Battle Reviews

The story is ok but nothing great and the action (at least on Easy) is a bit too light. I did like the choices of backdrops for the missions though.


Concise little battle but not really spectacular and a bit repetative. Shifting to focus to the troops taking the station is a nice idea though.


The idea of Hammer's Fist based missions is very good. Also, involving unusual starfighters as the ISP or the IES is a good idea, since it means the support should be given by naval units and TC fighters. It probably would have had more sense if a tip of the TC spear was showing up, like fighter cover from normal squadrons or a special branch. Anyway, the battle was good and well structured, perhaps too many Razor Fighters all at once, since a DREAD and a STRKC are unlikely having 3 or 4 full squadrons aboard.


I'm giving this a two out of five for the following:
PROS: Missions are concise, make some degree of sense, and can be completed while cooking dinner.
CONS: Why does the Hammer's Fist have Hyperspace-capable starfighters? Isn't that the TIE Corps' job?

This battle, to me, felt like an excuse to use modded ships and little more.
