The Group Rules

Now that you are a Hawk

As a member of the group in good standing, your name will be listed on the Roster page of the Hawks web site. Only players who see their names thus listed may call themselves a Hawk. Inform the club Leader as to which nation�s flag you wish to fly next to your name on this club Roster. Also, if he does not already have it, the group Leader will require your preferred email address for Hawks Newsletters and communications. Concerning club symbols, none are required of players, though members are encouraged to add [HWK] in front of their name. You may even stay in any death-match clans to which you currently belong. The Hawks simply have a shared interest in historical battles, thus membership means meeting up with each other at the server or on MSN to fight battles, share our latest map creations with each other and contribute to our battle community.

The Hawks Code of Conduct

The rules are simple, be civilized. Like was discussed on the Home Page, we are not bickering death-match players. We merely love the spectacle of huge battles, win or lose, (preferably win of course). Either way, a "Good Luck" usually precedes every engagement followed by a "Good Game", no matter how humiliating the loss.

Also, as these are historical battles set in realistic landscapes (which include buildings), the possibility of miss-using certain structures and up-grades exist in many of our maps. Discuss these things before playing. Battles where upgrades and building are allowed will either have signs on the field or instructions to do so in the �Map Information� text. Make sure the rules are clear before starting a battle to make play fun and realistic.

Lastly, stay active or at least inform the Leader of your status if you will be away for any period of time. Hawks are a busy group of people; writing at the forum, creating new historical maps, sharing information, spreading the word about us to other sites, accepting challenges from prospective members, cultivating quality Hawks etc. At the very least we meet other Hawks on the fields of glory when possible. A member who has lost interest in these activities will eventually be dropped from the group by a vote of the council if he does not in fact first resign.

The Hawks Group is here for those who share our interest and passion for this particular style of war-gaming. As long as there exist members motivated to research, build and play historical maps, the Hawks will continue to thrive as the world�s premiere club for this unique style of epic battle play.
