Briefing:
Sami makes her first appearance in this level, although the best
character to use is Max. Eagle is back again with a large air force
heading towards you, and you must bust him up and capture his base
using your transport copter. Thankfully, Max's power combined with the
generous amount of air and anti-air units makes the level a bit easier.
Since you can only lose three units, you need to take the level
steadily instead of rushing forward.
Eagle has one fighter, two bombers, and two copters coming after
you, and one fighter and copter stationary near his base. Eagle will
keep his air units away from your range of attack unless you hide your
anti-air units in forests, and provide bait in the form of APCs, and
transport copters. On day three, you must be able to destroy the two
bombers and the fighter in order to render his CO attack useless. From
day four onward, destroy the copter then stationary fighter, then
capture the base. There isn't any ground resistance besides a tank.
When Eagle's units stay away from your attack range, they are
reacting to your fighter, not any hidden units. The key to making sure
that all of Eagle's air units will come into your attack range is by
keeping your fighter away from the battle, up in the northwest corner.
In order to move your fighter far away enough, you can't use it to
attack the copter, so you need to use an anti-air unit and protect the
anti-air unit from bomber attack with your transport copters and
copters. After you've overcome that hurdle, bait the north bomber with
your APC, and the fighter and south bomber will come into your hidden
anti-air unit range, provided that your fighter is far away enough.
Sometimes you may get lucky and the AI will move their air units into
your fighters range anyway - but don't count on it reliably.
Walkthrough:
This guide uses Max
Day one, attack the west copter with your west anti-
air from the west, and the remaining copter with your two copters from
the north and east. Load your two infantry into your two transport
copters and move them north and east of your anti-air that just
attacked the copter. Load your mech into your APC and move it onto the
north bridge, move your mid tank southeast of your APC, your fighter
south of your mid tank, your missile launcher one east, your remaining
mech one north, your remaining anti-air southeast of the south bridge,
your tank north, and your artillery south of your tank.
Day two, move your APC northeast onto the east city and drop your
mech east. Move your copters west, your fighter northwest into the
corner, your north anti-air two north, and your transport copters west
and south of your APC. Move your mid tank southeast of your APC, and
attack the tank if it has moved forward. If not, move your tank four
east and your artillery west of your tank.
Day three, attack the north bomber with your fighter from the
east, the remaining bomber with your anti-air, and the fighter with
your missile launcher and remaining anti-air. If you did execute the
tank, move your APC east onto the bridge and drop the mech north, and
move your copters south of each transport copter.
If you didn't execute the tank, you must do it on this turn. If
it's right in your mid tanks face, blow it away then follow the normal
instructions. If it's past the west side of the bridge, spot it with
your tank and execute it with your mid tank. If it's past the east
side of the bridge, blockade it with your mid tank. Then move your APC
east onto the bridge and drop the mech north, move your transport
copters one west, move your copters south of each transport copter, and
move your artillery east of your east most transport copter. If your
tank is in the way of your artillery or copters, move the tank out of
the way.
Day four, destroy the copter with your fighter, move your APC
mech north, and move your two transport copters east.
Day five, use your CO power. Attack the fighter with your
fighter from the east, and move your transport copter east, dropping
the infantry north.
Day six, begin capturing.
Day seven, finish capturing.
