The Lost Battalion

<TLB>

These are the words of Gen. Whittlesey as he remembers it:


Once MOHAA was released for OS X, I bought the game for myself as soon as it was released. I'd already been playing MOHAA on PC over the
Gamespy networks for some time, so it wasn't anything new to me. Once I refreshed myself with GameRanger, I started checking all the
different clans, and those involved with them. There were only a handful of MOHAA clans on GR at the time, so I decided to start one of
my own. <TLB> began in early September of 2002.
I came up with the name <TLB> which stands for The Lost Battalion in reference to the famed 308th of World War I. My current rank at the time from all my Gamespy endeavors was Major. So, I named myself after the real leader of The Lost Battalion - Major Charles Whittlesey, or <TLB> Mjr. Whittlesey. So I slapped that rank and title on my name, and started recruiting! It only took a day or two before I recruited my first soldier. Our first member, was none other than Oz. At the time he was a freelance player. Unaware of the world of clans, I hosted a game, tested out his playing skills, and asked him to join. He accepted, and became our
first Pvt. of <TLB>. Oz and I played for a few days together, and started to improve his skills on MOHAA. After that, I left him with instructions to go ahead and start recruiting players to join <TLB>. He did so, and our next member to join was some guy named "Hitler's Lost Testicle." I was a
little surprised at this player's name at first, but he revised it to Hitlerhoden. Alex, our second member to join also started off as Pvt. Our next member, Eric, or MacDaddy joined a few days after Hitlerhoden. I recruited him for his remarkable sniping skills. It was just the four of us for a week or so. Then after that, another free-lancer called Lt. Page, or Zach asked us if he could join. We tested him out, and saw that he was a fine player. So he joined us a Pvt. Page. Including myself, these five remarkable individuals would eventually become our senior staff, and all have a hand in shaping <TLB> into what it is today. The next important player to join <TLB> was some kid named Diablo. I was impressed by his personality, and ambition on all things <TLB>. Skilled in the ways of MOHAA, Diablo was particularly gifted at designing websites. This was capitalized on, and Diablo remains our website designer/administrator today. Diablo has also helped out <TLB> greatly but substituting as commander of <TLB> while I 've been gone on vacation, etc. For another week or so, it was just the six of us. The rest to me, is a recruiting blur. Many more soldiers joined our cause, to help us become the greatest, most powerful, and organized clan on GR. <TLB> went through many tough times, and trial periods. Not in combat, but in politics, ethics, and other issues that affects us all. Essentially, we went from a small "care-free" MOHAA clan to a very serious, competitive, hard-core MOHAA clan. This happened in my memory, almost over-night. Once we had over 15 members we immediately reorganized <TLB>. We assigned a clan secretary, formed our own senior staff, and created a solid clan policy. Now, <TLB> is recognized as a formidable clan on GR. With our solid staff, great organization, and battle-hardened soldiers, <TLB> remains in my opinion, one of the best clans in the business. We play clan battles against other popular clans on GR, and currently have a winning streak. We also play on GameSpy, along with inter-clan scrimmages. I'm very proud of <TLB>. Creating this clan has been very rewarding for me, and I know there are still many great things to come in our future. Our members have all become friends with each other, and there's a real sense of teamwork, comradship, and maturity. Thanks for making <TLB> what it now is guys. Keep up the good work, and long live <TLB>!
<TLB> Gen. Whittlesey
