XvT-F 244: Dempsey's Quest #13: Barnacle Strike
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
A decent mission but a weird placement of the platform inside the base meaning it destroys the base on its own and lack of additional craft waves when facing 2 platforms and 2 extra capital ships means it can't get a higher score
A solid Missile Boat mission, of the classic variety. The Supa Fighters were a nice twist, and I found that fighting them gave the whole thing a bit of a different feel - in a lot of ways, they almost feel out of another game. Not bad for a series all about fighting a third faction
Good mission from Dempsey again. It's a basic attack on a cluster of platforms and spaceport, in the glorious swan shaped Überbomber of the past. The MIS mk.I was one of the most beautiful fighters in the inventory and is a bliss to have it back. The rest of the mission is pretty standard and the compound is very well designed. The Supa fighters were a nice touch, but prevalently for looks more than function. Worth a try, and an honest FCHG point.
