Strategy[edit]

Stay put and allow the German forces to charge at your line. Shoot down enemy aircraft with AA guns, elite infantry and your own aircraft; destroy enemy mobile AA emplacements with artillery and ground forces. Do not attack otherwise, stall for time instead to wear the enemy down, especially on your right flank. Repair your damaged aircraft and let them engage enemy heavy and medium artillery. When the road is clear enough, your left flank should break through and advance north along the road to capture the enemy HQ. Meanwhile your right flank defends Depot 3 for as long as possible, so that it keeps generating resources for repairing damaged units in the Deport itself and in your HQ. When Depot 3 falls into enemy hands, beat a slow fighting retreat towards your HQ down the coastal road. Set up a defensive perimeter in front of your HQ made up of repaired units from the HQ and retreating units from the right flank, and let sappers dig trenches there. Your left flank’s forces should capture the enemy HQ before the enemy reaches yours.
