Tips
  • Capturing the Allied base associated with the Tech Inhibitor provides a repair location for Twinblades near the front.
  • Before capturing the Science Facility, place Bunkers filled with Flak and Javelin Troopers at the northeast and northwest entrances (4 total) as a defense against all threats, as they do not require power.
  • Build two Airbases near the Science Facility (in addition to those on the island that held the Tech Inhibitor) to serve as a close rearm/repair point for Air units, as Allied Air power is a significant threat.
  • Use Vindicators to destroy turrets near the eastern edge of the map, opening a path for Twinblades or Vindicator groups to attack Giles' Air Bases, Armour Facilities, and Boot Camps. Be wary of Javelin Troopers and IFVs, and use Orbital Dump when possible.
  • Consider dropping Natasha and Tesla troopers into Giles' rear areas.
  • Natasha is effective against Warren's Aircraft Carriers; claim them for the Union instead of sinking them.
  • The Green team can produce Infantry and Bullfrogs, while the Reds can build Aircraft. The Green team should clear the central island while the Reds handle the north island. Once the Tech Inhibitor is destroyed, the Greens can build any unit except Natasha.
  • The Green team can also build Defenses to fend off Dolphins.
  • When taking the central island, send paratroopers to the western part, avoiding Anti-Air units.
  • Tesla Troopers can withstand significant damage from Javelin Soldiers and IFVs.
  • When Twinblades disable power on the southern two islands, Green forces can paradrop in to assist.
