AW1 Normal Campaign Mission 17 (Sami): Wings of Victory!

Difficulty: ***
Days: 5-8
Technique Limit: 3
Briefing:

Sami's Wings of Victory is difficult mostly for the fog of war and unpredictable air units zipping around the map. Eagle has two fighters, two bombers, several anti-air units, and two bombers stationary in the northeast and southeast corners of the map, waiting to attack your hapless infantry coming to capture Eagle's base. Move your units north along the road to confront Eagle's units, using every air and anti-air unit you've got. You must neuter Eagle's CO attack before he can do any serious damage, and destroy three units in one day. You can take up to eight days, but you can also zip through the map in five.
Since Eagle's air units will react randomly as to whether to move into your attack range or not, it's difficult to write an effective walkthrough. The fog of war will complicate your vision range, and it will be tough to see what's going on ahead of you, such as the random movement of the bomber and tank.

Walkthrough:

This walkthrough is written under the conditions that both fighters will move into your attack range and the bomber will move west, not stay put.

Day one, move your fighters, bomber, copter, and anti-air north, load an infantry into your transport copter and move it six north one east, move your APC east, your missile launcher north, your recon one east two north, your rocket launcher north, your mid tank two east two north, and your tank one north two east.

Day two, move your copter one south five east, attack the west fighter with your anti-air unit from the west and fighter from the north, and attack the remaining fighter with your fighter from the east, move your bomber six east one north, your rocket launcher two east one north, your missile launcher southwest of your rocket launcher, your recon south along the road, your mid tank north, your APC south of your anti-air unit, and move your transport copter east.

Day three, attack the bomber with your missile launcher, use your CO power, attack the fighter with your healthy fighter from the east, and the east bomber with your remaining fighter from the east. Move your tank east of your missile launcher, your copter one north five east, your bomber six east, and your transport copter four east three south, dropping the infantry south.

On day four or five, you need to destroy at least 3 units. While the ground units will act erratically, you can almost always find enough to destroy on day five. There will be two tanks, an anti-air, the bomber, and the missile launcher. The tank may or may not come out and attack on day four. If it does, destroy it along with the two bombers for three kills. If it doesn't, get three kills on day five following the instructions. You may have to improvise.

Day four, move your copter northeast, attack the two bombers with your missile launcher and fighter, begin capturing the base, and move your remaining fighter and bomber south and southeast of your infantry.

Day five, attack the missile launcher with your bomber and copter, the tank with your rocket launcher and tank, and the anti-air unit with your mid tank and anti-air unit. Finish capturing.
