I found that if you do the following in the early game , everything else is a cake walk and you'll even be able to route sturm. middle co(grit): rushes the two bases using a day 1 tcopter as fodder( these bases may be covered by the cannons but their purpose is to produce infantry and mechs as walls for grits op indirects that not only allow you to defend, but straight up obliterate any forces coming down the middle right co( I use max) has it easy: RUSH the missile silos up top. Sturm NEVER contests this move and prize of 5 missiles is far greater than the extra few days of income from capturing cities a few days earlier. Capture the forward base early on... this can all be accomplished by buying 2 tcopters within the first two days. Both side cos need to rush the silos at the bottom and use them to exclusively ruin the capture of the two bases on the side. This is the difference between having an easy mid game vs absolute hell. also since the right side has it so easy, say to produce neotanks since youll save a day or two of having to position bombers since that airport is so damn far away. The left co( i use eagle), receives the blunt of sturms troops but I found a way to circumvent this and the secret here is to only produce infantry, transport, A-air, bombers and fighters. Those scary bombers and neotanks arent scary when they can only target infantry that are spread over the map. Just try keep your a-air safe( these are mainly used to kill fighters and protect that forward base from capture). if youre mainly fielding those units, sturms just wasting his money but I'll repeat this again... DONT LET him get the forward base... SACK a bomber or A-Air if you have to. Eventually the income disparity will allow you to route sturm in like 20 days. Don't get too caught up in capturing every city( do go for the bases tho) early on cause the properties that you have are enough to field key units that allow you to win the early game and stop sturm from ever becoming a problem. TL;DR right CO rush the both upper and lower silos and the forward base. Their job is to supply constant silo pressure and destroy the right cannon. Middle CO: use grit, rush the island bases designed to produce infantry fodder and use his indirects to defend and even push back the middle until the cannons fall. Left CO, grab the lower silos, prioritize preventing the capture of the forward base, produce units ( fighters and bombers) that makes the bombers and neotanks that sturm produces a waste. Eventually sneak a bomber and a guardian fighter to destroy left cannon. Last note... DONT destroy units that you dont have to cause a meteor strike is more problematic then that apc or the infantry hunting neotank and bomber( the map is so big anyways that sturm will probably not reach them lol)
Your score is only determined by your leading country, in my case Orange Star. So if I killed a lot of units with Eagle or Kanbei it wouldn't count towards my score. That might be your problem.
I think if you beat the level with Eagle then he should ask for a rematch. Rivals 2 Electric Boogaloo. (Rivals was the final hidden mission in one that could only be unlocked by using Eagle in the final battle against Sturm. Eagle wants rematch against Andy, and the map and troop deployment are hilariously tilted in Eagle's favor.)
You have to kill a certain percentage of the total enemy units in a single turn. If the mission goes on for longer, Sturm will build more units and your power score will decrease. It's different for every mission though.
Since I can't reply to the comments here due to stupid RUclips, I'll just post a few things. That thing about the "lead CO" getting to Power and Technique scores isn't entirely true. Basuically, whoever destroys the Deathray is the one who's Power and Technique scores end up counting, so you need to plan in advance who will do it. (Hot Pursuit works like that too, by the way. The one who destroys the final cannon gets the Power and Technique scores) This CAN be one of the side COs, and in fact tends to always be in my runs. I always tend to put Max on the right side, but still have him be the one to take the Deathray out. Eagle works for that too, though.
I guess you might have been thinking of AW1, where Andy (the center CO) was the only one who counted for Power and Technique. The one thing I'm not sure of is how things work for the Factory missions. I'm pretty sure there the one whos Power and Technique end up counting is the "home country" CO. (E.g. the Blue Moon one in Factory Blues) rather than the one who destroys the pipe. The reason I think I'm sure is that the home CO always gives the line on the results screen, whereas in Hot Pursuit and Final Front the one who fulfils the objective delivers the line. My guess is whoever appears on the results screen is the one who gets the Power and Technique scores.
BigKlingy Yeah, this topic causes a lot of confusion... The scoring system is all over the place. What you say actually makes sense. I guess I'll have to look into it.
I loved these kind of games when I was younger, I even made some videos about strategy, rpg and other genres on GBA, and sometimes I play them on my pc and mobile, using VBA
