It's a Missile Boat battle that uses the ship the way it's intended to, with a couple clever twists that keep it from feeling too same-y. It's also very well implemented with gorgeous backdrops and fun audio. But what I really appreciate the most is the documentation of EH history in battle form, which in my heart of hearts is what I love to see added to the Compendium the most. So all around, a terrific battle that was a blast to play!

On its own, this is a terrific battle, well designed with a fantastic plot to boot (some occasional timey-wimey confusion aside). But from a remaster standpoint, it's particularly special, especially considering the TIE Praetor, which flies like a dream and has never looked better. This is absolutely one you don't want to miss!

There's a lot of talk about blasting 120 T/Fs, but... you absolutely do not need to do that! Disable the platform, protect the transport. Keep the T/F numbers low if you want to make protecting the transport easier. Inspect and take out the shuttle after it arrives. Easy peasy.

Mostly a showcase for the D/CRV, and there's nothing wrong with that. Not sure how many good missions are in the compendium that involve flying a Z-95, but this is definitely one of them.

Fairly inoffensive and simple mission about capturing booze and destroying Rebels

Gunboat poorly armed with missiles and 4 waves must destroy a CRS and some X-Wings and Y-Wings. Goal is unnecessarily obscure (it's destroy 75% of all Rebels, if you're curious).

Oh boy. Mission #1 is a snoozefest, just one of the longest wait time missions in the compendium. I personally sent my wingmen home at the start of the mission as I preferred to face 12 X-Wings myself rather than risk the AI destroying one and forcing me to restart.Mission #3-5 are progressively more and more cap ships you need to laser down to finish the mission.
I can't give it a 0 as it's not completely broken. But it's definitely pretty bad!

Inconsistent is definitely the word I would use to describe this one. In short, we have...M1) A standard inspection mission
M2) A surprisingly brutal capture operation
M3) Attack one ship and then wait around for 10 minutes
M4) Destroy a single satellite
M5) Standard large battle where you'll mostly protect your M/FRG and then probably end up lasering down some cap ships to get the rest of the mission to finish up (and then probably wait around)

Granted I opted for Easy considering the reported difficulty issues, and it does have some areas lacking polish beyond that, but all in all it's a decent battle, and something of a relic of the old Fear vs. Warspite beef. It's a kooky one but I did find it amusing, and appreciate it was a quest for caf as opposed to alci (although the latter may have better explained some of the actions of the Warspite...)

Destroy a healthy amount of X-Wings and Y-Wings, triggering the withdrawal win condition for the cap ships. That's it. I don't like that the Gunboats are seemingly ordered to take out the cap ships but aren't armed for it at all.

Incredibly straightforward destroy-a-CRS mission. Attack against the Alliance indeed.

On the plus side, a shieldless TIE Interceptor. On the downside, can be done in 90 seconds. Just a bit too simple here.

Relatively equal forces collide in a straight-forward us vs. them assault mission. Definitely played as the Gunboat for this one

Destroy three laser batteries. There's some window dressing around that and some T/Bs to aid you, which helps make the mission not as tedious as it sounds... but it doesn't help THAT much.

I have a soft spot for proper unshielded T/I missions, so keep that in mind. But I really loved this one. Great briefing and concept, good fight that, while admittedly mostly about surviving against other TIEs in a big dogfight, also requires protecting your CRV (watch out for those Bombers) and other touches (like the CRV perfectly circling around the factory) that just makes the whole endevour feel extra special. Only complaint is having to help out the CRV laser down the defenseless factory at the end, but that's a quibble. I loved this one.

Perfectly fine to fly, just let down a bit by being a little obtuse about its secondary goals

Perfectly acceptable IW battle! I did select the B-W flight group every chance I got, as I prefer to be flying the ships that impact the mission objectives directly

It's definitely a CAB, which I appreciate. Well plotted, well executed. Perhaps one too many capture operations, but they do feel unique. I did enjoy the mix of craft as well, although I'm not sure anyone can make a good TIE Phantom mission, sadly.
