Turn 7: Cap the Airport, destroy the Sub, L + move to Tank, destroy the AA, then destroy the M-Tank with yours

Turn 8: Destroy the AA with your M-Tank, 2L, build a Fighter, then destroy the Battleship from above or the left

*[For some reason, the AI usually will not step on your Factory with anything but a foot soldier. This, plus a lack of any front-line units to challenge your M-Tank, means that Sturm will uselessly bottle-neck all of his units here!]*

Turn 9: Rise your Sub, attack the enemy Fighter from the right, build a T-Copter, then load the Infantry

*[These moves ensure that Clone Sturm's Missile won't move and target your Airport.]*

Turn 10: Destroy the Fighter from the left, move your T-Copter a tile down, then build a Bomber

*[Things are variable from here, but you’ve mostly won. Sturm isn’t very good at guarding his HQ, so as long as you know that there’s a Missile hidden in the Forest U4 of Sturm’s HQ, as well as another Missile (and usually an AA or two) poking around somewhere, you should be good]*

Turn 11: Save your game. Scout the lower area for which enemies to kill. Have the Fighter aggro the Cruiser, then build a 2nd Bomber to kill it with

Turn 12: Destroy the Cruiser, flush out the Missile near the beach, build a 3rd Bomber, and proceed with caution.

Turns 13+: Build a B-Copter to block the Airport, destroy the M-Tank that always guards the HQ, then cap it as soon as possible.
