Mission Caption
—————
“The Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel, has rolled through North Africa leading his
Afrika Corps, forcing the British army in Egypt to their last defensive line
before Cairo and the vital Suez canal. Through a valiant defense, the
British have stopped Rommel’s advance, buying time for a counterattack that
may change the momentum of the North African theater. But the Desert Fox,
ever cagey, has prepared a devastating minefield in advance of the British
forces, taunting them and their attempt to avert the unstoppable flood of
German forces.”

Secondary Objectives
——————–
– Destroy five artillery bunkers on the beach.
– Capture and hold the Italian oil refineries.

Walkthrough

This mission’s easy, so there’s no need to be concerned about time. Start by
deploying both trucks you start with, then build and deploy an Armor Division
HQ. Build and deploy a Motor Pool Truck, then build three Medium Tank
regiments from your Armor Division HQ. Finally, build and deploy an Ammo Depot
Truck.
Gather your three Medium Tank regiments and your Mechanized unit, then head for
the Italian oil refinery south-west of your base. Destroy everything near it
to take control of it, then retreat back into your green sphere of control to
regenerate your units and their health.
Next, head west along the northern beach and destroy all five guns along the
shore. Kill them carefully, one at a time, and retreat to your supply zone if
you take too much damage. Some Australian computer-controlled allies will land
on the beach eventually. They’ll start building their own base, then rush the
German base suicidally.
Make sure all of your units are fully healed, then approach the German base
from the north-east. There are mines, but the Australians tend to take care of
a lot of them. Even if they don’t, the damage caused by them isn’t enough to
worry about, as long as you’re somewhat careful with where you drive your
vehicles.
Your target is the German Corps HQ building, which shouldn’t be hard to destroy
even if you completely ignore the defenses in the area. If you choose to
destroy the defenses, you can always retreat back to a supply zone to minimize
the damage you take. Either way, once the HQ building is destroyed, you will
win the mission.

Mission Caption
—————
“With the seemingly invincible Japanese fleet now defeated in the Coral Sea and
at Midway, the momentum of the war in the Pacific has shifted to the
Americans. At last an offensive war can be waged. The airfield on the island
of Guadalcanal must be taken from the Japanese and converted to Allied use,
and the island itself must be secured against counterattack.”

Start by building an Artillery Brigade Truck and deploying it, then build the
rifle grenade upgrade frm that building. Attach the two infantry units you
started the game with to the Infantry Division HQ, then build and deploy a
second Infantry Division HQ. Build and deploy three more Ammo Depots, then
build eight units of Assault Infantry.
Take your ten units of infantry (split them into two teams) to the airfield
south-west of your base. Take out the defensive bunkers one at a time until
they are all destroyed, dealing with enemy infantry units when necessary. Make
sure you retreat back to your supply zone when you take too much damage, or
you’ll have to build more units.
Once every enemy around the airfield is defeated, you will gain control of it,
which gives you a supply zone in a radius around the airfield. Your next
objective is to destroy the HQ to the south, so the supply zone around the
airfield will be quite helpful to use on your damaged infantry units while
you’re attacking the southern base.
When you have enough experience points built up in the upper-left corner of
your screen, use the carpet bombing on the southern base. Start moving your
infantry groups to the south, but move slowly. There are tons of well-hidden
Japanese units in the trees, and a half dozen or so bunkers to take out. Heal
your units in the airfield’s supply radius when necessary, and keep making
progress towards the HQ to the south. Destroy it, and you’ll win the mission.

“With the Wehrmacht stopped at Moscow, Germany has now turned its eyes to the
oil-rich Caucasus. If the Germans succeed in their endeavor, their Blitzkrieg
will be able to continue unhindered by fuel concerns. In order to secure
their flank against counterattack, the Germans must first seize the city of
Stalingrad at any cost. Unknown to the Germans, the Russians are preparing a
trap. As the bloody fight in Stalingrad continues, large Russian tank forces
are moving into position to launch a surprise attack to encircle and destroy
the Germans.”
——————
Primary Objectives

Walkthrough
———–
Build and deploy an Infantry Division HQ, then attach your infantry units to
it. Attach your tank unit to the Armor Division HQ, then build and deploy a
Mechanized Division HQ. Build and deploy a Motor Pool Truck, then build and
deploy an Armor Division HQ. Build five more units of Medium Tanks, then build
and deploy two Ammo Depots to keep the tanks properly supplied. Finally, get
all three of the upgrades from the Motor Pool to make your tanks as strong as
they can be.
As you’ve likely noticed by now, you have a computer controlled ally in the
south-east. He’s probably assaulting South Stalingrad right now as well as
the town directly between the two of you. Take your six Medium Tank regiments
to that town and help him liberate it. Make sure you keep your tanks healed,
or you’ll have to waste a lot of time building new ones.
Once that town is taken, move on to the one in the middle of the map. Once
that one’s taken, head over to the north-west corner and take the third one.
Once you’ve taken control of all three (and kept control of them so that you
have control of all of them at the same time), your secondary objectives will
be complete, and you’ll see a message telling you that the German forces in
South Stalingrad have been severely weakened.
Take your tanks down there and help your computer buddy destroy what’s left in
the city to win the mission.

If you’ve been disappointed with how easy this game’s been for the last three
missions, you’re in for a pleasant (or not so pleasant, depending on how you
look at it) surprise during this mission.
You start with basically nothing in the way of units, but you do have a fairly
large base in the north-east that’s only lacking a few buildings. You have
three town areas in the middle of the map, the middle one being the only one
that’s in a very defendable condition. Which is good, since losing that center
town will also make you lose the mission.
Start by sending the two infantry units in the southern towns north to the
bottom entrance of Kursk (the center town). Have every unit in Kursk collect
near the entrance to the south, then go to your base in the north-east. Build
and deploy an Infantry Division HQ, then attach the units at the southern
entrance of Kursk to that new Division HQ. Don’t worry about the ones in the
town to the north.
Build and deploy a Mechanized Division HQ, then get the Heavy Tank upgrade from
the Motor Pool structure. (You’ll also want all of the other tank upgrades
from the Motor Pool.) Once you’ve got that, start building enough oil and ammo
capacity to fund six units of Heavy Tanks. (Each division of Heavy Tanks needs
twenty fuel and twenty ammo, so make sure you have at least a +120 ammo and a
+120 fuel availability.)
Once you have the six Heavy Tank divisions, send three to the town north of
Kursk, which you still hopefully have control of. Send the other three to the
bridge south of your base that leads to the two small cities above the southern
German base. When both units are close to the German bases, send them in at
the same time. The purpose is to run into the enemy bases and destroy the HQ
structures with complete and utter disregard to the safety of your tanks.
Trust me, this is the fastest possible way to beat this mission. If you try to
storm one of the two bases with a massive force, the other base will magically
somehow have about thirty armored divisions ready to attack Kursk. You’re MUCH
better off just diving in and blasting both of the HQ buildings at once. And
once you do, the mission is over, so you don’t really need those tank units
back anyway.

Mission Caption

“With Sicily in Allied hands, Italy has been invaded and has dropped out of the
war. The Germans have taken over the defense of Italy and, aided by the
rugged Italian terrain, have stalled the Allied advance, allowing the bulk of
the Wehrmacht’s troops to maintain the Eastern front. The Allies must take
the historic monastery of Monte Cassino to break the German defenses. In an
effort to outflank their enemies, the Allies have planned an amphibious
landing at Anzio to threaten the heart of Italy: Rome. Land at Anzio and
break out past Monte Cassino to take Rome.”

