XWA-IW 8: Obsidian Sector Campaign One
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
I think it could have used a bit more tuning and balancing in places, but on the whole certainly an enjoyable battle to play through
Pretty good battle, good use of different craft, and lots of senseless convoy killing.
alright battle but not very well balanced...................
This is what the IW was supposed to be created for, wreaking havoc and confusion behind enemy lines. The battle is very well deigned and it follows it by the book. Perhaps the difficulty is a bit high since you'll find yourself dodging missiles all along. Very good plot, very good development and a bit too hard.
Three out of five for me; the story is interesting, and fits what Infiltrator Wing SHOULD be: conducting false flag operations against the NR's would-be allies rather than against the NR itself. I wish there weren't so many missile-spamming enemies, though!
Bug-free, interesting plot. Oh, and a quality briefing... "We cannot continue to operate with the pirates in our ass". Thanks Reese, that made me grin all evening >:-)
This is an example of what a good IW battle can be and the plotline was provided by the COO himself so it's worth a try in the sim & it's always fun vaping some rebels;p.

Mission 2 (I think it was mission 2?) - The last VIP ship does not show up and I cannot escort it to safety. It is nowhere to be found.
