12/18/10
Overall
1)	I played Wesnoth 1.9.3 Son of the Black-Eye Campaign on “Nightmare” Difficulty.
2)	I found the difficulty to be a 10 on a scale of 1-10.
3)	I found the scenario objective to be a 7 on a scale of 1-10. 
4)	I found the dialogue to be an 8 on clarity and interest on a scale of 1-10.
5)	The major challenge was to compose a force in time to defeat the enemy and not being defeated myself.
6)	I found the scenarios to be a 9 on “Fun”, graded of a scale of 1-10.
7)	First I found the game to be repetitive in the same kind of battles; it’s always destroying the enemy.  Now nothing is wrong with this but I do suggest putting in some other kind of objective to mix it up a bit.  I did however really like the final epic battle.  Second, found the game to be ridiculously challenging I am even surprised I finished it in the time frame I had, this may discourage players to stop playing.  
8)	There was no event thought out the campaign that forced me to reload any scenario.
9)	The dialogue on this campaign is well written and contains a great plot, but since the campaign run so long I forgot some of the plot lines because of all that was happening in the game.  I would suggest an application that contains all the dialogue so a player can go back, reread, and have a better understanding of the game.
