XWA-DB 4: The Shadow Academy: Dark Fury
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
Great battle and story but needs a few tweaks to the orders to be truly amazing.
I think it's a terrific "Battle #1" for a Dark Brotherhood member. I'm tempted to rank it even higher, there's just a couple bugs and minor quibbles from stopping me from doing so. But a great battle, well worth playing!
The first mission is a tough nut to crack. It is one of these: you have to find out what to do exactly at the right moment in the right order or you will be to late and fail. The other three missions after that are easy peasy in comparison.
An interesting battle. The first mission is certainly tricky and you have to find your 'own' way to beat it. The rest of the missions are fairly simpler, inspect, dogfight and bombing runs. I enjoyed it a lot, especially after I made passed the first mission. Recommendable
Finally a battle that's actually easy on easy :)
Very good battle, with some missions that push your skill. Only mission I didn't like was the first one.
Overall a good battle, the only thing was that You Don't have a Command Ship to fly home to. but have to push the Q to exit the mission.

Crest Files fronttxt.txt ---> \XWingAlliance squad5.cbm ---->\XWingAlliance\frontres\tour Description: (for a detailed description, see plotline.doc in the XvT version of "The Shadow Academy: Dark Fury" Mission 1: Rudimentary Maneuvers An Apprentice of the Brotherhood, you are sent on a basic training exercise turned bad. Illicit cargo is discovered and a rebel patrol shows up. Fight your way through the force to survive while you cover the boarding operation of the "special" craft. Mission 2: Furtive Reconnaissance Having caught the eye of your masters, you have been assigned to a recon mission, alone. A DB patrol discovered the rebel base associated with their SCT and M/CRV from the last mission. Inspect the base, and leave. This should be easy and very straightforward. Look out for suspicious activity. Mission 3: Shadow Academy Assault The rebel fleet has launched an assault force from their base to take out the Shadow Academy. Protect the base at all costs. Support our bombers and destroy their fighter force. Brotherhood reinforcements should arrive soon. Hold out until then! Mission 4: Strike at Rebel Headquarters Revenge! Now, it's our turn. Under the Imperial Star Destroyer II Dominance, do the bidding of Battlelord Pyralis. Destroy the rebel fleet and base. Don't let anyone escape. This must be quick. Support the bombers with your own heavy rockets or if necessary, escort by destroying any fighter force. Good luck!
