General Strategy
Score achieved: 300 pts, 6 days
100-pt. time limit: 20 days
Player CO: Anyone except Grit, Sami, Jess, Max, Grimm. Lash is possible but
not recommended.
Enemy CO(s): Andy, Hawke
Skills: None
Mode: 2.5x EXP
Overview: Using 3 Tanks and a missile silo, manipulate Hawke to slow
down his unit production by attacking from his bases. Clear the units
around the base for an unhindered capture. For Andy, build a force of
Recons accompanied by Infantry and a Tank and storm his HQ.
There are 2 different strategies. The first strategy involves destroying
a 5HP Mech with a 6HP Tank, a normally impossible feat, but can be accomplished
with an early COP (2 stars), late but powerful COP (3 stars), inherent
attack boost, luck boost, healing, mass damage, or double turn. COs
who fulfill these conditions are: Adder, Andy, Drake, Eagle, Flak, Hawke,
Jugger, Nell, Olaf, Rachel, Sasha, Sensei, Sonja, Von Bolt. Lash is
possible but requires a lot of luck in order not to KO the Tank on Day
3.
The second strategy involves sacrificing a Recon to get your COP early.
Unfortunately, you will lose 3 units in the process. There is an ingenious
way around this: once you capture Andy’s HQ, you may use his factories
and airport. Use them to produce units for Technique. You will not have
enough money to build 28 in total, but here is another ingenious way
around it: join your Tanks at Hawke’s HQ. This funding boost will
be enough to allow you to build 28 units exactly.
For the second strategy, a lot of luck is needed for the Day 3 Tank-Recon
attack to end 10-5. You have been warned. Speaking of which, Rachel
cannot use this strategy because the Recon repair would eat up too many
of her funds.
Grit, Colin and Sami cannot follow this strategy because of reduced
direct attack. Jess, Max, Grimm, Kanbei, and Kindle cannot either because
of increased attack, which makes Hawke’s movements different. (And
increased costs, in Kanbei’s case.) Note that Colin, Kanbei and Kindle
have an alternative strategy.
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.
The west base refers to the base near Hawke’s HQ. The north and east
base refer to the bases near Andy’s HQ.
For full Power, you need to destroy 2 units in 1 day. Clearing the area
around Hawke’s HQ on Day 5 gives you that already.
For full Technique, if you use the first strategy, you can lose 2 units,
a Tank and a Recon. You can easily build 19 units due to the four bases
near your HQ. If you use the second strategy, you can lose 3 units,
a Tank, Recon and Artillery. You will have enough funds and bases to
produce 28 units, enough for full Technique.

Colin Strategy
Score achieved: 300 pts, 6 days
100-pt. time limit: 20 days
Player CO: Colin
Enemy CO(s): Andy, Hawke
Skills: None
Mode: 2.5x EXP
Overview: What Colin lacks in attack, he makes up for in spending power. He is able to build a Neotank on Day 2 for blitzing Hawke’s base. On Andy’s side, he can afford 2 Artillery on Day 5 for luring Andy’s Tanks away from the units protecting the capturing Infantry.
For full Power, you need to destroy 2 units in 1 day. Clearing the area around Hawke’s HQ gives you that already.
For full Technique, you can only lose 2 units. Losing only 1, an Artillery, is possible.

Kanbei Strategy
Score achieved: 300 pts, 6 days
100-pt. time limit: 20 days
Player CO: Kanbei
Enemy CO(s): Andy, Hawke
Skills: None
Mode: 2.5x EXP
Overview: Sacrifice Recons in order to charge up Kanbei’s SCOP. Even though the Recons may be heavily damaged, Kanbei’s SCOP grants them near-invulnerability. The SCOP also grants your capturing Infantry with absolute invulnerability-no
attack can damage them.
This strategy will require many reloads because the enemy Infantry on Day 2 must have 5HP after you attack them.
For full Power, you need to destroy 2 units in one day. Unconventionally, you can get this from Andy’s Infantry and Mech suiciding against your capturing Infantry.
For full Tecnhique, you can lose 2 units, but it is possible to lose just one.
Day 1:
Build Recons in the west and north bases.
Build an Infantry in the east base.
Day 2:
Hawke:
Save, then move the Recon 5S 1E and attack Hawke’s Infantry (10-5).
Build a Recon in the west base.
Andy:
Move the Infantry 3S.
Save, then move the Recon 2S 4E and attack Andy’s Infantry (10-5).
Build an Infantry in the north base.
Build a Recon in the east base.
Save.

Move the Recon 3S 2E and destroy the Infantry.
Build Recons in the north and east bases.
Save.
Andy Day 3:
His Tank must attack the Recon on the east base.
Day 4:
Hawke:
Move the south Infantry on Andy’s side 3S and fire the silo. The missile should be centred on the Tank on the road.
Save, then destroy the Infantry with the healthy Recon.
Move the other Recon 2N 1W.
Build a Tank in the west base.
Andy:
Move the Infantry 1E.
Move the 8HP Recon 4N 1E and destroy the Infantry.

He should attack your Recon from his bases with his Tanks.
Andy Day 4:
His Mech must attack your Recon on the HQ from the north.

If you have lost 2 units, build until you have 19 units.
Finish capturing Hawke’s and Andy’s HQs.
Kindle Strategy
Score achieved: 300 pts, 6 days
100-pt. time limit: 20 days
Player CO: Kindle
Enemy CO(s): Andy, Hawke
Skills: None
Mode: 2.5x EXP
Overview: Kindle’s Anti-Air gets such a large attack boost while it is on a property that it is capable of OHKOing Infantry and Mechs. Thus, for Hawke’s side, an Anti-Air is used in place of a Tank. In addition, only 1 AA and 1 Tank is needed to clear the area. For Andy’s side, the same strategy applies, except
that the builds are changed slightly because the AA build leaves you
with insufficient funds for a Recon and Infantry on Day 1.
For full Power, you need to destroy 2 units in 1 day. Picking off Infantry does that for you.
For full Technique, you can only lose 2 units. These are a Recon and an Artillery.
Day 1:
Build an Anti-Air in the west base.
Build Infantry in the north and east bases.
Day 2:
Hawke:
Move the Anti-Air 6S and destroy the Infantry on the south base.

Move the Tank 6S and attack the Tank (9-5).
Build an Infantry in the west base.

Build a Recon in the north base.
Build a Tank in the east base.
