Strategy:

When you start, your main goal is to capture key cities to expand your production and income. For the first two days, build infantry at both your bases. Send the infantry from the south base towards the city in the center of the map. The infantry from the north base should head for the city located west of the river.

After your initial infantry, continue building a mix of units. Focus on infantry, recons, anti-airs, and especially tanks. Your priority is to manage Lash's forces in the south while also working to either stop her production or capture the northern base.

The key location you need to capture is the city situated on that unique-looking island in the south-central part of the map. Once you control this city, you'll unlock the 'Neotanks!?' mission. Successfully completing this mission allows you to capture the Black Hole's lab, which is where you'll get the crucial intel needed to start building Neotanks yourself.
