Tips
  • As the Soviets, use Desolators, V4 Rocket Launchers, and Natasha to handle primary threats.
  • As the Allies, use Apollo Fighters to shoot down Century Bombers and Pacifier FAVs to engage both Infantry and Structures.
  • As the Imperials, send a Burst Drone to Giles' base, avoiding Apollo Fighters. Disguise a Transport as one of Giles' Prospectors. Load Yuriko, a Shinobi, and some Tankbusters into the Transport and sneak it along the east side of the map, avoiding Dogs. Unload the Transport in Giles' base and use Yuriko to destroy all Power Plants to neutralize Defences. Prioritize destroying the Armour Facility and Construction Yards. Use Shinobi and Warriors to fight off Paratroopers.
  • A strategy suggested by FlareBladeLord for the Allies involves building two barracks, producing around 30 Peacekeepers and 15 Javelin Soldiers, and advancing north to destroy two Power Plants and Defences. Continue reinforcing and progressing towards Giles' base.
  • To gain more money, build a Power Plant and sell the Construction Yard. For safety, send the Construction Yard to the northern waters, ensuring a Power Plant is established first. Use an Engineer to capture a Power Plant for additional income.
  • A strategy by VX4 suggests a Dojo rush, placing the Generator in the water, and destroying Giles' base, remembering the 4 Power Plants in the middle.