This mission is another large scale tank match. Start by building up your base
to full capacity, then building six divisions of Heavy Tanks. Make sure you
have all of the technology upgrades for them too, since they’re going to need
all the help they can get. I recommend not bothering with any airfields, since
they aren’t all that helpful for how much ammo/supplies they suck in.
Once you have the six Heavy Tank divisions and enough ammo/fuel depots to run
them, start picking away at the defenses guarding the exits of your base. The
computer-controlled ally you have will likely help you a great deal with that,
and it’s even more likely to help you a great deal later on in the mission.
Once you’ve broken out of your base, head to Rome at the top of the screen and
take control of it (if your computer friend hasn’t already done so). Next,
start making a supply chain that stretches all the way down to the entrance to
Anzio in the south-west. You should also build more buildings so you can get
three more Heavy Tank divisions.
All that’s left to do is blast the crap out of Anzio, and believe me, there
will be plenty of it to blast. Let your allied buddy send whatever it has in
there first, then send your stuff in wave after wave after wave until you
destroy the place. When you reach 1800 experience points in the upper-left of
your screen, use the Carpet Bombing special operation to blast a large section
of the base. It might take you a while, but eventually, you’ll wipe out the
pile of units in the town and win the mission.

If you’ve been despressed with what seemed like a total lack of difficulty in
this game, this mission should cheer you up. Or piss you off, whichever.
Start by moving your battleships and carrier to the souther-east and using them
to blast the defenses in the very corner of the beach down there. They won’t
be able to completely destroy the defenses though; you’ll have to land some
troops to do that.
If you recall your training missions, the battleships can deploy both marine
units and Corps HQ buildings. Send in a unit of marines from each of the three
battleships, but watch out for the little clusters of water mines near the
shore. Use the infantry to destroy the bunkers and AA guns, then land a Corps
HQ building and deploy it a little to the north.
Here’s where things get tricky. You need to build fast, and I mean FAST. Not
only are the Germans going to swarm you with crap in a matter of minutes, but
your allies will also be stealing all the damn land from around you. (Idiots
don’t even keep their structures close together to conserve space…)
Build yourself up to the point where you can build artillery tank units, then
crank out nine units of them as fast as possible. As soon as you get the first
three of them ready, send them north to the town with the objective marker in
it. The Germans will continuously try to take over that town, so park your
artillery tanks on the east side of the river and let them blast anything that
tries to exit the town into your base.
Once the next three units of artillery tanks are done, send them to the south
west part of your base, by the shoreline. German units will sneak in that way
sometimes, and I don’t just mean a few small units. Hopefully, your closest
ally will help you out a little down there as well. If not, then he’s most
likely sending a bunch of crap to that northern town, so either way he’ll be
helping you a great deal.
Send the final set of three artillery tank units to the north and make one
group of six units with the other three. If you don’t already have control of
the town, go take it right now. Once you have it, your ally should be able to
defend it for the most part. Blast any nearby German concentrations, let your
units resupply, and turn north to destroy the large base up there.
You’ll have to go in quick, short rushes. Blast a few units or structures,
then run back to the town to repair your stuff. Repeat the process until the
entire base and every German unit around it is destroyed. If the town gets
threatened by anything, immediately go help your allied guy defend it; can’t
afford to lose any of your artillery tank units. (Note: for whatever reason,
the secondary objective above the town rarely actually disappears when you
eliminate the Germans from around it. Dunno why… just ignore it for now.)
Now that you’ve cleared out that concentration of Germans, the next step is to
move a few of your ammo or oil depots up to the town. Deploy them in a row
moving towards the top of the screen so that your resupply zone stretches all
the way up there. Your next target is the north-western base (where the second
optional objective marker is located). If your ally in the south-west is doing
well, you should have no problem mowing through this base, although you might
need to retreat to your supply zone a few times.
If your ally in the south-west isn’t doing very well, or he’s been completely
eliminated, this mission is almost certainly going to degenerate into a horrid
stalemate of repeated tank clashes that result in nothing other than massive
amounts of destroyed German units. Either way, all you need to do to win the
mission is keep control of the three central cities. The one you already have
should be fairly easy to keep.
The one in the middle will be easy once you destroy the concentration to the
north. The third one should be extremely easy if your ally in the south-west
doesn’t already have control of it. One thing to be very careful of: the
concentration in the north-west part of the map will build airfields if you
don’t destroy it fast enough. If that happens, you can find yourself in a
world of hurt once he starts blasting your buildings. That’s why it’s very
important to get up there as fast as possible.

This mission is much, much easier than the two preceeding missions. Fight off
the units in front of your base at the start, then retreat your units into the
safety of your supply zone. Start building up your base to the point where you
can support nine units of artillery tanks, then build them and start moving
north. Clear out that town, then head south-west once you’ve taken it.
Don’t head south-west too fast, since there’s a fair amount of German
resistance guarding the water crossings. Hopefully your ally in the east is
still alive and kicking (he might even take the north-eastern town if he’s very
productive). If he is, then he’s probably streaming forces into the southern
town. If so, you can just move your artillery tanks to the west side of the
town and start picking away at it until you take it.
If your computer buddy hasn’t managed to take the north-eastern town, then he
probably isn’t doing much against the southern town. If that’s the case, you
should consider moving your base to the south so you can keep your artillery
tanks supplied easier. Either way, once you take all three towns, you’ll win
the mission, and unless you just aimlessly throw away your tanks, you shouldn’t
be able to lose this mission.

Oh wonderful, a times mission. It’s not as bad as you might think, though.
Use your starting forces to take out whatever you can, then start building up
your base until you can make artillery tank units. Make sure you get all of
the upgrades, then take your first six artillery tank units into the town above
your starting position. Blast everything in and around it, then let your tanks
heal. You should be building another three units of artillery tanks during
this time as well.
This “heavy paratroop support” you were told you’d be getting is, as expected,
quite useless. Take your nine artillery tank units to the west, then north
into the second town. Blast everything to take control of it, then let your
surviving units heal and replace any units that were completely destroyed.
The far northern town is much harder to take with only tanks. Luckily, you
also have the Carpet Bombing Special Operation. You can easily use it every
time it charges to blast the three main concentrations of mounted guns along
the southern and northern edges of the town. Pile up your artillery tanks in
front of the bridge, then cross when you’re ready. Clear out this town before
the timer runs out to win the mission.

“Allied intelligence was wrong. The bridges that were supposed to be lightly
defended and easily seized in Operation Market Garden were instead heavily
defended by German armored units. As the Allied offensive bogged down, the
Germans used the opportunity to plan a desperate winter counterattack through
the Ardenne Forest. Their hope is to capture Antwerp and split the Allied
armies. A victory here could crush the unprepared British and American
forces, who lack their usual air superiority due to bad winter weather. Such
a victory would leave the Russians isolated against a renewed German attack.
However, if the Allies can hold off the charge, the fuel-starved Germans will
easily fall.”

This mission is tricky if you don’t know what to do. As soon as the mission
starts, find your eastern Engineer unit and start building several more Anti
Aircraft guns in the northeast part of your base. You can’t afford to lose any
time, so immediately go to your northern infantry HQ and start building three
more infantry units. Use your western unit of Engineers to repair the infantry
HQs over there that will be getting bombed.
Once you’ve got four AA guns on the northeast part of your base, start building
a few more on the western side. Send at least four units of infantry to the
road north of your base, since some Germans will shortly be coming in through
there. Make sure at least two more of your units are protecting your western
infantry HQs, and send the remaining units to the eastern edge of the city to
draw attention away from the AA guns.
Once the first wave is defeated, use your engineers to repair any severely
damaged guns or HQs, then start cranking out defensive guns along the northern
parts of your town. Cycle through your infantry units and detach the fully
supplied ones so you can attach the damaged ones, then prepare for the next
assault.
The Germans will attack in mostly the same places. The key to victory is
keeping your AA guns intact as well as your infantry HQs. Once they start to
go, you’ll either have to cycle through your detached units really fast, or
you’ll just get killed. Keep your engineers alive to make repairs, and always
have them building something until you run out of money.
Which brings up another small problem. When you have negative supplies, and
you run out of money, detached units will start to take damage while they’re
idle. That’s not too much of a problem if you keep your HQs intact, but if one
or two of them get destroyed, you’ll be in a world of hurt. Make sure you use
your Lend Lease Special Operation as often as it charges; it’ll give you a few
seconds worth of money every time you use it.
When the final attack comes, hopefully you’ll still have a large amount of your
AA guns and artillery bunkers. Keep your surviving units to the south-west of
the town, since that’s where the lightest assault will come in. If your AA
guns and gun emplacements can stall the Tigers long enough, this mission will
be over. If they can’t, you’ll have to play the mission over again and try to
work a little faster and more efficiently.

