This battle has managed in just over two hours too destroyed any and all expectation I had regarding XWA. Pure punishment from the very beginning, until the could come quick enough ending.

A great battle to get one started as an XWA pilot, simple, not to complicated, and easily followed. Nice piece of work.

It’s very hard to give a dire report when someone has worked so hard. The flying element of the battle wasn’t to the designer’s normal very high standards. Missions 3,4, and 5 just seemed to combine together and I found after a while I was wondering if I was re-flying a mission that I’d just completed. The only saving grace of this battle was the rather good storyline.

The battle starts rather slowly at the beginning, then missions 2 onwards turn this battle into becoming a real XWA classic, a must fly for any budding XWA pilot.

Easy/medium flying skills required when completing this set of missions, although mission 4 did be come a little frustrating. Nothing really special here, just a nice quick 4 FCHG points.

This battle should carry a health warning - Playablity in this battle is a 'banned' word.

Why do people keep producing battles like this ? Standard type 'doom' style missions. with added extra sight-seeeing

Good points - 5 FCHG points Bad Points - Everything else 'Worth' Flying - Only if someone holds a gun to your head

Badly designed and can be really frustrating at times. Flight groups to often seem to have conflicting orders – Good points – none Worth flying - not really,

Total waste of time. Wasted good two hours trying to complete mission 6 - mission critical flight-groups just didn't arrive - each time it was different flight group - I do wish mission designers would double check any arrival conditions. Missions 1 -5 weren't too bad, although flying around in T/F against Gun's with Adv missiles isn't my idea of fun.

Technically the missions were sound; the only disappointing part is that every single Rebel craft from Tug to Calamari Cruiser seemed to be armed with advance concussion missiles. I’d like the battle, although the over use of Adv Con missiles was rather annoying at times.

To design and build battles of this quality, you wouldn’t need 10,000 chimpanzees working on 10,000 computers; all you’ll need is just one.

I wasn't to sure about some of the Flight group orders, a few times friendly units just seem to hyper-out in the middle of a mission, although overhaul the battle is good and worth flying.

The missions seemed to have been just thrown together without much attention paid to the finer details.

The storyline was great, although the missions were ok; they were in some cases made abnormally hard due to poor flightgroup orders and lack of friendly firepower. Few times during the battle, all my wingmen were killed off attacking M/FRG with Concussion missiles. But all said and done this is a very good battle that’s worth flying – XWA version would have been brilliant!

Only people who have previously undergone a Frontal Lobotomy will find this battle, and use that title very loosely, the least bit entertaining.

As FCHG battles go this isn't one of the best! -P 70% of missions give you the have choice between TI/TF with no missiles or single flight of TB trying destroy at least 4 capitol ships, and then there’s mission 8! The Friendly Capitol ships could have been put to better use, especially against targets like the Repair-yard. Sorry good story, great idea, just let down by Doom style mission design. Although if you enjoy Doom type games and spending what seems hours holding the fire-trigger as blast away at the same target and not wishing that you had had missiles or at least another flight of friendly TB then this battle is for you.
