Lash and her army set up at the northern frontier! Can Colin reclaim the stolen territory?
Mission Strategy
You start in a much better position than Lash in this map. While there is an even number of properties on both sides of the map, if you rush to the central Airport, you will be able to capture it before Lash stops you. This Airport plus the central Base will allow you to quickly block off the west Bridge and stop Lash from crossing.
From that point, you’ll just have wittle down her forces as she makes them. Be careful of her north Airport, as she can make units there too. While this is unlikely since she will have so little income by that point, a Missile unit to the east of it will make quick work of anything created there. You can also cross the River with Mechs and Infantry to capture it, allowing you to focus only on her HQ Bases.
Defeat All Enemies: If you approach this map from a balanced perspective, you’ll likely end up defeating all of Lash’s forces before you reach her HQ. As described above, the central Airport and Base are the most important locations. The Base should be easy to secure, but the Airport is closer to Lash than you. Make an APC for your Infantry Day 1 or 2 and claim the central Airport first.
Use a strong direct-fire unit like a Medium Tank or Tank to block off Lash’s forces at her Bridge. Place some indirect-fire units behind that wall and pick off Lash’s units as they spawn.
If you are in a good position, consider stockpiling your cash to gain even more from Colin’s CO Power. You likely won’t need to use his Super CO Power in this mission, but it can give you that last push you need to overcome Lash’s increased defense at her Bases.
HQ Capture: It is possible to rush an HQ capture on this mission. While it is a good idea to still try to capture as many properties as possible to increase your income, don’t focus heavily on the central ground fight. Instead, use your Airport and Colin’s reduced cost to annihilate the enemy forces from the sky.
Capture the south Airport and use Colin’s reduced cost bonus to buy an early Bomber. Bombers will have very little to worry about on this map and can deal significant damage to their greatest threat, Anti-Airs.
Once you’ve made one Bomber and started clearing the threats, make a Transport Copter to quickly get your Infantry to the enemy HQ. From there, buy more Bombers to help support your HQ rush. Once your Transport Copter makes it there, use your Copter and Bombers to keep your Infantry safe, blocking enemies from attacking it if needed.