While you’re building those, you’ll have to help your southern ally defend the town by the river to the west. Germans will pour over the river, and if you’re not there to help, they’ll likely roll right over your ally before you have the chance to do much about it. Once you have all of your artillery tanks and rocket trucks, form them into two groups and cross the river to take the town. It’ll be crawling with Germans, so be prepared for some fast hit and run tactics. Once you have the city, leave one group behind to protect it, then take the other group south to deal with the scattered German defenses. Once you’ve taken them down and healed your units, head to the south-east part of the map and destroy the base down there. Now’s where things can get ugly. If your northern ally has managed to beat the Germans back away from his base and down the map towards Berlin, you’re in good shape. If not, you’ll have to go help him; you can’t afford any Germans sneaking past him while you’re executing your next move. That move, of course, being the complete relocation of your base. Undeploy every single structure and send them down to the southern part of the mountains between the open fields to the east and Berlin to the west. Deploy them again on the eastern side of the mountains, and have both of your armored teams down there to block the mountain passage in case something comes through. Once you’ve redeployed, start edging your way west. Deploy oil depots or ammo depots closer and closer to South Berlin, and keep moving your units closer. There will be an insane amount of Germans, so if you can’t keep a supply ring around your units in the city, you won’t have a chance. Your allies should be helping you out quite a bit, so just keep picking away at the hoards of Germans until South Berlin is clear. Now you can either go around the mountains and approach North Berlin from above or you can just cross the river to the north. Either way, head in there and trash the place. As soon as you can take control of the city, the mission is over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 1.11) BATTLE OF IWO JIMA | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "As the European theater ground towards its inevitable close, the Americans made enormous headway in the Pacific. With island after island falling before their advance, attack on the Japanese home islands seems within their grasp. With the fall of Saipan, Tokyo is now within bomber range, but the Japanese have tenaciously denied air superiority with their interceptors on Iwo Jima. To enable aerial strikes against the Japanese Islands, the Japanese airbase on Iwo Jima must be taken." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Capture and hold the southwest Japanese airfield. - Capture and hold the middle Japanese airfield. - Capture and hold the northeast Japanese airfield. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Destroy all Japanese forces. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ USA - Schmidt’s Forces - Atomic Bomb - Economic Aid - Assembly Line - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Deploy a Corps HQ from one of your battleships right off the bat. Have it set up as close to the water as possible so that the enemy won’t automatically attack it. When it deploys, your visual radius will increas by a lot. Use your battleships to blast the infantry units next to the bunkers, then start pounding the bunkers one by one, finishing them off with your infantry. Start building your base as fast as you can. Get your Infantry Corps HQ out as soon as possible, and attach as many of your infantry units to it as you can. Make these units into a group and have them stand on the east side of your base, which is where you’re most likely to get attacked from first. Build the rest of your base as fast as possible, concentrating on getting the capacity to build nine units of Artillery Tanks. When you get the first three units built, start using hit and run tactics on the base to the west. It’s fairly small, and the earlier you destroy it, the less difficult it will be to destroy. Once more and more of your Artillery Tank units get built, use three of them to defend the west side of your base, then take the other six and form a group. Your first target should be the base to the east. You’ll have to use many, many hit and run trips to even put a dent in the amount of infantry units they have over there, so be prepared to use the retreat command a lot. Once you’ve wiped out that area, take your tanks north and work on destroying the forces around that airfield. When you take it, let your tanks sit there to heal. Once they’re done, head west to the next airfield. If you can manage to take it, that’s great, but there’s a large enemy base to the north that will most likely cause you trouble (specifically by retaking the eastern airfield as soon as you move away from it). Once you clear out the initial forces around the central airfield, you should concentrate on eliminating the northern base area. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to wipe out the remaining base around the western airfield. Don’t worry about losing the other two in the process, since you’ll be able to take them right back. Once you have complete control of the western airfield, send your spare three units of Artillery Tanks over there to defend it, then retake the central airfield. Once you have control of it, leave half of your tanks there to defend it, then take the third airfield with the other half. Once you control the three airfields, the mission is over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 1.12) INVASION OF OKINAWA | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "Iwo Jima is in American hands. Japanese airspace is now dominated by endless American bomber runs. Nevertheless, an amphibious invasion will be necessary to ensure final victory. Every island closer to Japan has proven harder to take, with fiercer resistance and more brutal fighting. Now, the invasion of the Home Islands must begin, with an assault on Okinawa. The battle is guaranteed to be the most difficult yet." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Capture and hold Shuri. - Capture and hold Hagushi. - Capture and hold Taira. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - None. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ USA - Buckner’s Forces - Atomic Bomb - Economic Aid - Assembly Line - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- And to think, this game was supposed to be praised for its historical accuracy. I’d like to see the fine folks at Atari explain why there’re FOUR Yamato class battleships around the island, considering only two of them were ever in active service during the war, and one of those two was destroyed months before the landing at Okinawa. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of air power they gave the Japanese... but anyway, accurate or not, you’re going to have to fight all of it if you want to complete the campaign. Start off by using your battleships and carriers to blast the two battleships to your left. You should note that aircraft carriers can send two bombing attacks at the same time when they’re fully charged; that’ll be very useful later when you’re destroying enemy bases with them. Similarly, it’ll help you take care of these battleships a lot faster. Once they’re dealt with, send everything east to the northern part of the island. Have one of your battleships land a Corps HQ on the northern-most part of the shore, and have the other two (along with your carriers) blast the third battleship near the island. You need to start doing two things immediately after that. I) Build your base, build it compact, and build it FAST. You’ll have maybe three minutes before the first attack, and that’s if you’ve already been moving fast. Get a couple ammo/oil depots, then an Infantry HQ and an Engineer Brigade. Get five units of Engineers, then start cranking out artillery bunkers along the south-eastern edge of your tiny base area. Be very careful not to move too far to the east or too far to the north, or you’ll spark the first attack even earlier. II) Use one of your carriers to scout the water on the other side of the island. There’s a Japanese carrier over there, and it will absolutely destroy you if you don’t take care of it fast. Once you have it in your sites, send all four of your bombing waves over there, and if it survives, keep sending more. By now you’ve probably got five or more tank divisions attacking your base. Hopefully, your artillery bunkers will hold up, especially if you’ve got your Engineers fixing them the entire time. You should make each of your battleship units into a team. That makes it very easy to select each one and use them to blast units on the shore, which will be very important to your survival for the first part of the mission. Once you’ve got your defensive line held up solidly and the enemy carrier is destroyed, you need to shift your attention to destroying the closest enemy base, which is just on the other side of the mountains near you. The best way to do this is with your carriers, but it’s going to be expensive and time consuming. Make sure you keep your defensive guns repaired the entire time, and if any units charge your base, have your fingers on the hotkeys to send battleship shells down on them. Target the enemy’s Armor HQs first, then go for the Corps HQ. When things start to thin out a little, you should start to build up your base a little more. Get your mechanized building, your artillery building, your motor pool, more depots, and so forth, building them all to the north, not to the south or east. Once you’ve got three units of Artillery Tanks (and their upgrades), you can start using them to help finish the base on the other side of the mountain. The Japanese will not like this, so be prepared to deal with absolutely ridiculous amounts of units. Use everything you can to deal with them, including the battleships, the carriers, the artillery tanks, and even the engineers if necessary. If you stop this rush, you’ll be in good shape. Start building even more stuff on the north side of the mountain, and eventually stretch your supply line all the way around the top of the mountains to meet the front of your base, where the defensive guns are sitting. Once you’ve gotten yourself in this possition, it’s just a matter of using the classic hit and run tactics to destroy the enemy bit by bit. Don’t EVER get too confident in your forces though, even if you manage to build nine units of artillery tanks. Every single part of the island will be crowded with insane hoards of units that will easily destroy you if you attack too fast or in the wrong spot. Work your way down the island, taking the far eastern city first. Stretch your supply line westward, using a second Corps HQ from your battleships if you have to. Don’t take your eyes off of anything you think you’ve secured throughout the battle; the enemy can use paratroops, and they will quite easily take your cities back and destroy undefended buildings if they get the chance. The rest of the mission is basically just a matter of how well you can handle your forces. I’ll just give you a few pointers to remember, and you should be able to dominate the island eventually (even if it takes you five hours, like it did my first time...). I) Don’t forget about your carriers. They can cause severe amounts of damage, so always make sure you have them striking a target of some form or another. II) Definitely don’t forget to use your Atomic Bomb special operation. It can destroy huge amounts of forces, and it’ll weaken buildings by a significant amount. When possible, follow up an atomic bomb with all of your bomber strikes to eliminate as many structures as possible. III) Watch out for enemy planes. Even after you destroy the carrier, the enemy will build airfields to cause problems. Don’t fall asleep on the job and let your base get leveled. IV) Don’t get over confident. Even when you think you’re doing great and nothing can stop you, don’t be surprised to run into twenty armored units every now and then. Never attack outside of your supply zones, and if you lose any units of your tanks, replace them as fast as possible. V) Even though you don’t need to destroy the far southern base to win the mission, it’s almost a necessity to prevent overwhelming hoards from blocking the last target city. Just don’t forget about your atomic bombs and carriers; those two weapons alone can pretty much level that base. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | 2.00) WALKTHROUGH - AXIS CAMPAIGN | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.01) AIRDROP ON CRETE | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "Greece has fallen, and control of the Adriatic is almost entirely within German hands. All that remains are the retreating British forces on the island of Crete. Despite concerns throughout the German military leadership that paratroopers will be ineffective at seizing control of the island, you must succeed. Take the British airfields and ports to allow your reinforcements to be flown and shipped in. Make sure no British soldiers escape, and complete the mission with the precision and speed of the Blitzkrieg." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Capture and hold Maleme Airfield. - Capture and hold Retimo Airfield. - Capture and hold the port of Sfakia. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Capture and hold the port of Suda. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Kesselring’s Forces - Blitzkrieg - Supply Drop - Military Gear Up - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Start by retreating your infantry units to a safe place, then construct an Artillery Brigade building on your little piece of land to the north. Once you have that, land three units of heavy infantry next to your other three. Don’t worry about the battleship in the water - it will destroy your planes, but only after they’ve dumped their cargo. Once you have all six units of infantry on the island, use your Supply Drop special operation to heal the damaged ones. Once they’re healed, destroy the nearby bunkers, infantry units, and anti-aircraft guns to take control of the airfield. A Corps HQ truck will land shortly, so be ready to build your base as fast as possible. You’ll be attacked by infantry fairly constantly from the east, so have your infantry units ready to defend. You’ll want to build up to the point where you can construct and supply six units of Artillery Halftracks. Once you have them, start the slow trek to the east, crushing everything in your path. When you take the next zone, you can use it to resupply. After that, make sure you have the capacity to stretch your supply zone from here all the way to the north-east airfield. You shouldn’t have any trouble taking the north-east airfield, but be very careful once you have it - the enemy will sneak up the side of the screen and take it back if you’re not paying attention. The last area will not be easy to take. By now, you might’ve noticed that your base is getting bombed quite horribly. Crank out Engineers and start repairing the damage, and also crank out Anti-Aircraft Guns. If you don’t have more Artillery Halftracks sitting around for defense against ground forces, you should build some. Or, if you don’t want to do that, you should build a ton of gun emplacements. Either way, be ready to defend your base from air and ground assaults. When you’re ready, you should start using hit and run tactics against the final zone. Try to take out the airfields first if possible, then target the Mechanized Vehicles HQs. Don’t forget about your V Weapons special operation. It can cause a great deal of damage, and it works amazingly well for destroying large concentrations of enemy vehicles. Remember - as long as you still control the other two airfields, all you have to is take the southern town to win the mission. You don’t need to destroy all of the enemy buildings or units, and you don’t need to have control of the central town to the north. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.02) BATTLE OF EL ALAMEIN | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "German victories in Greece and Crete have forced the Allies out of the Mediterranean, cutting their North African forces off from easy resupply and easy reinforcement. Erwin Rommel, the star of the German armored divisions, promises that he will be able to smash through the last British defenses at El Alamein, opening up Cairo and the Suez Canal to German control." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Clear the railroad of British blockades. - Find and capture the British oil depots. