X-WING

　Mission 4: Attack Run on Freighters

　File Name: convoy2
　Mission Briefing
　In this mission, you learn to escort and support Y-wings while on a torpedo attack run against a convoy of Imperial supply freighters.
　Dafid's Training Objective
　"Everyone out there is a team player. If you're not, you should go home now. protect the Y-wing, or the mission is a failure. Of course, the best way to protect him is to get rid of all his enemies as fast as possible. If you learn anything in this mission, it's how to destroy TIEs - fast!"
　Tactical Summary
　You are part of a composite strike team combining the speed and agility of the A-wing with the strength and firepower of the Y-wing. Eight TIE fighters are escorting three freighters.
　Engage and destroy the TIE fighters as quickly as possible to keep the Y-wing safe. Use missiles when the target is more than one click away, but switch to lasers when you're in close. TIE fighters take only two supercharged laser blasts; this is much quicker than waiting for a solid lock-on. Remember that you have 12 missiles, so don't worry if a few miss. Keep in mind, however, that they can be useful later against the freighters.
　If the Y-wing is killed, you have lost the mission. Therefore, if you have a hard time protecting him, send him home at the beginning of the mission and do the entire job yourself!
　Win Conditions
　All three freighters must be destroyed.
