I am docking it down for two reasons, for a battle named Marg Sabl, we never did a Marg Sabl...and second in that there are too many allied fighters, there never felt like there was any threat, by the time I would target a fighter it would be either half destroyed or just destroyed by another.

Decent battle worth some good dogfighting and plenty of fun. You are riding T/A against multiple alphabets and escorting Skiprays bombing some rebel flotilla. Thrawn will be watching, so perform or lose face. Worth some FCHG point for Chiss.

I really liked this mission.A lot of dogfighting,I love it.Congratz to the creator.


I really liked this mission. It wasnt perfect but it was pretty near. The dogfighting was cool. The only problem was the Tie Fighters kept on ramming me and getting destroyed :( Anyway I was in it so that was cool :)

All in all a good mission. The story was good but next-time you should make the mission more interesting. Not only dog-fighting. It was nice to see the Python Squadron in real-combat action :) Good Job Vallyn.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! THEY ARE ALL AROUND ME! GET THEM AWAY!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS AN HOUR OF PURE HELL! 4 A/FRGs, 3 wings of fighters and all you wing men die in the first 5 mins!!!!!!! Then the rebs try to stop you from getting back to the ISD for protection so you are all alone fighting 8 ships at a time with more flights constantly comming in!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent 10 mins after 1 hour of dog fighting trying to kill the _40_ pilots floating in space for a total of 400 points in pilots killed!!!! Unfortunatly they count for nothing since I had to use invincibility to last through the dog fights! Fortunatly for me I am a my wings nurse and a jedi so I could hold of the pain till I finished but My arm was killing me for like 5 hours after wards! So basically what I am saying is I never want to fly a mission like that ever again!

Brief Story Line
----------
After that last inspection mission, it's time to link forces with Thrawn. The newly appointed COM, RA Hawkie visits Thrawn with 2 flights of Fights to talk about strategy. Near the end, the Chimaera is attacked. You'd better warm-up that control yoke, because there are three wings of rebbies to kill. That doesn't include the Assault Frigates eating away at the Chimaera. 

NOTE 
-------------------
You need the XWA (or at least all the ships involved there), as far as I know
no other patches are needed.
