I just played this one yesterday, at our regular Saturday game. I have to admit to being very disappointed at the faction mission brief for Silver Crusade. The success conditions are VERY specific; and the note passed very vague. Since we never captured Ekkie, no amount of kindness or mercy shownto the down-trodden (which was all the note asked for) was sufficient to meet the conditions of success. If we're going to have such very specific conditions, perhaps a bit more focused mission brief might be in order? Alternatively, if the brief is vague, allow some leeway in the award conditions.
Other than the one quibble, it was a great run. :) One death, lots of uses of the healing wand, and a great many close calls!
