General Strategic Checklist

1. Don't let Black Hole beat you with HQ capture.
   Although it might seem unlikely, watch out for HQ capture. If you're a new gamer, remember that if your HQ is captured, you will lose.
2. Advance twice as fast with loaded APC.
   APCs travel twice as fast as any infantry, so you should load an infantry in to move units east faster.
3. Use forest defensive advantage.
   Woods squares (or forest) have more defensive stars and cover than regular roads or even plains. Use them to your advantage when attacking or defending.
4. Attack in numbers.
   You usually can't kill a unit in a single turn unless it's a lot more powerful. In this case, it's an infantry clash so you should attack from two or even three sides against one infantry.

Black Hole Strats: Flak is not very smart...yet, so he will rush his infantry at you. You should be able to take out both one by one.

To S-Rank: Make sure you attack first by staying out of infantry range, and hurry on with speed and don't take more than 5 days.

General Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• General Strategy Day 1: Move everything east.
• Andy Day 1: Here, you'll have to learn to move units, capture the HQ, and kill infantry, and also how to use an APC. Move every infantry 3E. Move APC 3SE. End turn. Nell talks on and on, don't you think? Nell is too overly excited...
• Flak Day 1: He moves his infantry down to meet yours.
• General Strategy Day 2: Move everything east.
• Andy Day 2: Nell rambles on about how infantry attack. Move all three infantry 3E. Move APC 6E and end turn.
• Flak Day 2: Flak moves his two infantry down.
• General Strategy Day 3: Take out one BH infantry.
• Andy Day 3: OK, now you can surround that front infantry with all three infantry, but do this, so move everything 3E and kill the infantry.
• Flak Day 3: Flak is pathetically screwed. He moves his infantry 2W to attack your 8HP infantry and deal 6.
• General Strategy Day 4: Destroy the last BH infantry.
• Andy Day 4: Flank and kill the final BH infantry to win!

End

Andy has taken back a part of Orange Star captured by Black Hole!

Mission Briefing: Flak now has tanks against you. You have one of five units. You can take them! Flak talks about how to capture cities. Nell talks about defensive cover.

Mission Terms: Sami is told by Nell to plan an operation against Flak in Orange Star. He now has tanks, so you'll want to take them out and set up a defensive position at the bridge.

OS: 1 Infantry, 1 Mech, 1 APC, 1 Artillery, 1 Tank
BH: 2 Infantry, 1 APC, 3 Tanks

Re-Boot Camp Strategy Video: https://youtu.be/ivUpLRmOFyg

General Strategic Checklist

1. Destroy anything that directly threatens you.
   The first tank should be weakened by the mech first time, else you want to get some damage. At the bridge, you'll want to use both artillery and tank, and perhaps your mech, to defend.
2. Use allied cities as defensive cover and to heal.
   Allied cities, when you station units on them, gain +2HP each turn, as they heal. You might even want to take the neutral city for another healing place.
3. Hold the bridge!
   If you can't hold the bridge, you'll be flanked. You must hold it with a tank on the allied city.

Black Hole Strats: Flak, as he is the enemy AI, will not look for a nice defensive position, but rather, tries to advance. If you can even hold the bridge, you win.

To S-Rank: Hold your position at the bridge, and use tank and artillery to weaken forces on the bridge. Do not lose a single unit.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• General Strategy Day 1: Take out the tank and move east.
• Sami Day 1: Click the mech and move it 2N to attack the tank, dealing it 7 and taking 1. Move your tank 2NE to finish it. Move your artillery 3E 2N. Move your infantry 3E and begin capturing the city. Sami's infantry are stronger than anyone else's, so she can capture faster. Nell rambles on again. Move your APC 3E 4N. As you see, APCs seem to have gained another square now...
• Flak Day 1: He moves in to start capturing your city, and moves in his tank and other infantry units.
• General Strategy Day 2: Set up a defensive formation with your tank in front and an artillery in the back, with mech support.
• Sami Day 2: Sami and Nell talk about how to heal units in friendly cities. Finish capturing the city, and the crowd goes into uproar. Move your tank 2E and your mech 1NE. Move your artillery 1E to keep a defensive formation at the bridge.
• Flak Day 2: BH forces take one of your cities, and his tanks, APC, and infantry come rolling west.
• General Strategy Day 3: Deal damage to the front tank.
• Sami Day 3: Ok, here's where you use your artillery, don't move it but still click it, and click Fire to take 6 damage on that tank. Move your APC 1S and move your mech 1E.
• Flak Day 3: His tanks and infantry move in, but they can't attack as you're in too strong a defensive position.
• General Strategy Day 4: Take out two tanks with your artillery and tank.
• Sami Day 4: Fire away! Kill the tank with your tank, attack the other tank with your artillery, and finish it by moving your mech 2E. Move your infantry into the APC and move it 1N 3E. Drop south and end.
• Flak Day 4: He's screwed. He attacks your infantry on the river which takes 5 damage. The other infantry attacks your mech.
• General Strategy Day 5-7: Take out infantry and last APC.
• Sami Day 5: Use your artillery to kill the infantry in the east. Move your tank 2E 1N to finish the other one. Move the rest towards last APC.
• Flak Day 5: Do nothing.
• Sami Day 6: Attack the APC with your tank and infantry.
• Flak Day 6: Do nothing.
• Sami Day 7: Finish off the APC with your artillery. Good job!

End

Sami has the exact opposite attitude for Flak as for Eagle in AW here. But you won, so who cares? :)

Re-Boot Camp Strategy Video: https://youtu.be/yT25trNI72M

General Strategic Checklist

1. Seize the small four-square island.
   The island gives you a lot of manuevering room, plus bridge, forest, and city defensive advantage.
2. Transport Copter should be used for HQ capture if you don't manage to kill all units or see HQ wide open.
   On this mission, later on, Flak will leave his HQ wide open. Therefore, it'd be useful to go for it.
3. Take out the battle copter!
   Taking out the battle copter will give you total aerial control.
4. Block bridges!
   Don't let Flak's units swarm you! Guard the bridges!
5. Have your medium tank in front.
   Your medium tank can withstand more damage than any other of your tanks, so use that.

Black Hole Strats: Flak will move his blundering forces east to meet you. Kill him.

To S-Rank: Take out his battle copter quick and don't lose any units, and use your battle copters to weaken his units.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• General Strategy Day 1: Move all units north, taking out the battle copter.
• Max Day 1: You've got medium tanks, battle copters, and transport copters now. Max is strong with direct units but weak with indirect, so your artillery can be a bit useless here. You have the upper hand here. Click the SW battle copter and attack the enemy battle copter to the south to deal MAJOR damage. Use your other battle copter to finish it off. Click your artillery and move it 3N 1E. Move your medium tanks 1E 2N. Move your two small tanks to the west and south one square of the medium tank, next to it. Move your infantry into the transport copter and move it 2E 4N onto the sea.
• Flak Day 1: Flak says Max reminds him of himself. He moves all his units east.
• General Strategy Day 2: Injure a medium tank with your battle copters, and move your land forces past the bridge.
• Max Day 2: Nell talks about how to heal battle copters and how to join units, and when to do so. Move in your battle copters to target the eastern medium tank and take off 5HP. Move your medium tank 4N. Move your other small tanks to the south and SE 1 square of it. Move your artillery to the south of that, and end.
• Flak Day 2: BH forces move east except for the damaged medium tank.
• General Strategy Day 3: Take out a medium tank and a tank.
• Max Day 3: Attack with your medium tank the tank left of it and kill it in one move. Move in your left small tank to attack his. Finish off the 5HP medium tank with your two battle copters, move your small tank and artillery 1N, and end turn.
• Flak Day 3: He moves his medium tank east.
• General Strategy Day 4-5: Destroy the last medium tank to effectively cripple Flak, and then finish the last small tank and infantry.
• Max Day 4: With your small tank, finish off the tank next to you, and attack the infantry with your medium tank. Move both battle copters 3E to deal 6 damage on the medium tank. Move your transport copter all the way west. Move in your small tank to attack the infantry, and move your artillery 1N.
• Flak Day 4: His medium tank attacks your small tank. You deal 2 damage like he does.

Max Andy 5: Finish off his last two units any way you like.

End

Max and Flak continue to bicker at each other. Nell talks about how to use the points you get in Campaign Mode into buying maps from Battle Maps with Hachi. Nell talks about Speed, Power, and Technique as well. Max yells that Flak is a dumb name.

OK, from here, you get to choose which part of OS you want to recover. You have three here, all rated **. Move in west (southernmost battlefield).

Mission Briefing: With bombers and fighters on his side, Flak has a big air force at you. Remember though, you have some anti-aircraft gunners and missiles to down them, and power isn't everything...

Mission Terms: The Orange Star and Black Hole war sets up into the skies above, as Max and Flak's aerial forces clash. Flak arms up his air force with stronger attackers, while Max gets stronger defenses. Make sure that you can repel it and grab the lab map from the neutral city on your island by capturing it.

Re-Boot Camp Strategy Video: https://youtu.be/OESgd38fSCs

General Strategic Checklist

1. Protect your missile Day 1 with surrounded A-Air.
   Your missile has some range that your A-Air will never get in taking own planes. Make sure you keep it safe, then move out on Day 2.
2. Check aerial force range.
   Remember, if you're out of Flak's range he can't attack you...
3. Grab the lab map!
   The lab map is located on your island's neutral city. Capture it with an infantry or mech and enter the hidden mission of Orange Star!
4. Take out anything in your path, but aim for bombers first.
   Bombers deal the greatest damage of all of his units, and he has two. Weaken those first, then move on to battle copters, and then, fighters.

Black Hole Strats: Flak will move all his air units south on Day 1 and attack. Make sure you are ready, and counter it with your 4 A-Air and one missile.

To S-Rank: Go defense Day 1, then counterstrike on Day 2 and give yourself a pronounced advantage.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• General Strategy Day 1: Take out the battle copter and injure a 2nd one, making sure the A-Air protect the missile and that your other planes are out of range.
• Max Day 1: Down the battle copter with your missile. After this, Sami will note the new CO Power star chart, instead of a bar for CO powers. Your battle copter in the sea is doomed. Move it 1W and attack the battle copter to do damage. Move mech 2N to capture city. Move rocket and infantry all the way up.
• Flak Day 1: Flak explains how to use stronger aerial units like the fighter and bomber. His fighter takes out your battle copter. His bomber comes in to bomb your anti-air. His other battle copter finishes it. He moves the rest towards you.
• General Strategy Day 2: Injure his air force with your four A-Air and one missile.
• Max Day 2: Finish capturing the city with your mech as defense against the tank later on, which turns out to be a Black Hole lab that researches new weapons like...*shhh*. Yeah. Move your southern A-Air to take 9 damage off of the bomber and get your CO power ready. You could do that and get the CO Power Max Force or save up for the Super CO Power Max Blast. Save up for now. Take out the battle copter with an A-Air, and down the other bomber. With your missile, down his battle copter.
• Flak Day 2: His air force is half down in one day! Flak uses Super Power, Super CO Power Barbaric Blow! His fighter moves towards your battle copter, his bomber does nothing to your missile, and his weakened battle copter does ONE damage to your rocket. Apparently, you took out so much his Super CO Power is useless. His tank moves in to deal 3 damage to your mech, which you deal back. His infantry moves forward.
• General Strategy Day 3-4: Use Max Blast and destroy all remaining units with your now superior numbers.
• Max Day 3: Max now has his Super Power. Go to the main menu and go down to a 3-star icon called Super. Use Max Blast! Move his A-Airs east and destroy the bomber, the fighter, AND the battle copter. If you must, use your missile to finish the fighter. Destroy the tank with your battle copter. Move everything else north.
• Flak Day 3: Do nothing.
• Max Day 4: Finish off the last infantry with your battle copter and infantry.

