Favourite Raider Wars mission?

Now for another poll. This time a bit of blatant self indulgence. I could try and justify this by saying that this is market research for BHX. In all honesty though, I'm just interested. I should have asked this ages ago when the topic was still fresh, but, better late than never. So without further ado. What was your favourite Raider Wars mission?

Oh and no comments about Nightmare Scenario always crashing :D.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.

Storming the Castle. It had the right level of challenge for me. :)

To be honest, there were quite a few outstanding missions, but in the end, it was the duel between "Midnight on the Firing Line" and "Storm the Castle".

I chose "Midnight on the Firing Line", simply because of it's it was very well done and true to the show....
Also, it was visually impressive.

My favorite is definitively "Hell and Back"... I totally got shocked when that huge explosion just appeared right in front of the Scylla... I though I was doomed now and than came that message from tech about the raiders coming for the Scylla and I was unable to spot them...
"Nightmare Scenario" was cool too although it never worked in campaign mode when I was playing... A very nice idea
"Loose Ends" was -as think of it-  a totally poor attempt to close the campaign... at least the Medusa cloud have survived - when I saw the ship running off in "Boarding party" I just though: "You little rat, we'll see who gets his but kicked in the end. Morden will see to it..." but than I had to kill it in the end of the campaign... somehow killed a part of the feeling of this campaign being part of the B5 universe...

"Ride of the Valkyrie".  First planet surface mission I ever played.  Awesome experience.

"Storm the castle"

Erm, where can one get Raider Wars? I've tried the link from the TBP site but it's not working.
