[edit] Strategy

As this is the first map in the campaign, the strategy is rather simple. Try to take over the depot #2 as soon as possible with your Cavalry. Deploy the Heavy Artillery and defend it with your infantry units. Do not forget to use the Supply Cars to transport your Infatry and Elite Infantry quicker, so that you have more time to set up a defense. You can also use the Supply Cars to transport the Light Artillery and Medium Artillery closer to the depot.

If set up properly, you can eliminate most of your enemy’s forces with your artillery while he moves north. Once most of the computers units are gone, you can advance toward his HQ using your remaining Cavalry. As an alternative, it is also possible to transport your own Heavy Artillery into range so that you can get rid of all the enemy’s units. But be careful: it's not a good idea to move into range on the enemy’s Heavy Artillery with your own, since he can damage or destroy it before you get a chance to attack. If you really want to destroy the enemy’s Heavy Artillery its best attacked with your fast Cavalry units.
