Overview: I salute you, Forsythe. The Tactics Room was the outline for this D2D, which uses every unit at your disposal. They are essential in obtaining the perfect score. Use your B-copters to manipulate Forsythe’s units while you move your units into position before breaking the right meteorite.
Once the plasma clears, destroy the Rockets and move in with all of your units. The Rockets remain behind in order to provide the final attacks needed to provide the power score. Surround the airport and factory with your units, protecting your Infantry in the process.
On the naval front, your Sub is used to wound the B-ship and destroy the Carrier before revealing itself as bait for Forsythe’s B-copter. The Cruiser simply serves as bait for Forsythe’s Cruiser. This part is the most important of the entire guide. If the AI fails to follow this, the capture is doomed to fail.
The most random part is Forsythe’s Cruiser. On Day 4, it may attack your Cruiser, which dooms the guide. Its behavior seems to guide the actions of Forsythe’s Seaplane. If his Cruiser ignores yours while your Cruiser is being repaired, his Seaplane may attack your Bike, allowing you to greet it with explosives to the face.
As long as your Missiles destroys either the T-copter or Seaplane, you will earn 150 points in the power score assuming all else goes according to plan. If you destroy both, the movement regarding the Mech, southern B-copter, southern Infantry, and Rockets can be ignored and they can simply retreat instead.
As a side note, since this D2D finishes in 9 days, you will fail to see the conversation between Forsythe and Brenner on Day 10. If you want to see it, save on Day 9, end your turn, and watch the dialogue. Then you can reload your save and finish the map.
