AW2 Classic Campaign – Mission 27: Sinking Feeling

Enemy Battleships are in for repairs! Can they be sunk before it happens?

Mission Strategy

The goal of this mission is to defeat all of Lash’s Battleships in less than 17 Days. If you do not destroy every Battleship before the end of Day 17, you lose.

All of her Battleships start without any ammo. They also start in an enclosed area and cannot escape. The best units to deal with them are Rockets, Artillery, and your own Battleships.

You’ll want to push through Lash’s ground forces, following the land. Keep your Rockets and Artillery on high health if possible. Also keep your Anti-Air in the back because you will need them in the end.

This mission also includes the Lab Map for Green Earth. It is located in the southmost City of the west island. Obtaining this map will unlock an extra mission that unlocks Neotanks for use by Green Earth.

Destroy the Nine Enemy Battleships: Take the Seaport early and build a Battleship. Position it south of the enemy Battleships and start taking them down while the rest of your forces make their way there. Also be sure to make a Lander and send an Infantry to secure the Lab Map.

Once you capture the south east Base, start producing Rockets. Make as many as you can and send them north. They will be your main damage dealers against the enemy Battleships.

For the Minicannons, don’t worry about taking a hit or two on your Medium Tanks. Once the Minicannons are destroyed, your tanks will have little to no use, so don’t worry about keeping them healthy.

You’ll want to position your Anti-Air north once the Minicannons are dealt with. Lash will send Battle Copters from that north Airport. If your Medium Tanks still have some health left, you can use them to bait her Copters into Anti-Air range.

After reviewing my completed guide, I think a Battleship built this turn and sent straight at the enemy Battleships might speed up the mission. It may also change the way Lash reacts though. I plan to come back and test this strategy myself, but I have a lot of other AW guides to finish first.

If you want to make Drake proud and take some chances, build a Battleship at your Seaport. If you want to take this mission on in true Jess fashion and guarantee eventual success, don’t build a Battleship.

Also pay attention to what enemies can be hit by only one unit and prioritize attacks on those.
