Score achieved: 300 pts, 6 days
100-pt. time limit: 15 days
Player CO: Anyone but Grit, Colin, Kanbei or Sami
Enemy CO(s): Eagle
Skills: None
Mode: 2.5x EXP

Overview: This
map is completed by routing Eagle with 7 Recons. Manipulate his builds
so that he does not build anything larger than a Recon. Block up Eagle’s
bases with your Recons to prevent him from building additional units.
Eagle’s Infantry must also stay on a base while attacking your Recon
to stop his production.

The vital step
is to move the east Recon of the trio 1E only on Day 4. Doing so will
make Eagle build an Infantry, instead of a Tank.

Grit, Colin and
Sami cannot follow this guide because of low Recon attack. Kanbei cannot
follow this guide because of increased costs.

In this guide,
when I write 2 numbers in brackets (i.e. X-Y), X refers to how much
HP your unit must have, while Y refers to how much HP the enemy unit
must have.

For full Power,
don’t worry. You win by rout, so you’ve got full Power already.

For full Technique,
you can lose 1 unit. You will not be losing any.
