AWDS Hard Campaign Guide - Mission 17: Spiral Garden

Difficulty: Easy - Moderate.

Objective: Capture 15 properties, capture the lab or rout the enemy.

Suggested Main COs: Hawke, Jess.

Support COs: Andy, Jake.

Suggested skills for Main CO: Conqueror, Gold Rush, Fire Sale, Slam Shield/Snipe Shield.

Suggested skills for Support CO: All three support tags, anything else.

General Strategy

Four Piperunners. This seems tough but like any indirect unit all you need is some quick and powerful direct units. The Northern Neotank and central Md. Tank however, are more of a problem with great firepower and excellent defence.

Hold off from going West from your Headquarters until both Piperunners, the Battle Helicopter and the Tank move into range of your own units that can easily cripple these units.

Use two Artillery to attack and destroy pipe seams. By doing so, you can lure one Mid Tank to attack another unit and bombard it with Artillery the day after. With the Neotank, assault it with multiple Tanks and join them up in the same turn to keep your Technique score intact.

In-Depth Guide

Use the silos to shoot the harder to kill Md. Tank and/or Neotank. If the Piperunners really bother you that much, employ Javier as your main CO backed with Snipe Guard and Snipe Shield.

However, I'd recommend you to use Shaky Alliance to help with Candy's/Kindle's abilities and powers. Not only that, the mass of wounded Tanks can actually bounce back where they'll be a threat once again.

My Score: 16 days, 300 points, Hawke/Andy.
