Overview: Placement of your pre-deployed units is key to finishing this map with the highest score possible. The enemy War Tank is neutralized by surrounding it with your two Dusters. The power score is provided by a number of units, with the Anti-Air as the main source. Note that you cannot save the easternmost Infantry, but it serves its purpose as a distraction.

On Day 5, the enemy Anti-Air does not like to cooperate in its movement. The guide assumes the best possible situation, but you will have to make do if you cannot attack that unit from the preferred position. Use the save on Day 4 to experiment with your own movement. Note that it is still possible to finish in 7 days even if the worst case scenario happens.