End

Flak still points to the upcoming Black Hole invasion as moral support, and says Sami is Max's girlfriend. Max and Sami argue that Black Hole has no respect. With your victory, a new mission opens up for you on the island far off. It is a *** mission, so don't go just yet. Instead, move to the mission farthest south and west. This one deals with sea units as well.

Mission Briefing: Lash has appeared! She taunts Nell, who tells Sami to bring her prisoner alive.

Mission Terms: This is your first timed mission, and you must eliminate Lash's forces through HQ capture or by elimination. Though you may not have Victory March quickly, you should care to advance from both the western and eastern fronts, advancing most forces at the base but keeping an eye towards the HQ.

Re-Boot Camp Strategy Video: https://youtu.be/al9Ct5r5o_I

General Strategic Checklist

1. Don't let BH beat you with base-built units.
   The bulk of your land forces should take care to eliminate anything Lash builds from this base.
2. Don't lose your transport copter. You can send it into your cruiser for safety.
   The transport copter is required to be saved, and it might even be useful if you use it right...
3. Win the naval war.
   You can seize naval advantage early by destroying the sub, cruiser, and even the rocket in the first few days to give your lander a bit of room to land later.
4. Land forces on the eastern shore to march towards the HQ.
   You can win by HQ capture. Sami has Victory March, and you might even activate it. You'll need to win the naval war before you can do this, though...

Black Hole Strats: Lash will focus early attacks on your transports unless you keep them out of range, so their forces will go and seize power near the base.

To S-Rank: Take out their navy first, then advance on both fronts with superior numbers. Lash just can't deploy fast enough...

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• General Strategy Day 1: Take out Lash's entire useful naval force but her cruiser. Move remaining units north. Save your T-Copter.
• Sami Day 1: Nell notes that a deployment base is near Lash. Nell notes Sami's infantry and transport power as well. You spot that you have a lander here, and a transport copter in trouble. Click the battleship and Nell gives you a short brief. Fire on the rocket to the north and deal it 8 damage. Click your cruiser to get a short brief, then attack Lash's sub. Move your sub 4N 1W and dive after that brief. Move the bottom tank and an APC with a mech into the lander. Click the lander to get a description, then move the lander 5E 2N. Move your other mechs 2N, your tank 5W 1N. Click your rocket and move it 1E 3N. Move your artillery 1W 4N. Remember that you now only have 7 days left to beat this mission. Move your transport copter into your cruiser. End.
• Lash Day 1: Lash tells Sami that Flak will be coming on Day 7 to kill Sami's forces. This is the reason why you must win quickly. Lash moves in infantry to capture a base and a city. His A-Air move eastward.
• General Strategy Day 2: Move everything north.
• Sami Day 2: Nell talks about how sea units sink if they don't have enough fuel. Move your battleship 5N. Move your cruiser 4E...don't drop the transport copter! Move your sub 1NW to finish off hers. Move your lander 1E 3N. Move both mechs 1NW. Move your tank 4N 1W. Move the artillery 2W 3N. Move the rocket 2NW. End turn.
• Lash Day 2: She finishes capturing the base and city, and deals 1 damage to your battleship with the rocket. Her A-Air comes west.
• General Strategy Day 3: Land on the eastern shore and advance north.
• Sami Day 3: Take out the rocket with your battleship, then move your lander 2N 1W. Drop your APC west, and drop your tank north. Rise your sub. In the west, attack the infantry with your tank from the south, move the northern mech 2N, the southern one 2W, and the artillery AND rocket 2N. End turn.
• Lash Day 3: She uses her CO Power Terrain Tactics. Her A-Air comes in to attack your artillery. She takes a city in the east and builds an infantry.

General Strategy Phase 4: Advance north on both fronts, using your battleship to help take out the infantry in the east, and your artillery and rocket in the west.

• Sami Day 4: Use your rocket to attack the western A-Air, move your artillery 4S, and bring up your mech to take it out. In the east, attack the cruiser with your battleship and finish it with your sub. Drop the transport copter from your cruiser north. Move your tank north to attack the infantry from the north, then move up your APC 1E 4N and drop the mech north. In the west, move your mech 2N and attack the infantry with your tank from where you are.
• Lash Day 4: She finishes capturing a city and kills your mech with her A-Air. One infantry moves west, one east to HQ.
• General Strategy Day 5-7: Sweep entire BH forces in east and west. West with more firepower, east because there's no BH base there.
• Sami Day 5: Use your battleship to attack the infantry blocking the way to the HQ and finish it with your tank. Move your mech back into the APC, and move it onto the HQ, dropping the mech north. In the west, attack the A-Air with your rocket, and use your tank and mech to finish off the infantry. Move your artillery 1N. Move your T-Copter towards HQ. End.
• Lash Day 5: Continuing to take cities, the enemy takes another one and attacks the APC with her infantry, dealing none.
• Sami Day 6: You only have 2 days left, or as Nell says, tomorrow! In the west, take out the Anti-Air with your artillery, and with your rocket and mech, take out the infantry north of you. Attack the infantry with your tank. With your battleship, attack the infantry near you. Take out the infantry next to the HQ by using your tank, and move your APC 5W to block the infantry from going east. Move your mech to start capturing the HQ.
• Lash Day 6: The infantry attacks your APC, so she can't build! The other one continues to take a city.
• Sami Day 7: You can actually go for elimination now! Take out the infantry with your battleship. Attack the infantry on the deployment base with your rocket, and finish him with your tank.

End

Sami drags a dummy of Lash over. Lash apparently escapes. You won! With your victory, Orange Star has only two more provinces for you to take back. Select the mission to the southeast (not on the island).

Mission Briefing: Lash tells Flak about her new invention, the Black Cannon. Hawke urges Flak to complete his conquest of Orange Star, but he seems be reeling backwards, eh? Commander Andy and Nell notices the giant cannon, and Max argues Andy can't take it, he can with his strength. Andy still is confident, however, and will do it himself.

Mission Terms: Andy's Time introduces you to Lash's new invention, the Black Cannon, which deals five damage to the strongest unit with the most HP in its range, which covers some 82 squares and has 99HP. Ignore it if you can until you attack it.

Re-Boot Camp Strategy Video: https://youtu.be/XkNc2L7kMDA

General Strategic Checklist

1. Stay out of Black Cannon range until you attack it, and when you do, attack from range.
   Although the Black Cannon on this first mission will only attack every few turns, it's to your best interests to stay out of the way, as you can capture the middle base out of Black Cannon range, as well as send rockets to smash it from afar.
2. Capture the middle and northwest factories.
   Flak is slow and won't reach either base in time if you use your transport copter. It's also a nice way to flank him.
3. Occupy Flak's factory within several days.
   With your superior property advantage, you should be able to seize control of it so Flak doesn't go slapping you when you attack Lash's Black Cannon.

Black Hole Strats: Flak doesn't get much, so he'll build infantry and small vehicles to attempt to match your superior forces. Chances are he won't last...

To S-Rank: Take both neutral factories over ASAP, and also neutralize Flak's deployment base. Smash BH's small force quickly.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• General Strategy Day 1: Move toward central island.
• Andy Day 1: You notice you only have 1 infantry and 1 transport copter, but you do get deployment bases to deploy new units. Nell talks on about how to make units. Look around on the map. BH has a base north of you, east of the cannon. The cannon has 99HP and can destroy practically everything; it takes out 5HP from any unit it attacks. Watch out with that. It takes as much damage as a Md Tank, so attacking it with a Md Tank will mean 55% damage, that will take out 55HP from it (so it's not that difficult to eliminate!). There are three bases to the west of both of you. Move the infantry into the transport copter and move it all the way west. Deploy two infantry.
• Flak Day 1: The cannon will fire starting Day 2, and Lash tells Flak to advance south.
• General Strategy Day 2: Land on central island to grab that base, and move infantry north.
• Andy Day 2: Check out the cannnon's range, which seems to cover a massive range of about 82 squares! The best you can do right now is avoid being fired upon. Move your T-Copter all the way up and drop to the south onto the base. Move your western infantry to capture the city, and move the other one 3N. Build an infantry in the left base and tank in the right base.
• Flak Day 2: An infantry moves SE to take a city. He builds another one.
• General Strategy Day 3: Move units north and take middle base.
• Andy Day 3: Nell informs you to attack the Black Cannon door. By the looks of it, it's best if you attack with an indirect unit or you'll get blasted. Start capturing base on middle island. Finish capturing other city. Move left infantry 3N, right infantry 2N 1W. Move tank 6N. Make another infantry and another tank. Move T-Copter 2S 4E.
• Flak Day 3: He finishes capturing a city, moves infantry, and makes yet another one. Poor guy with no money :)
• General Strategy Day 4: Take central island, strike BH units from the south.
• Andy Day 4: Finish capturing the base on the central island. Move your northernmost infantry 3N to start capturing the city. Move up your tank 5N 1W to attack the infantry on the city. Move your infantry from 3S of the transport copter and move it 3N into the copter, and move it 3NW. Move your two infantry 3N and tank 6N. Build an APC on the left base and an infantry on the right base.
• Flak Day 4: He begins capturing a neutral city, backed by two other infantry. He makes a mech.
• General Strategy Day 5: Seize control of the left base to surround the remaining BH forces.
• Andy Day 5: Move your transport copter 1W 5N and drop the infantry to the left. Move your northern tank 3W to kill the infantry. Move your other tank 6N. Finish capturing the neutral city on the right side with your infantry. Move the infantry on the central island 3N. Move your left infantry (that is left) 3N and the one east of it 2N 1W. Move your infantry on the right base 2W into the APC. Move the APC 1E 5N, and drop your infantry north. Build nothing.
• Flak Day 5: BH units capture ONE city, and another infantry unit is built.
• General Strategy Day 6: Close in on the last base and build a rocket.
• Andy Day 6: OK, you've at a clear advantage now. Move your infantry west of the T-Copter 2W to begin capturing the base. Move your left tank 1N to attack the infantry on the city, and move your infantry on the middle island 2N to finish that one off. Move your other tank 3W 2N to deal damage to the mech to the left. Build a rocket on the middle island base. Move all infantry except the one just above the APC 3N. Move that last infantry into the APC 5N and drop east. End turn.
• Flak Day 6: BH infantry moves 3S to attack your infantry. Another one moves onto a city and attacks another one. A mech moves west and fails to kill your T-Copter.

