Hmm, something about this seems familiar, somehow. Can't quite put my finger on it...something about the combination of Mark Hamill and flying a fighter down a trench...no, it's not coming. Anybody?

(this is probably somewhat closer to a Sorthak than it is entirely sensible to get, but hey, I survived and it didn't, so...)

Kills this mission: 23, again, best estimate based on the video since I no longer have access to the kill board (it would actually be pretty disturbing if Blair chalked up a kill board in the refuelling depot just so he could add the ships he got on this mission to it). Again, it's a conservative estimate, given wingmen kills that could have been either of us.

This is the with-wingmen run video, I will be posting a solo run but it'll come in a separate update because I thought I'd get this one out there first. That update will probably also have Vagabond's funeral in it, since he was the first wingman pick and the first wingman always dies in this mission, and I think that's also the only funeral I haven't posted yet.

Ship of the day:
Two missions to go!

Total kills (Wing Commander III): 34 missions / 402 kills
Total kills (this thread): 60 missions / 768 kills
Total kills (including previous thread): 168 missions / 1675 kills

Next time on Let's Play Wing Commander:
Solo run! After that, this place is da (Temblor) bomb.
