As a Tempest pilot, I thought this would be a no-brainer to fly. Quick and easy FCHG point, but High Score hunting is a real challenge here. Solid, no frills "kill a Rebel FRG" type mission. Even the apparent curve ball of being in unshielded craft didn't make it difficult to complete.

Another free that's probably a bit on the easy side, with the only goal being to kill off a frigate using two flights of torpedo armed TIE Bombers. The only caveat being can you do it with the first wave or do you need the second?

I can't really give it anything less than a two, because it's playable, it doesn't have you flying rebel crafts, and you get to enjoy the Bomber a little. Not much fun here, but if you need some quick tournament points, or would just like to unwind with an easy battle, this is an excellent pick.

One Frigate, lots of bombers and rockets. We blew this Frigate to all kinds of small pieces. That's all there is to this mission and it is fast as hell. Reading this literally takes longer than playing it. Easy four points for RTF.

I played on Easy. There's not much to this level in the main objectives. You have to kill a Frigate and you have unlimited torpedoes and an ISD that's attacking it. This mission ended extremely quickly. Maybe there's more if you look at secondary objectives?

The prospect of flying in a TIE bomber always intrigues me. Unfortunately, this one falls flat on its face. Do it for completion points.

Fast and furious. Fly an unshielded T/B against some FRG. Being myself from Tempest and flying a Spectre Advance Missile Boat, makes me look at those unshielded flying ball bombs of T/Bs with a tear of nostalgia. Worth a try, for us nostalgics.

Another classic with unshielded fighters, just like in the old days. A fair fight between a platform and a frigate, both with appropriate fighters.

Name: Tempest Tango Creator: CMDR/COL Locke Setzer/Tempest/Wing X/ISD Challenge Game Platform: XvT Plot: Tempest Squadron has been given the task of defending a small platform on the corner of EH space from any and all forces that come into the area. Sounds easy, right? Not quite. EH Transportation has sent the fighters of Tempest Squadron to the wrong platform! So Tempest Squadron will have to use two classic fighters, the TIE Interceptor and the TIE Bomber, to prevent the Rebels from gaining a hold on EH space! 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. Create a pilot named with your name and the mission number: For example, COL Master would use the nick "MastFr(Fr for free)155 for Free Mission #155.

Tempest Squadron's designation is Deep Strike. That means that from time to time, they've
been put in extremly awkward positions, requiring them to strike at Rebels quite far away
from their command ship of the ISD Challenge, sometimes without all the components they're
used to.
This is one of those times.
Recently, EH Intel has discovered that Rebel Fleets nearby have decided that a small,
little-protected sector of EH space could be very benefical to help launch a series of
attacks upon direct EH space. This cannot be allowed, and Tempest Squadron has been given
the task of chasing away any ships that attempt to take the platform, in hopes that by
chasing them away once their plan will fall out from under them, the element of surprise
now gone. Tempest Squadron has been given this task.
However, while EH Intel is very good... EH Transportation is not.
They have sent the TIE Defenders of Tempest Squadron to another platform. Perhaps for
any other squadron this would prevent the mission from occuring, but COL Locke Setzer
instead orders that his pilots fly the ships avaliable on the platform: TIE Interceptors
and TIE Bombers!
