The 2nd place battle of the 2025 Mission Design Competition has been released. It was made by COL Brucmack.
Today, the TIE Fighter Total Conversion team has released the newest version of that excellent mod. The update brings many, many changes to the mod, most immediately apparent is the move to HD for the Concourse and briefings.
As a note though, we in the Tactical Office are hard at work in retesting all the currently released EH missions for TFTC, but this isn't an instant process and it will be some time until the Tactical Office is able to post v1.4 compatible versions of our missions. As such, until otherwise posted, the Official version of TFTC for EH missions is still 1.3.4a (feel free to use v1.4 for playing the TFTC Campaign though).
The Tactical Office is pleased to announce the release of a new battle and free mission.

It is planned for the Tactical Office to have several major new announcements and developments throughout 2026.
The first of those announcements is that we will be adding the original, Totally Games/LucasArts made, campaigns for our core games to our Battle Center to allow members to get credit for playing the original games.
We will be adding them to the Battle Center in stages and this first stage is the addition of the 5 Tours of Duty from X-Wing and the 13 Battles from TIE Fighter. You may now submit BSF for these campaigns just like any other single player content. Please do note that Emperor’s Hammer custom missions and patches effect these base games and all flying for these campaigns should only be done on "clean" installations of the games.
To celebrate their addition we are also holding a competition to see who can fly the most of these "new" missions.

COL Jagged Fell III is the most prolific battle creator of the past 10 years. In a time of diminishing interest in our core gaming platforms, he has led the charge for adding new content and breaking ground in audio and backdrop creation.
Since joining, he has created over 135 missions combined between battles and frees. The majority of these are in the new TFTC platform, which was adopted in large part due to Jagged's advocacy and experimentation with the game. Each of his creations is beautifully crafted and goes the extra mile with customisations such as custom audio and backdrops. In addition he remastered many classic battles from old creators to revitalise and renew them for a modern platform.
He has also successfully taken over the Professorship of several Imperial University courses related to the Tactical Office, plus run several single player competitions to encourage participation in our most core activity. Finally, he was the winner of the 2025 Mission Creation Competition.
No one has contributed more to the Tactical Office in the last five years. Colonel Fell is a worthy recipient of the Grand Order of the Emperor.
The Tactical Office is pleased to announce the latest set of released battles:
- TFTC-TC 12: Out of Time: Far From Home by COL Jagged Fell III
- TFTC-TC 13: The Hammer Falls by COL Jagged Fell III
- TFTC-IW 3: The Valiant and the Immortal by COL Jagged Fell III, remastering a Roguewing battle
- TFTC-F 9: The Wrong Side by COL Jagged Fell III, turning the bonus non-canon mission from the above into a standalone free for the first time
- XWA-F 167: A Broken Adventure III: Old McBeefy had a Farm by GN Master
These releases take the Battle Center past 100 TFTC custom missions, all by the prolific Colonel Fell. Outstanding!

The 2025 Mission Creation Competition was a two phase competition that ran earlier this year. Building on the similar task from Squadron Re-Mobilization, members had the opportunity to submit a detailed design for a battle. In the second phase, those designs were turned into reality and built in one of our supported gaming platforms.
The Tactical Office is pleased to announce that judging is complete and the winners have been determined.
