Tips
  • Focus on capturing neutral bases to increase your income and strategic advantage.
  • The Black Cannon can be outlasted by cheaper units initially, but direct assault with support units is key to destroying it.
  • Sami's CO power is crucial for rapid troop deployment and flanking maneuvers.
  • A balanced army composition, with a mix of infantry, artillery, mechs, and tanks, is essential for success.
  • Utilize APCs to protect vulnerable units and transport them quickly across the battlefield.
