axis fighting force? Join Sturmgrenadier today! |

Sturmgrenadier Communications See Evolution Reported by: Burnspot With the passing of WWIIOL version 1.55 and the continuing evolution of the 1.6x series of patches from CRS, Sturmgrenadier has seen an explosion in our membership numbers. Our in-game numbers have never been higher, averaging 35-40+ online every night of the week. This placed an incredible demand on our current Roger Wilco voice communications software and began to impact our operations. As a result, Sturmgrenadier has undertaken what many have called an evolution by turning to Teamspeak (http://www.teamspeak.org/) as our new choice for all our voice communication needs. Transition is never easy and moving from Roger Wilco, which we have used since SG's inception, to Teamspeak will prove to be an interesting experience for all. Teamspeak will continue to be tested by Sturmgrenadier until the end of August, at which point the decision to stick with it or revert to Roger Wilco will be made. All new and current members are expected to participate fully in the testing period. Address all Teamspeak questions and/or problems to our Communications Officer, Jerith, to communications@shq.com Thank you
for your continued support! |

The
Luftwaffe Changes Command Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany July 27, 2002) It is my great pleasure to announce that ThunderAce has assumed command of the Sturmgrenadier Luftwaffe with Stewart remaining the LW's Executive Officer. Borsig, the outgoing LW CO, has embarked on a full-time stint with our America's Army force and will continue his great work there. ThunderAce, a long-time LW Executive Officer, has deep and far-reaching knowledge of SG's Luftwaffe operations and will continue his pursuit of creating the finest flying force this side of the frontlines. Congratulations to Thunder in his new position and best wishes to Borsig! Burnspot Commanding Officer, SG WWIIOL |

A
Long, Bloody Battle Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany July 19, 2002) The war in the French theater drags on. Axis and Allied troops continue battling over ground daily, literally fighting for every inch of soil. Following the liberation of Brussels on July2, Axis forces, spearheaded by Sturmgrenadier, captured Antwerp and towns west. Allied forces, fractured by the continuous Axis westward push, regrouped, reinforced, and managed to retake Brussels and Antwerp, making a deep thrust into Axis-held territory. For a day, Liege fell to Allied forces, but they were soon defeated and removed from the city. Throughout the Allied push into Axis territory, Waterloo and Enghein proved too well-defended for the Allied forces to overtake, with fierce fighting on both sides. Being unable to capture Waterloo, the Allied forces left the door to Brussels open and Sturmgrenadier stepped through by recapturing Brussels on July 18. The liberation of Brussels was coordinated and planned again by OJ, KG1's Executive Officer. With the help of Axis and SG forces maintaining a Waterloo defense, OJ led a contingent of SG soldiers into Brussels, leading to its capture once again. The operation was met with some resistance, but our forces prevailed! Thanks go to all the GHC and Axis forces that helped in securing the ownership of this key city. Salute!
to all the SG and Axis forces in beating back the Allied advance.
The job is not yet finished, but I'm confident that we shall
prevail. Keep up the fight! |

News Release For Immediate Release Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany July 2, 2002) Today, Sturmgrenadier forces, led by OJ, KG1's XO, assaulted Allied positions in Brussels, Belgium, forcing the Allied defenders to capitulate. The attack, lasting 4-5 hours and consisting of 45-60 Sturmgrenadier troops, commenced when Sturmgrenadier forces captured the Brussels Airfield and Armybase and began to mass forces in earnest. Sturmgrenadier and other 3rd Panzerarmee LW units worked successfully to maintain a functioning FB into Brussels despite repeated Allied bombings. After sufficient force levels were attained (for AF defense and city assault) and recon was performed, an all-out assault of the city proper began. Sturmgrenadier captured the 3 remaining AB's and then commenced clean up operations in cooperation with other elements of the 4th Panzer Division and 3rd Panzerarmee; Brussels was cleared and "owned" shortly thereafter. Later in the evening, Sturmgrenadier forces continued beyond Brussels and took the city of Waterloo, adding the exclamation point to the work of earlier. A hearty
!SALUTE! to all Sturmgrenadier members as well as members of the
4th Panzer Division and 3rd Panzerarmee who took part in the
operation. Sturmgrenadier members who participated in the action
earned the SG Achievement Ribbon for outstanding performance in
the taking of Brussels. |