• General Strategy Day 8: Effectively take the surrounded BH base and build a rocket.
• Andy Day 8: Move your rocket 2N 1W. Move your artillery 4N. Your tank west of that enemy infantry should attack it and bring it to 2HP. Move your T-Copter 6W. Move your full health infantry 2W 1N and finish that infantry off. Move your 9HP infantry 2N and capture that enemy base. From your northwest base, move that infantry 1W 2S and build a rocket from there. Move your APC 6W, your 4HP infantry 2N 1W, your other 9HP tank 5W, your 5HP infantry 3W, and your full health infantry 1S to capture the BH city.
• Flak Day 8: He has no base or units. Do nothing.
• General Strategy Day 9: With your two rockets, destroy the 99HP cannon.
• Andy Day 9: With your rocket on the base, attack the cannon down to 44HP. Finish it off with your other rocket. You win!

End

Andy and Flak have a clash of words and then Andy spots Max's tank force. Maybe it'll be helpful? With most of Orange Star now secure, you have to hop to the last island. Andy will provide you assistance in marching into the mountains to take out that final Black Hole lab.

Mission Briefing: This is the first FOW map, but the last Training-type mission. Andy will come here and wipe out Flak's remaining units and lab. You have 7 days to complete this mission. Run like the wind, Andy!

Mission Terms: Now that you've found Black Hole's lab inside Orange Star, you have one week to penetrate it and seize the plans for the new Black Hole unit, the Neotank. This is your first FOW mission.

General Strategic Checklist

1. Remember Black Hole has a lander, artillery, and rocket that hides in forest on the eastern half of the map.
   They can snipe you if you don't take them out (exception: lander), and they're just plain annoying...
2. Infantry on mountains give you +3 vision.
   Your recon can't do all vision...your infantry and mech can give you extra vision.
3. Move in groups.
   One unit can't take out any unit or army, even your medium tank, as you may be sniped. Move units up together.
4. Capture the secret lab or destroy all units.
   Instead of taking out all units, you may want to capture the secret lab instead, since you have a time limit...but destroying all units can be easier.

Black Hole Strats: Flak has forces in the north that will attack you, but he'll leave his artillery, rocket, and lander hidden from view and snipe you when he has the chance. Find them and kill them. One is in the north, one is next to the HQ.

To S-Rank: Fog of War makes the mission somewhat more difficult, but you should be able to take out the northern forces with ease and move on.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• General Strategy Day 1: Use FOW tactics to uncover the area, then take out an infantry, an APC, and an artillery.
• Andy Day 1: Nell rambles on about FOW tactics, and you find yourself spotting only ONE artillery of BH. Select your infantry and move it 2N onto the mountain. Move your A-Air 1E 5N and take out the infantry to the north. In the east, move your mech 1NE. Move your medium tank 3N 2W to weaken that APC 9 damage. Move your tank 1W 4N and attack the artillery from the east. Kill the artillery with your artillery. Move your recon 3NE. Move your APC 2N. Move your rocket 1E 3N. End.
• Flak Day 1: His recon attacks your infantry on the mountain, and moves his A-Air to the east of your recon to attack it. His APC moves south.
• General Strategy Day 2: Take out remaining unhidden units except a recon.
• Andy Day 2: You are informed by Sami that an indirect unit hides in the forest. Nell also points out the reef that you can hide in FOW in. Move your 6HP infantry 1S to kill the 1HP APC. Move your A-Air 1S to attack the recon. Move your recon 2W 1N and move your medium tank 3E 2S to destroy the A-Air. Move your artillery 3E 2N. Move your tank 1S 4E with 5 damage. Finish off that infantry with your rocket. Move your mech into the APC and move your APC 1W of the HQ, and drop your mech on the HQ.
• Flak Day 2: Your mech will be attacked by a rocket.
• General Strategy Day 3-4: Uncover hidden units, then kill them.
• Andy Day 3: Move your mech 2E to reveal the rocket. Move your tank 1S 3E to deal 6 damage to the rocket. Move your A-Air 3S to finish off that recon. Move the damaged infantry 1E 2N. Move your recon 1E 5N into the forest. Move your APC 6N. Move your medium tank 2E 3N. Destroy the lander with your artillery and rockets.
• Flak Day 3: He can't do anything.
• Andy Day 4: Finish off the rocket with your damaged mech. If it isn't finished, use your tank. Move your mech 2E. Move your medium tank 1E 2N and recon 3E to destroy the last artillery to win!

Mission Briefing: Flak is surprised by the sight of Adder, who was supposed to invade Yellow Comet. With his wordplay, he angers Flak. Here is a factory and base that is the center of the BH war on OS. If you can take this out, victory on BH will be a reality, at least in OS, for now. You have the base advantage here.

Mission Terms: Entering the final mission of the Orange Star Campaign, you hold a disadvantage due to Black Hole's factory, which is given units through a pipeline. You'll want to seize the neutral airport early and smash the pipeline seam.

Re-Boot Camp Strategy Video: https://youtu.be/yYcWzj87trE

General Strategic Checklist

1. Destroy the pipeline seam for a quicker and easier victory.
   See the weak spot, the pipeline seam, in the pipeline? That's where you should hit it to break the pipeline connection and stop the factory from building more, as well as win the mission.
2. Take the neutral airport away from BH hands.
   The lone airport is vital if you want to take out the seem fast. Capture the base below it, too, if you don't plan on taking Flak down within first 10 days.
3. Take lone eastern cities if you have the time.
   The eastern cities will supply that extra 2000 a day you could use.
4. Block factory from producing units.
   The BH factory can be blocked from cranking any more units out, by blocking the three doors.
5. Produce an APC and infantry early.
   Use both units to speed to the airport/base.
6. Seize the west as a diversion.
   This won't really help speed or technique, but if this mission is a bit rough, marching units west and taking that SW neutral base will be useful.

Black Hole Strats: Flak's forces have stepped up a notch, and now uses more indirect units to throw mushrooms on your head. Block the bridges with anything you can, and you'll want to seize the skies even with A-Air and missiles threatening you.

To S-Rank: You'll want to rush and crush the pipeline seam while keeping some strong attacks on units at and near the factory for power.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

Re-Boot Camp Strategy Video (w/ capturing lab map): https://youtu.be/5hzZWQcgIXk

General Strategic Checklist

1. Guard the mountain passes.
   If you guard the mountain passes, then Lash is unable to get past. This includes the northwest neutral city with that river pass.
2. The secret lab map must be taken.
   The secret lab map is found on that small SW island area, the neutral city there in the southwest and closest to enemy HQ other than the one directly above it. Take it to get the hidden Blue Moon mission.
3. Take the east fast.
   Your side of the map should be taken ASAP so that you have enough cities to solidify your advance towards the neutral middle base.
4. Smash Lash's units with power.
   When you have more money and props than her, and with the neutral base, start building some stronger units like massed tanks.

Black Hole Strats: Lash will be crossing rivers and mountains to sneak up on your unguarded cities. She'll also build mechs, artillery, and tanks.

To S-Rank: Take the middle factory early and win in 20 or less days to seize a S-Rank, or at least in speed. Don't lose too many units.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

You'll want to beat it in just 16 days. Build infantry only from the right two bases to take cities. Combine when necessary, you don't want to lose more than two units for full technique. Advance with tanks, anti-air, and artillery. This is very effective because Lash builds slow, and you can outnumber them. Just remember to take that southwest city on the island-ish area for the lab map to unlock that mission.

Mission Briefing: Grit wakes up to find an angry Olaf asking him to seize a victory over the Black Hole forces in the south because it was his duty to defend the mountains. Grit seems to take it lightly as always but still goes before Olaf can say more. Grit spots the vast number of medium tanks even in Fog of War and decides not to fight them head on. Adder says that he went to offer a proposition to Grit, that they want Grit to join the Black Hole Army. Adder seems to say Grit's feelings about protecting Blue Moon, which wasn't much, but Grit doesn't respond. Grit agrees that Adder is correct, but that Adder has no call to treat the civilians and people in Blue Moon as they pleased. Adder had destroyed whole cities, and Grit finds Adder his #1 enemy.

General Strategy

You have rockets. Grit is awesome with rockets. They fall in a single turn to medium tanks, though.

The mountains are your friend. The mountains will keep your rockets safe from all but mechs, and your recon will be as well. Starting day 2, let your rockets fly some damage onto the medium tanks that advance. When mechs arrive, take them out first, as they can kill your rockets easier. Use your recons as spotters for your rockets and artillery.

Adder's medium tanks are hindered by mountains and are forced to go all the way around to hit anything of yours that they see, so the only thing that will do big damage is mechs and the few medium tanks that may make it to the end.

Missile silos are your friend, too. The missile silos are on your side, so they will be you that fires them as long as the infantry survive going east. Use them to hone down on enemy medium tanks. They have the impact of Sturm's Meteor Strike, except they only do 3 damage. They don't do much damage but they can be useful on medium tanks that really need to be weakened. Aim carefully, they'll even injure your units. No unit will have lower than 1HP, however.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• Grit Day 1: With your left rocket, attack the middle medium tank. Move your rocket on your HQ 2W. Move your top and bottom rockets to the 1E and 2E of those two that are already used. Move both infantry 1E. End.
• Adder Day 1: His 2 recon moves in to attack your 2 infantry. His medium tanks all move east.
• Grit Day 2: Here, you're taught from Olaf that you can use missile silos to hone missiles on Adder's forces. Use the back rocket to take out the northern recon. With your second to back rocket, injure his bottom recon. With the one left of that, attack the middle of the three top medium tanks you see. With your front recon attack to the 4S 1W, the medium tank closest to your southern forces. End.
• Adder Day 2: His second recon attacks your infantry on the top. His bottom one moves up and his 1HP one flees. More medium tanks move up in the south, and your infantry is taken out in the south.
• Grit Day 3: OK, so you're overwhelmed. Don't worry just yet. In the south, use your artillery to take out the medium tank. In the north, attack the medium tank with your artillery. Move your 1HP infantry 2E. Use your CO Power Snipe Attack. Move your middle two recons 4W (the top one 4W 1N). Kill the recon with your HQ rocket, the 5HP medium tank with your next one, going left, weaken the bottom medium tank that you spot with your next one, and with the front one, weaken the full health medium tank in the north. End turn.
• Adder Day 3: Adder uses Super CO Power Superwinder to move units even faster. His mech moves 4 squares to capture your city. His recon and medium tanks move in on both fronts. Your rocket is destroyed by mechs (the front one).
• Grit Day 4: Move your 1HP infantry 1S 2E. With your northern artillery, attack the medium tank furthest right. Continue hitting medium tanks with your rockets, the ones with most HP. With the front rocket though, use it to kill the mech on the road. Move a recon in the middle to leftmost city without attacking, right one back to the eastern forest, but take the NE one. In the south, move artillery 2W.
• Adder Day 4: BH takes one of your cities, northern artillery injured by weakened medium tank, two mechs completely rid your next two rockets ineffective.
• Grit Day 5: Use Snipe Attack. Injure the mech with your southern artillery, take out the front 5HP medium tank with your northern artillery, and weaken the mountain mech with your non-injured rocket. With your 2-HP rockets, take out a recon. With your last recon, take out an infantry as well. Move 1HP infantry 3E. End.
• Adder Day 5: Sideslip. He captures your buildings but this time doesn't attack with those crazy mechs. Your northern artillery is injured.
• Grit Day 6: With northern artillery, weaken a medium tank. Move 1HP infantry 3E and target just east of the artillery and mech, taking down the 3-10-2 HP medium tanks to 1-7-1 HP. With your full HP rocket, attack the mech taking your city. With your other two, take out the 2HP mech and injure the southern recon. In the east, move your lone recon in forest 3S 1W to attack the enemy recon and to protect your last infantry. In the south, move your artillery 1N 4E and your recon 3E 1N. End.
• Adder Day 6: He continues to capture the city and in the east, the recon wars continues. In the north, he combines his 1+7+1 medium tanks to form 9HP and also moves up his 6HP and 5HP medium tank.
• Grit Day 7: Move your full HP rocket 3N. Move your 1HP infantry 2S. Take out the recon with your two recon. Move your front 2HP rocket 2E onto the HQ. Move your other 2HP rocket 2E. Move your middle recon 2NW to finish off the final mech. With your northern artillery, attack the 6HP medium tank. Move southern artillery 1E 2N.
• Adder Day 7: His medium tanks move in and hide in forest except the 9HP one.
• Grit Day 8: With your full health rocket, deal 6 damage to the rocket. Move your 1HP infantry 1S to launch a missile. Center it on the 3HP medium tank. Move everything else to take out the last medium tank!

