It was an okay battle. One mission is really tough, the others are quite easy. Storyline is kinda cool, it's different than ''Kill the NR fleet'' plot. There's some strange stuff though (why the Challenge and the Relentless are VSD?) and some missions are way longer than they should be, but there's no fatal bug killing the mood, so it's a safe battle to play in a competition. Well done.

So I've played this battle after reading the reviews, and I thought it couldn't be that bad. It's basically an advertisement for Taco Bell, and since I ate only one time at that fast-food, I don't really get the hype around it. Anyway, the battle itself is not so badly made, and it's kinda fun actually. Until mission 5. It's stupid, and you can see the maker did not test it before submitting it. It's just broken, and ruins the battle itself. I understand that we want to offer many battles to our members, but that's one battle that should be removed, or at least reworked. It's just bad and I've wasted already too much time playing and reviewing it.

It was a good battle. The plot is a bit weak, could be improved to make it more interesting. I liked the scale of the battles though, specially the last one, it felt ''Star Wars-ish''. Overall, the battle is easy, only the first mission is somewhat challenging.

The plot is okay. Classic attack against a Rebel base, protected by various ships. You soften the target in the first missions and, well, I let you guess what's the finale. The missions are well done, exception for a secondary goals in mission 2 I think, that is impossible to do. Not sure if it's the same mission too but there's a seemingly never ending wave of A-Wings, and it's just boring. Overall, it's easy, as you fly the missile boat..and it's overpowered, but not memorable. Something to recommend to get a Squadron Citation, but nothing more.

I don't see the hype about this battle. The missions are well done, and you can see there has been work done to remove any bugs, but overall, the plot was kinda boring and cliché. Some missions are really stupidly tough, while others are too easy. Not a total waste of time, but I didn't enjoyed this at all.

This battle is how you make a good, fun battle. One of the best I ever played. Everything is working perfectly, the briefings are great, it's well balanced and the story is credible. I specially like how the creator made it ''realistic'' by making a CRS and a CRL a potent threat, and taking multiple steps to eliminate them. Well done, a must.

Reviews are kinda harsh about this battle. Don't take the plot seriously, and just enjoy playing an easy battle with the T/D. Last mission should convince you to stay sober for the rest of your life, it's a complete mess but the battle works properly, no bugs whatsoever and it's fun, just far for being the best in the compendium.

The battle is good, the missions are well done, but some are quite hard. Some bugs are weird though, and might be game breaking for those looking to get the maximum points. The storyline is..okay, I guess, just like a James Bond movie has a very thin storyline. Still, enjoyable and challenging.

The battle was a challenge, yet I had fun playing it. Some missions are frustrating and the last one is taking some time to complete, but they were well done. The storyline could be a bit more meaty though, as we don't fully get the motivation of everyone. The weakest part for me is using ships that aren't part of the EH...I just don't get it.

The battle was enjoyable, the missions were well made. There's obvious indications that the original TIE missions were used to create it though. I was expecting to defend our fleet against the NR, but you're always on the offensive, so I'm kinda confused about the title. Quite easy, fast to complete and overall fun to do, but nothing exceptional here.

-1 for that Star Trek reference. Another quick mission with no replay value, something that you can accomplish while doing your laundry. If you're looking for a challenge, you're really, really not in the good place.

As everyone pointed out, most likely the easiest mission you can play here. It's ridiculous. Saving the Empire by killing 3 MUTR Transports that are attacking an ISD? That's genious.

Not much to say than what was said already. It's a quick mission, without any challenge whatsoever, and as Turtle said, you can't beat the HS. Do it for a competition (*coughRtFcough*), if you want fun, get another battle!

I give two because the missions are working properly. That's pretty much the only highlight of the battle; you fly, you destroy many Rebel ships with basic names like ''Death'' or ''Leader'', and rinse and repeat. At some point I thought I was playing the same mission than before. The briefings are boring and copy/pasted, just like the missions. It's too bad, as the maker clearly had skills to do a good battle, but either he lacked motivation or imagination (or both) to move this CAB battle from forgettable to legendary.

This battle was well made, without any visible bugs. The storyline is okay, I'm not a big fan of the alphabet fighters, but since it's a IW battle I can't really count this against it. The third mission was tough, but if you follow the orders it's way easier. Good job!

As most people said already, the mission was too easy, no challenge at all. This is the kind of mission that your wingmen do everything for you, unless of course you want points. That being said, everything works as it should and it's well made.

Overall, the battle was fun and well made. Some missions were quite easy, others required a bit more skills and good timing. However, the last mission was a total failure. As someone else mentioned, the container that was supposed to be ''captured'' was boarded instead, thus making impossible to complete the secondary objectives and bonus goals.

I wish I liked this battle. I really do. The plot was good enough, the briefings are well done. But some missions are just killing the whole battle. The one in the B-Wing is so tough that I lost interest in the battle, and the last one is just ridiculous. In general, the safest strategy is just to duck and wait...and it's boring. Too bad, it has potential but in my opinion, it wasn't a good experience.

This battle is easy, easy like...you can almost do nothing and the goals will be completed by themselves. Shout out to my old Relentless pals here though! But it feels like this battle was the result of a competition made by Hammer squadron back in the days; no plot, almost no briefings, and a big destruction fest. Just some pilots making a mission and putting them all together to make a ''battle''. This is the kind of battle you fly when you feel lazy but still looking for some kind of accomplishment so your day isn't wasted totally.

Did anyone test flight this battle? On hard?
That's the question I kept asking myself all the way, until I just stopped caring and switched to invincible and unlimited ammo. It's sad as the plotline is decent and the missions are well done, but it seems nearly impossible to do them without ''cheating''. I feel like the battle as the ''TIE Fighter syndrome'' - the designer thought the TIE Advanced and TIE Defender are unstoppable warmachines that can decimate waves after waves of fighters in quick succession. Sorry, but this wasn't fun for me.

This is a bad battle, in pretty much every aspect. The storyline is bad; we don't know what's going on, there's no background whatsoever. As pointed out by another review, the briefing screens are minimal. Some stuff said by the officer were taken from the original TIE missions with slight modifications to fit ''the story''.

Talking about missions, they're boring and lack any kind of interest. They don't make sense, as you're always outnumbered even when it's supposed to be a big military operation from the EH against Rebels. They're so hard that I just gave up and took the cheats to beat the last two missions; at that point I just wanted to finish it and get to another one.

Overall, it feels as if the creator thought that his ''tests'' missions that he created were good enough to be an official EH Battle. Wrong. And that's the kind of battle I would remove from the Battle center altogether, as it's just pointless.

The battle was overall boring, feels incomplete and could be skipped. I give 2 points because it's working without bugs, even though mission 2 and 3's ''spawn'' points are a bit weird. The story gives no background, we don't know anything about the villains and everything feels ''unrealistic''. Where's the EH Fleet? How can a single Star Destroyer be responsible for a whole campaign against an Imperial warlord? Why are we sending so few starfighters against that kind of enemies?

I think this battle has a good core and could be reworked to make it better, if someone ever cares to do it.

Great plot here, I've really enjoyed flying the battle. The difficulty level was perfect (it makes me angry sometimes when I wasn't able to do the mission in one shot ;)) The fact that you can call reinforcements when you need it is a plus. Good work!

The battle is the classical "Destroy the Rebel fleet because they're Rebels" . The missions are well made though, but if the plot was more developped, it would have been a better battle.
