Battle Information
Pink Lollipop 2002: worst TIE battle of 2001
Battle Reviews
I played on Easy with cheats. Even with that on, the final mission is a slog. I hate minefields with the burning fire of one thousand suns and that's literally all you do on M4 is clear minefields. If you hate mines half as much as I do, run away.
I would say for most missions switch your weapon loadout to use rockets if you want to do it faster. If there's not ever a single mission with mines, I would finally be able to die happy. Fairly quick for RTF points.
It's a reasonable battle until you hit the final mission, as I found the ATR's attacking the lone T/F tended to do it within 15 seconds of mission start, leaving you very little time to orientate yourself and destroy them. Could have been a 4 but for that final feature.
Good missions, save for the mine clearing. Mine clearing is tedious in general. The briefings left something to be desired, unfortunately. They felt like an afterthought almost.
The shame of this is there's a really interesting premise. The idea of being in the FCHG and having to repel an assassination is actually a good setup. Unfortunately, the briefings are non existant and there's no effort to make it a real story. The missions are also incredible basic and rote.
Battle certainly lived up to it's award
Boring and uninspired. Flying in overpowered TDs all the way. If you like taking out defenseless ISDs or XQ6 platforms by yourself, shooting lots of space mines, and flying around knowing nothing can touch you because you are in the super-woosh TIE Defender, then this battle is for you. The plot adds nothing to the battle, the briefings are poor and a sense of excitement is completely lacking. For those looking for a stimulating battle, look elsewhere.
Buggy, not particularly creative, VERY limited briefings, typos and grammatical errors...need I say more?

Title: Fleet Comander's Honor Guard Missions: 4 Medal: Plaque of Honor Game Platform: TIE Author: FL/LT Cobolt/Raptor 2-1/Wing XX/ISD Subjugator (EH_ACE@YAHOOGROUPS.COM) Installation Instructions: Required patches ---------------- * none Installation instructions -------------------------- 1] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle 2] Check the Misc folder in your TIE95 one for additional material like patches, sounds etc. 3] Press the TIE Fighter button on the EHBL to start the game 4] Create a new pilot and fly the first battle Mission 1: Its the annual anniversary of Emperor's Hammer. The Grand Admiral decided to present the medals to the EH personnel himself. He takes his personal ATR and his escort HG and goes to Sovereign. Once he exits hyperspace several A-wings exit hyperspace and attack him. Your job is to defend him. Mission 2: Intel tracked the A-wings to a remote region, home of the Assassin's Guild. The GA postpones his trip to personally wipe out the Assassins. Once Sov exits hyperspace we are contacted by the enemy leader. He says that Rebels hired him. And gives us the coordinates of the enemy fleet. The EH destroys the base and goes to the Endor System. Mission 3: We were lied to, this isn't a small base, but a Fleet's HQ. 3 CRSs with 3 Wings of fighters are incoming. Your job is to protect the SSSD with the GA on board. Within minutes reinforcements arrive. A FRG from Minos Cluster. We think its our ally, but instead he turns on us. From conversation we understand that the Minos fleet rebelled because it didn't get its deserved medals. The FRG is destroyed and we enter hyperspace. Mission 4: We come out of hyperspace in the Minos Cluster, Planet #3. From a datacard we find out rogue EH gave up, after the ISDs crews opened fire on them the ppl who gave up, took out every ISDs instruments and went to give up. 2 ATRs are around from the crews. Your job is to escort the HCI on a killer mission to kill the ATRs. After that your job is to disable the ISDs for capture. Conclusion: The FC had his revenge and now continues on his award ceremony.