With Adder's medium tank brigade routed, he retreats! Grit doesn't seem to care what Olaf says, but who cares?

Mission Briefing: Olaf hears about the Black Hole invasion on the northern frontier, the border with Orange Star. Colin volunteers to go, while Grit doesn't seem to care as much, just like in the past war. Grit acknowledges that Colin is now a full-fledged CO, and Olaf lets him. Grit gives him a little advice. Lash is informed that Colin leads the Blue Moon army, though she wanted "the bearded geezer, or at least the scarecrow", pointing to Olaf and Grit. She orders a retreat because Colin will be boring, but decides to attack anyway.

General Strategy

With your first Blue Moon mission comes a new CO, Colin. His units are weaker than everyone's, but they're cheaper. You'll want numbers early on, especially with infantry.

Lash will build APC and infantry early on. She'll also rush for both airports and eventually build tanks. Produce infantry early game. As Lash will have lots of infantry as well, beat her with numbers before you move on to tanks and copters.

Take the neutral factory. It's highly unlikely you will want to build units from your HQ bases, so you'd better take one closer to the enemy.

Seize the middle airport. The middle airport gives you a place to build cheap and mobile battle copters to aid your cause. They will be helpful for when you are unable to kill a certain unit in one hit.

You may want to build a medium tank or two to destroy those pesky A-Airs and tanks, but add battle copters as well. This should be quite easy.

General Strategy

Choose Grit. You have bases, but you must win within fifteen days. Lash will take properties in the northwest, then advance from the southwest towards your HQ while sending a few units to stop you from taking the lab.

Missile power is important. Send missiles raining down on Lash's troops near the lab and in the northwest, and don't let the enemy take one. Use an APC to send infantry to capture that neutral base halfway to the lab. It's useful for when you make forces from there. Then build tanks and advance to the northeast to protect infantry to take the lab.

With your victory here, the Blue Moon forces will now be able to deploy Neotanks in upcoming missions.

Mission Briefing: The Blue Moon COs spot a giant missile silo being operated by the Black Hole Army. Surprisingly, Andy comes with a small air force to aid you in Olaf's fight to take out the giant missile silo. In 15 days, your forces will be blown up along with the missile silo.

Southern Front:

BM: 2 Mech, 3 A-Air, 1 Rocket
BH: 1 Rocket, 2 Medium Tanks, 2 Neotanks, 5 Battle Copters, 3 Bombers

General Strategy

The key points are as follows. First, you should destroy both pipeline seams in the east to provide some aid to the south with Andy's aerial forces. Second, save your Blue Moon infantry and mechs and leave them unhurt before you start taking the eight cities. Flak has powerful units, but doesn't seem to know how to use them. He will move it east, but since he only has three rockets even near the silo, he doesn't really have that much of a chance.

On this mission, Andy should leave one bomber in the north to wipe out everything on the western front, even the missile and artillery by the end with a destroyed seem. Andy should break open the seems to the other two fronts, and fire at will on the southern front. Before Andy's air force arrives in the south, you'll want to block those Neotanks and medium tanks from getting through with Andy's fighter or bomber.

Meanwhile, Olaf should get an A-Air as well to the southern front and make a battle copter and some bombers to eliminate the south, while keeping an eye on firing shots from indirect units onto those Neotanks, with direct support. Take properties and finish by Day 15.

An even quicker way to do it in Day 11 is to advance in the middle while staying out of rocket range. Use medium tanks and normal tanks to attack through the middle, while sending Andy's aircraft from the north to the south to go for total elimination or full city capture in 10-11 days.

General Strategy

You must survive for 14 days. Take the 3 bases and cities near you. Then guard the chokepoint by taking the neutral cities to the south, without advancing past the two mountains. Avoid indirect range at all possible and defend there with tanks backed by artillery, infantry, and anti-aircraft.

Take out all you can, but Lash has too many units and too many bases. She'll capture all the neutral bases and properties near here and keep advancing. Do not worry about pushing her back, just take out everything at the chokepoint. You may have to retreat a few squares on week two, but you just have to survive for fourteen days.

Mission Briefing: It appears to Grit that while Olaf is inspiring his troops, he notices THREE black cannons aiming fire on you through the forests in FOW. Lash seems to be the other Sonja of the BH universe, knowing all the intel and now having THREE Black Cannons against you. Grit accepts the challenge. You must reach the HQ with ANY unit to win. Your goal here is to keep everything in forest or out of range of the Black Cannons so they won't kill you.

General Strategy

Lash will make use of her three Black Cannons and units that hide on forest tiles. Take note of the three Black Cannons and their range. Black Cannons do a lot of damage.

On day one, weaken the tank and recon you see at first sight with your two artillery. Send the bottom tank of both sides to finish them off from the side. With your right rocket, kill the artillery. Move up both other tanks 3N. Move up your left rocket 3N. Move up your two infantry 2N and 2N 1W into the forest. Move everything as north as you can, preferably in forest. Don't go past the road though.

Afterwards, as long as you keep your units out of sight, Black Cannons can never attack you and the enemy will have to find you first. Advance slowly up the forest tiles, but keep your forces close enough together. Use your recons for vision.

Take cover in forests and make sure no enemy unit sees you. Hiding all your units in the forest means they can never fire on you first unless they find you first, and that takes two units. Your indirects are powerful, so keep them alive.

Kill the few units at first, but save your artillery and rockets as well as tanks on the final assault on the units at the city. Sneak a recon towards the HQ through the forests and make it to the HQ.

Olaf and Grit say they're ready for this challenge, when Nell pops up under Grit's request. Grit's help turns out to really be useful when an OS-BM alliance is helpful in defeating BH. Choose BM Olaf and OS Sami. Olaf has the bases while Sami has the predeployed units. You'll want Olaf to get the two bases.

General Strategy

Choose BM Olaf and OS Sami. Olaf has the bases while Sami has the predeployed units. You'll want Olaf to take at least one of the two neutral bases. If you can block her factory doors, you will have the advantage as Lash can't build much. Take the left side and smash the pipeline seam.

Lash will capture all the neutral bases and properties near her, then take control over the airports on both sides. She aims to take out Orange Star early so you lose. Her factory also produces many units that will try to kill you. If you have any units blocking her factory doors, she will aim for those first.

Attack north with Sami early to reduce the enemy's forces early on, then come in with Olaf. You'll want to keep a defensive wall, meaning that units can't just sneak around your defensive positions. Take airports and missiles and fire missiles on Lash's concentrated forces. Block factory doors when you get there to prevent more factory-produced units. Bring in forces with Olaf like tanks and then smash the pipeline seam with them.

General Strategy

The missile silos in the middle are up for grabs for both sides. Whoever speeds to the middle and grabs them and the bases will have a noticeable advantage over the enemy. Secure the silos in the middle with fast troops, along with the bases there. Build island forces and fire missiles on massed enemy forces. Focus on building tanks, recons, lots of infantry, and of course, battle copters for speed. Have two transport copters around.

Flak will take a seaport and build a lander, but his primary forces will either be in the north or the east, depending on how long it takes to launch two missiles and take those properties. Take the middle island and charge southwest. When you reach the HQ, camp on enemy bases.

To S-Rank, for the first few days, race to the middle to launch those missiles while taking properties and silo attacks on the way.

• Kanbei Day 20: Destroy two mechs, artillery, and APC. You win!

With a Kanbei victory, apparently Flak is one of the greatest losers of all time, losing to Orange Star, Blue Moon, AND Yellow Comet. And Kooper says he most likely smells too. Sonja hurries to tell Kanbei an apology for the silos, but Kanbei refuses to accept it, as it helped him more.

General Strategy

As they are also your offensive force, you should land infantry in the eastern peninsula and inch up with battle copter help. Watch out for missiles in the northeast. Your key in the land war in the south, is to grab the neutral base, arm up a tank or two, and advance upward. Though those indirects and infantry hiding in the forest on the western front will stall you, those battle copters will help again.

Mission Briefing: Sonja's intel shows that the Black Hole forces are encamped there. Sonja spots the stronghold but Kanbei refuses to let her go. Sensei convinces Kanbei to let her go. Sonja spots the 8 cannons surrounding the fortress and knows to kill all 8 to win or capture the HQ. Adder laughs, and Sonja quickly notices that it's CO Adder. There is a hidden map to the secret lab here, which is the southwesternmost neutral city. It's in FOW, so it's Sonja's specialty. It'll still annoy you a bit though...

Predeployed Units

BH: 1 Infantry, 2 Mechs, 4 Recon, 2 Tank, 1 Medium Tank, 1 A-Air, 1 APC, 1 T-Copter, 2 Artillery, 4 Rocket, 5 Battle Copter, 2 Bomber

General Strategy

You basically build a wall of infantry in front, then have tanks, A-Airs, a recon, and artillery behind it to defend the initial attack. The idea is to build cheap units to form a defensive wall (you should rarely build anything worth more than a 8,000G anti-air on most maps). Use tanks for anything that you can't reach, artillery to kill every land unit, two A-Airs to wipe out any sort of air, and infantry for a defensive boundary.

Those early units will easily wipe out his early aerial and land forces, which leaves the northern navy that he has. Use rockets to smash those minicannons from a distance. Just keep both eyes on the neutral bases and don't let Adder take them...you shall take control. Shift your forces westward by Day 12 and capture both ports, building subs to crash his sub-battleship navy on both fronts with help from indirects. Smash the minicannons with medium tanks and rockets, add an A-Air against his random battle copter encounters, and take the southwest city again, which is the lab city, to unlock the secret mission.

