Let’s Play Wing Commander – Gimle Mission #3 – Deathstroke

  • by
Wing Commander 1 Raptor

We were supposed to be getting out of Gimle pretty soon, but there was one small problem: Ops had detected a number of inbound Kilrathi fighters. They weren’t going to let us leave without a fight.


The Rapiers were with another team today, and we were back in our Raptors. All we had to do was run out to Nav Point 1 and see what was there.

Dralthi. Two full flights of them. Dakhath Deathstroke was leading the second flight, but we’d have to get through the first group to even worry about that.

Angel broke right, I pulled left and we both went to ‘burners. Outnumbered four to one, our only chance was to be aggressive from the start. 


Under full guns, the lead Dralthi practically vaporized and then we were fully committed to the merge. I picked a target, engaged, and as soon as that one blew up, I went after another one. I don’t recall which one was Dakhath, but I sure wasn’t going to let that furry bastard shoot any more ejected pilots.

I had to check my watch when it was over. We’d blasted all eight of them in less than five minutes.

Mission Notes: A win in Gimle moves players on to the Dakota system to fly Raptors with Knight. A loss takes you to Brimstone to fly Scimitars with Maniac!
