This evening the circle is now complete, and this campaign is over. Let's look at the scores and see what the final results have given us. With 50 points up for grabs tonight it was all to play for, and though low numbers turned up, it was still enough for us to go with the multiplayer version of the map rather than the co-op, and those lower numbers worked against the Empire in some respects, with Rebel fighters able to pull Imperial pilots out of their defensive positions when they are already spread thin trying to defend all the map's assets, though the low numbers also meant it was fairly easy for the Imperial pilots and turbolaser gunners to spot and pick off the Rebels as they attacked, so there was balance, but the low numbers additionally gave the Rebels more time to fulfill their mission, so after a pitched battle the towers were eventually neutralized and the battle over the trench began, which is where things really got serious with intense dogfighting occurring both in and above the trench. In the end the fatal blow to the Death Star came with around 60 tickets remaining from the pool of 300 that the Rebels started out with. So a hard fought battle finally came to a close with a victory for the Alliance.
With the final round the losers gain no points, so the Imperials gained nothing this week with the Rebels getting 50 points. They had two non-registered players resulting in a deduction of 1 point. So the final scores for the campaign are as follows:
Imperials - 173.5
Rebels - 177.5
Which goes to show that the current general trend in industry to hire contractors in rather than having a full roster of full-time employees is a sound one, as the Rebels who fought in this campaign were largely freelancers and mercenaries.
Anyhow congratulations to the Rebels once again.
With that pesky battle station scuppering the Empire yet again. The Emperor would like to get in contact with the Death Star's lead designers, and the chief contractors who worked on the construction of the Empire's pride and joy for a quiet chat.
Closed Alpha Test & Deth..