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - None. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Rommel’s Forces - Blitzkrieg - Panzer Hohle - Forced March - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- This mission should be less frustrating than the previous one. Start by building your base up so you can get a pair of Armor HQ Trucks built and deployed. You’ll also want to detach a couple of your infantry units, then use your Infantry HQ to build a pair of Engineer units. Your base is going to be bombed relentlessly, so you’ll want to have the Engineers to build AA guns and repair your structures. Once you’ve managed to construct five more units of Medium Tanks, group them along with the original unit and head east along the railroad tracks. You’ll encounter light resistance for the first blockade, but the scond two are worse. You’ll want to extend your supply route to the east to keep your units from taking too much damage. The area to the east of El Alamein is probably the worse. There’s a large concentration of enemies over there, although the good news is that their radio is up there as well. Make sure you don’t lose any buildings to the constant aircraft attacks. Other than that, just mow through the map with your six units of Medium Tanks, and stop whenever you need some energy. Once you’ve cleared the railroad, turn to the south and head for the British oil derrick. It should only have some infantry around it, so it shouldn’t take you much effort to seize it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.03) BATTLE OF SUEZ CANAL | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "Having broken British resolve at El Alamein, Rommel’s Afrika Korps is racing towards the Suez Canal. Control of the Canal means control of the vast oil resources of the Middle East. At last the critical shortage of fuel can be brought to an end, enabling greater advances into Russia. Take and cross the Suez Canal at all costs." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Protect the caravan as it crosses the Suez Canal. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - The caravan’s Corps HQ Truck must survive. - The caravan’s Mech HQ Truck must survive. - The caravan’s Armor HQ Truck must survive. - The caravan’s Oil Depot HQ Truck must survive. - The caravan’s Ammo Depot HQ Truck must survive. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Afrika Korps - Blitzkrieg - Panzer Hohle - Forced March - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- The five convoy trucks will sit in your base for a few minutes, then they’ll head north to the city with complete disregard for what might be waiting to destroy them there. Your job is to clear out the city before the convoy trucks move in. Once they move there, they’ll wait for a few more minutes, then they’ll head south-east to the next city, and the pattern will continue. Start by building an Artillery building and an Armor HQ. Use the three units you started the mission with to go into the town and do as much damage as they can, but don’t let them get killed. Once the Armor HQ and Artillery buildings are ready, crank out Artillery Tank units as fast as you can (you should be able to get three out before the convoy moves the first time). Take the Artillery Tanks and the other armored unit you started with and form a group. Head into the city and destroy everything. By now, the convoy has likely entered the city. Let your tanks heal, then head south-east to the next city. Leave your two infantry units with the convoy; sometimes some enemy infantry will sneak into the town and cause problems. By now you should have plenty of money to make a fourth unit of Artillery Tanks to add to your group, so do so. Also build the Artillery upgrade from the Artillery building. Build a Motor Pool and get the armor and speed upgrades, since they’ll be quite valuable later. Once all five of your armored units are together, start assaulting the west side of the next city. Work your way over the top of it while you head east. There’s a unit of medium tanks over there, so be ready to blast them. Two gun emplacements are to the south-east of the medium tanks. Once you destroy them and the infantry units around them, you should get control of the city. Finish off any surviving units and buildings, then let your tanks heal. Things are going to get ugly in the third town. You should head up there as soon as possible to wipe out the enemy forces and take the town, but be aware that enemy aircraft will bomb the crap out of your tanks once you enter the city. Try to avoid as much damage as possible to keep your tanks healthy. When the convoy catches up to you, head north along the water. You’ll have to deal with some infantry, and when you get to the crossing, there will be tons of British forces waiting to hose you. Use your Blitzkrieg special operation on your tanks, then target the British tanks. After the tanks, target the next biggest threats, which will be the heavy infantry units and the gun emplacements. The enemy planes are likely bombing your convoy right now, but there isn’t much you can do about it... just continue blasting your way along the top edge of the last enemy base. The convoy just has to make its way north, cross the river where you did, and exit the screen at the top. Once that happens, you will win the mission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.04) BATTLE OF STALINGRAD | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "With the Middle East now part of the ever-expanding German empire, the German offensive in Russia now has a chance to link up with German forces advancing through the Middle East. Rommel’s Afrika Korps is advancing North. Capture Stalingrad and send forces to meet Rommel." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Capture Stalingrad. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Destroy all of Zhukov’s forces. - Destroy all of Chuikov’s forces. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Manstein’s Forces - V Weapons - Propaganda War - Espionage - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Build up your base until you can support two Armor HQs and three airfields. Build two Heavy Tank units to support your other units in the defense of your base, then save your money to use bomber strikes. Zhukov’s Corps HQ is in the northern corner of the map, and Chuikov’s is in the north-east corner. It’ll take five bomber strikes to kill each of them, so once you have enough money, launch your attacks. Once you’ve destroyed both of their Corps HQs, target any Oil Depots and Ammo Depots you can see. When supply goes into the red, the balance is taken from your money - if you can manage to get them really far into the red, they’ll run out of money entirely. Target their Armor HQs next as well as any other HQ buildings you can see. Unattached units will constantly take damage when they aren’t properly supplied, so you’ll notice a lot of the enemy’s units will explode on their own. Once you’ve bombed both Soviet generals into oblivion, start building more Heavy tanks and upgrades. Take control of the north-western city, then launch an attack on what’s left of Zhukov’s base in the north. When he’s completely destroyed, take your tanks back down to your base, make sure they’re healed, and cross the river to assault the town north of your base. Use your planes to destroy anything Chuikov still has at his base, then use the tanks to finish him off. The only thing defending Stalingrad should be a large number of very weak infantry units. Move into the city and destroy them all. When you have control of both sections, the mission will be over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.05) INVASION OF AUSTRALIA | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "The American fleet lies at the bottom of the sea near Pearl Harbor, and the Pacific is ripe for conquest. The Japanese have conquered New Guniea, and are prepared to use it as the staging ground for a massive invasion of Australia. Such a victory will leave the Allies without a staging ground in the South Pacific." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Destroy all Australian forces. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - None. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Japan - Yamamoto’s Forces - Kamikaze - Demoralization - Radar Scan - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Once again, you’ll want airpower to dominate this mission. First things first, build an Infantry HQ and a Mechanized HQ on your little island, and make sure you cram them in there so you can still fit an Oil Depot on there. After that, start cranking out Anti-Aircraft batteries, since wave after suicidal wave of enemy aircraft will attack your base shortly. Move your carriers and battleships around your island and have them wait right next to the coast of Australia right across from your island. Shell any anti-aircraft batteries that you can see, then launch a scout towards the other side of the city. There’s an airfield over there, so once you find it, destroy it with your carriers’ bombers. Next, you’ll want to take care of the other two airfields. One’s in the town in the south-east, and the other is in an opening near the middle of the bottom part of the map. Scout for both of them, then destroy them. Destroy the Corps HQs next, then start blasting any other buildings you can see. When you’ve destroyed just about everything you can find using your bombers, land several units of infantry and take the closest town. Deploy a Corps HQ once you have the town and start building up your base until you can build Artillery Tank units. Get a few of those ready, then search the map for surviving Australian forces. Don’t hesitate to use your scout planes and bombers to blast any large clusters of enemy buildings or units. Once everything that isn’t yours is destroyed, you’ll win the mission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.06) BATTLE OF KURSK | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "The protracted, bloody siege of Stalingrad has come to an end, and the devastated city is now in German hands. With the world’s two richest oilfields now controlled by Germany, endlessly supplied panzer divisions roll towards Kurks, prepared to smash the last of the Russian armored forces." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Destroy 3 Russian Armor HQs. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - None. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Manstein’s Forces - V Weapons - Propaganda War - Espionage - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Group all of your forces into a pile, then head north and attack the forces in the closest city. You should be able to severely damage them or even destroy them, but if you start to get too damaged, retreat into your base to heal. Use your Engineers to construct five or six anti-aircraft batteries along the top-right edge of your base. Bombers will try to attack from that direction, and if you don’t have enough firepower to destroy them before they reach your base, you won’t stand a chance of winning this mission. Once you have a secure defense against the bombers, start building up your base until you can build two groups of four Heavy Tank units. Get all of the upgrades for them, then head north and take the two closest cities if you don’t already have them. You’ll need to destroy three Armor HQs to win the mission. The first one is easy - it’s almost completely undefended in the lower-left corner of the map. Simply take your tanks over there and destroy everything you can find. The second one is in the top-left area of the city on the other side of the river. That city is heavily defended. You’ll want to make several fast swipes into the city to destroy buildings and enemy tanks, then retreat to heal your tanks. By now, your ally in the north might have destroyed the Armor HQ south-west of his base. If so, you can just suicidally rush the one you’re after right now. If not, keep making raids until you can safely destroy the one you’re after, then use the city to heal your tanks. Lend your ally a hand once your units are repaired. Once that third Armor HQ is destroyed, this simple mission is over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | 2.07) DEFENSE OF NORMANDY | | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "The once mighty Red Army is no longer a threat to Germany. Knowing that the Allies must open a second fron to save Russia from sure defeat, the German military has anticipated a massive landing on the coast of France. Rommel’s forces have raced across Europe to provide important support for this crucial battle. Repel the Allied assault and assure control of Europe." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Hold at least 2 major cities for 30 minutes. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Hold Montbourg. - Hold St. Mere Eglise. - Hold Carentan. - Hold Bayeux. - Hold Caen. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Rundstedt’s Forces - V Weapons - Demoralization - Armored Resupply - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Your ally in the west can’t be counted on to hold any of the cities over there, so you basically MUST hold the fifth and sixth cities yourself (Bayeux and Caen, one on each side of your base). It won’t be easy, especially since at some points during the mission, there will seriously be so many enemy planes flying over your base that you won’t be able to see very well. Start by building another Infantry HQ, then an Engineer building, then three units of Engineers. While you’re waiting for that stuff to build, select your other Infantry HQ and use the command all feature to move all five of your existing infantry units to the city of Caen east of your base. Hopefully, the enemy won’t attack Caen at all, but if they do, you’ll want a backup that can at least stall them for a minute or two. Once you start getting Engineer units ready, you need to crank out a ridiculous number of anti-aircraft batteries and gun emplacements across the top of your base. Ten or so anti-aircraft batteries should be sufficient (at least for the beginning), and you’ll want a solid wall of gun emplacements stretching all the way from the water near Caen to the water near Bayeux. Most importantly, you will definitely want as many gun emplacements as you can possibly line up along the water crossing that leads to Bayeux. If they’re close enough to the city, the enemy will have to destroy them before they can take the city. Once your absurd base defense is ready, you can carefully start building other buildings. Get a Mechanized HQ and an Armor HQ, then a Motor Pool and an Artillery building. When you can afford it, start building four or more units of Heavy Tanks, then get the upgrades. Sit the tanks right on the Bayeux side of your western gun emplacements. You absolutely can’t afford to lose Bayeux, so make absolutely sure those tanks are always kept supplied. Now all you can really do is sit back and take the ridiculous beating that the Allies will proceed to throw at you. Countless aircraft will be destroyed by your anti-aircraft guns, and the debris from them will damage some of your buildings. Make sure you have your Engineers handy to repair any damage as fast as possible. Keep an eye on Caen at all times, too. If it looks like it might be attacked, split up your tanks to cover both cities. Build more if you have to - by now you’ve probably noticed that Rommel, your ally to the west, is not going to hold much ground on his own. If you have spare time, money, and supplies, use them to construct even more anti-aircraft batteries. You can never have too many of them, especially near the end of the mission. Manage to hold Caen and Bayeux until the timer runs out, and you’ll win the mission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.08) OPERATION SEALION | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "The D-Day landing was a disaster for the Allies. Their forces in Britain are decimated. Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain, can now commence in earnest. Using landing craft captured at Normandy, under cover of massive Luftwaffe bombardment, the Germans have already begun their advance. The battle of London has begun." ------------------ Primary Objectives
