Mission 4: Cold Shoulder



Enemy CO:Nell

With some COs, you can clear this map using only two Recons. There are basically two approaches.

1) Block Nell's bases on Day 1. For this, you'll either want Andy, Jake, Jess, Adder, or Koal as the second CO, or Eagle as the first when you finish Day 3, and have a tag ready. Build two recons at your outer bases, and use the tag to move them immediately. With a movement boost, or the third turn you get with a Lightning Strike tag, you can block Nell's outer bases and she'll only build a single infantry, which you can easily destroy on Day 2.

2) Destroy all three infantry on Day 2. Again, you'll need a tag ready for this; you'll want to start the tag with either Eagle or a CO who can one-hit KO infantry with recons with his/her super in effect. Again, build two recons at your outer bases. Switch COs on Day 1 if necessary. Use the tag, (attack first in Eagle's case) destroy the two infantry at the outer bases, then use your second turn to finish off the last infantry with the two recons. Colin should be able to do this with Power of Money's boost unless you're on the Champion course and fairly late in the run; Nell, Flak, and Jugger should be able to if you save and keep trying until they succeed on both attacks. Not sure who else can manage, offhand - anybody who can get up to a 100% boost, or the equivalent with luck included, really. Skills can help with this, of course.

(Note: The particular strategy of using a Lightning Strike tag was given to me by Translucent Air; the rest I figured out after messing around on the map myself a bit.)