The Clue in the Old Stagecoach by Carolyn Keene I favorite part of the story is the beginning when they chased down the stagehorse Nancy and her two cousins Bess and George were on vacation when they spotted a stagecoach rolling down the hill. To their surprise the girls ran after the stagecoach to save to spotted figures inside the stagecoach.When the girls arrived at where the stagecoach had stopped they realized that there no one on the inside.After the incident the girls decided to continue on with where they were heading to an elderly woman's house named Mrs.Strook when they arrived she welcomed them in then immediately told the girls about a mystery of an old stagecoach that contained a clue.When the elderly woman had finished Nancy promised to get started right away on the mystery, the girls ran into lots of trouble finding the old stagecoach ,but in the end the three girls found the old stagecoach and discovered the clue which was worth 7.500$. Summary Now I will present to you my fifteen objects in the story. the clue was the stamp that cost 7.500$. One of the dangerous things that the girls had to go through was a bear that had attacked their car. The envelope in which there was a note that told the three girls where to find the clue. Mrs.Strook's Uncle's journal that he had written the letter that had said there was a clue in the old stagecoach. Another one of the dangerous things that happened to the girls was when a tree almost fell on George. The waterwheel that Bess fell into. the stagecoach that started the whole mystery. The map in which Mrs.Strook gave Nancy which also helped her find the old stagecoach, The boxes in which the pieces of the stagcoach were in. The cane that Ross Monteith had discised but was really a Geiger counter. The clue that the three girls found of numbers going all the way up to 30. The earring that Ross Monteith made up to get away from Nancy When she discovered he was snooping around. The car that the three girls used to drive all over the place with. The flashlight that the group used when they looking for the satgecoach at night. The crowbar that the workman used to open the box when they discovered the 7.500$ stamp. I wish that there was more to the end then just a 7.500$ stamp. I wished that there was more coming up to the end. I loved the part about Mrs.Strook.
I swear, this game hates me. The RNG never lines up with any guide. I've tried this mission 3 times now with this strategy. All 3 times, the medium tank that was built on the right in this video ends up on the left. The second attempt failed because the fighter on the left was built up near the cannon instead. Kanbei always gets swarmed around Day 7 unless I use the missiles to cause the horde of tanks to retreat.
Actually, since there are only 11 properties where middle starts, I started ignoring them and just taking their citys as the middle. Just did this 5 min ago lol
I had used the same set up as you did and at first I had killed 3 with Max before destroying the Death Ray and I got 55. I started again and I killed four and ended up with 287 for some reason. I always thought you had to kill 3 units with the leading country in one turn to ensure 100 power score
doesn't work for me. The enemy has tons of anti-aircraft, fighters, anti-aircraft missiles, etc. and 1000 heavy tanks and bombers with which he overrun me in 7 days
The facct that black storm can only kill 1 infantry from a group of 5 is rational. The fact that it affects the whole board is also rational. But HOW THE HECK did he kill STURM, stronger than an infinity of infantries with a single black storm?? My theory is that he concentrated it on a single area (if that's even possible) so he can get way more than 2 damage on Sturm to kill him.
Hey fatguy can you help me. I only got a plus 66 power ranking on this map and I destroyed 9 units in one turn. Sturm only deployed like less than 70 units total. I did kinda do some cheapo stuff like encircling a damaged unit but that shouldn't matter right? I got 99 on speed and 100 on technique but I'm so pissed because I've redone this match twice now and I'm not gonna go back and do it again. You're max strat look better than mine tho. I used Olaf, Drake and Sensei LOL
god this mission might as well be called trial and error. Because the RNG is fucking insane with how easily your run can get botched. And all i'm trying to do is beat the damn thing. FUCk the ranking i get
Or you can just rout the map instead. You just need to put early pressure on Sturm's right and left expansions with the CO in the middle helping out if possible. Afterwards you push up on the right and left sides and take everything. Finally you waltz leisurely to the deathray.
Try the strat where u just sneak in with Colon cheap bomber, and use Eagle or Max's bomber to get shot at by the cannon so Colin's bomber can pass. It's a very cheese strategy but an easy S rank
yeah, and it really makes no sense since they have other new COs with similar things that still have their powers boost movement, along with other bonuses. I guess someone at IS really didn't like Max for some reason and somehow got even more nerfs approved
i may accomplish it with 300 because i finished the game with all 300 in all mission. For information! ;-) (otherwise i'm french you can translate : J'ai fini le jeu avec toutes les missions à 300 points, ce jeu est génial)
If you have nothing to play it on just download a game emulator on your phone. Idk if yours has this but i use MyBoy. After that just go online and download the rom from a website. Preferably from emulator.games/

