Another poorly balanced mission on hard difficulty which forces the player to take infinite warheads if they want to beat the mission. 48 B-Wings cannot be handled by the player and AI alone, your wingmen die to the advanced missiles of the X-Wings which then devastate your allied craft quickly which leaves you alone. There is also nothing protecting the base itself, meaning you have to shoot down any torpedoes launched, and the base can be under attack from 12 B-wings at once. If you focus on the X-Wings, the B-Wings kill your base at the start.

I VERY well made story and mission. I especially like all the activity in the space port.

A well constructed mission, which gets you hyper to several areas - the plot-line was tight and well thought out, which was nice to see and a good level of suspense was generated making sure you captain (flying about in a shuttle as usual!) didn't get killed off!
