Mission Ten: Black Boats Ahoy!

Objective: Capture the HQ or destroy all enemy units to win. Don't lose that lander!
CO: Choice of two
Enemy CO: Kindle

For your first battle against Kindle, you're going to have to both defend against her troops, take over a specific city on the map, and travel across the sea to reach her HQ and capture it without losing too many of your troops.

Your main goal is going to be to take over the enemy HQ, which is going to be a sight easier than destroying all of the troops here. You have a lander to move units across the sea, so it won't be difficult to get troops down there. You'll also want to capture the neutral city directly to the east of your HQ, near the northern bridge; this will lead you to a bonus mission if you manage to capture it, then win the mission.

On your first turn, move your lander up one space and put a tank on it. Move one of your infantry near the lander, then have your remaining troops start moving to the east, staying out of range of the enemy artillery. Move the submarine to the east as well; you can submerge it if you wish.

On your next turn, get the infanty onto the lander, then move it towards the enemy island. Move the submarine further to the east and submerge it at the end of the turn if you haven't already. On the northern island, all of your efforts should be going towards destroying any enemy units near the neutral town with the map in it and capturing the city.

On the third turn, destroy the battleship with your sub, and continue to aggressively go after the northern city. Unfortunately, one of Kindle's powers can do 3 damage to any unit on a base, so if you have a weak unit on the city, it may wind up being killed or reduced in power until it has a hard time capturing anything. This is pretty damn annoying, but if you're lucky you can get there quickly enough for her to not use it, or she might skip over it entirely and go for her super power, which doesn't have that effect. She also seems more likely to use it if you have a lot of units on cities, so try to stay off of the other cities in the area, and form your units in a defensive pattern around the infantry or mech that's trying to capture the neutral city. In the meantime, drop your troops from the lander onto the enemy HQ island; there are only two spots where the artillery on their HQ won't spot you, so those are obviously enough where you want to go.

Be sure to capture the northern city before you capture the enemy HQ. The artillery on the enemy HQ won't stand up to tank fire for more than a few turns, so be sure to fire on it with both your tank and infantry from close range. Also, use your submarine to blast the enemy Black Boats to increase your Power ranking. When you've captured the northern city and obtained the map, move in on the enemy HQ and capture that to finish the map. You can also win by destroying all of the units, but since you have no bases to build more of your own, you risk losing enough of your own units to damage your Technique score.
