A fun quick mission whose primary goals are VERY easy and quick, but which has a lot of optional enemies that can be quite challenging to defeat in a T/F.

Despite some of the other reviews, I enjoyed this one! It was fun to play, with some scope to earn more points, depending on how long you wanted to hang about for. Seems ideal for a small squadron competition mission, in respect to points and play-a-ability. Recommended.

A great XWA adaptation mission; it's quite a bit annoying at times, as your wingmates are erm...NOT cooperative at all, even when you're trying to save their skins. They also decide to not be useful against some craft, and kill others within 2 seconds. After they're "regrettably" destroyed, though, the mission is fairly fun.

Ok it was pretty easy to accomplish and fun. Just remember not to shoot at point blank as containers' explosion will damage your fighter.

Didn't go beyond the primary goals so I can't further comment.

Very weak. Played on medium, no action whatsoever. The T/Bs shoot down one container and then start doing loop-di-loop. Why have them at all if they're not gonna do anything useful?

Its rather easy. But its like, the first ever TIE mission converted. Since its important to have these kinds of historic missions on the compendium, it deserves at least a three. Besides, its always nice to fly a TIE Fighter, and it gave the TAC a break from the 'kill 1 bzillion' craft missions.

Installation 
------------
The Mission.lst replace your original files, so back those up!

1] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle.
2] Check the Misc folder in your XWA one for additional material like patches, sounds etc.
3] Press the X-Wing Alliance button to start XWA and fly the battle.
4] 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" 

Description
-----------
This mission is the elusive "TIE Demo" mission, that was part of the flyable demo of 
TIE Fighter and is in fact the first TIE mission ever made, but also in storyline:
It happens just before the first mission of Battle 1 (and the Battle of Hoth) and is 
Mareek Stele's first actual combat mission. All official TIE Fighter missions are part
of the Emperor's Hammer History and this would be the earliest bit.

The Demo actually uses a mix between the X-Wing and the TIE Fighter mission formats:
It has the 48 possible flightgroups of TIE, but like X-Wing it has no included briefing
and it uses a craft slotlist that is closer to that of X-Wing as well - also only
using craft that are in X-Wing: this means this mission can be flown in any TIE version
because they all have more craft types.

Using hex editting I've ported the demo mission completely to the final TIE Fighter mission
format. To finish it off I've added a full modern day animated briefing (the demo doesn't 
have one). Besides the briefing this is a complete port, with all the same craft on the same 
locations doing the same things. Giving you all the chance to play it (again) in better
quality (XWA).

For the Glory of the Empire!

NOTE 
-------------------
This mission should work for all versions of X-Wing Alliance.
