Battle Description: | This battle is based upon the TIE Corps
wargame "Imperial Storm II: Dark Horizon" (IS2:DH), conceived and
run by Flight Officer, Fleet Admiral Priyum Patel. IS2:DH was a follow-up
to the wargame "Exercise: Imperial Storm" which was conceived and
run by former Flight Officer, Fleet Admiral Kessler (ret). The wargame
was based on Project: Faithful - which was originally designed &
run by Vice Admiral IQ Pierce (ret).
The battle is a conversion of the original XWA skirmish files used (as far as available) using a "XvT Skirmish" template to test this mission type's usefulness in war gaming situations with the ultimate goal to come to war games on more platforms then just XWA. This offers some limitations towards this battle as a Single-Player experience:
|
Story Line: | The "basic way" of your Story line you can find on the Imperial Storm 2 site which is included. The "Battles" page gives a step by step description of each battle and which I updated to include all 6 battles, the "Map" page shows you where you are in the galaxy plus data on the planets involved, the "Forces" page shows you what craft to expect in the combat area and the rest is there to show you how a wargame like this is run and what it was all about. |
The next way is to read the articles on IS2:DH in "The Vanguard", a ships newspaper of one of the TC ISDs which is set in the Star Wars Universe so you can get the fictional feel of things as well. A cutting of the newspaper has been added courtesy of CM Johann Glorick. | |
The most obvious way is to read the Descriptions of the Missions as well, there has been added some "Imperial Storm Data" in the descriptions too which elaborates on the goings on around each mission from a war gaming point of view | |
NOTES: | You need the XvT (or at least all the ships involved there) AND Draconious' Ship Patch. To fly in Combat all players need the same version, make sure you all have the update by lucasarts installed. |
Other Information: | This is the first release of a testing purpose battle - it's main use was mostly to examine the possibilities of XvT war gaming and the usefulness of a "XvT Skirmish" template in war gaming in general. Bugs could arise - please mail me if they do - also if you have hints, death threats, questions or appraisals. |
