As the Allies: Build Apollo Fighters for defense only. Focus on Hydrofoils, Assault Destroyers, and Aircraft Carriers. Use the Blackout Missile on Wave-Force cannons and production structures. For defense, use Pacifier FAVs, Athena Cannons, and Apollo Fighters. Use Vindicators as spotters for Aircraft Carriers.
As the Imperials: Use the Chopper-VX/Tengu combo.

Strategy by ArabianSharkCT (Imperial Focus):

Attack Shinzo first, as he will defend but not retaliate until Kenji is dealt with.
Set up a tight cluster of Reactors around your Construction Yard for defense.
Build four Defender-VX towers on the upper edge of the ramp leading to your base, with a Wave-Force Tower between each pair, and an additional Defender-VX behind each of the first four.
Keep initial Defender-VX towers in Defender mode, switching to Air Destroyer mode when Chopper-VXs appear. The rear towers should be in anti-air mode from the start.
Build an additional Defender-VX on each corner of your central building cluster, potentially another on the westernmost corner, all in anti-air mode.
Construct and upgrade your Mecha Bay at the back of your base.
Build a large mixed force of Chopper-VXs and Jet Tengus.
Send them along the map edge to the upper left corner.
Once they arrive, send Jet Tengus in Aggressive Stance to attack-move towards the forward edge of Shinzo's base to draw out his air units.
Immediately follow with Chopper-VXs to destroy key structures (Construction Yard, Mecha Bay, Barracks) as they become visible.
If Shinzo has Striker-VX's, deal with his remaining air force and land your Tengus. The Striker-VX's may destroy your Mecha Tengus but will not bother your Chopper-VXs.
Cripple Shinzo and return to base to replenish forces.
Decide which of Kenji's bases to attack next. Approach from behind, avoiding Shinzo's remaining defenses.
Cripple Kenji's base, then eliminate all Instant Reactors and Refineries. This will cause remaining defenses to deactivate and units to die.
Return survivors to base, repair, and replenish.
Once your forces are sufficient, attack Kenji's other base. He will have no defenses facing that direction. Aim for his Construction Yard.
As soon as one of Kenji's bases is destroyed, Shinzo will begin sharing line of sight and attacking. Your defenses should be sufficient to handle this.
While waiting for credits, use support powers on Shinzo's Instant Reactors to ease the final cleanup.
