The
People
Mike
Mike "Too Cool For A Handle" DelPrete founded
the HQ in November of 1999. He does all the site design, layout, graphics,
and anything else that needs to get done. Some of his fondest gaming
memories were playing The Battle of Britain and Secret Weapons
of the Luftwaffe way back in the day. Things sure have come a long
way since then.

Sixxo
Igor
"Sixxo" Bachinsky was the first addition to the WWII Online HQ's staff.
He posts news, updates the FAQ, conducts an interview every now and
then, and has also written an article
on what he'd like to see in WWII Online's infantry portion. Sixxo has
been a WWII Online fan since early August '99, and has been gathering
information on the game since he first heard about it. Sixxo's dedication
to the WWII Online community is evident in his activity on the official
forums, among other places.
