Reviews for BoP-TC 12

| | I had a some issues with this battle. First, there's the length. 14 missions is too long, and things that might have been minor annoyances slowly balloon into major frustrations. There's a lot of dead time. The first mission, as already mentioned, is just the first mission of TIE Fighter - it's a cute idea, but the battle is such a slog it's hard to justify adding another mission, especially when everyone flying this has already done it. Mike's briefings are uniformly terrible and all of the text is filled with errors - I can cut the author some slack on that, but the TAC should have taken care of that during testing. Ship choice, both for you and your enemies, is frequently baffling - Imperials fly X-Wings, you do interception duty in a gunboat, and in one mission the NR sends out TIEs.
I think many of the missions are just repackaged Tiss & Mike missions from elsewhere in the database. I'd stick to the Free missions if I were you.
I'm tempted to give it a 0 just to help cancel out the perfect ratings given by the author's brother, girlfriend, subordinates, and the man himself, but that's probably overkill. |

| | Great battle Mike! A nice snapshot of history, plus it kept me on my toes...the next to last one was a great workout! :P

| | I liked the battle...but to me it deserves a 3, one mission is ripped off of TIE Fighter, sorry to say it, but its in the actual TIE storyline, so to me it isn't completely authentic. And to add to that, some of the missions are taken from some of Mike's older free missions. Sure they were modified and made to Mike's way. But I believe that this battle isn't completely from the creators imagination, therefore to me deserves less then 4 and 5s. Otherwise, I liked the rest.

| | Wasn't to bad, some of craft orders could do with a re-think. But it was fun, and that's what counts.

|
| | Thanks for the tip of changing tactics, Mike. I think specifically about mission 13, to inspect the crafts - so the support-group can pick up the Admiral.

|
| | Yes. I have completed this battle and every single mission was great. Very nice story telling about Mike's career. Excellent creation and great storyline. Though last two missions were very tough.

|
| | Great battle. A few minor things should be changed but they can be ignored. I wish I could give this battle a rating of 4.7 but I can't go near giving it a 4 so it is a 5.

|
| | A solid battle from start to end, except for the last mission, I think some of the wingmen A.I.s and objectives aren't set. However, I would highly recommend playing this one.

|
| | Something for everyone, good fighting, but the last mission is a doozy... really hard.

|
| | I tested this battle, and I have to say that,it's one of best battles I have ever flown. In every sencond in every mission you must think what to do to don't screw it up. I completed it on medium level, however I was trying on hard and I must admitt that it's real kicking ass battle on hard level. Whole plotline is just great. Worth to fly.

| | This is probably my best battle for now. I spent many weeks working on it, and I hope this will be great and people will love it. But some info. When you are flying on easy it will be really easy so don't be suprised. Medium level is for every experienced player. Hard level is Hell-on-Earth. Many, well armed enemy fighters, sometimes completly different ships. So if you want to try hard, be prepared. However it's a hell of work, and I hope everyone will like it. But if there is something I can improve here, don't hesitate to mail me.
