The Tactical Office has recently added the original, Totally Games made, main campaigns for both the story campaigns for X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, Balance of Power, and X-Wing Alliance to the BSF system. Pilot files can now be submitted for the original game missions for EH flight credit. Just like the existing TFTC Campaign integration, you can either submit the same pilot file over and over as you progress through the game from the beginning or download a provided pilot file that has been enabled for a particular Battle (all BoP missions are able to be played with a game made new pilot) that you wish to play. If you choose to use the same pilot file for multiple Battles, the BSF system will automatically detect that previous battles have been submitted for the file and only add the newly completed content. Just like for all EH created content, you may only get credit for flying a mission once per calendar year.
In celebration of this "new" single player content the Tactical Office is running a competition to see who is the best at these foundational games. The points will be calculated like they are for FCHG rankings. For every mission you fly and submit to the BSF system (you can only submit fully completed Battles) you will receive 1 point, for every mission High Score you will receive 2 points, and for every Battle High Score you will receive 2 points for every mission in that battle. The points for High Scores are calculated at the time of submission (so if another comes along and tops your score, you will NOT lose points). At the end of the competition the points will be totaled up and the top 4 will be awarded Iron Stars (or equivalent). Also, any pilot who participates will also be awarded an ORA for every 4 Battles that are completed and the first 5 to complete each game will be awarded and IAR.
Please note that old files are not allowed and you should only use a play through that you started during the competition. Additionally, please remember to play on the unaltered games. Custom EH patches can effect the existing game missions. Please make sure to either use a fresh game install for your play through, or uninstall all patches.
Additionally, while you are permitted to use the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade to play the campaign, you are not allowed to claim any High Scores using XWAU. If your BSF indicates a HS, you MUST message the Tactical Office (both the TAC and CA:TAC) that your BSF should be excluded from High Score consideration.
