Battle Reviews
I'm sorry, but I do not agree this is worthy of the scores you guys have given it.
Its truly hard for me to judge this battle independently as it does truly belong in a series with battle 77. Still, I should try to judge it on its own merits and this one just isn’t quite as good. Its still well written like its predecessor and has some fun missions for sure, but those difficulty hops were a bit hard to swallow. On the plus side, its bonus goals are either non-existent or easier to figure out, which is an improvement over the first battle in this series. Those last two missions are what keep me from giving this one a 5 however. If mission 4 wasn’t so easy then so hard all at the same time due to those new fighters with Adv. Concussion missiles and if the last mission wasn’t so easy that I could finish it in 5 minutes this battle would have walked away with a 5. Still, I recommend this battle wholeheartedly especially if you have already played battle 77. You owe yourself the pleasure of finishing off the series that was so well written. I give it a 4.40 (Rounded down to a 4 for purposes of the EH review scale)
This is a well constructed battle that I recommend everyone to fly. It has lots of nice dogfighting...very nice.
I thought that this was a very fun battle (I only played it because it's required in the SSSD Sovereign's CR 12) and I liked the witty comments from the briefing officer. But, however, it wasn't much of an encounter with the Verpine race. I blew up more Rebel scum than aliens.
It was a very good continuation of the Verpin battle. I enjoyed this double battle.
