Hello there!

Long time no see etc. Does anyone have the old Ashguard Campaign by Abolisher I think it was kicking around? I have a hankering to play it again.

How's things?

Hey Ol, haven't seen you around for a long time! Welcome back!

I used to host it after his site went offline, however, we recently figured it was no longer compatible with the current state of the game, partially requiring OPTs that were no longer available or in different slots than they were with the DSUCP.

I still have it on my HDD, if you really wanna try your luck.

it was a very good campaign and stronger than the Vanilla Campaign. I OLike the Part with the Tie Phantom project in the Dreighton Triangle and the Battle with the Emperor Fortress Station and the Terror

Yeah.. I have it...… :D Here is the ReadMe:

Text and list files for the Ashgard Campaign

Install instructions:

Copy the STRINGS.TXT and SHIPLIST.TXT files to your XwingAlliance folder and replace the existing files when prompted.

Copy the Mission.lst file to your MISSIONS folder and replace the existing file when prompted.

Copy the SPACECRAFT0.LST file to your FLIGHTMODELS folder and replace the existing file when prompted.

That's it, you're done. You are now ready to install the XMOD files that will install the missions and OPTs needed for the campaign. Remember, install all flyable Rebel XWAUP craft (mandatory) and then any other XWAUP craft of your choice (optional) before installing the Ashgard Campaign XMODs.

Alright, fine I'm reuploading it.

Note that this campaign hasn't been updated for over 10 years. If you install it ontop of any current versions of DSUCP or XWAUCP, it WILL mess up your game, because
- It installs models inferior to those currently available (SSD, TIE Advanced X1, MonCal Cruiers, Outrider, etc.)
- It installs custom models in different slots than they are in the DSUCP
Install it at your own risk. I will provide no support for the current version of the campaign.


You can download it from https://vince-t.com/downloads/ the link is at the bottom of the page.

I agree.... I said I have it (the File) I didn't say I installed it in my game. I know... General Trageton you didn't insinuate that I did. Just to clarify.... ;)

It's ok, I've had a few requests to put it back up and wanted to give a more complete explaination of the issue rather than just telling people off.

It may work on a clean install without thedsucp but you'll likely need to get the hooks installed and updated first before trying to play.

Thanks for re-uploading it, Vince! I might just poke around and see what can be updated.

What I liked a lot about the other campaign, how the empire technically progresses during the campaign.

At the beginning the TiE GT fighters are used as bombers, but shortly after Yavin they are replaced by the Tie Bombers.

Also the missions, where the rebel fleet is hunted by the Imperials, I find it well done

Looking for an old campaign myself, does anyone else remember one called "Eylau Backlash" or something like that?
