In January 2010, The Tempest Union began its fifth year as a gaming clan, having survived its growing pains and outlasted the numerous clans that sprout and vanish around popular games. The Union is committed to the popular combat flight sim, IL2 Sturmovik 1946, and is recognized and respected in the community. In that community, TTU is now engaged in its third season as a Charter Member of the reborn United Squadrons League Global. USLG manages a global, virtual squadron based, online competition in IL2 Sturmovik 1946. With TTU members on the Board of Directors of USLG and significantly involved in the match map making and promotional video production, the Tempest Union has taken its place among the established Virtual Squadrons of online gaming. As part of TTU’s efforts to continue to grow and secure its future, we have installed the most recent upgrades for the game, and
play with the Official 4.09m patch, as well as UltraPack2.0n. To ensure our continued growth and stability, The Tempest Union has every intention of embracing 1CMaddox games next
offering, Storm of War, Battle of Britain.

In January 2006, TTU was formed to compete in the arcade flight game, Heroes of the Pacific by the Australian developer, IR GURUS, and quickly became the dominant Squadron of the game. By early Spring, 2007, popularity of Heroes of the Pacific had waned, and the Tempest Union moved as a unit to the more difficult combat flight simulator, IL2. IL2, developed by Oleg Maddox, was released in its original version in 2001by the 1C Company. Various new upgrades were released to keep the game popular over the years, IL2 Forgotten Battles, Aces Expansion Pack, IL2 Pacific Fighters, and finally, in 2007, IL2 Sturmovik 1946. IL2 1946 contains all the previous versions under one new cover. While the learning curve was steep and frustrating at times, we brought with us an organization, and basic flight skills, that allowed us to overcome the challenges of the much more realistic physics.

The basic tenets of our Union, including fair play, sportsmanship, good attitude, a desire to have fun, and a mutual respect among members, have created relationships, friendships, that go beyond gaming. In cases where distances are not overwhelming, RL friendships have been formed.

Our commitment to training, and our desire to continually improve our gameplay, is tempered by the realization that Real Life butts in too often. We understand and encourage, Families,
work, school come first.
