Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use Drake's varied sea units and his base.
  2. 2
    Capture the other base with an infantry unit.
  3. 3
    Leave the remaining tasks for Kanbei.
  4. 4
    Drake should focus on building battleships. His subs and cruisers are only useful for locating rockets.
  5. 5
    Eliminate the units surrounding the sea.
  6. 6
    Move south, hiding your units in reefs.
  7. 7
    Position units in reefs east of the last rocket.
  8. 8
    From the southernmost reefs, destroy the east Black Cannon.
  9. 9
    To safely destroy the Black Cannon, sail three or four battleships south of it and attack from that range.
Tips
  • Drake's battleships can be kept safe from enemy fire by positioning them three to four spaces south of the Black Cannon.
  • Battleships were observed to be completely safe, not taking any hits over two turns, when positioned correctly.