*destroys deathray*
Sturm: My... My Deathray...
I loved this game as a child... it was way ahead of its time.
The fact that Hawke used his super CO power at the end means that Sturm had 2HP by the end of the battle and Hawke had 8HP
But no troops dies when Hawke uses his Co Powers, they always live at 1hp.

It's insane how he did that

hold my bombers
That level es a nightmare

Thank you very much for this guide. I don't want to think about how much time I spent trying to do this mission without a guide.
Since I can't reply to the comments here due to stupid RUclips, I'll just post a few things.

I see... I knew that that's how it worked in Dual Strike, but I wasn't quite sure about this game. Thanks for the input!
I guess you might have been thinking of AW1, where Andy (the center CO) was the only one who counted for Power and Technique.

This gave me so much nostalgia.
I got slapped in the face from this.
Nintendo forgot about this gem
Nostalgia from so many years ago lmao, remembering how much Hawke was my fav character in the game
BTW If you use a bomber there is a single safe spot from the closest you can get away from fire. Very helpful :D

I loved the part about Mrs.Strook.
thank you for that master bomber strategy
I wonder if going head-on against Sturm in this mission is actually doable. All the strategies I've seen involve a one-shot bomber rush.
The Ugly Barnacle late reply, i was a kid when i did this mission and were stupid enough to fight him head on. had many failures but its possible
+The Ugly Barnacle i remember i won with andy, kanbei and grit. it was a long ass battle. but i won. it wasn't a S rank. but victory is victory.
You can't Head on. His defensive Offense is too good.
yea he has flesh. he only wears the vader outfit cause he cant breath oxygen since hes an alien
I swear, this game hates me. The RNG never lines up with any guide. I've tried this mission 3 times now with this strategy. All 3 times, the medium tank that was built on the right in this video ends up on the left. The second attempt failed because the fighter on the left was built up near the cannon instead.

1 year late, but if you play on vba it can easily be abuse by save state, or even better just use cheat
Tried doing this with Sensei, Grit, and Max.
Actually, since there are only 11 properties where middle starts, I started ignoring them and just taking their citys as the middle. Just did this 5 min ago lol
I find the hard mission quite easier than in the normal mode. Idk why but it's just easy
Agreed!
The cpu acts a little differently when I do it
you had the strat. play with that
I killed one more unit on the last turn and it gave me a power score of 55...
I had used the same set up as you did and at first I had killed 3 with Max before destroying the Death Ray and I got 55. I started again and I killed four and ended up with 287 for some reason. I always thought you had to kill 3 units with the leading country in one turn to ensure 100 power score

This guy does a lot of rng manipulation it will not work at all, getting tips ain't bad tho
Wait where was blue moon again?
On the left originally
Beat it with 288 total. I had to restart like 7 times though :P
The facct that black storm can only kill 1 infantry from a group of 5 is rational. The fact that it affects the whole board is also rational. But HOW THE HECK did he kill STURM, stronger than an infinity of infantries with a single black storm??

They definitely made sturm stronger in the sequel
🤨 after the first laser blast Sturm changed his strategy. Absolute bullshit. He's so damn good
Himmler betrayed Hitler kind of ending but with a satisfied meaning 😂
Or you can just rout the map instead. You just need to put early pressure on Sturm's right and left expansions with the CO in the middle helping out if possible. Afterwards you push up on the right and left sides and take everything. Finally you waltz leisurely to the deathray.
Can Kappy pull off these savage S Ranks?
Thank you

hey you can finished it at day 8 or 9 sir with bomber of max
I thought about a bomber strategy, but I'm using Max this time to avoid cannon fire
they killed max's abilities at AW2 and dual strike
yeah, and it really makes no sense since they have other new COs with similar things that still have their powers boost movement, along with other bonuses. I guess someone at IS really didn't like Max for some reason and somehow got even more nerfs approved
