AW2 Classic Campaign – Mission 14: Two-Week Test

The enemy bombards Colin! Can he hold on until reinforcements arrive?

Mission Strategy

This mission is a survival mission against a far superior force. Your goal is to last 15 Days. If you can make it to Day 15 without losing all of your units or letting the enemy capture your HQ, you win.

You will be playing as Colin. His units cost 20% less than normal, but all have 10% weaker attack than other COs. His CO Power increase his current funds by 50% and charges very quickly. His Super CO Power increase his units damage by 3.33% per 1000 funds you currently have.

You will be up against Lash. Lash’s units gain increased attack power based on their current defense. Be careful of her units that are on Cities and other defensive tiles.

You forces spawn with a great choke point. The best strategy is to hold Lash’s forces there. She will likely start to overwhelm you eventually, but holding the choke should be your top priority. Use Colin’s decreased costs to flood the choke point and don’t let the enemy through.

No matter how you approach this mission, you’ll want to activate Colin’s CO Power as soon as you get it (before building for that turn). It charges very quickly and will give you the money you need to create plenty of powerful units. Don’t bother with his Super CO Power.

Defensive Wall: The best way to aim for an S on this mission is to build a solid defensive wall and hold the choke point with indirect-fire units. Start by using your initial Infantry to hold the line while you build up a good group of Rockets and Artillery. Once you have a decent number, start reinforcing your front line with Tanks or Medium Tanks if you can afford them.

Don’t push out past the choke point; let Lash come to you. Be aware of her Rockets, as they will usually take up a position and chip away at your front line every turn. If you can, get a Rockets into the Woods on the south east side of your area to contest her Rockets.

Mech Spam: Another way to approach this mission is to just spam out units. The most cost effective unit to buy are Mechs. This will crowd your area enough to stall for 15 turns. The downside with this strategy is that you will likely lose many of your Mechs, hurting your Technique score.

Other than your first couple Infantry for capturing, just build as many Mechs as you can every turn at your five Bases. Prioritize moving your units that are on your Bases or destroying the enemy that are blocking them so that you can make as many Mechs as possible every turn. Don’t initiate fights against Medium Tanks, Neotanks, or Battle Copters unless they are already very low. Activate Colin’s CO Power as soon as you get it to keep the Mechs flowing.
