Max needs to navigate through a sea of fog, where Drake’s navy lies in wait.
Mission Strategy
For all of the Green Earth maps, you will be able to choose between all three of the Orange Star COs. Each CO has an entirely different map. Unlike the original game, you do not need to do certain missions as certain COs to unlock Drake and Eagle. Both Green Earth COs are unlocked by beating the missions with any CO.
This is the first battle against Drake, the navy specialist. Not only are his sea units strong, they also have +1 movement range and +2 stars of defense. His CO Power does 1 damage to all enemies (but cannot kill) and removes half of their current fuel. All of his units also gain +10% defense during his CO Power.
This mission is very straightforward – it’s Max’s navy vs Drake’s. Max’s Cruisers can one-shot Drake’s Submarines and Max’s Submarines can cause huge damage to Drake’s Battleships. Where Max will struggle is using his Battleships to take out Drake’s Cruisers.
Despite your Battleships relative weakness, they are still very important to this mission. Keep them positioned well to take out the enemy Cruisers. Try to keep your Submarines hidden by doubling into Battleships when possible and keeping your Submarines away from the enemy when not attacking.
HQ Capture: You can bring along an Infantry in your Lander. This is a good backup in case you can’t deal with the enemy Cruisers quickly. Drake only has naval units, so don’t worry about land forces. You’ll need to take out his south Battleship as it is in range of Drake’s HQ.
Defeat All Enemies: This is the quicker option. Naval units are essentially Rock-Paper-Scissors. Cruisers > Submarines > Battleships > Cruisers. Use your units against their intended target and keep them away from their threat and you’ll win easily. You’ll need to take out Drake’s stationary south western Battleship.
