In order to clear up any potential confusion about the order of the four Emperor's Hammer Battles and all Free Missions approved to date, they are presented chronologically below. In addition, the Wing Commander has decided to adopt Cmdr Talon�s suggestion to post individual mission high scores.

In addition, this posting will be updated in each future newsletter. Pilots wishing to submit their pilot scores for ANY mission detailed above are asked to submit their request to the Office of the Wing Commander @ W Call.
Due to the confusing names of some missions attached to this Newsletter, the Wing Commander has renamed the original mission files. This action was necessary to allow the Wing Commander to attach all new missions to the Newsletter submission to AOL in one *.zip file. Consequently, a brief summary is presented below for your convenience:

MISSION
DESCRIPTION Battle 4/Mission 4 Battle 3/Mission 1 Battle 5/Mission 1

Wing Members MUST manually rename the files to the "Old File Name" and copy into the c:\tie\mission subdirectory for proper use (REMEMBER...Backup ALL original files prior to copying new mission files into the c:\tie\mission subdirectory!!!). As detailed below, Members are encouraged to utilize a rigid subdirectory system rather than continually renaming mission files in order to play the new missions more easily and effectively...
There has been much confusion recently regarding copying and playing mission files. Briefly, these files must be directly copied to your c:\tie\mission subdirectory. However, BE CAUTIONED...you MUST backup your originals files currently in the c:\tie\mission subdirectory or they will be copied over and lost...This is due to the fact that all new missions will all have the same names as the original missions (apparently edited missions can only replace the missions in the first original Battle). I apologize to all Members for the inconvenience and headaches this will undoubtedly cause, but I believe they are manageable utilizing a solid directory structure. In addition, this posting will be updated in every subsequent Newsletter so the Members can review the recommended directory tree format. Consequently, I recommend the following directory tree (copy of the Wing Commander's) to keep the new files organized:
c:\hammer
\newmiss
\zaarin
b1m1fm.tie*
b1m2fm.tie*
\calamari
b1m1fm.tie*
b1m2fm.tie
\Ja24
b1m1fm.tie*
b1m2fm.tie*
b1m3bm.tie*
\dorja
\mission1
b1m1fm.tie*
\recap
b1m1fm.tie*
b1m2fm.tie*
b1m3bm.tie*
\oldmiss
b1m1fm.tie**
b1m2fm.tie**
b1m3bm.tie**
* - new mission files
** - original mission files
By careful use of the recommended directory structure, you should just have to "copy" new files into the c:\tie\mission subdriectory without having to rename anything...Again I apologize for this cumbersome method of file management; but until a mission launcher utility is created, this is what we're stuck with in order to play new missions...I feel it's a small price to pay....
