AW1 Normal Campaign Mission 22: Rivals!

Difficulty: **
Days: 11-19
Technique Limit: 1-3
Briefing:

This is an easy map where you'll be ruling the skies and kicking poor Eagle's butt. The key to winning the map is building fighters and a transport copter, and not bothering to build any ground troops. Depending on what Eagle ate for breakfast this morning, he will build his air units in either the airports near his base, or the air port in the middle of the map. As usual, you can expect Eagles units to behave randomly when moving into your attack ranges.
He will build bombers and fighters, so stay alert. You can take plenty of time on this map, as well. Eagle will have an APC on his base for approximately eight days, but he will move it eventually. The best way to jam up the air ports is by injuring one of Eagle's copters or bombers to 1hp, so they will sit on the air port until they're fully repaired. All you need to build are fighters and the transport copter. Since you have so few units, you will have to build more if you expect to lose more than one or two units for a perfect technique score. When triggering Eagle's CO attack, make sure he doesn't have any copters or fighters that can destroy your transport copter after being able to move again, or try not to leave him with any decent air units at all. He may build anti-air units once your fighters are on his land mass, so be careful. Whatever Eagle has near his base, he won't be fooled by your transport copter. He'll attack your infantry with whatever he's got. Near the end of the level, start building ground units so you can get off three kills in one day, or you can just try it with multiple fighters. You should have at least four by the time the map is over.

Walkthrough:

Due to Eagle's unit building randomness, it's almost impossible to write a reliable walkthrough. The map is like a War Room map in that both Eagle and Andy start out with basically nothing but factories and air ports, so the chance for random behavior is much higher. Build plentiful fighters and a transport copter. When a fighter is far away from your fighters, wait for it to approach you. Still a very easy map to complete successfully.
