Battle Reviews

Interesting plot, let down by poor execution. Hint: Mission 02 requires you to let the Shire be captured, otherwise it will result in a failed mission (so let the enemy disable and board her). The finale in particular was a let down, with a passive Rebel cap fleet sitting static allowing you to piecemeal engage them with little to no concerns, having to grind down 6 interdictors with (mostly) blaster fire is not a particularly engaging bit of gameplay. Lots of potential here with some tidying up though.

Oh, and nice to see Wedge Antilles Clone 7892 and his wingmates made it out of the vats to join the fight as Rogue Sqdn again.


A bit of a disappointment considering this is a Frodo battle. While I usually don't care about what he throws at you in his battles due to the humorous nature of the missions, in this battle there is not much to look at except a few details here and there. And so, it has to be reviewed as any other battle.

Usual set of missions, with very minor annoyances in dogfight balance, but nothing that makes the battle extremely difficult or forces you to follow many usual patterns on protect or destroy missions. The last mission, however, is slightly annoying. Not enough ordnance and too many cap ships around to deal with, which drags the mission for too long.

Not the best he got out in our compendium, but still flyable if you have nothing better to do.


Horrible. The capital ships have no orders,while both the friendly and enemy ships that do have orders dont exactly 'add up'. In addition, in the first mission you should ensure not to fly 'too well'. Quite a few problems with this battle which could have been fixed. Plus in the last mission you are asked to kill a ton of Interdictors that sit around and their optional-to-destroy esscort sits around equally as well.


Playable, almost enjoyable, but far from the high level of other Frodo's production. As usual, player will fly the ever-present T/A while defending my preciouss INT Shire. Mostly dogfights against nastieses trying to steal it from uss. In one particular mission if you are too efficient at killing the attackers, the mission will never end. This was a major nuisance, since I figured it out after 2 or 3 attempts of waiting endlessly for your ships to hyper out. They were never supposed to, as Frodo didn't expect you to save them from being disabled. We hatess it.


I like the INT Shire battles a lot, but this lost several points for bringing some knifes to gun fights... there are a couple of missions that don't have Frodo's signature knack for small conflict balance and just throw too many ships at you. It doesn't add to the challenge, just to the time required


Ok some of the mission contain a few niggardly points, like sometimes it hard to workout what's exactly going on, or you get friendly craft just fly around seemingly doing nothing. The battle isn't HS maker too many friendly craft, and with the shortage of radio's, a player can become swamped by friendly craft very quickly. Med - Easy battle - too many friendly craft and no radio.


Buggy, needs some changes, but overall not too bad. I can't give it a higher rating because neither VA Brakka or I would have ever allowed the Rebs to get away with our INT in the first place. :P


Wait wait wait. We stink becase we have skill and can "beat" the mission. We know how to win the mission but we choose not to sit around on our butt but to actualy try. That is why mission 2 failed. And that should be changed so one does not have to fly the mission twice to beat it. That is why it can be considered a bug.


A Fantastic mission, i loved it! What do you mean not enough Y-Wings? If you guys killed all of them, then you deserve to wait for twenty minutes
