Mission Briefing
The alien cruiser and its escorts have broken past the mines surrounding the jump point. At their current speed and trajectory, they will intercept the Midway within the hour. Sensors reveal that they have already launched fighters and bombers for an initial assault. Hawk's Charlie Wing will deploy to provide combat space patrol for the Midway. Meanwhile, your Alpha Wing will escort Maniac's Bravo Wing as they make a direct assault on the cruiser group. When the attack is completed, return at once to the Midway and assist in its defense if necessary. The Midway is the last line of defense before Confederation space. Your mission is critical.

| Briefing. The mines didn't work. This is your last chance at that pesky cruiser. You're assigned to escort a Torpedo strike against the enemy. | |
Alien Forces NAV 1 5 Squid
2 Barracuda
1 Hydra
Notes
- Nothing particularly tricky here. Follow the same priorities you learned in mission C2.
- You probably want to eliminate the numerous and aggressive Squids before tackling the cumbersome Barracudas.
- Once again, your Autopilot light will come on when the enemy fighters are gone, but don't bug out until you've finished the mission and crippled the cruiser.
Success/Failure
Success/Failure go to D1.
WC:CIC Game Guide
Notes
- This is your last chance to take out that pesky cruiser. If you can't take it out this time, you don't have much hope for completing the rest of the game. Remember : Fighters, then shield emitters, then turrets. Take them out in that order.
- There is very little fighter cover here. Set to work on the Squids first, then set to work on the corvettes.
- If you have taken out everything, just sit back and let the bombers do their thing.

Comments : You can also use your Dragonflies for the turrets, but the Hydra's ones are tougher than the Orca's. At 100cm per shot, you need 6 for gun turrets (600cm), 8 for missile turrets (800cm) and a dozen for shield emitters!
