Overview: Similar to the 8-day strategy, but the capture can be sped up by 1 day as long as the Cruiser can OHKO the Sub. By sheer coincidence, Sami only has a total of 10 units built on Day 7, making a single kill sufficient for Power.

– Build a Black Boat at the east port and an Infantry at the east base.

Day 2:

– Load the Infantry onto the Black Boat. Move the Black Boat 7S.
– Save, and do not overwrite until Day 7.

Day 3:

– Move the Black Boat 7S.
– Build a Cruiser in the west port.

Sami Day 3:

– She must move the Tank east.

Day 4:

– Move the Cruiser 5S.
– Move the Black Boat 5S. Drop the Infantry S.

Sami Day 4:

– She must move the Artillery 1N of the northern port and not load it into her Lander/ move it onto her HQ.

Day 5:

– Move the Infantry 3S. Do not start capturing the base.
– Move the Black Boat 4S 2W.
– Move the Cruiser 6S.

Day 6:

– Move the Infantry 2S. Start capturing the HQ.
– Move the Cruiser 6S.