End

Adder is surprised, but still blames it on bad luck. Adder is forced to retreat, and you win by clearing the fortress! Kanbei is impressed with Sonja's ability as well. "Perfect planning wins the day!"

Now with three missions with ****, and a lab with ***** in the northeast, you have little options. Choose the southeast mission.

Kanbei vs. Adder

Difficulty: ****

Mission Briefing: The laser cannon has been deployed for Adder on a mountain. Flak doubts YC will actually go up it, but Adder replies that he'd siege YC cities if they don't. Flak helps him deploy infantry. The cities are for bait, it turns out... So Kanbei wants to fight, but Sonja notices the trap and notes that the cities aren't too important. Kanbei replies that they are YC COs and can't let more of Yellow Comet be taken. Look around the map to find two Laser Cannons that fire like a cross...so the early roads are covered.

General Strategy

Speed isn't on your side. The trick is to take out the laser cannons with rocket range, and possibly mechs to finish them off. Move those tanks as far as you can. Adder's infantry and mechs will start capturing your cities on Day 5, and finish taking them on Day 11 if you're not careful. Utilize those indirect units and the bridge to your advantage...stay out of BH indirect range, and use your tanks and Super Power to mow through them when the time comes and you shouldn't really even lose many units.

Remember to join units if the tanks get weakened...they are your major offensive weapon. Decimate those forces at the bridge, and then, after you've had the city situation under control, pull back some tanks to take care of that final Black Hole hold in the south-central portion of the map while also crushing those rockets with rapid-moving tanks. So, take out laser cannons in days 4 and 8, smash their forces from the back then march through and stop BH from taking your final city on Day 11. Advance to the south to take out the remaining units.

Mission Briefing: Black Hole seems to be ready to sign a peace treaty with Yellow Comet with their heavy losses in the country, and are giving a favorable proposal to Yellow Comet. Sonja believes it's a trap, Kanbei still wants to hear out. They reach the peace treaty location and it seems Adder is clearing obstacles on the road to reach YC. Sensei accepts the challenge.

Sonja tells Sensei the pipe is indestructible but that the seam can be broken. Sensei knows this battle as only a skirmish in comparison to the past. Sensei must destroy the three minicannons to win. Look around, the map is big. Take out the seams to bring reinforcements from the south to the north. Also you don't have allied cities in the NE corner for no reason. You will get soldiers from there when you use the CO Power or the Super Power.

Predeployed Units

YC: 3 Infantry, 3 T-Copter, 3 B-Copter, 5 Bomber

BH: 3 Infantry, 4 Mech, 2 APC, 1 Recon, 6 Tank, 3 A-Air, 6 Medium Tank, 1 Neotank, 3 Artillery, 4 Rocket, 3 Missile

General Strategy

Sensei must destroy the three minicannons to win. From the southwest, take out the seams to bring reinforcements from the south to the north. Also you don't have allied cities in the northeast corner for no reason. You will get soldiers from there when you use the CO Power or the Super Power and that'll allow you to access the missiles to fire on Adder's forces.

Don't get fooled by the two-front war. There is really only one. You want your air force to reach your home base ASAP to save it, which means your entire air force except for a bomber should be blowing through the seems. However, since you can't send everything at the seems once, you can use your remaining bombers and battle copters to destroy Adder's land units in the south while you wait.

From that northern base, build artillery and medium tanks and defend at the cities. After your bombers and battle copters arrive, it'll become much easier to fight back. The first CO Power that you should use is a Super CO Power so that you can use those mechs to take out the tanks, rocket, and missile in the northeast and have access to the northeast missiles to fire on the large northwestern force. At the end, build an APC to refuel those bombers, then use them to take out the minicannons after those units are cleared.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• Sensei Day 1: In the north, move your medium tank 2W 3N, move tank 1N 5E, and move artillery 2N 3W. Note this will play a lot like Mighty Kanbei! from AW, so you should know to defend the choke points with style. Build an artillery from the right base. In the south, move all bombers 3E 4N. Move battle copters 2E 4N. Build two infantry from both remaining bases. Move all 3 infantry into transport copters 3W and move them 6E. Drop east.

In the south, use your SE bomber and move it 7E to bomb Adder's A-Air. Use top two bombers to bomb the two seems above you. Move one bomber in between them, and the other one to severely injure the infantry next to it. Move your battle copters east and have one take it out. Send all transports and one infantry to airport. Use the other three to capture cities near base. Create another infantry.
• Adder Day 2: Move down vast army.
• Sensei Day 3: Finish capturing two cities and start capturing the airport. Use the bomber that attacked before to attack the other A-Air and take 3 damage while dealing another 8. Blow up the seems with the same bombers, then send the other two to bomb the next two seems. Use your battle copters to weaken the medium tank nearing the airports, take out a 2HP A-Air, and nearly kill an artillery. Use T-Copters to surround the medium tank and use infantry. In the north, attack the mech with your artillery and medium tank to attack tank in the left, while finishing the A-Air with artillery and tank in the right. Send another artillery to both sides. Build an artillery in the left and an infantry in the right.
• Adder Day 3: Move down massive army. In the south, attack infantry with tank and attack transport copter with medium tank. In the north, advance and use some mechs to cross mountains. Also attack right tank with medium tank.
• Sensei Day 4: In the north (right), attack the medium tank with both artillery. Move the tank 1S from the city. Move the infantry from the eastern base 3N and build another one. In the west, move the left artillery 1W. With the right one, injure the full-health tank. In the south, finish capturing the airport and move ALL infantry off cities. Use CO power Copter Command! Back to the north (left), take out the tank above your medium tank with it. Take out the mech with your infantry, and then move your 9HP infantry up to attack the 4HP one. Move other artillery 1W 3N onto city. Do not move infantry to the right.

In the south, finish the next seems with your two bombers and move up your other two to start blowing up the next two. Use three battle copters to kill a mech, injure a recon, and injure a tank. Use your last bomber to finish off that other medium tank. Move infantry from there northeast to take out tank, and surround other medium tank with two transport copters. Move other one to infantry on airport. Build infantry from bottom base. In the top left one, build an infantry as well.

• Adder Day 4: Two cannons fire at that first infantry you have, now down to 2HP. Sidewinder. In the north, take out 2HP infantry with artillery, attack your infantry in northeast corner you recently got but didn't move, and a Neotank attacks your medium tank in northwest. A tank takes out an infantry in northeast. Nearly take out artillery with mech and infantry. Move down units.
• Sensei Day 5: Use infantry now that you got from northeast 3S. In the south, bomb the medium tank with your bomber. In the north, move your artillery on western city 1S and your other infantry 1N to attack the mech. Use Copter Command! With infantry in the northeast, attack the rocket and missile. Also start taking the city and base there. With your southern battle copter, injure the medium tank there to 1HP. Move infantry north towards the broken pipeline seams. Build an infantry in the bottom base.

Move your battle copters up to weaken a missile and take out a damaged recon. With bombers, destroy the two seems again and use your other two to damage again. Move infantry on eastern base 1SW to attack the seem. With your western two artillery, attack the Neotank and deal it 6 damage. Move infantry on western base 2N. Make a medium tank from that base. In the east, injure mech with artillery, move 1HP artillery 2S, and use tank and two infantry to finish BH infantry and mech. Build infantry from right base.

• Adder Day 5: Move units down. Neotank and Tank moves into west to attack infantry and artillery. In the east, an infantry is destroyed. Three total infantry taken down all over.
• Sensei Day 6: In the southeast, take out 1HP artillery with infantry, and medium tank with battle copter. In the northeast, use weakened battle copter to take out missile and use full HP battle copter to weaken 4HP A-Air to 1. Take out missile with two infantry in very northeast, and weaken rocket to 1HP with infantry. Continue to attempt to take city and base. With your infantry near missile silos, aim a missile at that hits most units on the western front: A Neotank at the bottom, a medium tank, three tanks, an APC, 1 infantry, and 1 mech to deal it a massive 24 damage overall.

Use the other one to aim a little higher, aiming one with top at rocket and hitting 8 units again, to deal 22 damage. With western artillery and two infantry, take out two tanks, kill an infantry, and weaken a mech. In the east, the medium tank came in, but ignore it for now. With your front two bombers, destroy the seems. Move in your right back bomber 6N 1E to severely weaken that medium tank. Start capturing base below first seem with that infantry, and move your other bomber 7N. Build a medium tank from left base. End after killing the medium tank in the right and attacking rocket with tank. Move two infantry to cities next to bottom seem. Move bomber up as well.

• Adder Day 6: Sidewinder. Kill one artillery with tank. Take out another infantry. Also, weakens like half your units on western front.
• Sensei Day 7: Capture cities and bases at pipeline seams. Move 2HP artillery down. Move medium tanks up to attack his. With your other medium tank, attack the tank on the yellow city. Take out the rocket in the right with your bomber. Copter Command. Use northeast infantry and battle copters to slowly eliminate those units. In the north, move bombers up and attack anything in sight but don't go into missile/A-Air range. Attack anything in sight, as this is the turning point. Build medium tank from left base.
• Adder Day 7: Attack infantry with cannons. Attack a few units, feel doomed. Build an infantry.
• Sensei Day 8: Copter Command, thought you won't get units. Move up units but still stay out of range of A-Air/bombers. Blow up eastern seem. Move everything else up! That, and continue taking properties.
• Adder Day 8: Attacks bombers with cannons :P
• Sensei Day 9: Send EVERYTHING up to destroy cannons. And the units near them. You can hit the missile/A-Air, but it won't matter too much here.
• Adder Day 9: Attack bombers. Attack everything else in sight. Feel doomed.
• Sensei Day 10: Finish off all three cannons to win! Victory for Sensei! Sensei scares away Adder :) .

Mission Briefing: Sonja and Kanbei notices no one at the battlefield once again but they move onward. Lash notices no one as well. The clash of Lash and Sonja comes when Sonja arrives. Sonja told Lash that Sonja's army had moved on, which turns out to be fake intel, getting even Kanbei and Sensei to agree. Sonja trapped Lash, it turns out. Artillery and rockets for you, but Lash has a huge army. Both noticing each other's weaknesses and attacking them, the battle begins.

Predeployed Units

YC: 5 Mech, 2 Recon, 2 APC, 3 Tank, 4 Artillery, 9 Rocket

BH: 3 Infantry, 3 Mech, 2 Recon, 2 APC, 4 Tank, 9 Medium Tank, 2 Neotanks, 2 Artillery, 2 Rockets, 2 A-Air

General Strategy

Move your non-mech units as close to the mountain ranges as possible. Always have a medium tank on the HQ. Hide your HQ rocket on a forest tile and keep your four HQ units at the HQ. With your indirects, prioritize weakening and destroying rockets and artillery first, then weakening the strongest direct units like Neotanks and medium tanks second so they can't do significant damage to your central front medium tanks. The others you can match with your tanks. You'll want to have your indirects firing as much as you can, so move them whenever they can't hit anything.

Don't advance mechs or your central front tanks to the middle till Lash only has a few units left or looks like she has no chance of taking your HQ, which should be somewhere around day 7.