The
World Turns on its Ear Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany June 29th, 2002) Following in the footsteps of the recently released version 1.60, Cornered Rat Software announced the introduction of attrition and new capture rules with the release of version 1.65 on June 27th. The patch completely revamps the sound system and makes various other smaller updates; however, it is the attrition and capture rules that set this patch apart from all the rest. The world of WWIIOL has fundamentally changed. Gone are the days of cities changing ownership multiple times a day; gone are the days of wide swings in the front line. Scorpius, KG2 Eisenfaust's Commanding Officer had this to say about the patch, "Not enough time to evaluate the new patch yet...but I think the new rules definitely favor the defenders over the attackers by a wide margin. This puts even more burden on SG since we are primarily an assaulting force." That pretty much sums it up. The new patch has increased the difficulty of the game tenfold, making superior teamwork and force a necessity, something Sturmgrenadier is extremely familiar with. In the day or so since the patch's release, only 2 towns have been claimed by each side. The pace of the war is now one of a more realistic and grueling nature. CRS has stated that further refinements are already being planned, but we now can see where they're taking us and it's starting to look very good. Come, join us
on the field and see the new WWIIOL! |

Changes in Command Staff Reported by: Burnspot (Berlin, Germany June 18th, 2002) On Sunday, the 16th of June, Scorpius, a long time SG member and KG2 XO, assumed command of KG2. GrisGris, another long time SG member and special operations veteran, was named as KG2's new Executive Officer. Dmashek, the outgoing KG2 CO, will be moving into a position where he can concentrate fully on his critical role as GHC's 4th Division US Commanding Officer. Today, over in KG1 Donner, OJ, a long time special operations guru, has made his return to the command staff by being named the new KG1 Executive Officer.
Congratulations to all of these men for
well-deserved promotions! Sturmgrenadier will
benefit greatly from their contributions! |

the Good Times Roll Reported by: Burnspot On June 6th, 2002, Cornered Rat Software released the long-awaited upgrade to World War II Online, 1.60. The new upgrade was born bearing the version number 1.64 and features many new enhancements and many new challenges. The theater, a large area before, has been expanded even more, offering new vistas from which to launch assaults. Axis forces have received the HE-111 and the newly deployed PZ-IVD, while the Allied armies have been allocated a new AA weapon and transport vehicle. Enhancements to the infantry model have greatly re-shaped how infantry play a part in the game, giving them a more prominent role in the fighting. Ddfletch, a longtime Sturmgrenadier member, was overhead saying, "I must say, I've not had this much fun in game since I bought it 5 months ago. I love all the new stuff with a passion." Many Sturmgrenadier members are enjoying the new version right now and I encourage all of you who had been waiting for the new version to visit the game's website or our forums, to download and install the new version. Expect faster and more revolutionary game updates in the near future, as WWIIOL continues its evolution. Sturmgrenadier is back in full force and wreaking havoc on Allied forces wherever they may be cowering- you are invited to join us. Burnspot Commanding Officer, SG WWIIOL |

The next slated portal to go live is the newest in the Delta Force series, Task Force Dagger."

Regrouping Reported by: Spoon We have decided to take this time between now and the release of 1.6 to trim the fat from our team. Over the course of the last year we have seen many players join our ranks. Some of those players for whatever reasons have left the game or are very inactive with our team. In order for SG to get an accurate count of our troops, we deleted everyone from player services and have asked that our active players re-register. Doing this will have us a fresh start and a clear view at our future. As always, without you we are nothing. Thanks for
your continued support, |
