Battle Reviews

There are some gems hidden in this battle, and yet some parts feel not so grat. It's always a joy to get behind the wheel of an X-Wing or a B-Wing etc. In mission 3, go and attack the two Calamaris in the far distance :D


An average, yet flyable battle. The missions are quite simple, either dogfight or capship bombing. Overall it is worth some 5 FCHG, but there are better ones out there to be played. However, it is an easy, straightforward battle with a decent plotline, so if you ran out of missions to fly, you can consider this one. Word of advice, B-Ws versus T/As with missiles is going to be painfully difficult. Watch what you are bombing in order to avoid unpleasant encounters.


In the encyclopedia under ‘Catastrophic Disaster’ it reads see this battle.


Not brilliant but has some nice touches , so It's worth a look


I really hated those execution squads that popped out of nowhere to kill you once you've disobeyed an order. Other than that, this was a pretty easy battle.

Mission 2: B-Wing Shadow have no orders after disabling the Rebel platform, causing them to return to the Warspite when there are still enemies flying around.

Mission 3: FRT Loother is referred to as FRG Loother in the objectives list.

Mission 4: M/FRG Ka'tal and INT Vernichtung collide at the end of their first waypoint. CRS Glory and CRL Liberty's first waypoint puts them on a collision course with the IW cruiser Warspite.

Mission 5: M/FRG Ka'tal attacks the Rion craft and base immediately, rendering the plot point of disguising with Rebel IFF (and the initial in-flight messages) pointless.

Introduction
------------
Mission 1 - Finding the Rebs
As you know, the second phase of our operations in the Rion system is about to begin! The goal is to 
cut the Rebels lines of communications and supplies route, and in the process, inflicting maximal 
casualties on them. 
Many Rebels convoy have been tracked to these 4 docking facility in the Rion sector by Imperial 
Intelligence, but we ignore on which the rebels are based on. FA Darkov has ordered that this depot 
must be captured...  So you are to go out and identify every platform.
You'll be leading leading White Squadron Flight 1. The Rebels were relying on secrecy to keep that 
station from attack, so they shouldn't have a lot of defensive forces. But they may call for more. If 
they don't have a lot of ships at their bases, that's probably because they keep them in reserve...
Whatever you do, DO NOT fire on the platforms! We don't need problems with them for now. But don't 
worry, we'll take of them later...

Mission 2 - Stealing from the Rebs
First of all, defend the Warspite!!! Secondly, you have to assist in any way you can for the disabling 
of the Rebel platform and make sure the the freighter captures the Rebel supplies...
The Frigate and the Carrack cruiser are already firing on the Warspite...
Also, the rebs have been launching fighters to interfer with our operations.

Mission 3 - Rebel reinforcements
The DREAD is right in the way of the Freighter... You MUST blow it up or we will lose these valuable 
supplies! Also, with the Rebels reinforcements, we can't hold to the platform, so we will have to blow 
it up. We can't let the Rebels recapturie that starbase! 
Surprisingly, the Rebel capital ships have only launched a few starfighters. Their cruisers are too 
far away to be of any help, so these fighters will be your primary concern once the Dreadnaught is 
space debris...

Mission 4 - Imperial reinforcements
Wipe out the enemy! Simple, isn't it? Just be cautious about the Warspite, her shields generators are 
still down and the Interdictor is likely to receive the blunt of their attack as they probably want to
have a back door... Because they'll need it!!!
You'll fly in Knight squadron's X-wings and be carrying a double load of advanced torps. They launched
every fighter they have readied, as we did... Concentrate on eliminating their starfighters, the big 
boys are able to take care of themselves...

Mission 5 - Destroy the Confederation Starport
Your orders are to wipe out the small outpost... There is a small Rionese Fleet to take care of too... 
As you know, we don't have a lot of ressources to commit to that mission, so we'll mainly gamble on 
the surprise effect to win that one... You will using Rebel transponder code for that mission, as will
the Ka'Tal. Wait for her orders to attack before firing any shots. Timing will be crucial in this 
mission...
You'll be leading Panther squadron's Y-wings in this mission. You craft was modified to carry a double 
load of heavy space bombs. 
This is a second line position, more of a supply station than anything else. Expect some fighters 
to cover the attack and the ships in the area will likely assist in the defense of the platform.
