Mission 27: Sinking Feeling

Your main goal here is to sink nine unfueled battleships. To do this effectively, you'll want to keep your initial predeployed forces alive. They'll serve as bait to lure Lash's aircraft into attacking them, which you can then counter.

Keep churning out aircraft from your production facilities. These will be crucial for dealing with Lash's air units and potentially attacking the battleships directly.

Build a lander and use it to capture properties on the northwest islands. Specifically, aim to capture the lab city, which is the southern one of the two cities on that side of the map.

On land, adopt a defensive formation. Place your medium tanks at the front to absorb initial assaults, with artillery and rockets positioned just behind them for support and protection.

Once the initial assault is dealt with, you'll need to flank and take out the remaining enemy forces.

Crucially, keep two A-Air units positioned at the top of the continental region. This is essential to prevent Lash's bombers from causing too much damage.

Capture Lash's bases. Once you have control of these, you can start building more indirect units.

From your newly captured bases and your port, build artillery and battleships. These indirect units will be key to taking down the unfueled battleships.