------------------ - Capture London. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Sink all British warships in the English Channel. - Destroy 4 RAF Airfields. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Rundstedt’s Forces - V Weapons - Demoralization - Armored Resupply - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- First, use your lower-left airfield to scout to the north-west and destroy the enemy airfield there. Use your other airfields to destroy the closest anti-aircraft batteries. Meanwhile, you should construct an Infantry HQ and an Engineer building, then pump out four units of Engineers. Construct a wall of anti-aircraft batteries along the shore of your island, and continue using your bombers to destroy anti-aircraft guns while you’re doing it. There are three more enemy airfields on the map, so use your scout planes to track them down. When you find one, send a bunch of bombers to destroy it immediately. The enemy planes will devastate you if you don’t stop them early, and destroying four airfields also allows Rommel’s forces to land in the corner in the top-left. The earlier he can land, the more help he’ll be. Once the airfield objective is complete, focus on eliminating the two battleships in the lower-left, which you’ve likely already noticed. When you sink them both, two of your own will appear. Landing on the shore is basically suicidal, so instead, park these near the shore of your island to use as more anti-aircraft power. Build a fourth airfield, then start relentlessly bombing any and all targets you can find. Anti-aircraft batteries should obviously take first priority, then Corps HQs, depots, and Armor HQs. If you’re fast (and if Rommel lands fairly early and does well), you can literally destroy both of the large Allied generals using only your bombers. If you don’t want to take that approach, make absolutely sure you’ve destroyed the vast majority of the enemy forces on the island, then land a Corps HQ to start making tanks. Take both halves of London, and you’ll win the mission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.09) INVASION OF INDIA | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "London has fallen. German troops are pouring into the British Isles. Aside from partisan resistance, the heard of the British Empire is dead. Japan marches on Burma to begin an invasion of India and set the sun on the British Empire." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Destroy all British forces. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - None. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Japan - Nagumo’s Forces - Kamikaze - Industrial Sabotage - Code Breaker - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Don’t deploy your base in the area where you start. Instead, head north and cross the first part of water, then deploy your buildings there. Note that the river to your left can be crossed, allowing instant access to Calcutta. Park your tanks and infantry here to defend against enemy attacks, then start building your base. (When you get Infantry and Armor HQs, don’t forget to attach the unattached units.) You’ll want to line the bottom of your area with anti-aircraft guns as soon as possible to defend against the onslaught of enemy bombers that’ll attack your base from the south. Don’t bother building up your base to support a large amount of vehicles - just build three airfields. When you have at least four bomber strikes available, use a scout on the small island in the south, where Colombo is. When the scout finds the airfield on the top of the island, send the bombers down to destroy it. Directly west of that island is an enemy base. Repeatedly send your bombers down there, destroying the Corps HQ first, then the ammo and fuel depots. Blast any remaining buildings, then concentrate on scouting around the other two citites to find any remaining enemy buildings. Tracking down every enemy unit with aircraft is a pain in the ass, so instead, build a few more units of Artillery Tanks when you’re ready. Send them around the map to deal with anything left near the cities, and when you’ve cleared the main part of the map, send your bombers down to Colombo to deal with anything still alive down there. Once every enemy unit is destroyed, you’ll win the mission. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.10) THE BURNING OF MOSCOW | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "With the Red Army in tatters and supplies desperately short, Russian morale is at an all time low and forces are surrendering in droves. Stalin has realized that the fall of Moscow will in the complete collapse of Communist control over the masses, and has staked a final defensive line, comprised of the last remnants of the Red Army and irregular conscripts from the general population. Vistory here will mean the end of Russia. The German European forces, supported by advance Japanese units from the newly-conquered India, are prepared to strike the final blow." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Capture Moscow before Japan. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Destroy all of Zhukov’s forces. - Destroy all of Chuikov’s forces. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Germany - Manstein’s Forces - V Weapons - Propaganda War - Espionage - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Thankfully, enemy aircraft won’t be an issue in this mission, although your Japanese "ally" will sometimes start bombing you. Your first objective should be building two Armor HQs, then building six units of King Tiger tanks to defend your base (and later, destroy the enemy’s bases). Make sure you get all of the upgrades for the tanks, too, and then build three airfields. You should build Mechanized HQs to fill any extra building vacancies you have. Each one improves your money making rate, and you’ll be needing a lot of money to fund your bombers. First, you’ll want to eliminate the enemy base in the lower-right corner. The town between your base and the enemy should be lightly defended, so you should be able to take your Tigers down there and grab the town with little effort. Don’t go south of the river until you’ve done some serious damage with your bombers, though. There’s a massive concentration of enemy units down there that will make short work of your Tigers if you’re not careful. Find the enemy’s Corps HQ first, then take down anti-aircraft batteries. You should be used to this procedure by now... >_> Destroy the ammo and oil depots next, and then the other HQs. Fend off any angry units that try to pass through the town, and then send your tanks in to finish off anything that managed to avoid your bombers. When you’ve cleared that entire lower area, send your tanks back to the top of your base. Things are about to get very complicated - check on your "ally" in the north-east corner. If he’s doing exceptionally well, you’re in trouble. If he manages to take Moscow before you do, you’ll fail the mission. It might seem like a cheap thing to do, but if he’s in danger of taking the town, take your bombers up there and blow the crap out of him. Hey, he’s not above doing it to you, so why not repay the favor, eh? If he’s not doing well, then just let him sit there and absorb the Soviets’ attention. Pack and redeploy some of your ammo depots, fuel depots, and/or Armor/Infantry/Mechanized HQs along the west side of the map in a chain. The purpose is to extend your supply zone as far north along the west side of the map as possible. There’s a side entrance to the second enemy base way up at the top of the screen, and you’ll want a supply zone nearby so you can make a bunch of hit and run raids. When you have your supply zone extended and your tanks are in possition, send your bombers up to deal with any Corps HQs you can find. You should probably send them up there a few more times, too. Blast his depots and a few of his unit HQs, then send your tanks in the west entrance of his base. Destroy as many buildings as you can, and if he starts to send units at you, destroy them. If you take to much damage, retreat to your supply zone to repair your tanks. You should be able to continue this process for the rest of the mission until the enemy’s forces are depleted and Moscow is yours. Make sure you continue to use your bombers, and make sure you don’t let the Japanese guy take the city. If you have to, destroy him completely with your bombers. >_> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.11) ASSAULT ON MIDWAY | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "Japanese intelligence divisions realized that the Americans are in possession of their codes, and using this knowledge, tricked the Americans into an ambush. Now the last of the American fleet is sunk, and the invasion of Midway has begun. Success will open the way to the eventually invasion of Hawaii and domination of the Pacific." ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Capture and hold the American airbase on Sand Island. - Capture and hold the American airbase on Eastern Island. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Destroy both American carriers. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Japan - Yamamoto’s Forces - Kamikaze - Demoralization - Radar Scan - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Send all four of your boats east to the smaller island. Use your battleships to destroy some of the anti-aircraft guns on the island, and use your carrier bombers to destroy some of the others. When all of the anti-aircraft guns are destroyed, focus on the bunkers. When it’s relatively safe, land some infantry units and take over the rest of the island. Wipe every American item off of the island, and you should have control of the airfield. Taking this airfield prompts two more battleships to appear in the top-right corner of the map, so send them to join your other two battleships. Land a Corps HQ on the small island and start building a base. Your main objective is to be able to support three airfields on the island. When you have those, it’s just a matter of using them (and your carriers) to completely level the larger island. Use your battleships to destroy the anti-aircraft guns on the south-eastern side of the island, then use your bombers to demolish any other anti-aircraft guns on the island. When there’s nothing left shooting at your planes, destroy the Corps HQ, then destroy the rest of the enemy’s buildings. When the area around the airfield is clear, you can just land some infantry units underneath it. If you can surround the airfield with them and take it, the mission will be over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 2.12) INVASION OF HAWAII | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Mission Caption --------------- "Australia, India, Siberia, China, are now part of the Greater East Asia Coprosperity Sphere and protected by the Japanese Empire. However, until the United States is finally and utterly neutralized as a naval power, the Japanese Empire will not be safe. Securing Pearl Harbor will ensure the isolation of the Americas and the everlasting strength of the Empire!" ------------------ Primary Objectives ------------------ - Capture and hold Nanakuli. - Capture and hold Wahiawa. - Capture and hold Honolulu. - Sink all American ships. -------------------- Secondary Objectives -------------------- - Contact your spy on the north end of Oahu. ------------------ Special Operations ------------------ Japan - Nagumo’s Forces - Kamikaze - Industrial Sabotage - Code Breaker - Corps Reorganization ----------- Walkthrough ----------- Select the battleship that’s closest to the shore and deploy an infantry unit from it. Land the unit on the northern edge of the shore, then order it to RETREAT around the top part of the mountain range. When it gets to the other side, it’ll contact the spy you have there, and one of the two battleships in the southern part of the map will be instantly destroyed. I’m telling you to order the unit to retreat because if you just tell them to move, they’ll stop to attack the nearby anti-aircraft guns, and enemy bombers might slaugher them before they actually make it to the other side of the mountains. Move all five of your ships south-east to the other side of the island. The airfield and Corps HQ you can see near there should be your first priority, but don’t launch your airstrikes until your carriers have stopped at the shore and your battleships have had a chance to blast a few anti-aircraft guns. Once the Corps HQ and Airfield are out of the way, focus on the other buildings you can see. Land a Corps HQ, deploy it, and immediately start building an Infantry HQ. After that, build an Engineer building, then build at least three units of Engineers. There are likely several enemy ground units in the area that’ll try to attack your base, so either use the Engineers to fend them off or blast them with your battleships. Continue building your base, and concentrate on making a wall of Anti-Aircraft guns along the western edge. Speaking of aircraft - send all of your carrier bombers to destroy the airfield in the southern part of the map. I say send them all because you’ll want to be absolutely sure to destroy it, and there’s a lot of anti-aircraft crap down there. Continue developing your base, but try to keep some money saved up to use your carrier bombers several more times. There’s an airfield near the central town that you’ll want to destroy, and there’s an enemy aircraft carrier in the small inclave of water in the south (along with a pair of battleships, one above the carrier and one south-east of it). Once you’ve destroyed the carrier and all of the airfields, this mission just degenerates in to the same type of battle as a lot of the others. Just continuously destroy any Corps HQs you can find with your aircraft, and make sure you don’t let the enemy build any airfields. Blast their buildings when you’re not blasting Corps HQs or airfields, then work your way around the island with some Artillery Tanks when there’s hardly anything left of the enemy bases. Take all three cities at the same time, and the mission will be over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 3.00) SPECIAL OPERATIONS | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- What are special operations? ---------------------------- - Special operations are the abilities in the upper-left corner of the display that charge as you gain experience. Each general has slightly different special operations. ------------------ How do I use them? ------------------ - As each mission progresses, you slowly earn experience points, which are shown in the very top-left corner of the display. Each special ability requires a certain amount of experience points for you to use it. Also, every special ability has a five minute timer that must click down between uses, so even if you have enough points to use a special ability five times in a row, you must wait five minutes between each use of the same ability. When you want to use one, simply click on the desired operation’s icon in the upper-left corner, then select a target. ------------------------------ What does it cost to use them? ------------------------------ - It won’t cost you any money. All it costs you is experience points, and since the only use of experience points is for special operations, there’s no reason not to use them. There’s no limit to how many experience points you can earn in a single mission, although there is a limit to how many you can have at any given time. If you reach that limit, all of the experience you could be earning is just going to waste. Therefore, you might as well make sure you always use special operations when you get the chance, especially if you’re getting close to the maximum number of experience points. ---------------- What do they do? ---------------- - All sorts of things. Some are defensive, some are offensive, some will earn money, some will spy on the enemy, and so forth. Each one has a description on the in-game display, and I’ve listed them all in the following section. The format is as follows: =============================================================================== ------------------------- Name of Special Operation In-game description of the operation (same ------------------------- description is in the instruction manual). [Affects are listed here.] [Affects are listed here.] [Cost (in experience points) is here.] [Size of affected area is here.] - My own description of the operation is here, along with any other comments or information I have about the operation. =============================================================================== ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | 3.01) SPECIAL OPERATIONS - USA | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== ------------- Assembly Line Summons Material Parts. ------------- Requisitions parts to increase the health of your vehicles.

