Briefing:
This is the second of three survival maps in the campaign. Load
your units into the landers and escape around the north portion of the
waters. Unfortunately, you have two units too many, so two will have
to die, meaning you can't lose any more units in order to retain a
perfect technique score. Drake has four battleships, two cruisers,
three subs, two tanks, a mid tank, and a rocket launcher coming after
you, and two tanks stationary to the east and west of the northern
shore. When running for it, use the reefs to hide your sea units from
battleship range, and make sure to move farther north than east when
applicable, to stay away from any potential attacks. Move into the
reefs if they're available, even if you can't move as far as you'd like
to. When you reach the far shore, drop your units off to attack the
two tanks, and position your distance units to blast the subs as they
surface near you before time is up.
It is possible to not only stay your ground, but eliminate every
last one of Drake's units by day 8 with a perfect score. There's
nothing special if you win.. Nell just 'arrives' a bit earlier. The
first trick is that whenever the AI spots your sub after moving one of
it's units, it will retreat it's battleships. The second trick is that
the AI will surface its subs when chasing after one of your sea units
that it can't reach. Keep the battleships away with tactical
maneuvering and execute the cruisers and subs as soon as they arrive.
Send a tank and recon in one of the landers up to the northeast shore
and destroy the two tanks. The biggest reason why the elimination is
so difficult is that since Drake has a high sea unit defense, you will
often not be able to do as much damage as you need to in order to
destroy his units and keep your subs hidden. Without an emulator,
doing the right damage will take far longer than it's worth, and the AI
will behave very randomly due to your battleship and rocket launcher
attack ranges. Recommended for experts only. For the rest of you… run
for it!

north.
Day five, move your mid tank west along the road, your east
lander one south four east, your tank one northwest, your rocket
launcher southwest onto the city, your remaining lander southeast into
the reef, dive your east sub one south, move your battleship one north
three east, and dive your remaining sub north of your battleship.
Day six, destroy the sub with your rocket launcher and west sub
