Battle Reviews

This is really a 4.5 as the story is a bit weaker than Gidda's other battles but still a fun battle.


Another great battle from Gidda. Not fantastic but enjoyable.


I think it's pretty good. Definitely fun to play, with a pretty good difficulty balance. I do wish the plot had been a bit more cohesive, and I didn't much care for the destroy all starfighters goal in Mission #2 (which relies on luck far more than skill when ships are set up to hyper away if they get too damaged). Those are the two factors in preventing me from marking it higher, but it's definitely still a solid battle.


Good battle, pure fun. The story is very well developed, the FGs names are so masterly picked. The missions mostly revolve around the GUN and the T/A, two of the best and more versatile starfighters in the Imperial arsenal. Again, the story is excellent and the name choosing was excellent. A very good campaign

**Notes**

This battle has been created for a Dark Brotherhood competition and it is supposed to 
be  really hard if played on Hard difficulty level so there's no shame in playing the 
missions on Medium or Easy dfficulty levels.

I didn't test this battle with XWA Upgrade patches. If you use XWAU patches and any 
crashes occour, uninstall the patches before to play the missions again.


**Installation Instructions**

1) Create a backup copy of the following files
   ../Mission/mission.lst
   ../fronttxt.txt
   ../Frontres/Tour/Squad5.cbm

2] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle.
3] Check the Misc folder in your BoP one for additional material like patches, sounds etc.
4] Press the Balance of Power button to start BoP and fly the battle.