It can also be used to shatter large formations of enemy units if absolutely necessary. =============================================================================== -------------- Carpet Bombing Sends a wave of long range bombers to -------------- carpet bomb an area under enemy control. 400 Damage +1200 Extra Damage vs Buildings Cost: 1800 Experience Points Area: Large - Three bombers will swoop down out of nowhere and blast the crap out of whatever’s in the way. There’s a reason it costs so much experience to use - it’s insanely powerful. The bombers cannot be shot down, and they can destroy a lot of buildings instantly (including airfields). - Note that this attack is executed almost instantly, so it can be used to severely damage or destroy large formations of enemy units if necessary. =============================================================================== -------------------- Summons Corps HQ Truck.

If you’re in the middle of a large battle and have plenty of experience points banked, you might as well use this, especially if you think you’re in danger of losing any units. =============================================================================== ---------- Lend Lease Summons Lend Lease. ---------- Provides a small amount of money. Cost: 400 Experience Points - When they say it provides a small amount of money, they aren’t kidding. The amount is too small to be useful compared to a lot of the more expensive operations, so this really shouldn’t be used unless you’re desperate for some reason. (One note-worthy case: the Battle of the Bulge mission, where you are pressed for cash the whole time, and neither of your other operations can really help anyway.) =============================================================================== ------------------ Mechanized Advance for 120 seconds. Mechanized Advance Grants speed, attack, and defense ------------------ bonuses to the targeted halftracks. +10 Extra Damage +5 to Defense Value +20% to Maximum Speed Immune to Fear Cost: 1000 Experience Points Area: Large - The important thing to note about this is that artillery tanks count as halftracks, so using this operation on Artillery Tank divisions can be quite beneficial.

