Just a simple platform capture operation. Think you can dogfight Z-95s and intercept Y-Wings in an unshielded TIE Interceptor, while close to a platform that's constantly shooting at you? Prove it by flying this mission.

I'd like to report that, while I was destroying the 12 Z-95s that were sent with the sole purpose of destroying a single missile boat, I lost almost all the other members of the squadron. I'm going to go 'bawww!' over them, just like the mission creator expected me to go if I lost that single missile boat.
Seriously, a very challenging mission, but it doesn't make sense.

A simple, but very challenging mission. It will teach you to have more respect for the Z-95. I'm sure there were a few funny radio messages, but... I was too busy dogfighting to read them all, sorry.

Not a very good battle. Some missions were unnecessarily hard. Looks like a guerrilla operation against the Rebels, since Avenger Squadron has to resort to captured enemy fighters and even an enemy capital ship. Flying X-Wings adds something different, but makes no sense with an elite squadron like Avenger involved.

Standard "made by a newbie" kind of battle. Normally, I would give it a 3, but the second mission is just awful, so I give it a 2.

Just the kind of experience I would expect from an ace like Dirty Vader. Great work.

A very boring mission. It's not that there's a lack of combat. It's just that the combat is repetitive. All missions are you against a large number of fighters and one or two capital ships or a ship and a station. On some missions, all fighters have missiles, so you get the picture. What’s most irritating is that the SSD Avenger is present, but it’s always too far away to even fire at the enemy ships or have any influence on the battle. It seems that this is a BoP battle just to show-off a SSD which is hardly noticeable. Pathetic.

Great battle, very enjoyable, challenging and fun at the same time. The only minus is that we have a separate fighter helping us instead of a real wingman most of the times.

Are you tired of always fighting the same Rebel fighters? Then fly this battle! E-Wings all the way! This battle features great scenarios and epic space battles. It has just the right difficulty and is a really enjoyable challenge. The only somewhat flawed mission is the fourth, that almost seems to have been made by someone else and doesn't fit in the whole battle. Aside from that, I loved every single minute of this.

Great battle. You get to fly the TIE Assault, which is basically a variant of the Tie Advanced that trades firepower for speed. The battle is fun and it's a good challenge. The only things I didn't like were having to install the PES for just one mission and the use of ships with advanced missiles on a mission where we have to cycle through targets and enemy fighters also have missiles. Aside from that, this battle is absolutely perfect and the dialogue at the end of the battle is a must.

Excellent old school battle, made in the original spirit of the game. The best thing about it is the difficulty curve, the battle gets harder with each mission. It also features a lot of combat. This battle is definitely a must in every combat record.

Way too easy. And what's up with sending B-wings against Tie Defenders? Watching an ISD destroy a frigate by shooting advanced missiles at it was weird.

Very challenging mission that demands some strategy. However, the idea of the WC in a Z-95 was lame. I bet that was his favorite craft back then, but I doubt he would use it in a situation like that, like any WC :P

It's not a bad battle, but it has plenty of flaws regarding the way enemy fighter groups act. A couple of missions are "you against the world".

Each mission of this battle has something new and there's a surprise at every corner. However, it's another battle where the originality is ruined by a crazy obsession for advanced missiles that makes the battle too difficult. You'll always be highly outnumbered and dodging advanced missiles. Don't worry about changing the difficulty level, because that will just determine how long your wingmen will last. While what you have to do is always different, you'll always have to do it by trying not to get hit by advanced missiles, which will be plenty in all missions. All missions are a close shave, where you have to do everything fast and in a clockwork way or else. The worst part is mission 4, where you have an interdictor that has a system malfunction, so you need to take out a bunch of enemy ships in a hurry and the only way to do it is to find the right order to take them out. And you also have friendly fighters bugging out instead of helping the player. After 5 nightmarish missions, you have the super-easy last mission, where friendly fighters are quickly disposed of by, you guessed it, a cruiser with two advanced missile launchers (they don't stop launching, baby!). And in the end, your main obstacle is trying to destroy as many enemy ships as possible, because, wow, all of a sudden, the EH has A LOT of gunboats with bombs to spare!

This battle was easy and simplistic and the plot made little sense, although it was original. The few times when the battle was hard were only caused by its stupidity. I know TIE has time compression, but it was boring nevertheless. The mission creator argues that disable/capture missions are always boring. Well, that's a big slap in the face for mission creators who mix those missions with interesting dogfights. I was going to give it a 2, just for the original plot and the part where the mines show up from nowhere (the only thing here that I hope to see more in the future), but then came the big shocker: mission 4! I'm just glad that wasn't released as a free mission. That mission is silly and simply doesn't work as the creator probably intended. I'd like to know why it was so urgent to call in the VSD Oppressor, when that ship just did exactly the same thing the ISD Subjugator did: stand still and do nothing!

Looks more like a training mission. You just face waves of fighters, then fighters with missiles, and then transport ships. I don't understand how it all fits in the mission's plot.

Unfortunately, anyone who never watched the "Cow and Chicken" cartoon won't be able to fully appreciate the humor of this battle. I enjoyed the storyline and the humor, and also the final battle with the kamikaze tugs. However, the third mission really kicks this battle in the balls. Fighting Y-wings with flares while dodging enemy fighters in an unshielded craft is really no fun. In some situations, I didn't even get to see the T-Wings nor the X-Wings. Nevertheless, this battle is a must for all fans of "Cow and Chicken". The infamous Red Guy would have been proud of his part here.

Boring, too easy and quick, with hardly any combat. It's a "I'd like to have a Medal of Tactics" kind of mission.
