Overview: Your navy and Md. Tank will provide the power score while a loaded Rig will head towards HQ. Greyfield’s orders can screw this guide over, which will utilize many saves in order to provide the maximum possible power score.

There are two possible ways to finish this map depending on Gage’s build order. If he builds a Tank, you will finish one day early because the rest of the guide falls apart on day 7. If he builds a Recon, you can delay the capture by one day and increase your power and technique score.

Completing this map unlocks Gage.