If you want to use it, you should note that you can only use it when your original one has been destroyed. =============================================================================== ---------------- Double the Guard Double the Guard Bonus for 120 seconds. ---------------- Targeted buildings are granted an attack bonus. +15 to Attack Value Cost: 400 Experience Points Area: Large - Since buildings have such a low attack value, this is only really helpful if you desperately need to save a building, and you have nothing else to use. =============================================================================== ---------- Summons Medium Tank Regiment. Maskirovka Deploys a regiment of Maskirovka ---------- tanks to confuse and demoralize the enemy. Cost: 500 Experience Points - A unit of medium tanks will just appear wherever you target this operation. The down side is that the unit cannot be attached to your HQs, so it will not be able to be resupplied. =============================================================================== ---------------- Summons Infantry Supplies.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
The units are the most important part of the game, obviously. In the following
sections, I’ll give information about every unit in the game. Depending on the
unit, more information may be available compared to other units. To help
understand what the information in the charts means, you should be familiar
with some of the game’s terms and mechanics.
Money: Money is gained on a per-minute basis. Shortages in other resources
result in a reduction in money income. For example, a +15 Money rate
means you will earn fifteen money units every minute.
Ammo: Units require an ammo supply. Several structures provide ammo,
specifically Ammo Depots. If your ammo level goes negative, the balance
is taken from your money rate.
Oil: Vehicles require an oil supply. Several structures provide oil,
specifically Oil Depots. If your oil level goes negative, the balance is
is taken from your money rate.
Building Limit: This is the current number of buildings you have followed by
the total number you’re allowed to have. For example, 3/20
means you currently have three out of twenty possible
buildings.
Regiment Limit: This is the current number of regiments you have followed by
the total number you’re allowed to have. For example, 2/9
means that you currently have two regiments out of a current
maximum of nine regiments.
Defense Value: Damage from enemy attacks is reduced by defense value. Defense
applies before resistances.
Upkeep: Units and buildings require (or provide) resources. If they require
resources, it’s considered upkeep. Building Limit, Regiment Limit,
Money, Ammo, and Oil are all possible forms of upkeep.
Production: Many buildings add resources to your current supplies. Building
Limit, Regiment Limit, Money, Ammo, and Oil can all be generated
through various buildings.
Attributes: Many units and structures have special abilities, attacks, or
defensive qualities that add to their regular strengths or
weaknesses. A list of these can be found in the Attributes
section of this guide.
Bullet Damage: Represented by a handgun icon in the game and BD in this guide.
Shell Damage: Represented by two shell icons in the game and SD in this guide.
Explosive Damage: Represented by a bomb icon in the game and ED in this guide.
Flame Damage: Represented by a flame icon in the game and FD in this guide.
Resistances: Resistances are special qualities that some units and structures
have naturally or can gain through various means to increase
their defense against certain forms of damage.

