Destroy HQ on the plateau (6)

You are starting on southern lowland [1]. From the beginning you will have to defend attacks from north [3], north-east [2] and later from west [4]. Enemy will use tanks T-64, recon vehicles with long range rockets, infantry and choppers. In the first line place tanks: AMX and Abrams. Buy 3 long range AA weapon Chaparral (place them near FOB), they are great in destroying gunships from long range. You can also buy some mortar vehicles which are good in cannonade big groups of enemies (picture below). Support troops with choppers and in the forests on the west place AT infantry.

When you've got enough points buy 2 Cobra choppers, 2-3 Abrams and couple of AMX tanks. Send new army to the west toward sector Alpha [5] and eliminate all encounter units. Capture FOB near road and counter enemy's assault and after that place command vehicle in the small forest near FOB and take control over region. Continue moving to the west and eliminate some tanks and AA units. At the end of the road you will approach to enemy's headquarter [6]. Eliminate some tanks (picture below) and command car (in this way you will complete additional task Destroy enemy's panzer HQ and secure your west flank from opponent's assaults). Enemy can try to recapture the sector but with few gunships you will quickly counter this maneuver.

After clear the west flank create new army consists of: at least 4 Abrams, some Bradleys with AT rockets and 3 AA Chaparral vehicles (you can use the experienced ones which were defending the base), some AA Roland and supply (Chinooks helicopters or HEMTT). Move along eastern road toward sector India [7]. During way eliminate lots of enemy's gunships (picture below) and when you get to the sector capture it and continue toward opponent's headquarter [8].

From time to time you can encounter enemy's land units (mainly recon and T-64 tanks) which are easy targets for Abrams. When you get to the sector with HQ remember to resupply AA units because there is lots of gunships in the area. Kill soldiers in local forests (mortars are great to that job) and start moving on the hill (picture below). Capture all supply trucks, FOB and destroy command vehicle.

Regroup and start clearing foreground on the plateau [9] (detect enemy's units and attack with all tanks at once or use mortars (picture below)). Watch on your gunships because there are lots of AA in the area. Once the area is clear just destroy the command vehicle.
