Walkthrough[]
(This walkthrough assumes Hard difficulty.)
Tenzai Robotics
Nagama Dojos
Shirada Docks
Toyama High Command
You and your co-commander both start with a sizable base. Your objective in the first phase is simply to survive. The bonus objective of destroying the blockade is possible, but not worth the effort, as doing so does not change the mission in any way other than marking the bonus objective as complete.
The enemy attack forces mostly consist of Nanocores and surface vehicles, so a mix of Guardian tanks, Multigunner IFVs, and Javelin soldiers should have no problem defending your base. If you want to complete the bonus objective no matter what, however, you should also build as many Cryocopters as possible. Using them to freeze the Defender-VX and Imperial docks, then ordering the Co-Commander to destroy them is the easiest way to clear the blockade.
Once the timer is up, sell all your structures except the construction yard (the mission will fail if you lose the con yard) and move all units away from the Allied buildings, as the Psionic Decimators are about to destroy them. The Construction Yards and any of your units not directly hit by the Decimator blasts will survive with 50% health (including air units, which are normally unaffected by the Decimator). Begin rebuilding the base with the money you got from selling the structures and use Co-Commander Strike on your Co-Commander's con yard to have your Co-Commander's MCV chronoshifted to the northeastern edge of the map.
Build an airbase and four Apollo fighters, then a Prospector or a MCV to expand into the ocean. Cover your ocean base with the Apollos to protect them from air units, such as Chopper-VX. You will soon receive a chronoshift reinforcement consists of Mirage Tanks, including two of the new Athena cannons. Use them to destroy the Imperial docks near the Tenzai Robotics factories. The nearby Imperial con yard will constantly try to replace the docks with new nanocores, making it a great place to grind your Athenas to Heroic veterancy.
Start building 4 Century Bombers, 4 Vindicators and 4 Apollo Fighters and use them to bomb the superweapons before they cause more trouble.
Tatsu's fleet comprises 3 Shogun Battleships, a couple of Naginata Cruisers and a couple of Sea Wings. They are all Heroic so don't use naval units to sink that fleet. Instead, use Cryocopters to shrink them and Vindicators to bomb them or use the Chronosphere to teleport the ships to land.
Destroy the Nagama Dojos to stop Rocket Angels and Yuriko from threatening the Allied bases.
Destroy the Imperial Tenzai Robotics factories with air power, as the King Oni walkers will make short work of any land weapons and the Shirada Docks will produce more of the Empire’s superior ships to counter any naval attacks.
Again, destroy the Shirada docks with air power.
Finally destroy the Toyama Headquarters to end the mission.
Expect Final Squadrons (and, later, Balloon Bombs) to target the player’s forces and base, especially the Chronosphere.
