Take to the skies and capture cities before Kanbei grounds your troops.
Mission Strategy
Similar to the previous two Kanbei missions, your opponent has messed up. This time, he has a Base, but it is located in a terrible position. With no Landers, only enemy Mechs and Infantry can leave that island, and even those need the help of his two Transport Copters. Indirect-fire units on that island can hit your forces, but for the most part, you can safely ignore every unit Kanbei builds.
This mission has an extra win condition. Capturing 15 properties will get you victory. Luckily, 15 properties exist outside of the enemy’s main island. You should prioritize these Cities and don’t even engage with Kanbei’s ground forces.
- Power Goal: 3
HQ Capture: Capturing the HQ is not really viable. You will need a Bomber or multiple Battle Copters to deal with the enemy Anti-Air defending the HQ. You can likely spam Transport Copters or drop multiple Mechs, but this strategy will almost certainly take longer than just capturing 15 properties.
Defeat All Enemies: Defeating all enemies is technically possible as well, but similar to HQ capture, just won’t be as efficient as capturing 15 properties. If you want to take this path, use your air units to body block the enemy Base by parking them on top of it.
15 Properties Captured: This is the most efficient and intended way to complete this mission. You will need to deal with the enemy air units and the enemy Tank on the central north island. You Battle Copter will work well for the Tank, but dropping a Mech or two with Transport Copters work as well (especially as Sami).
Keep your Fighter out of danger and let it get the first hit against the enemy Fighter and you will be in a comfortable position to rule the air. You should also create multiple Transport Copters to capture the properties faster.
