The story is an easy 5/5 or more...but there is too much waiting and things are spaced too far apart requiring a lot of just flying to a destination.

Pretty fun... a bit too much downtime on occasion for my tastes, but certainly has some fun elements

Very nice battle. The plot thickens and there are all kinds of assignments in this battle. Flying the A-Wing isn't the best of you can do, but the capture and assault mission in the end was well developed. Good old, pure fun in this battle.

A much stronger offering than the previous battle; there were still too many inspection and minefield clearing missions for my tastes (one of either is too many), but the storyline is progressing nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion.
I just wish I didn't spend so much time in an A-Wing...

Well, I am still not sure who these Rion are or why we’re pretending to be Rebels establishing an Imperial presence in their space but by god we are really kicking their ass lately. I have to say, I am really liking these battles just for the sheer fun of them even though they do not quite make sense. The English is not great (and I was also under the impression that swear words were not allowed? Maybe I’m wrong?). A lot of the missions don’t make sense and of course every one of these battles has had the inevitable jump from point to useless point missions in at least one mission. I do not quite understand the point. But this battle (and all the Rion battles) definitely make up for it by being able to blow away tons of shieldless TIEs in X-wings or A-wings and even fly the occasional B-wing.

Technically all worked out as it should. Now I'm gonna be picky a bit: in mission 3, your squadron is constantly named 'Enforcer' in inflight messages and briefing text, but the FG's name actually is 'Intruder'. In mission three also, there are some story faults. For starters, you can already complete the 'simulate attack on SHU Sullust' abjective in region #2, by shooting at the shuttle after it enters the area, where no Rion forces see this happen. Then, after jumping into the region, I find it quite odd that all fighters that are supposed to be attacking the shuttle and the transports, ignore these and go straight for the enemy fighters that are over 8 clicks away! I for sure wouldn't fall for that one if I were a Rion Commander :-/ Then in mission 5, we seem to forget that we're acting to be Rebels, as we attack BOTH the Rion and Rebel forces. Hmmm...

It's these missions that made me want to join the IW. Not only is this mission technically great, but it adds a few pieces of creativity and fun in for a good mix of excitement.

Battle Bug Reports

In mission 2 you can get back to your base by going back through sector alpha. But then the mission does not end. So you need to go through beta. I haven't tested, but it seems the same is true for the following missions.

Mission 3: Intruder squadron (labelled as such in-game) is referred to as Enforcer several times during the mission itself and in the briefing. 'Simulate attack on SHU Sullust' can be completed before reaching the Rion base, which contradicts the plot\\briefing. Objective to escape Rion forces shows as complete before the player has hypered out of the Rion HQ region. GPLTs at the Rion base fly around like powered ships chasing IW fighters.

IW Battle 26 - Ambassadors Rion's Shadow Campaign Tour of Duty #4 ------------------------------ Despite our efforts, our covert has been broken and Confederate High Command learnt about the existence of a third party fleet operating in the sector, us; however, as we are using Rebel ships and tactics, they do believe we may be some secret Rebel fleet, and that the New Republic is planning to invade their territories for complete assimilation. This has resulted in the end of the current cooperation between Rion Confederate and New Republic, but new negociations are under way. Mission 1 - Dancing with the Wolves In our fourth phase of operations within the Rion Sector, we will make sure these negociations never come to an end. But the point is that we don't have a single idea of the location of the planned negociations. Our first goal will be to infiltrate the Rion Headquarters with Intel agents; once the negociations are located, we will conduct a hit and fade strike to capture the ambassadors. In this mission, you will fly a recon mission to the heart of Rion space, at their headquarters. In a lonely Ares X-Wing, you will have to go through all their defences... good luck. Mission 2 - Unexpected encounter Thanks to the informations you collectd last time, we have been able to plan the infiltration of the Rion Headquarters by Intel Agents. Before being able to actually realize this operation, we will need to capture some Rion transports. Therefore, in this mission you will help with the capture of a Rion convoy heading to the Rion HQ. You will fly a B-Wing from Razor Squadron, Some X-Wings from Black Squadron will assist you. We sent Enforcer Squadron on multiple recon missions around the interception point to make sure nothing harms this capture. Good luck pilot. Mission 3 - Beware of the Snake Greetings, pilot. Time has come to infiltrate the Rion HQ. Intel agents have taken possession of the convoy we captured in thelast mission, and will infiltrate the Rion base thanks to the Shuttle and the three Transports. In order to allow the infiltration, IW forces will make a diversion, and will simulate an attack against the convoy. You will fly with the first flight of Enforcer Squadron, two flights of White squadron will join you in the battle. Stay around the Rion HQ until Intel agents have entered the base; with the mess your attack will bring, they will be able to infiltrate the headquarters. Mission 4 - Blind and deaf Intel agents infiltrated in the Rion HQ have just sent us the information we were waiting, the location of the negociation between Rion and Rebel forces. They will meet in around three hours at Platform Erika, near planet Na'rrharesh. We don't have much time to prepare the attack, hopefully it should be enough. Before assaulting PLT Erika, we must make sure no reinforcement will arrive there, from either Rion or Rebel fleets. Therefore, we will bring little "modifications" to three Comm Relays around the area. These modifications will allow us to control those relays and make sure any reinforcement call won't find its way through the network. This mission needs more time than simple destruction of the relays, but if we do that way, our enemies will know instantly something is wrong. Three squadrons have been sent for this operation; you will fly with White squadron, and will take care of one of the Comm Relay. Mission 5 - Free-loaders Time has come for assaulting the Erika. The Warspite and the Fear have just begun the hyperspace sequence to reach the platform. Our sensors have detected two capital ships near the platform, each of our cruiser will take care of one, our assault transports will deal with the platform itself. All squadrons will be launched to gain the space superiority. You will fly an A-Wing in Shadow squadron, good luck out there ! ____________________________________________________________________________ Battle created by IWTAC/COL Striker (EH_Striker@mail.com) for the Infiltrator Wing THIS LEVEL IS NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY.
