Installation 
------------
note: the original .lst files in your train and combat files will be overwritten, you will not loose 
access to your exsisting Combat missions but because of EHTAC regulations the Training missions are 
replaced. 

IMPORTANT! ONLY USE THE SINGLE PLAYER MISSIONS (TRAINING MISSIONS) FOR HIGH SCORE SUBMISSION.

1] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle.
2] Check the Misc folder in your XvT one for additional material like patches, sounds etc.
3] Press the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter button to start XvT and fly the battle.
- Place these files into your /Combat directory: IMPERIAL.LST, MISSION.LST, REBEL.LST, ASFVANMP.TIE
- Create a new pilot for the mission based on your name or PIN and the mission number. For example, 
SL Stele playing Free Mission 80 would make a new pilot file named "StelFM80." or a Pilot with PIN 
2883 playing Free Mission 69 would make a new pilot file named "2883fm69" 
- Begin flying the first training mission, fly on till you've finished training mission #1

Description
-----------
This mission is part of an XWA Battle about the History of the Vanguard.

Story Line
----------
ViB Historical Missions: "Classic Conflict"

When the ISD Vanguard was assigned to the battle group of the (then) Vice Admiral Thrawn, their primary
concern at the time were the traitor admirals Harkov and Zaarin But that didn't mean they didn't
see anything of the actual Civil War of that time... the so called "Classic Conflict" between Empire
and the Alliance guerrillas.

This mission is about a simple interdict and destroy operation that got out of hand when the
Interdictor Artemis, assigned to the Vanguard at the time, pulled out of hyperspace more
then the actual Light Calamari Cruiser with Z95 escorts they were aiming for. 
Within moments the pilots of Wing XV were confronted with a sizable force of Rebels and
it was only because the GUNs Thrawn had assigned to them that you can still use
these simulators onboard the Vanguard today.

Try if you can do as well as they did in the day.


NOTE 
-------------------
COMBAT NOTE: For this mission to work in MP, all players must have it installed on the same mission 
number, in this case "120". Preferably do not change this number.
FCHG NOTE: TAC won't let you fly Combat Missions or XWA Skirmishes for FCHG Points, use the Single 
player mission for all TC flying outside of combat competitions. 
GENERAL: You need XvT (or at least all the ships involved there), as far as i know no other patches are 
needed. To fly in Combat all players need the same version, make sure you all have the update by 
lucasarts installed. 
SINGLE PLAYER: This mission was made as a Combat Mission, its goal is to be fair to both sides so it 
can be played instead of a regular melee. 
MULTI PLAYER: For multiplayer this mission supports 3vs3.  Randomize on (not allowed in 
SP) will give you all the same variations in craft, like the CRS.

Other Information
