Overview: With an APC bait, everyone but Kanbei can capture Eagle’s HQ in 8 days. Yes, even Grit can match the speed of Sami. Send one Infantry to capture Eagle’s HQ and lure Eagle’s units to your HQ with the use of an APC and Infantry. Two Tanks and one Anti-Air will provide the power score.

Kanbei cannot follow this walkthrough due to his deployment costs. With him, simply force your way to Eagle’s HQ.

Any CO can do this fine, but Max can obtain the power score with little sweat.
