Overview: This map is completed by routing Eagle with 7 Recons. Manipulate his builds so that he does not build anything larger than a Recon. Block up Eagle's bases with your Recons to prevent him from building additional units. Eagle's Infantry must also stay on a base while attacking your Recon to stop his production.

The vital step is to move the east Recon of the trio 1E only on Day 4. Doing so will make Eagle build an Infantry, instead of a Tank.

Grit, Colin and Sami cannot follow this guide because of low Recon attack. Kanbei cannot follow this guide because of increased costs.

In this guide, when I write 2 numbers in brackets (i.e. X-Y), X refers to how much HP your unit must have, while Y refers to how much HP the enemy unit must have.

For full Power, don't worry. You win by rout, so you've got full Power already.

For full Technique, you can lose 1 unit. You will not be losing any.
