    On Challenge Campaign, you start with an additional medium tank and two anti-air units.
  2. 2
    Adder's forces west of the river include an additional anti-air, two medium tanks, a recon unit, and a mech.

    East of the river, Adder replaces a medium tank with a rocket and adds two artillery units.
  4. 4
    In the southeast, Adder has one fewer mech and one fewer infantry, but two additional Neotanks.
  5. 5
    Your primary objective is to take out the laser cannons, which attack on every even turn. Use a rocket from range to damage them, and then use mechs to finish them off.
  6. 6

    Move your tanks eastward as far as possible without exposing most of your indirect units to first strike.

    Utilize your indirect units and the bridge to your advantage.
  11. 11
    Stay out of BH (Black Hole) indirect range.
  12. 12
    Use your tanks and Super Power to defeat Adder's forces when the opportunity arises.
  13. 13
    If your tanks become weakened, join them together to maintain their strength, as they are your main offensive weapon.
  14. 14
    Decimate Adder's forces at the bridge.
  15. 15
    After securing your cities, pull back some tanks to deal with the final Black Hole hold in the south-central part of the map.
  16. 16
    Simultaneously, use rapid-moving tanks to destroy Adder's rockets.
  17. 17
    Take out the laser cannons on days 4 and 8.
  18. 18
    Smash Adder's forces from the back, then advance through the map.
  19. 19
    Stop Black Hole from taking your final city on Day 12.
  20. 20
    Advance to the south to eliminate the remaining enemy units.
Tips
  • Speed is not your primary advantage in this mission.
  • Focus on destroying the laser cannons early, ideally by Day 4 and Day 8.
  • Use the bridge effectively to funnel enemy units.
  • Coordinate your tank movements to clear the bridge and then address the southern Black Hole stronghold.
