This battle is based upon the story laid out in the book X-Wing: The Bacta War by Michael A Stackpole. The events of the book have necessarily changed due to the Emperor’s Hammer's involvement during the previous three books, see XWA-TC 70, XWA-TC 71, and XWA-TC 72.
It's a phenomenal conclusion (for now...) to a series that has just been an absolute delight, from start to finish. Suitably epic, with perhaps just a bit more difficulty here than the previous entries (appropriate for a finale), I think this battle is tremendous highlight of what X-Wing Alliance can be at its best.
If you're not using the WAV files though, you're really missing out! There's a moment in Mission #3 that may be one of my all-time favorites of any mission in the compendium, and I don't know that it would hit as hard without the audio accompaniment
At first I wasn't going to post reviews of my own battles, but as Frodo would have said PAR!
I think this is a great battle and well balanced on Easy and Medium, with it being a tad on the hard side on Hard. The intent of the battle is for you to use the reinforcements when they are available, but to each their own. I think it was a good ending to the saga.
Stay tuned for the next major campaign ;-)
This is an incredibly impressive end to the saga and the missions themselves are extremely well designed with unique tricks that make them
simply outstanding. Mission 1 for example is something I have never seen before. You wont be disappointed.

Mission 2: Krayt Dragon misspelled as Kryat Dragon. Message about returning to base plays before the last primary objective of destroying the CRL Valiant is accomplished.
