Special Condition(s): Fog of War

Overview: Hold off Greyfield’s forces for two days until Will enters the scene. Use a Will/Md Tank to mop up Greyfield’s forces while sending one loaded T-copter to Greyfield’s HQ. The high score strategy detailed below is fairly luck-intensive since Greyfield must follow specific movement, but it is possible.

The updated guide follows the same premise as its previous incarnation, except you are making your actions more carefully in order to manipulate Greyfield’s build order.

Day 1:

– Move northern Mech 2W.
– Move remaining Mech 1E 1S and begin capturing neutral city.
– Move western Infantry 3S and begin capturing neutral factory.
– Move remaining Infantry 3S.
– Move T-copter 4E 1N.
– Move B-copter 3E 3N.

Greyfield Day 1:

– Greyfield must move his units in such a way that he has a War Tank and two
Tanks around the fire.

Day 2:

– Finish capturing neutral properties.
– Load Infantry into T-copter, move T-copter 3E, and drop Infantry south.
– Move B-copter 3E 2N.
– Move War Tank 1E 1N.
– Move Artillery 1E.
– Move Tank 1N 1E.
– Move Anti-Air 1N 1E.

Greyfield Day 2:

– Your Mech must have 5 HP left.

Day 3:

– Save here. Simply move your units and find out if Greyfield built an
Anti-Air or Anti-Tank. If he built an Anti-Air, reload the save and continue
following the guide. If he built an Anti-Tank, restart the map. The HQ
capture is far more difficult if an Anti-Tank is built.

take any counterattack damage.

in the forests and ruin north of your position.

– Move T-copter 2S 3W and drop Mech north.
– Move Anti-Air 1E 2N.
– Move Artillery 1E.
– Move Mech 2W.
