The final battle is at hand! Destroy the factory pipe!
Mission Strategy
This mission is the final battle for the Blue Moon territory. You goal for this mission is to destroy the Pipe Seam connected to the enemy Factory.
Just like in the Orange Star Factory mission, the enemy Factory will produce enemy units for free. The units produced are on a set schedule and will be the same every time. You can stop enemies from spawning from the factory by placing units on the three tiles in front of it.
You play two armies in this mission. The Blue Moon army starts the battle with two Bases but no units. The Orange Star army starts with a group of units (that favor direct combat) but no properties. There are multiple neutral Bases and Airports on this map that either army can capture.
Destroy the Pipe Seam: This is the only way to win this mission. The Pipe Seam has the same defense as a Neotank, so the best options for taking it down are Rockets, Medium Tanks, and Bombers. Since this map is full of Woods, Bombers are probably the best choice. However, you can also park a Rockets south of the Pipe Seam to reach it.
Your choice for CO of both armies will heavily impact the fight. Since Olaf’s CO Power effects his allies, Grit and Colin are the better options. Grit can spam Artillery and slowly push the enemy back. Colin can use his reduced cost to quickly capture an Airport and build a Bomber.
For Orange Star, since your starting forces are primarily direct-fire units, Max is the best choice. You can capture Cities and the west Airport and start producing Battle Copters, or even a Bomber.
The enemy units from the Factory will quickly become a big issue. The first round of three enemy Recon is easy enough, but from then on the forces that come out will be tough to deal with. If you rush your units to the Factory, you can actually block it off before the second wave spawns in. Move your units toward Blue Moon’s HQ on Day 1 to avoid getting slowed down by the Woods. Bring your Mech along in your APC to help block the Factory.
With the enemy Factory blocked, this mission will be much easier. Bring a Rockets or Bomber from Blue Moon and protect your units that are blocking. Use Blue Moon reinforcements to fill in as needed, but remember that Blue Moon goes first, so Orange Star won’t be able to move their units out of the way.