Lash regards war as a game, and says that she has more pieces to play with even with Sonja's victory. Sonja is shocked that Lash believes so and says Sonja is similar to her. Lash feels joy in war in the way chess is played. "Tee hee hee! Toodles!" Sonja doesn't want to be like Lash.

Here, you move on to either the hidden lab mission or the final mission with the red star flag. If you go to the final mission now you will miss it... so go onward to the lab mission. It's CO Selecting vs. Adder!

Mission Briefing: Sonja finds the Black Hole lab on the map and intel shows that Black Hole has been researching a new tank there. Calculating on Adder's skill, Sonja believes you will have a 18-day limit. Sensei notices the war between Sami and Adder, and YC joins them. Choose Kanbei. Sami and Kanbei begin their attack.

General Strategy

For Sami, attack the strongest units you can, as you don't need to kill anything till the Neos come. Make sure that the bombers are baited to attack yellow infantry and APCs at the island with the airport and port. Build a tank in the right base and some infantry for first two days to take props and defend your island, but afterwards, build all bombers.

Use your cruiser to destroy all subs and bombers except for the northern sub, and have Sami's aid along with your bombers to smash the battleships. Your battleship will be destroyed eventually, but you'll take out enough units. Grab the northern neutral airport and lure an A-Air with a T-Copter, then smash them with your bombers, out of missile range. If you can stay out, you will win.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Mission Briefing: Hawke arrives to ask how Adder is doing. Adder becomes very self-conscious at his losing streak and promises that they will take YC soon. Adder knows that Hawke is there to replace him in conquering the allied missions, so he has to win. You as YC shall not let him. Sonja finds the BH factory there and promises to take it down. Olaf arrives to YC to bring his army to aid Kanbei in the fight against Adder. OS also joins with a CO. Choose Sensei and Max.

General Strategy

Choose Sensei/Kanbei and Max. There's three minicannons on one island. A minicannon guards the pipeline seam. Adder has 3 bases and close to 4. He also has a pesky factory.

Your objective is to take out the pipeline seam. With Max, you'll want to have another infantry built, to take the three properties on your island, then grab the airport and the two cities near it ASAP. With it, use it to build a bomber when you have the money, then a fighter to protect that bomber, and then as many bombers as you can make. Use these to destroy the four cannons in the middle, as well as all naval units like cruisers and any anti-airs and missiles that are in the way. With all this, you should be able to prepare a bomber force of 2~4 to unleash an offensive to hit the cannon in front of the seem and then destroy it. You might lose a bomber in the process, but so what? Technique won't be lost.

For Sensei or Kanbei, you'll want a combined force of just about everything. First, put in three artillery in addition to a few infantry to take land, but your primary offensive force to strike those indirects are tanks. And medium tanks. Use a lot of those, and keep one or two A-Airs around. You'll also want to put in a sub to lure those naval units, and possibly kill a few with artillery backing.

For a high point total, watch out on power points and make sure to kill a lot of units in one go.

This concludes the Yellow Comet Campaign, but the hardest has yet to come.

End

You win, and Adder blames the weather. YC COs talk about their victory, and thanks Olaf..."with some help from Orange Star". Nell tells Kanbei that Hawke, the last Black Hole new CO, has Green Earth near defeat, and ask of Blue Moon and Yellow Comet to aid Green Earth.

This concludes the Yellow Comet Campaign, but the hardest has yet to come.

Mission Briefing: Hawke asks Adder if the fortress is readying, along with minicannons. Adder says it's true. Hawke also learns that only a GE air force is coming. Eagle asks all to take out the fortress. A GE pilot reports that it is no good cause Hawke has too much A-Air. Eagle learns that Black Hole knew about him coming, and notes that they could let BH take the factory, or suffer heavy casualties taking it. The GE pilot decides to go, as he remembers Eagle told him that they mustn't lose. Another pilot agrees. Aim for the minicannons and "Let's give them a show of power they won't soon forget!"

General Strategy

You'll need to destroy all 8 cannons. On Day 1, move everything as far up as you can east, but avoiding getting in fighter range. On the same day Hawke will run into your trap. On Day 2, use fighters against fighters, cruisers and battle copters on battle copters (to weaken battle copters and kill two of them) on Day 2. Hawke then uses his Super CO Power.

Prepare a formation outside submarine-cruiser range on Day 3 for the assault on Day 4, in which you will use your Super CO Power. Have bombers in front, followed by battle copters and then fighters. Destroy the front four minicannons and with Super CO Power, weaken the front two minis on the island. Then pull back and combine two 5+5 HP units. By now, 4 minis are destroyed, 2 are weakened (Day 4 and 5). On Day 5, aim your bombers ready to aim at the final minicannons. Kill the front ones, then the back ones. Just don't lose more than 2 units for full technique.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• Eagle Day 1: Look east. You have eight battle copters, four fighters, and six bombers. He has six battle copters, four fighters, two cruisers, four A-Air, and four missiles, as well as eight minicannons. Move middle two battle copters 5E. Move all other battle copters 6E. Move middle four bombers 7E. Move the side two 6E. Move top and bottom fighters 8E. Move next to top fighter 7E 2N, and the next to bottom fighter 7E 2S.
• Hawke Day 1: Send front fighters 9W, send front battle copters 6W, send back fighters and battle copters in a crazy 1N, all the way W formation. Cruisers move 6W.
• Eagle Day 2: Here, the fighters are nearby. Move top fighter 5E and take out the battle copter south of you. Move bottom fighter 4E and take out the battle copter to the north. Move 2nd to top fighter 2E 1S to attack that fighter, and move the 2nd to bottom fighter 2E 1N to do the same. Move bottom two copters to take out Hawke's copter, then use the 2nd and 3rd highest copters to take out his northern one. With your remaining 4 battle copters, surround the four fighters so they can't get out. Move your non-middle 2 bombers 7E except for the north one which should move 6E 1N. Move the last two bombers 5E.
• Hawke Day 2: Attack battle copters to the left with both fighters to deal 4 damage each. Fighters, battle copters, and the bombers move up westward.
• Eagle Day 3: Use top and bottom bombers to bomb down both front cannons from the left. (Northern one 7E, southern one 1S 6E) Finish off both weakened fighters with same fighters from the right. Move northern no damaged fighter 5E 1S to attack it. Move your southern fighter 5E to attack his. Move the now southern bomber 1E. Move the top one 2N 1E, and the middle two 3E. Move middle two battle copters 5E. Move top battle copter 4E 1N. Move the left remaining top copter 5E 1N. Move the one directly right 5E 1S. Move the bottom copter 4E 1N. You have two battle copters to move. Move the left one 6E and the east one 5E 1N. End.
• Hawke Day 3: Cannons hit closest bombers to 7HP. Black Storm, dealing 4 damage this first time. Fighter moves to take out one battle copter and injure the other. Your battle copters move up, one injuring another copter. Northern cruiser takes out bomber, southern cruiser takes out battle copter. Take out the northern cruiser
• Eagle Day 4: You now have an air force of (and HPs at):

Battle Copters: 2, 3, 4, 4, 8, 8
Fighters: 6, 6, 6, 7
Bombers: 5, 8, 8, 8, 8

Send top two fighters to take out top fighter, then use one fighter to attack the bottom fighter. Bomb the northern cruiser with your 8HP bomber, staying out of range. In the south, use two 8HP bombers to take out the cruiser. Move up remaining fighter to attack the full health battle copter in the north instead of finishing 1HP on the final fighter, and use a 4HP copter to weaken that to 1HP. Use your two 8HP battle copters to finish off the bottom one. Move your other forces out of missile, A-Air, and cannon range and prepare to advance now that you have Lightning Strike, but don't actually use it yet.

• Hawke Day 4: With fighter, deal 1 damage to battle copter. Send 3HP cruiser down to take out 3HP battle copter. Move up northern missile.
• Eagle Day 5: Move units in this formation:

North: 8HP bomber, 7HP bomber, 8HP battle copter, 4HP battle copter, 3HP battle copter, 7HP fighter, 5HP fighter

South: 8HP bomber, 7HP bomber, 5HP bomber, 6HP battle copter, 2HP battle copter, 6HP fighter, 6HP fighter

• Eagle Day 6+: Prepare to launch your attack in this order in upcoming days: Take out western A-Air, missiles, then western cannons, then move to back cannons, take out those, and take out A-Air. Then take out the cannons near them to win.

Mission Briefing: Hawke wants Lash to finish repairs on the battleships within 30 days. Lash says it'll take 17 days. The southernmost city on the western island contains the lab map. Jess notes that although she has few troops, she can't lose time before the repairs are complete.

General Strategy

As long as you pay more attention to keeping your initial predeployed forces alive to lure aircraft to destroy, and keep on churning in aircraft, you will be able to sink the nine unfueled battleships fast enough. Bring a lander to capture those northwest island properties, including the lab city (southern of the two cities).

On land, be in a defensive format with medium tanks in front and artillery plus rockets just behind for protection for the initial assault, then flank and take them out. Also remember to keep two A-Air at the top of the continental region to keep those damned bombers away. Take the bases, then build indirect units like artillery and battleships from your bases and port respectively to take out the battleships. Do not lose more than 6 units for full technique. Build units at the end so you don't lose technique. For full speed, win in 15 days.

Mission Briefing: Hawke has a Black Cannon now, and Hawke seems to be the only one that takes any allied country seriously. Drake, who is spotted with his navy at a small southern island, debates whether to take out the Black annon head-on or to seize the HQ. Eagle comes in through a transmitter and learns of Drake's dilemma, but that Yellow Comet troops are on their way, led by Kanbei. Take out both Black Cannons here with Kanbei's aid. Drake and Kanbei together shall take out Hawke, right?

Black Hole units to beware of:

Western side of Lake: Recon, Rocket
Northern side of Lake: 2 Recon, Artillery
Northeast side of Lake: Artillery, 2 Rockets, Recon

General Strategy

With Drake, you want to dive your subs and move your battleships south on reefs. Watch out for the range of the Black Cannons, which extend to just south of the island next to Drake's naval units. Also watch out for rockets around the southern part of the lake in particular.

In the Re-Boot Camp version, you'll want to stay out of range of two rockets that are on two forest tiles. One is two squares east of the eastern Black Cannon, while another is two squares south. You can use your subs to spot them, and then two of your battleships south to take the rockets and Black Cannons. You'll also need to damage a lot of Drake's units so that you can get the full power rating. You can also bring your lander down after you clear this path if you want to transport some land units over to the Black Cannons.

With Kanbei, your goal is to stem the tide of Hawke's forces, with a recon for vision, infantry as front line troops, and artillery for defense.

Turn by Turn Strategy

Enemy behavior may vary with positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If it does, follow the mission objective and stated priorities rather than trying to match every move exactly.

