Battle Reviews

Objective completed. Witnesses eliminated. Mission accomplished.

I felt like a true professional operative carrying out a mission of incredible importance.


Assassination mission accomplished. Well designed and very entertaining.


A very COOL assassination mission. In my first run I've take the fastest way possible. In and out, objective completed. In future runs maybe I'll stay for more kills and points. First time flying the TIE Advanced too, very nice ship in a well crafted mission.


Really nice smooth mission. My first TFTC mission. Great use of using multiple Regions in the battle. And a good range of objectives per region. Glad I was in a TIE Advanced, cause while you are racing to the hyperbuoy, I think I counted 16 X-Wings coming after me. Would have been nice to have a little bit more of a dogfight... but not that one.


Really fun mission, you can either just stick to the objectives or go all out.


Well built mission. Action packed. Looks great as well. Good for a comp.


An interesting mission; loved the concept of the dampening field. Unclear why only one of the capital ships gives bonus points for destroying. Love the voice files; they do so much to bring the player into the mission; that said, would really love to see (hear?) some filters going on the in-mission voice files, so it sounds like the ones coming over the radio are actually doing so, instead of the person being right in the cockpit with me.


Fun goals and a neat sequence in the mission. I had fun.


Mission Description: Audio narrated backstory
Briefing: Clear concise layout of the mission.
Objectives: Believable and achievable.
Difficulty Played On: Medium
Replayability: Yes (Countermeasure, Beam & Ordinance selection)
Bugs: Nil observed
Summary: Solidy put together assassination mission which while quick and easy, has a professional feel to it due to all the audio.


PAR!

A Simple combat mission that can be fun to fly fast or for a high score.

Introduction
-------------
Some of my favorite stories in the XWA database were written and made by RogueWing. He
graciously has given me permission to remaster his battles into TFTC and I have chosen
to remaster XWA-F 29: Operation TakeDown.

Story
-------------
A Rebel Admiral has been identified as the one responsible for the successful 
attacks on several holdings of the EH. Phantom Squadron has been assigned to 
assassinate him. You will fly a specially modified T/A  that has a special 
dampening field. This should allow you to sneak up on his shuttle.


Audio
-------------

This battle uses an AI voice changer to alter my voice for the different roles.

Cast - In Order of Appearance
------------
All roles - Jagged Fell III
