AW1 Normal Campaign Mission 18 (Andy): Battle Mystery!

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

This is a unique level where you have to reveal the lander in the south most reef and destroy it. The easiest and fastest way to go about it is to land troops on the shores next to your base and reveal the lander with a land unit. At the same time, move your battleship south to provide fire support for your ground units and to blast the lander when it's revealed, and use your cruiser for vision support. The land enemies are two tanks, a recon, and two infantry. They may try to keep away from your distance ranges, but it shouldn't be a problem to smash them. Don't bother sending your subs and cruiser northeast along the sea passage, since the sub and battleship will come to you and will be easy to execute.

Walkthrough:

On day two, Drake will either move his recon into your battleship & rocket launcher attack range, or keep it away. If he moves it in your way, you will have to finish on day five. If he keeps it away, you can finish in four days. Either way is a perfect score.

Day one, load a recon and mid tank into the south lander, and a tank and rocket launcher in the east lander. Move your south lander to the west part of the south shore, dropping your recon east, mid tank south, and move your east lander three east to the shore, dropping the tank east, rocket launcher south. Dive your sub in the reef at its current position, dive your remaining sub north of your north cruiser, move your north cruiser two east, move your battleship one east four south, and move your remaining cruiser south of your battleship.

Day two, move your tank south along the road, your rocket launcher south along the road, your cruiser four south, one east, and your recon and mid tank south along the road. Attack the tank with your battleship.

Day three, attack the recon with your tank and move your rocket launcher south, move your battleship four south, your cruiser west of your battleship, and move your mid tank southeast along the road, and your recon west of your mid tank.

Day four, attack the infantry with your mid tank, move your recon seven east, then attack the lander with your rocket launcher and battleship.

If the recon moves in your tanks way on day two, follow this 5 day alternate ending, which is still a perfect score.

Day three, attack the recon with your tank and rocket launcher, the east infantry with your recon, and move your battleship south and mid tank southeast along the road.

Day four, attack the infantry with your tank, move your recon four east, and attack the lander with your battleship. Move your mid tank east.

Day five, attack the lander with your battleship.
