I wish I had thought to check how many waves of fighters I had, because I think the answer was a lot more than I remembered, and I could have used their ordinance. Because you have to take out cap ships. Lots of cap ships. So either use your ordinance wisely, or suffer the fate of having to ion down every shield and disable every ship while slowly sapping its hull. It's not a bad battle though, worth it for the points if you don't have other options.

Another strike mission with plenty of targets. Not long to complete and fun overall to play. Who doesn't like blowing things up with rocks?

This one started well and then it got ridiculous. Having said that, if you enjoy using your gunboats to spread some love, then this is the mission for you. Blowing up capital ships never gets old! :)

Mission enjoyable only to GUN lovers. You will face several large targets, including a platform to be captured and some capital ships, 2 DREADs, 1 FRG, 1 STRKC which will make your time in here quite busy. It left me somehow tired as it felt slightly tedious towards the end, but overall a flyable mission, though long.

Installation Instructions:
1] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle.
2] Check the Misc folder in your BoP one for additional material like patches, sounds etc.
3] Press the X-wing Vs. TIE Fighter button to start XvT and fly the battle.
Description:
The Challenge must capture a spaceport that is being used by separatists as a station
for stolen EH cargo convoys. It may not be much of a spaceport, but XvT only supports
32 craft. If you want a cool spaceport, fly FREE-TIE 93. Go easy on this one, it's my
first "real" XvT mission. If you want some tips, scroll down to the bottom.

Okay, you actually looked down this far -- here are some tips:
- X-W Omega is the single greatest threat to the objective. If you can knock all 8 of
them out of the fight right away, it makes the rest of the mission quite a bit easier.
- You must make a few strafing runs on the enemy DREADs to divert their fire away from
the platform. Fight "between" the DREADs and the PLT.
- The Rebels won't attack the platform, as it is against their rules of engagement.
However, keep an eye on the Challenge. If it gets knocked down to 50% hull, it is
forced to retreat and you will lose. Don't let this happen, go for the Y-Wings once
the platform is safe.
- If flying GUNs is your thing, flying as GUN Cyclone is a good way to minimize rocket
damage to the PLT and knock the capital ships out of the fight right away.
