Battle Reviews

Fun and enjoyable mission. Pretty standard mission, which you can complete quite quickly. Will be worth replaying again on hard, just see how hard it could be!


You protector an Interdictor and a Repair Yard. Not much more to it then that, and the goals are such that you don't really need to repel the attack so much as fight off the first wave

NOTE: This free is seemingly in the compendium twice (also there as BoP-FREE #24), but #24 is the superior version, FWIW


A very forgettable battle, honestly. Some highlights are the laser batteries floating around on your side for a change. The two FRGs are mostly harmless, and the Rebel starfighters felt mostly the same. There was clearly some thought and effort put in to this battle, so if you want to sit back and enjoy it I think you easily could, but I played it quickly on easy and it is for that reason I recommend you play it; the easy points.


I like the placement and immersion part. I like the briefing. The actual battle is ok. I am interested to try it again at some point on hard.


Basic but nice mission about protecting your INT. 2 M/FRGs will deploy and launch several waves of fighters and bombers. Fast and straightforward, this mission is worth a try and finally a quick FCHG point in the ledger.


Solidly structured scenario where the Alliance conducts a two-pronged raid against an Imperial facility, reminiscent of the BoP campaign mission 'Capture INT Compeller' from the opposite perspective. Great use of spacing to reduce the effectiveness of gun platforms. A second player slot allows for a nice co-op experience. Criticisms: the rebel escort fighters aren’t threatening enough, and the mission is cheeseable with default rocket warheads, writing is sub-par.

PLOTLINE
--------

Deep in Rebel space, we have a small repair faiclity.  Currently housed in this facility is an Interdictor that is invaluable to our presence in this sector.  As it nears repair, you must protect the Interdictor from any attacks it may encounter.  It must get into hyperspace!  
In addition to this, you must also protect the repair yard, as if it is destroyed, we will no longer be able to service ships in the area.
