Difficulty: ***
Days: 6-7
Technique Limit: 3
Briefing:
In Olaf's Navy, you can either attempt to capture the base, or
eliminate all of Olaf's units. Olaf's units can be eliminated by Max
in six days, using some advanced techniques. Send your recons, tanks,
and mid tanks north to execute the three tanks and rocket launcher, and
use your mechs to destroy the tank coming across the bridge. With the
rest of your distance and sea units, pulverize Olaf's navy with
tactical sea maneuvers.
In this level, you are expected to exploit the AI's weakness of
combining units. Destroy a unit down to 2HP, and it almost always
joins with another injured unit. Another important tactic is drawing
the enemy sea units towards your lander, moving them into position to
be attacked by your distance units and sub. The trick is to move the
lander so that it avoids attack from the enemy subs for two days so
that the enemy subs come into exposed range of your distance units.
You must do the same with your sub and the enemy cruisers, carefully
positioning your sub so that a battleship finds it, but the cruisers
cannot attack. The AI will never search for your dived sub, so as long
as you keep it undetected for the rest of the level, the cruisers and
subs will not move to find it. If all that just flew over your head,
try for a seven day elimination or a much easier base capture instead.
If you eliminate all of Olaf's units, you will get Olaf in the final
battle and can challenge the Olaf's Sea Strike level next.
Walkthrough:
I have divided the walkthrough into your northern invasion team
instructions and your sea elimination team instructions. The northern
invasion team instructions are first, followed by the sea elimination
team instructions.
Using Max.
Day one, move your tanks and mid tank north, and your
two recons north and northeast along the road. Back at base, move your
mechs north, your rocket launcher two south two east, your APC four
east one north, your lander one south, your artillery south of your APC,
your battleship south, and dive your sub one south.
Day two, attack the tank with your tank. Surround that tank from
the north and west with your two recons, from the south with your tank,
and move your mid tank between your recon and tank. Back at base,
attack the northeast battleship with your sub, and the northwest
battleship with your battleship. Move your artillery two north one
east, your lander northeast of your artillery, your APC two north, and
your rocket launcher one east.
Day three, move your damaged tank one northwest, attack the tank
with your mid tank, and move your other tank east of your mid tank.
Back at base, attack the tank with your two mechs, attack the southeast
cruiser with your battleship, the north battleship with your artillery
and sub from the east, the center sub with your rocket launcher, and
move your lander south of your artillery.
Day four, use your CO power. Move one recon north of the forest,
then attack the rocket launcher with your mid tank from the west, the
damaged tank with your recon from the north, and the tank on the base
with your tank from the west. Back at base, attack the battleship with
your sub from the east, the northeast cruiser with your battleship, the
south sub with your rocket launcher, and the north sub with your
artillery.
Day five, destroy the tank with your tank. Back at base, destroy
the two subs with your rocket launcher and artillery, destroy the
damaged cruiser with your sub, and attack the remaining cruiser with
your battleship.
Day six, finish off the last cruiser.
