You absolutely owe it to yourself to play this battle with all WAVs, crest patch, anything and everything installed. Wow! Admittedly, it's essentially a special edition of the already-terrific XWA-TC #70 and #71 (with a fun new mission thrown in the middle), but with a lot of care taken to really make use of all the amazing technical tricks that TFTC has available. Because of that, it's probably one of the best experiences you can have from the mission compendium today, and I absolutely cannot recommend it enough!

Just an amazing battle, from start to finish. Every mission is really well-polished and fun to fly. The mission with the asteroid was really impressive and I didn't know this was possible until playing it. Play this battle immediately!

Exceptionally beautiful and extremely well designed. Fantastic first addition to the TFTC-TC category.
Showcases the platform very well and an amazing story. Mission 5 stands out as something particularly fantastic.
Do yourself a favor and play it!

I unashamedly leave this review because I think this is a great battle. Mission 5 can be tough but remember to approach from below the YT-1300 and you should be fine.

Superbly crafted! Jagged has brought mission creation to new heights by taking advantage of a new platform and tools. Paired with a novel concept (pun definitely intended), this is a fantastic battle.

--Notes--

12] NOTE: While the battle has you fly as five different BG3 pilots, for simplicity, the email in-box of the game 
     is that of GN Triji Boliv.

13] NOTE: The conceit of this battle is that missions 7-9 are all happening concurrently, and therefore there are
     only new emails before missions 1 thru 7. No new emails appear before missions 8 and 9.

14] NOTE: This battle was made for TFTC-R v1.3.4. The author makes no guarantee that the battle will work correctly
     in another version.


Introduction
-------------
The Expanded Universe has held a special place in many of our hearts and minds, me especially. One of my favorite 
book series was the X-Wing Series by Michael A Stackpole and Aaron Allston. It was these stories that motivated me 
to pick up X-Wing Alliance back in the early 2000's. I previously released versions of this battle as two separate 
XWA battles XWA-TC 70 and XWA-TC 71. Here I am setting out to make an upgraded version of this campaign using the 
assets of the TFTC/XWAU mod. The baseline missions are the same between this battle and the previous two but this
battle makes use of the better visuals of TFTC/XWAU and the ability to have larger fleet battles and adds a mission.

This battle is based upon the story laid out in the books X-Wing: Rogue Squadron and X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble by
Michael A Stackpole. Here is a bit of the story in case you have not read the books.

Wedge Antilles, veteran of both Death Star attacks, hero of the Rebellion, has set out to reform Rogue Squadron 
with the aid of fellow Death Star II veteran Tycho Celchu. The group of pilots he has assembled contains Gavin
Darklighter and Corran Horn, who will soon go on to be legends of their own in the Expanded Universe.

But what if Ysanne Isard had convinced the Emperor’s Hammer to battle against the Rebels rather than trying to do 
it herself?



In Memory Of
-------------
In memory of my dad who passed away while this battle was being tested. His love of Star Wars and flight sims is
why I am here today. I will miss him.
