Ehh. it should be straight forward. But having to wait for the squadron to leave and ISD is boring.
Good in theory, boring execution.
I think this mission is fine. I'm not opposed to doing different versions of the same mission across platforms - in fact I think that can be a bit fun. But there's definitely a power imbalance on this one, making it a bit easy. I'd give it a three, but I had to manually send home all of the T/As in order to get the ship moving and going home - something I don't like having to do! So I'll dock a point for that but otherwise did find it enjoyable if also too easy
This mission is a recreation of XWA skirmish. Exact one... There's even a skirmish file for XWA attached to the mission .zip. This begs to ask why does it even exist? It has no plot, nothing special about it. Just a head on fight. On the plus side it's very quick to complete. 1 point for the effort...

You do seem to die randomly in the XWCD version.
It worked fine in the GoG version. But twice i died with nothing touching me randomly.

X-Wing Combat Mission Battle Name: "ASF Combat Collection" version 1.1 Created By: SCO-TCT-TCS-PROF/FA Ender mBind/CS-10/SSSD Sovereign (mindb_ender@hotmail.com) Release Date: 18/jan/2003 Ships: X-Wing SP Missions: 1 including briefing XWA Skirmishes: 1 Medal: the ASF Combat Medal Filename: XWavengervsgray.zip File contents: Waistem.BRF, Waistem.XWI, readme.txt THESE LEVELS ARE NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. ELEMENTS TM & (c) LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. Installation: ---------------------- note: the original mission files will be overwritten, back up any files with the same names. XWing CD: 1: Download and install XCD from the SCO Site (http://sco.minos.net), files archive, the edittors section. (6k.) This will let you run custom missions. There is a full guide available at the SCO site as well. 2. Put Waistem.BRF and Waistem.XWI in your new "C:\Mission" folder and use XCD to start X-Wing CD. 3. Create a new pilot based on your pin and the battle's type and name. For example: 2883tc01.plt if I would be flying the first XW-TC battle. 4. Fly the first "Historical Combat" mission for the "X-Wing". XWing 95/disk: 1. Run full install of the game so the mission files will be on your hard drive. The game will take it's mission information by preference from the harddisc, but might still give a warning. In that case - Ignore. 2. Locate your X-W Directory and open the folder labeled "Mission", or "Classic" in X-W95. Copy the *.xwi, *.brf files of the custom battle into it. 3. Create a new pilot based on your pin and the battle's type and name. For example: 2883tc01.plt if I would be flying the first XW-TC battle. 4. Fly the first "Historical Combat" mission for the "X-Wing". Description ----------- This mission was originally created as a part of the "ASF: Combat Collection" for XvT. For X-Wing the VSDs have been replaced by unshielded ISDs. Story Line ---------- MISSION: "Avenger Squadron vs Gray Squadron" Imperial Squadron Avenger and Rebel Squadron Gray face off in an asteroid field near the Minos Cluster. Both are equiped with a VSD Command ship and X-Wing Bombers! Which Squadron will survive with its Command ship still intact? And how many fighters will that cost? NOTE ------------------- You need X-W CD or '95, as far as i know no other patches are needed. I cannot assure it will run on X-W disk as it might exceed its maximum craft amounts. You'd need the B-Wing and Imperial Pursuit add-ons to play. The added XWA Skirmish version is an extra and only added for those with XWA that would enjoy this mission in Multiplay. XvT Players wanting to do the same can extract the combat version out of XvT-FCHG#1, its mission 2.SCO-TCT-TCS-PROF/FA Ender mBind/CS-10/SSSD Sovereign GSx2/SSx7/BSx4/PCx7/ISMx16/MoI/MoT-28rh-45gh-6bh/IS-1SR-2GR-1PR/LoC-TS-Rx1/DFC-Rx1/CoS/CoL/CoB/LoAx2/OV-3E [CNTR] {IWATS-AIM-GFX-ICQ-IIC/1/2/3-JS-M/1/2-OPT-SM/2-TM-TT-XAM-XTM/1/2-XTT}
