About TG:
Tactical Gaming (TG) was created in November 2004 to bring together like-minded gamers from around the globe and from multiple platforms (Consoles, PC & Mobile), to provide them Head Quarters (web site) where they can share their backgrounds, experience, and interests in teamwork and tactics, as well as providing them with an environment that allows a "friends-first" experience in the online community.

We have fully stocked Brigades for the Battlefield series (PC, PS3 and 360) for US/EU/AUS. So no matter which platform you are on, no matter where you are, you will be able to play with like-minded gamers.

You will be assigned to a squad of roughly 12 active members with which you can practice with. Squads can be casual or competitive, and the choice is up to you.

We are heavily structured, and are based on the Military. As one of the most prominent Clans around today, we pride ourselves in the knowledge that once you join us, you will find a vibrant community of over 2000 active members to team up with.

Tactical Gaming supports 14 warfare related game-titles, including CoD, MoH, Minecraft, LoL and Crysis. So whatever you play, you will find us at the bleeding edge of Gaming.

The cross-bow in front of the dark cloak represents a weapon used under cover of darkness to denote the squadron's original role as a night fighter squadron. The badge was officially approved in March 1944. MEDIA NOX MERIDIES NOSTER, means Midnight is our noon in Latin.

No. 409 Nighthawk Squadron was formed at RAF Digby in June 1941 for night operations with Boulton-Paul Defiants, moving in July to RAF Coleby Grange, where, in August, Beaufighter IIf's arrived, allowing detachments to be maintained elsewhere. Two victories were claimed during the early days of the Squadron's existence, but in June 1942 Beaufighter Mk VI's were received and a greater degree of success was achieved. In February 1943 a move was made to Acklington, with detachments maintained in at least four other locations. In December a return to Coleby Grange was made, with the various detachments continuing their separate existences. Little was seen during the year, but in March 1944 the Squadron moved to Hunsdon, converting to the Mosquito Mk XII and joined No. 85 Group of the 2nd TAF (Tactical Air Force). Intruder and offensive patrols commenced and much action was seen over the Normandy beachhead in June 11 victories were claimed during this month. After some action against V-1 Flying Bombs, operations over Europe re-commenced, and late in August the unit moved to Carpiquet in France. The first night fighters to be based on the mainland. By mid-October, the Squadron had settled in the Lille area, where it was to remain until April 1945. On April 19, a move was made to the Rhine in Germany, and from here the unit was able to claim six victories in a single night. Shortly after this the war ended with the total victories at 61½ claimed. The squadron's code letters during this period were KP.
