Battle Reviews

Fun series of missions, which were really quick to complete - at least on the easy setting you have lots of wing-man support, and as other reviews have stated, your critical craft don't really seem to be in danger. Worth a play-through, and I'll certainly be playing this one again on a higher setting next time to explore this battle more!


Extremely fast missions in this battle. Easy RTF points. Protection missions but your VIPs never really face any serious trouble. Not too many enemies to kill and the story has a good background and solid progression which is seen through each subsequent mission. Very enjoyable.


The story is okay, but you don't really get a whole lot of time to really care about it when you're in the seat of the TIE Advanced. The missions are fast, typically involving a fairly lop sided battle of an underwhelming opposing force against a whole lot of TIE Advanced fighters. The final mission has some decent dog fighting, but it's still over before you know it!


This battle was simple and straightforward. I'd like to say fast but not furious at all. However it's pleasant to fly, hardly challenging in the dogfights for a T/A facing Z95s and alphabet fighters. A handful of FCHG points which leave you with the feeling of have being snatching candy from a kid. But also that could be a deserved break from the nightmarish battles out there in the Compendium


It was ok, the story was coherent if a little vague. Everything was short, my biggest issue is that the design felt a little lazy in parts, particularly in Mission 3. Not the worst, but not the best.


This was my first custom mission and it was ok. All the missions were completed in 5-15 minutes. Went by really fast.


I found this battle to be fairly enjoyable. I don't mind the plot, and the mission briefings fit in well with the story line. Didn't encounter any bugs. Good work.


Overall, these are relatively short missions and direct to the point. There is sufficient variation and the story is told well. I tried this only on hardest and it's quite a challenge there, because you either have to destroy several fighters in the knick of time to prevent them from killing a craft you are protecting or are often found in overwhelming odds against you. The final mission is the exception whereby in a way you are rewarded for all your troubles. On that one you actually race to kill as many craft as possible before your fellow other FGs do. I got frustrated at times, but that's my own doing. Briefing and the in-game messages are good. Craft placement overall is ok. Sometimes you do get the chance to shoot some fish in a barrel. The A-wings get annoying pretty fast and... just don't let anyone get a missile lock on you as they always fire adv conc missiles. So even with full shields you are toast. My only issue is with the ISD Immortal, which mostly sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't get involved. But, I put that down to balancing the gameplay and difficulty of the missions.


An enjoyable five mission battle based on the plot of the EH undertaking negotiations with the ZT Force for resource privileges. The story advances well between each mission and the pre-briefing text and briefings are well written. I did find the mission briefings to be a tad fast at times, so be prepared to speed read.
The missions are also well made and are mainly based around dogfighting. I found the difficulty gap between Medium and Hard to be quite large. If you enjoy dodging Advanced Missiles in a TIE Advanced, then Hard is the option for you.
An enjoyable battle that I would happily fly again.


Nice, but rather too short set of missions - Combat was difficult at times without been impossible. Had a little trouble with the 'Shuttle' in mission 3 were she wouldn't dock.
