The threat was real - only a handful of wingmen to fight off the evil B-Wings while X-W Squad covers your six. It seemed realistic. At least more realistic than usuall all-powerful T/D vs Y-Wing squads. I would reccomend it for a competition.
OMG! This is certainly different than any other XWA battle in the Mission Compendium. It doesn't feature lots of plot action BUT it's designed as a real challange for the pilots. Hey of course I got disabled twice in the first mission and it was frustrating, alright - The real shocker was getting the effort failed by moving from the bouy! The first rule of flying came to mind... FTFO! Follow The Frickin Orders! Heh. And the fourth mission is a masterpiece. I know nothing about mission disigning, but I can imagine how dificult it was to make no. 4. And when all the mission objectives turned green after 5 attempts I felt REALLY REALLY PROUD of myself. That rarely happens when playing computer games. The battle diserves a 6 IMO. 5 must do.
A good battle with the old friends (eh...DS...). And hey! Vlad and I are in it! And lot's of forgotten motives like the PIN machine, monk code and so on. This makes this battle Monkish! A MUST-FLY for all Grey Wolfers. I am giving it a 4 - it's a bit bugged (see below).
Well... I never supposed to be first to submit a review... Hmm... What can I say about the battle... AWESOME! GROOVY! MONKISH! High level of GWSOoM humour, challenging missions. Great fun. One of my personal favourities! Fly IT
