Your first objective is to defend the airfield. Launch every last fighter you can and fly them all south. The bombers won't appear immediately, but they'll appear soon enough. | Your first objective is to defend the airfield. Launch every last fighter you can and fly them all south.

So, you've survived the first attack wave. Next you have to defend a pair of destroyers. Why they are mission critical, no one knows - all that matters to you is that they must survive. | So, you've survived the first attack wave. Next you have to defend a pair of destroyers.

NOW is the hard part. Whether you win or lose depends on how you react after you've saved the destroyers. If, when there are three or two squadrons of enemies left attacking the destroyers, you send every last Zero off to the east, on the direction of the shipyard - you have a chance of winning. If you don't, chances are you'll lose. | NOW is the hard part. Whether you win or lose depends on how you react after you've saved the destroyers.

The Allied invasion of Tulagi is on. Congratulations on surviving the relentless SBD attack from before. You've passed the hardest part in the mission - the rest is just easy interception stuff and is much easier than defending helpless targets (especially those shipyards) against bomber attack. It seems strange - the final objective is relatively easy. | The Allied invasion of Tulagi is on. Congratulations on surviving the relentless SBD attack from before.

Your objective now is similar to that of [[Battlestations: Midway/Defence of the Phillipines|Defence of the Phillipines]]: destroy the invasion fleet. It consists of merely two transport ships and a TON of Higgins boats. The Higgins boats are your first priority - they're twice as fast as the Daihatsus from the campaign, giving them a chance at landing. Don't let this happen, and always strafe down the Higgins boats first before proceeding onto the troop transports. | Your objective now is similar to that of [[Battlestations: Midway/Defence of the Phillipines|Defence of the Phillipines]]: destroy the invasion fleet.
