A good, well thought out mission that uses some interesting features of the game not normally seen in other missions. Be warned, this mission is not for the faint hearted and will take some serious thinking to get through. The tractor beam is very useful in this mission, if used in an unorthodox manner. Don't be afraid to call for help.

Let it be know that I *hate* flying unsheilded craft! Having gotten that out of the way, this is a good battle to sharpen your skills on with a nice variety ships to fly.

Despite what the other reviews say, I had fun with this, mostly it's a case of balancing your recharge lvls between the various systems and making sure you have enough laser power to make the SLAMS work when you need them ^_^ Sure you *do* have heaps of missiles, but you are flying a Missile Boat after all :)

As far as DB battles go, it wasn't *too* difficult, but you definately need to keep your wits about you at all times.

Good battle fo rthe most part, except for the last one, which featured wave after wave of ships, making it one of the longer missions I've flown for a while.

Great mission, reasonably hard to complete, but not impossible, a good mission for competitions.

This is a crazy mission, frustrating and fun at the same time. Take that Wally! Like someone said in another review here, not a mission for competitions. Very difficult to get all of the bonuses, but that's the way it should be!

Good Battle! Not too hard, but not stupidly easy either, you have to use the old brain a bit to get through this.

One word describes this battle : HARD! It's a good battle, but you *really* need to have your wits about you at all times, one mistake and you have to restart the mission you are on.

I like this mission. Not as difficult as it looks at first, a good hard fight without being over the top. The choice of fighter in this mission is good, if it was a T/F it would be too hard and if it was a T/A it would be too easy. A sheilded (!!) T/I is just right, despite the fact that the gun placement on the T/I is terrible! If you want a mission that is a bit of a challenge choose this one ;)

Not normally being an XWA flyer, I can't really say if this mission was good or bad, but I enjoyed flying it :)

Loved this battle, normally I don't like flying un-shielded craft, but this was good. Plenty of help around to keep the bad guys jumping and away from you! Loved the way certain names were used backwards in the game AG Ni-nor. LoL!

First 2 mission were good, not too difficult, but the next four I think somebody changed the medium missions for hard ones!

COL Beef strikes again, for the last time it seems, but what a way to go! A super-long 'battle' that actually replaces the first 5 battles in the game. Add to that an excellent story line (read the briefing!), the fact that every mission is different, some imaginative use of different ships and containers to make *very large* structures and the chance to fly some not normally flyable ships and you have an outstanding example of what can be done if you make the effort.

A hard mission, but one that makes you think, which is good. Too often a mission is a case of 'Fly there, blow that up and come back'. Not this one.

Odd battle. Had good bits (storyline) and bad bits. Mostly 2 ship types used for the 'bad guys', but you get to fly 3 types of fighters; T/A, T/D and Miss. Mission goals were good and not too difficult to complete, even if you don't pay attention to what is going on!

Good stuff about this battle most of the battle was well thought out and while being difficult, most of the mission weren't *too* hard to complete, after a few goes at them. BUT, there were a couple of missions that I couldn't seem to beat, mostly because I had 2 or 3 A/Miss coming atme at a time and just plain couldn't get out of the way. A battle that even people with above average skills may have trouble with.

If there is one word that describes this battle it is the word LONG. For a start it has more missions than most battles, but almost every mission will take you at least 20 minutes to finish. The battle is well thought out too, although mission six has the wrong fighter in it (my opinion). Missions that look simple aren't (if you hang around for a bit) and there *is* a lot of stuff to 'kill'....if you can survive long enough to do it ;) Good battle and perfect if you have a fair bit of time on your hands.

Not a wonderful battle. Difficulty levels are all over the place, going from reasonably easy in one mission to very hard in the next. The good thing about this battle is you get to fly a wide range of ships, from a T/F & T/B to a T/D and GUN. If you don't like surprises, don't fly this battle.

Liked this one a lot. Not much I can say here that hasn't already been said in the other reviews. Great battle map, but a little 'cramped' in, v.good briefing questions. While it is a hard mission, if you keep your wits about you, it is quite do-able.

This battle is not too bad and features the T/D in most of the missions with the Mis being placed in the remaining ones. Being able to order *all* of your ships around (including the Cap ships)was a bit of a novelty, but mission 3 was *very* long and had a lot of Z-95s in it. The only real problem with the battle is the 'one question' briefing officer and scanty mission maps.

Interesting mission, the use of the T/I made the mission a bit of a challenge.