While these can be more effective than Anti-Aircraft Batteries, you should keep in mind that they are easier to destroy and reduce your available Regiment Limit. An Engineer Brigade structure is required before you can recruit these units. ******************************************************************************* =========================== Anti-Aircraft Tank Regiment =========================== Price: 225 Upkeep: 20 Ammo, 15 Oil, 1 Regiment Limit Speed: Medium Morale: 100 Attributes: Vehicles Unit Composition: M4A2 Sherman (x1): Health: 400 Speed: Medium Defense: 5 Attack: 75mm Gun 65 Shell Damage Rate: Slow Area: Small M3A1 Stuart (x3): Health: 300 Speed: Medium Defense: 4 Attack: 37mm Gun 50 Shell Damage Rate: Slow Area: Small M16 MGMC (x2): Health: 200 Speed: Very Fast Defense: 3 Attack: 37mm M15 30 Bullet Damage [Air] Rate: Fast - These can be more effective than an Anti-Aircraft Battery if they’re handled properly.

The Hellcats can cause severe damage, but the rest of the regiment is a little too weak to be very effective. These are probably something you might want to use early on in a mission, but you’ll want to replace them with heavier units when you get the chance. A Motor Pool structure is required before you can recruit these units. ******************************************************************************* =========================== Anti-Tank Infantry Regiment =========================== Price: 70 Speed: Slow Upkeep: 15 Ammo, 1 Regiment Limit Morale: 45 Attributes: Infantry Unit Composition: Infantry Officer (x1): Health: 200 Speed: Medium Defense: 1 Attack: Thompson Submachine Gun Grenade 12 Bullet Damage 20 Explosive Damage Rate: Fast Rate: Very Slow Area: Very Small Infantry (x4) Health: 200 Speed: Slow Defense: 1 Attack: M1 Garand Rifle Grenade 12 Bullet Damage 20 Explosive Damage Rate: Medium Rate: Very Slow Area: Very Small Machine Gun Infantry (x2): Health: 150 Speed: Slow Defense: 1 Attack: Browing M1919 Machine Gun 12 Bullet Damage Rate: Fast Area: Small Anti-Tank Infantry (x2): Health: 150 Speed: Slow Defense: 1 Attack: Bazooka 55 Shell Damage AT Hit for 1 seconds Paralyze Rate: Very Slow - A Motor Pool structure is required before these can be recruited.

They are probably the most effective armored unit (generally speaking) for the United States. The artillery lets you slaughter infantry, and the tank/artillery combination does fairly well against armored targets as well. ******************************************************************************* ========================= Assault Infantry Regiment ========================= Price: 60 Speed: Slow Upkeep: 15 Ammo, 1 Regiment Limit Morale: 45 Attributes: Infantry Unit Composition: Infantry Officer (x1): Health: 200 Speed: Medium Defense: 1 Attack: Thompson Submachine Gun Grenade 12 Bullet Damage 20 Explosive Damage Rate: Fast Rate: Very Slow Area: Very Small Assault Infantry (x6) Health: 225 Speed: Slow Defense: 1 Attack: M1 Garand Rifle Grenade M7 Rifle Grenade 12 Bullet Damage 20 Explosive Damage 30 Explosive Damage Rate: Medium Rate: Very Slow Rate: Very Slow Area: Very Small Machine Gun Infantry (x2): Health: 150 Speed: Slow Defense: 1 Attack: Browing M1919 Machine Gun 12 Bullet Damage Rate: Fast Area: Small - The M7 Rifle Grenade technology from the Artillery Brigade structure is required before these can be recruited. These are highly effective against infantry and other soft targets. They aren’t too bad against hard targets, either. ******************************************************************************* ===================== B-17E Flying Fortress ===================== Health: 300 Speed: Very Fast Defense: 0 Attack: AN-M18 Bomb #1 AN-M18 Bomb #2 80 Explosive Damage 80 Explosive Damage 0.5 Morale Lost 0.5 Morale Lost Rate: Slow Rate: Slow Area: Large Area: Large Bombard Bombard AN-M18 Bomb #3 AN-M18 Bomb #4 80 Explosive Damage 80 Explosive Damage 0.5 Morale Lost 0.5 Morale Lost Rate: Slow Rate: Slow Area: Large Area: Large Bombard Bombard - These are the bombers used by your airfields and aircraft carriers.