• Drake Day 1: Move bottom sub 1E 5S and dive to spot one infantry, two artillery, and two rockets. With northeast battleship, attack the rocket you spot to the east. Move southern battleship 1S. Move subs all the way south and dive. Move everything else either south and out of range (do not venture out of central of lake as you will be sniped on), or onto reefs. So cruisers should all be on subs, while battleships are just around lake. Build an infantry in SE base near Kanbei. End.
• Kanbei Day 1: Build two infantry.
• Hawke Day 1: Move infantry east to take city, move units south. From the south, move units north.
• Drake Day 2: Move dived subs down. Hawke has no navy. Start sending battleships into reefs over to cannon. Must be in reef or don't go into cannon change, except for dived subs. Move battleships down. Don't worry about air either, he only has a few battle copters. Move bottom infantry 1N 2E to take base. Make a recon.
• Kanbei Day 2: Move both infantry 2N to take two cities. Build two more infantry.
• Hawke Day 2: Hawke notices the YC Army and reminds you of missile targeting cannons, which could be useful. Move land units up, which don't do a damn to you.
• Drake Day 3: Move down subs. Continue moving battleships down with reefs. Finish capturing southeast base. Move recon 1N 5E. Build another infantry.
• Kanbei Day 3: Finish capturing two cities. Move other two infantry 1E 2N. Build a tank in left base, infantry in right base.
• Hawke Day 3: Move around pointless land units. One recon manages to hit YC infantry.
• Drake Day 4: Move bottom dived sub west. Move sub spotting rocket to the left on forest 2S. Move lowest battleship 1W 5S. With next two battleships, take out western rocket. In southeast, move recon 2E 5N to attack his recon. Move infantry east.
• Kanbei Day 4: Move tank up to kill weakened recon. Get missile and fire at rocket and units nearby, using eastern rocket as leftest target. Move up infantry, start taking another city.
• Hawke Day 4: Attack GE recon, fire missile at YC forces, move forces south at Kanbei, attack infantry with recon, all other actions unknown.
• Drake Day 5: Build APC in SE base. With bottom battleship, fire at the eastern cannon and deal it 55% damage. Weaken artillery, finish off eastern rocket with back battleships. Move up recon into forest. Move infantry east. Move running out of fuel subs to shoal of GE SE island.
• Kanbei Day 5: Build tank from western base. Weaken recon with tank. Finish capturing city. Build recon from eastern base.
• Hawke Day 5: Black Wave. -1HP on all enemy units. Kill 2HP infantry with 3HP recon. Watch eastern cannon get destroyed.
• Drake Day 6: Destroy eastern cannon with battleship. Heal two dived subs at bottom with APC. Move down all fuel-dying dived subs down except for top one which moves north. Can't fire with no subs with top battleships. Move 4HP recon in the east to 1E of attacking battleship, 2E of evil rocket. Move fueled dived sub up.
• Kanbei Day 6: With two tanks, kill and weaken recon. Bring up other recon. Start capturing another city.
• Hawke Day 6: Destroy a YC infantry, weaken a GE infantry.
• Drake Day 7: Move bottom battleship 4S 1E into reef. Fuel two more dying dived subs in bottom. Fuel dying sub in north. Keep moving that one oldest fueled dived sub north. Take out one artillery and weaken the other with battleships. Move down top battleship but keep out of cannon/artillery range. Build rocket from NE base from bottom.
• Kanbei Day 7: Combine 1+1=2HP infantry. Finish capturing city. Take out two recon with two tank. Build tank in eastern base.
• Hawke Day 7: Move down recon, surprise Kanbei with medium tank attacking tank, A-Air to surround it. Move random other land units.
• Drake Day 8: Move bottom battleship 6W. Move subs for vision. Take out recon with one battleship. Move other two south but out of range of artillery fire. Move rocket east onto YC HQ.
• Kanbei Day 8: Look at newly built Hawke Neotank. Retreat all you can into forest or south. Build nothing.
• Hawke Day 8: Continue taking south. Recon takes out GE infantry. Neotank takes out tank. A-Air takes out GE infantry, moving it on eastern YC base.
• Drake Day 9: Attack western cannon with southern battleship. Move northern battleship east. Use other two battleships to weaken a medium tank and artillery. Attack A-Air with rocket. Use Tsunami. Move recon 3N to take out artillery.
• Kanbei Day 9: Use 6HP tank to take out A-Air on base. Move up tank to take out 9HP recon. Build a medium tank from eastern base.
• Hawke Day 10: Take out recon, weaken northern battleship, move Neotanks at Kanbei and attack a tank with Neotank.
• Drake Day 11: Attack western cannon to 1HP. Use battleship to weaken medium tank. Build rocket in NE base.
• Kanbei Day 11: Move 8HP tank 2E into forest.
• Hawke Day 11: On his last day, he uses Black Wave. -1HP on all your units. Continue taking props, advancing at Kanbei with Neotanks and taking out rocket on YC HQ. Continue making useless units.
• Drake Day 12: Kill the western cannon with your battleship to win!

End

Hawke seems to not care too much about the Black Cannons, but suggests a retreat. Drake thanks Kanbei for the reinforcements, although Kanbei really didn't matter on this mission except for some power. Kanbei and Drake agree to work together when they storm Black Hole.

You now have four missions to choose from. Three are *****, one is ****. Take the northeast **** one with Jess.

Mission Briefing:

Lash tells Hawke that Flak wants to talk to him about launching an attack at a volcano, with Hawke annoyingly finishing all of Flak's comments about it being dangerous and it's why they're doing it. The new volcano terrain disrupts air currents. Lava pours out as well. Flak questions Hawke to save himself as the mission begins with "The lava's going to make little people pancakes! Tee hee hee!" Maybe like Lash herself? :P Anyway, go on into the mission. Green Earth notices they can't go air with the volcano nearby, so Jess takes the ground combat forces, even with Eagle's yelling. Drake defends Jess, and Eagle blames "letting off steam."

General Strategy

This mission has a volcano. Your main focus of attack shold be from the north. The south has a lot of mechs which will take time to dislodge.

Grab the northern bases ASAP, and take out the mechs up in the mountains. Use mostly tanks, adding in a couple of medium tanks. Build 4 infantry and one APC the first two days and watch for the volcano pattern. Stall down the Black Hole forces at your HQ but make no major effort in the south. The north is where you will advance.

Remember to capture the city on your home island. The initial two mechs and recon are killed/weakened with the A-Air and tank. Remember that you can manipulate the volcano pattern by luring units into the lava. Anyways, the southern path doesn't require a lot of defense because Hawke can't easily launch an offensive. The southern tank should actually retreat to the northwest base where a medium tank and tank can combat Black Hole on roughly equal ground. If they retreat from lack of fuel, that's the time to destroy them.

Join units if they get injured badly, and keep around an A-Air on the northern front to kill pesky mechs and infantry. Once you've reached the river in the north, use Overdrive and attack past it. TANKS are key, I repeat. Bring along that A-Air and the two APCs (and infantry) to capture cities and eventually, the bases and HQ itself.

Continue making tanks or Medium tanks (depending on funds) every turn from the closer northwest base. By Day 15, start building infantry from other bases so you won't lose too much Technique points, and to defend your HQ island. Once you get the chance, make a major push with those tanks in the north and seize the HQ by blocking all the bases...advance at the bottom for more power. Hawke will not be able to stem the invasion, and you can beat him in some 17-18 days.

End

Hawke notes that they made it this far so he retreats. Jess tells a soldier in the field that she is proud of their efforts to take out BH there. Eagle snaps at Jess and leaves. Drake talks to Jess for a little. "Looks like I survived another day." Your victory opens up the final mission of the Green Earth campaign, but don't go there yet, of course. You'd skip a lot...so choose the northeast mission with CO select. This is the GE NeoTank mission.

General Strategy

You must take enemy lab in a 10-day limit, which means that you must win in 9. You can use Jess for the better vehicles, or Eagle for his improved battle copters and Lightning Strike Super CO Power ability.

This is a Fog of War map. Black Hole has three battle copters coming from the north, a tank, a recon, and a hidden rocket. Build an anti-Air (or two) and battle copter as your first units out of your westernmost base, and an infantry (to capture the airport) and a recon (for vision) as your first two out of the central base. Don't build from the right base until you can bring units from the west. Don't lose more than two units for a full technique score.

Mission Briefing:

Lash builds another laser cannon for Adder, and with Flak's help, attempt to neutralize Orange Star forces in Green Earth diverting Black Hole forces and give Green Earth much needed supply. Adder remarks that they would ask Sami for a surrender first and convince Sami to join the dark side. Sami asks OS forces to hold on till Eagle arrives. OS soldier comes to Sami talking about the surrender, and Sami quickly rejects it out of hand. GE soldier tells Eagle about the OS surrender negotiation which Sami won't sign, and Eagle believes Sami is leading the OS forces. Sami's response seems to be what Eagle likes, and Eagle is ready to save Sami's flanked forces and take out Adder out of Green Earth once-and-for-all. Eagle asks to take the HQ or take out a cannon.

Predeployed Units

GE: 1 Infantry, 1 APC, 1 Recon, 2 A-Air, 1 Transport Copter, 3 Battle Copters, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers

OS: 3 Mechs, 1 APC, 1 A-Air, 1 Missile, 1 Rocket

BH: 2 Infantry, Too many other units to name

General Strategy

You'll want to race through the enemy lines to save Sami, while avoiding the laser cannons which fire every day as well as the anti-airs (check cannon fire range every turn). Save your bombers to attack mini-cannons and to keep spending your money building planes.

On day 1, move all of Eagle's units westward, but make sure to avoid the ranges of the two eastern laser cannons and the anti-air. Build two infantry. With Sami, move the mechs and APCs towards the cities, where they can heal and be better defended.

On day 2, send Eagle's forces west to destroy most of Adder's southern forces. Do not advance on the laser cannons yet. Instead, following the unit matchups, use your fighters and against Adder's bombers, use your anti-airs and battle copters against the battle copters, and use your bombers against the anti-air. You can make use of your CO Power on this turn. When you do so, make sure your units avoid the range of the eastern cannons, missile (you can put one unit in missile range and be okay), and rocket. Meanwhile, Adder will bring a bomber over to begin the assault on Sami. Therefore, it would be better if Adder attacks a unit that's not the anti-air or missile. Keep in mind that Adder can extend his movement range with the Sidewinder ability (+2 movement).

On day 3, send Eagle's direct units north to destroy the missile and rocket. Advance your fighters and bombers as far as north as they can without being in Laser Cannon range, to begin assisting Sami. Build a battle copter. Meanwhile, use Sami's anti-air ant missile to begin taking down Adder's bomber and then battle copters, in that order.

On day 4, have Eagle's fighters focus on attacking Adder's air force, prioritizing fighters and bombers, and then focusing on battle copters next. Move all of Eagle's units north or northwest, and keep building battle copters whenever you have money to build them that you move towards the central battleground. Then use Sami's anti-air/missile, whatever you have left, to attack any fighters or bombers. Use Sami's mechs the rest of the way to attack any units that get in range of your mechs on the cities.

