Blue Moon:Rachel

This is the first mission. Rachel will guide you through most of it but... Select your tank unit and move it into the woods next to Rachel's tank and select fire. The animation will play, press any button to cancel it. Now select your mech (the soldier holding a bazooka) and move it into the road next to the tank. Select fire and the mech should finish up with the tank. Now select the last unit, the infantry (soldier holding a rifle) and move it toward the west end where the enemies are. Press on any piece of terrain, and select end at the bottom. Rachel will take her turn and move her infantry toward your units. It is your turn once again. Move the mech up and attack the infantry. Finish it off with the tank, and use your remaining infantry to attack her remaining infantry. End your turn, Rachel will take her turn, and then finish her infantry off with any unit next turn.

Black Hole: Jugger

This mission introduces indirect firing units. At the top, there will be three Black Hole tanks. Below it and across the river are two Artillery units. Indirect units can strike from a distance without being counter-attacked. However, vice versa, if they are attacked they won't be able to counter-attack so keep them gaurded with direct firing units. They also cannot fire and move in the same turn, so you will need to set them up ahead of time. Select the one from the right, don't move it, and select fire. Fire on any of the tanks. Now move the artillery from the left and move it a space to the right. Now, about the APC and infantry, select the damaged infantry and move it down into the APC, then move the APC toward your HQ. Move your tank down the road and end your turn. Black Hole will move their tanks through the woods and end their turn. Now that your artillery are in position, fire on their tanks. Continue moving the tank toward the Black Hole tanks and the APC toward HQ. Drop the damaged infantry off at the HQ. End your turn now. Once it is your turn, fire on both tanks with your artillery and move the tank further up. End your turn. Now that is your turn again, use your tank to finish off the enemy tank.

Black Hole: Lash

Now that you've gotten a general feel of the game, I'll follow by giving you a more general guide of it. In the lower right corner of the map, you have a bunch of Battle Copter. These are air units and will be very important to you here. Ignore Max's advice to ignore the Black Bomb and spread out all the battle copters. Now load your infantry into the Transport Copter and set up your remaining units in a barricade. The next turn the bomb will fly at a battle copter and detonate, knocking off 5 from all units in it's range. The next turn, if more than one battle copters are hurt by the bomb, join them following Max's orders. Move the battle copters up toward HQ to hold your ground, attack the tanks and theMedium Tanks. Send the transport copter toward the Black Hole headquarters and drop it off when you get there. Continue to hold your ground at HQ, and capture their headquarters to win the battle.

Move them all up next to one of the air units and fire. In the upper part of the battle, you have a Missile unit. In range of it is a battle copter and a damaged fighter. Fire on the battle copter. With your Rocket, fire on the tank and then finish it off with your own tank. On the next turn, chase down the rest of the damaged air units and finish them off with the battle copter to win.
