A mission that is easy to spam, takes a long time to get a good score on and can be quite tricky. You go in with rockets, send your wingmen to take the platform out, but they'll likely not survive for long. You then have to deal with wave after wave of fighters after which you are alone with a trigger happy platform. Good luck.

how in the world did the creator get this battle approved with one of the squadrons being called "Retard" squadron. That and some glaring IFF issues should get this battle some more love to make better.

Read Kalve's notes for mission 6 or don't bother to fly this one. This has some crazy mechanics to it that made me hate it. A final mission that requires you to follow specific steps or you won't be able to complete it due to random things.

In order to be able to play this battle, you must play TIE 95, not the TIE 98 version. Turn off the background settings once in flight (go to simulator if needed). Then bypass the CD-ROM error by hitting "F" when prompted once you launch the mission. Was able to finally complete it. Thanks Phalk and Hermann for letting me know.

terrible time sink of a mission, if you don't care about FCHG points avoid this at all cost.

managed to get this to work by using TIE 95 CD version from GoG. Did not transfer the mri file. Felt like it barely worked but its over with. Another mission complete that would otherwise leave a hole in my combat record. Now on to the last few bugged out missions.

One of the most frustrating missions i've played in a long time. The amount of replays I had to do because a ship got away due to being damaged and hypering out and thus missing the 100% of x craft has to be destroyed was way too high. If you have to scroll down because there are so many mission objectives than there is too much going on. Then the final mission is insane: Invincible asteroid station that you have to use your tractor beam to launch ships into. Took almost 40 minutes just to be able to do that and I nearly ran out of ships to beam. Extremely unenjoyable concepts, literally should be used in the mission creation course as the example of how not to create a mission. Skip this if you don't want to spend hours on frustrating missions.

Missions where your primary goal is to disable a target but you aren't given ions should be illegal when you have 4 ion capable ships that can't disable an unshielded target in 5 minutes before it hypers out.

Managed to complete it with unlimited waves because you don't have enough munitions to take down those 3 Golan 2s otherwise. If you choose the MB you'll have to choose between lasering down these stations with a single laser or eject and start over using unlimited waves. The TIE Defenders may die and be unsuccessful in disabling the platforms too at which point you have to restart the mission. If you play as a TIE Defender your MBs won't succeed in dropping those shields. Then the best part was that after you capture the stations there is a final wave attack on your cap ship and if you aren't near by they will destroy it making you hate the mission even more. Of course, since Dempsey does this in all her missions, I was expecting it. Completed the mission but due to unlimited waves ended up with a negative score so I didn't get completion credit. What a waste of time and terribly designed mission. Not worth spending hours on to complete.

Show up do nothing, mission completes. Now that is what it should've said on the goal screen instead of the other vague stuff. Shouldn't qualify as a mission.

This has been sitting here for 20 years. Unable to get that sweet checkmark for completion under BoP-TC battles in the Battle Center. It hurts. Could we do something about it? Maybe a competition to complete it maybe so the numbering system remains the same and it isn't a huge pain to remove this? I don't know.....but please, we have such established rules for submitting missions and battles, why does this exist?

Don't be Wolve.........install the patch instead of spending 90 minutes failing over and over again on mission 6 because you have to laser down a SSD. Other than that, really interesting design on these missions with a decent story too. One of the better missions I've flown despite struggling on some of it. Worth a fly.

M3 is ridiculous. If you finish the B-Wings in the first 10 minutes then you get a 10 minute show of watching ships just get transferred.

Are you considering playing this battle? Don't bother even installing it. First mission is damn near impossible to complete. Just read Yoda's 8 year old bug report to see why. Another battle that should've never passed the review process and be posted here.

Last mission is absolutely nuts. You finally manage to cover the Platform to be disabled and captured. Then a shuttle is supposed to dock but your own bombers will take out the platform.......even sending them home will just spawn a new flight....Its an issue over and over and this mission is just a huge pain because of it. One of the worst reviewed battles and its all because of that last mission. Was this tested by anyone?

First real Frodo battle that just didn't do it for me. Some of the missions were rather boring. Lots of protect missions throughout and to be honest in my opinion those are the worst ones when you fight tons and tons of waves of enemies, or when the protected target is just suicidal.

Some long missions, especially the last one. I had to play it twice because for some reason my wingmen decided to blow up a ship that was disabled and waiting to be captured. Frustrating but whatever, all together the missions are pretty decent with a large majority requiring just dogfighting.

Be aware, some of these missions you cannot play with unlimited waves on; enemies just won't spawn. The missions were enjoyable, nothing crazy. Interesting theme with AD Mike (and the boys) and you pretty much always feel like you are in a superior position with your Missile Boat. I believe in none of the missions you have any wingmen.

REally well made missions that are not extremely difficult to complete and are enjoyable to play. The story actually has a good progression that you don't always see in these types of battles. I would highly recommend playing this one.

Fairly basic missions that aren't too bad to complete. They can be quite a bit of fun as you see who would win in essentially a fleet battle. Unlike the horrible SWS fleet battles though, these are actually designed to be much better.

REally cool missions where you have to destroy a bunch of different cargo at first and then in the final mission you have to capture a Frigate. Don't forget in the final mission that you have to also capture the transport. It doesn't specify it specifically in the objectives but that's why there is a percentage bar in the goals. Enjoyable missions, some quite long, but definitely better than some boring missions and you get to fly the Missile Boat.

The first few missions were 'meh', but the final mission all made up for it for me. The strike on the ships and station were very satisfying. Other missions were frustrating because you finish the enemy off and then have to sit around waiting for the rest of the ships to finish their missions. Not great but not bad either.

Some of the missions felt like a slog. The first one was a bit of a pain for me for some reason. The later missions make up for it and are a little better to play. Lots of dogfighting in this one and that's really all you need to focus on aside from the last mission. Enjoyable to a degree but not my favorite by far.

A few missions that are mostly focused on dog fighting. Even the final mission was more about dogfighting than destroying the Rebel fleet, which was the vengeance plotline of the mission. Plotline isn't too bad and the missions flow nicely. Some of them are a little on the longer side but nothing too bad. Definitely worth a playthrough.

Fairly enjoyable missions in this battle. The first mission felt like a crazy amount of dogfighting with CPT Witcher level tactics of trying to just consistently ram you to death. Later missions have similar dogfighting and you definitely get challenged as you are usually outnumbered. The last mission you have to be careful to take care of the Interceptors as they are the mission critical craft. Would recommend.