From day 5 onward, use Eagle's fighters to attack Adder's remaining air units, and Eagle's bombers and battle copters to attack any remaining land units attacking Sami. From this point onward, use one turn to get two bombers within range of the northeast missile and cannon, then attack both on the same turn. Then focus on using Eagle's bombers and battle copters to attack the northern defenses consisting of the missile, anti-air, and rockets. This will allow Eagle to damage the northwest cannon unharmed, and you can sneak some battle copters over to damage the southwest cannon.

End

It turns out Sami was trying to bring Green Earth supplies, but instead they get surrounded. Eagle doesn't blame Sami, as the OS-GE alliance boosted GE morale. Sami blushes a bit. "I will not permit the enemy a moment of rest!"

Predeployed Units

GE: 2 Infantry, 1 A-Air, 3 Cruisers
BH: 6 Battle Copters

Mission Briefing: Hawke asks if Lash has completed the airport. Lash has, but she wants to add extra options like a self-destruct system. Hawke doesn't care for one. "Tsk! Boooooring!" Hawke asks Lash if it's finished, and it is. Drake's navy is now ready to take on Hawke's air force, which will be quite a task. Drake is informed by a GE soldier that the airport is being finished by BH forces and was just recently known. Drake understands air power is over naval power, which is why Hawke has yet to see action with ANY navy so far except for two cruiers on Eagle's first mission, but the sea dog is ready!

General Strategy

You start with an anti-air, two infantry, three cruisers, and a lander. On day 1, move an anti-air and infantry into the lander, move your other infantry towards a neutral base, and move your three cruisers northeast. Build two infantry. Hawke will begin moving his battle copters westward.

On day 2, move your three infantry up, and your cruisers and lander to the east. Build an infantry and an anti-air. On day 3, continue capturing the neutral properties. Move your cruisers further east, but keep them out of range of the battle copters. Land your anti-air and infantry. On day 4, use one cruiser to take out a battle copter. Move your anti-air eastward and your infantry eastward to pull battle copters in. Hawke will then attack two of your cruisers.

On day 5, use one anti-air to destroy a battle copter, use your full-HP cruiser to attack a full-health battle copter, and your weakened cruisers to destroy two of the damaged battle copters. By day 6, with the help of your anti-air, you should have destroyed all the battle copters. Start transferring more anti-airs and infantry towards the mainland. Move your cruisers eastward to keep any future battle copters and transport copters. As you do so, stay out of any battle copter range.

From day 6 onward, it shifts from being a predeployed map to being one where you build your own units. Keep transporting anti-airs and infantry with landers to the mainland. You'll want to make use of Drake's Super CO Powers and capture the neutral bases in the middle of the map while advancing with your anti-airs. When Drake starts building tanks, you should also bring tanks into the land war as your anti-airs can't take the tanks head on. Keep building tanks and the occasional medium tank as you advance eastward, and capture the north-central island so that you can deploy a fighter or two. Ultimately, follow the unit matchups at this point while primarily building tanks and you'll come out with the win.

End

"It seems that I underestimated my opponent." Hawke goes to prepare for the final battle against GE, which he says will win. GE soldier tells Drake of the victory, but Drake won somehow, Drake says. Eagle sent his air force, but it seems he sent it too late. Drake is modest and Eagle gives him credit anyway. "Blow me down...We finally won."

Select the red star mission to reach the final battle of the Green Earth Campaign!

"Lord" Hawke has been informed that GE forces are coming towards BH factory. "Hawke." Sturm has arrived in person to talk to Hawke about his companions' defeats throughout Macro Land. "And here you are, cringing like a dog with a tail between its legs." Sturm orders Hawke to save the factory or he will know no peace and no forgiveness. Hawke can't do much but agree. Eagle and Jess order an attack onto the factory, even with the entire BH forces there. Kanbei arrives to aid GE. Nell arrives as well to help GE. "Blue Moon can't send soldiers, but their support is unwavering." With three countries' forces prepared to liberate Green Earth, it's time you start taking this seriously once again, as this is a ****** mission.

General Strategy

Choose Eagle, Max, and Sensei (or Kanbei), in that order. You can avoid fighting in the sea entirely and just focus on winning on the northern land front with Max and Eagle, and on taking the central-east island with Sensei.

With all three COs, build infantries over the first several days. On days that you can afford to purchase more units, have Eagle build battle copters (w/ one transport copter) and Max build tanks (and later anti-airs when Eagle's battle copters and bombers arrive). Have Max capture the six cities directly to the south and the two cities to the east of Max's base. With Eagle, capture all cities on Eagle's home island and the neutral properties to the north. With Kanbei, capture all four neutral cities. Meanwhile, have Sensei get two infantry to the southeast island. Delay the use of your missiles to target only the most expensive land and expensive air units (e.g. Neotanks, medium tanks, rockets, and bombers).

With Max, advance with your tanks, plus 1-4 anti-air units (adding more over time) against Hawke's battle copters, bombers, and fighters. Max should build from both bases for every single turn in the game. With Eagle, advance with battle copters and the predeployed tank and mech. Keep in mind the unit matchups, particularly against anti-air and aircraft, and watch out for the northern Black Cannon attacking any of Eagle's non-infantry units in range.

Meanwhile, with Sensei, build an artillery and drop it off to the southwest of the southeast mini-cannon and within range of the Black Cannon, which you'll use to destroy both the artillery and the southeast mini-cannon. Afterwards, send the lander back to the southeast island and transport two medium tanks over to take out Hawke's forces, particularly the mechs. Then use your lander to bring over infantry units to capture all those eastern properties. Sensei can build whatever direct land units at this point until advancing to the pipe to tackle Hawke's primarily mech army, with building one anti-air helpful for any air units that arrive.

After Max and Eagle have control of the bridges west of the northern Black Cannon island, have Eagle save money for one turn. Eagle will use that money to build a bomber from his newly captured neutral airport and destroy the northern Black Cannon so you can move units south of the Black Cannon too, not just north of it (and the north-facing mini-cannon covering part of that island). With Sensei, use the artillery to back up your medium tank as a second strike as you advance towards Hawke's base to take it.

As you take the northern Black Cannon, and you capture more properties, Hawke will have a lot of bombers, fighters, and battle copters. You should start building more anti-airs for Max and fighters for Eagle to win air supremacy. That will allow you to hold the northern Black Cannon island.

As you prepare to cross the bridges towards Hawke's factory, Hawke will try to capture the central island airports. Instead of those battle copters previously, have Eagle build a mix of mostly fighters and some bombers to maintain your new air supremacy. With Eagle, transport infantry to capture the next neutral airport to the east that's now free to take. Max should continue to build a mix of anti-air, tanks, and medium tanks. On the central-east island, Sensei should build medium tanks and artillery to maintain supremacy over the island chain as Sensei advances towards Hawke's remaining base in the northeast, with artillery units chipping away at units to allow your medium tanks to KO Hawke's units across the last bridge.

As Sensei moves towards taking Hawke's airport and base in the northeast, have Kanbei build a rocket to target the mini cannon from distance. Eagle should take out some of the northern mini-cannons and take fighter supremacy above the island south of the bridges in the advance. Once Max and Eagle are able to advance across the bridges (25+ days in), your focus should be on building fighters & bombers (Eagle), medium tanks/anti-air (Max), and rockets to target the factory builds and damage without destroying the pipeline seam (Sensei). Have Sensei build sub/bombers too.

Have Max take the base and airport just across the bridges so he can build the final units needed to destroy the pipeline seam. Destroy the pipeline with Sensei for the highest speed but lowest power, Eagle for medium speed and medium power, or Max for slowest speed and highest power.

End

You have won! Hawke no longer gives any orders but lets the ground lieutenant choose what to do. Black Hole forces leave. Hawke feels there's still a chance left as he is still alive. The factory is captured, and Eagle is unable to capture Hawke. The Green Earth COs talk, and Nell congrats the GE forces for the victory, but the three countries talk about taking Black Hole's own country in order to win the war that they've finally counterattacked to match Black Hole in. "We did it!"

End

You have now won the Green Earth Campaign. From here, you move on into Black Hole itself.

Mission Briefing:

"Attack the Black Hole citadel!" Here is the first mission you fight Sturm in. Don't spell Strum, please...unless you think it's funny, haha. Sturm is informed by his lieutenant Allied force movements into Black Hole itself. Flak and Adder argue over taking command, but Sturm insists on taking command himself. "You wretches report to the missile platform and assist Lash." They leave, and Sturm is very disappointed with their losses. "When this is finished, I will make...adjustments."

Max tells Sami that this is Sturm's citadel, and Sami says that they pillaged everything from allied countries and have them here. Jess agrees to that, and Andy argues to get back their money here. Nell thinks it got moved. Eagle and Olaf ask why, and Grit thinks the same as Nell. Kanbei comes and asks for a general assault to take out the cannons. Sonja says you must take out the 3 Black Cannons. They will run if you take them out. Sensei agrees, and then they'd find out if that was Sturm's HQ. "That's brilliant, Commander Sonja!" - Colin. Indirect fire is useful here, and using decoys, as well as what COs you use.

I suggest a combo of Andy, Grit, and Jess. OS gets 12 properties, while BM and GE get 10. Don't use YC.

"CO Select: The final conflict! Stop the enemy's missile from launching!" Sturm asks Lash how long it will take to build the missiles. Lash seems to have a weird mind and picks 3 or 40. Sturm demands it be done in 30 days. A Deathray is invented by Lash as well, which fires on enemy units every 7 days 5 damage on ALL allied troops in the path of the ray. The missile platform is spotted by Andy. "Look at what I've found!" "You...you're Sturm!" "And you're the little girl who likes playing with soldiers."

Sturm notices Sonja again and acknowledges to Nell that they will see their world destroyed by his missiles. Allied forces and Black Hole forces finally meet in the final battle, and Colin is informed of a giant laser blocking the platform. Jess says to weaken his defenses, attack the platform, and stop the launch. Note that you actually have a 30-day limit...

General Strategy

Choose Colin, Eagle, and then Max, to have Colin in the middle, Eagle in the west, and Max in the east. Make six infantry for each side to capture cities. Make bombers and fighters for everyone that will charge towards the Deathray after Day 14's Deathray attack. ONLY build those until the last day when you should build technique. Do not need to defend base, go for Deathray as Sturm isn't fast enough anyway. Eagle and Max should primarily defend their bases, but Colin's bombers should sweep for the Deathray by Day 19 and win.

End

An argument arises after the missile platform is inoperable, and Sturm says he will kill everyone there, including himself. Hawke betrays Sturm with Black Storm, and self-proclaims himself commander-in-chief of the Black Hole Army. Hawke wanted to test his power, it seems. Hawke doesn't really care about anything but to get himself something, but Eagle is furious at Hawke's invasion of Green Earth and refuses to let him go. Drake and Colin try to convince that the Allied forces are too weak right now to do anything.

The Black Hole forces under new commander Hawke retreats. Andy says that what've been done to Macro Land was unforgiveable but killing Sturm saved them. The Allied forces will have to be prepared again if Black Hole invades again. But for now, Andy asks for a party and you've won the war-ridden campaign! Max exclaims, "He can keep trying, but he will never beat us!" War World Paper: War is Over! Macro Land is free, but peace is fragile and can be broken again...and the staff credits roll. Good job!
