Eagle has Max backed into a corner. He’ll have to muscle his way to victory.
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 mission is against Eagle, the air unit specialist. His air units all deal increased damage and use less fuel per day, keeping them in the air longer. His naval units are weak, but this weakness never matters in the maps you face Eagle in since he never has sea units.
Eagle’s CO Power is one of the strongest in the game, giving all of his non-troop units an additional turn. However, during this extra turn, his units deal less damage and take increased damage. These debuffs continue into his opponents next turn, since his CO Power is still considered active then.
This mission will be quick. Eagle will rush your position with almost all of his forces immediately. Only a few of his units hang back, but two of those units are Bombers. It’s a good idea to circle up in a defensive position to clear out Eagle’s Fighters that will be coming for your air units, and then push out north and east to clear Eagle’s ground forces.
- Technique Goal: 2 or fewer
Defeat All Enemies: Since you can’t reach Eagle’s HQ with an Infantry or Mech, HQ capture is not an option. That means the only way to win this mission is to wipe out all of Eagle’s forces.
Eagle does not have a large amount of units, but most of the units he does have are very impactful. Like always with Eagle, his Bombers and Fighters are the biggest threat.
Remember that even air units are blocked by units of the enemy army. You can use your ground forces to block Eagle’s Fighters from reaching your air units. You can also use air units to block Eagle’s Bombers, but this will be tougher as you have so few air units. Destroying the Bombers and Battle Copters immediately with your Fighters is probably the better option anyway.
Be aware of Eagle’s CO Power. If you take the obvious fights on Day 1, he will get it immediately. Remember that your turn after Eagle uses his CO Power is the best opportunity to go on the offensive. Not only are Eagle’s units weaker, but he will not gain any additional CO Power meter for the damage done.
