AW1 Normal Campaign Mission 13: Sami Marches On!

Difficulty: ***
Days: 5-7
Technique Limit: 3-4
Briefing:

You've got to capture cities again, but this time you've got Sami, the infantry specialist. She hasn't been very useful in the past few levels, but here's a chance for you to see what she's good at. Sonja only has a few units guarding the north and south islands, so it's ripe for your units to stomp over. Remember that Sami can capture cities in two turns even if her infantry and mechs are injured, since she has a 50% faster property capture rate. With some fast moves, Sami can take this map down in five days.
On the north island, Sonja has a tank and an artillery unit in the forest two northwest of the factory. On the south island, Sonja will be moving a tank in to attack you with. At sea, she has a sub, a cruiser, and a battleship stationary in the northeast corner of the waters that can reach most of the north island in attack range. Land a mid tank and infantry on the south island to deal with the tank and capture the cities, and land an infantry and APC the north island. Damage the north island tank with your rocket launcher, and move your APC up to expose the artillery and blast it with your battleship. After that, make it your top priority to attack the battleship with your sub, and to eliminate the artillery with your battleship. Keep capturing the cities with your troops. Remember to drop off infantry on the northwest shore of the north island; most players fail to notice that it's even there.
To get the power score, you must destroy three units in one day, which isn't very easy on this map. Try to keep an injured unit around for one day, if it means you can destroy all three on the next day.

This guide uses Sami

Day one, load your mid tank and mech into the south lander, load your remaining mech into the APC and move the APC and an infantry into the north lander. Move your south lander to the west part of the south island shore, dropping your mid tank east and your mech south, and move your north lander to the west part of the north island shore and drop the APC north, infantry east. Move your rocket launcher one east, your battleship south of your north island infantry, your cruiser southeast into the reef, and dive your sub north of your cruiser. Create two infantry. In order for you to finish the map in 5 days, the tank must damage your APC to 4 or 5HP, not 3HP. Save before finishing the day and keep retrying until you get it.

Day two, move your APC north of the forest that's northwest of the factory, and drop the mech east, then attack the artillery with your battleship. Attack the tank with your rocket launcher. Move your cruiser east of your battleship, and your sub one south four east. Move your north island infantry north and begin capturing the city, begin capturing the sea port with your south island mech, move your landers to the south and northwest of your rocket launcher, load the south lander with two infantry, move your remaining infantry north, and create an infantry in the east factory.

Day three, attack the artillery with your battleship, and the tank with your mid tank from the west. Move your sub onto the neutral sea port and your APC onto the factory. Finish capturing the sea port and cities, move your north island mech south and begin capturing the city, load your two infantry into your north lander then move your north lander to the northwest shore of the north island, dropping the infantry into the two forests, and move your south lander to the east part of the north island shore, dropping the two infantry off.

Day four, attack the north tank with your battleship, the sub with your cruiser, and the tank with your mid tank from the north. Attack the battleship with your sub from the north, and move your lander west of the battleship. Begin capturing the properties, using the damaged infantry to capture the north island factory and healthy infantry to capture the north island sea port.

Day five, finish capturing.
