1 Ogurlo ( Easy) : I've finally gotten around to playing that mission, and let's just say that, if you go straight for the Strider Hub with an assault force that may or may not include an Aspis within it, then you can destroy the only starting Dante on the map before it's even built, along with the Strider Hub. The reason why I went for the Strider Hub before the Metal Storage was because I was paranoid that a Dante was suddenly going to attack our team's flank, so I opted to try to limit how often my opponent could deploy Dantes by laying siege to the Strider Hub itself. However, as I've yet to clear the bonus objectives 1st, I opted to try to leave the Strider Hub unharmed, though my ally had other plans, as its units destroyed the Strider Hub once I had opened up a path to it. 1 Ogurlo ( Easy) : [spoiler]I've finally gotten around to playing that mission, and let's just say that, if you go straight for the Strider Hub with an assault force that may or may not include an Aspis within it, then you can destroy the only starting Dante on the map before it's even built, along with the Strider Hub.

5 1. Give the enemy team 2 Dantes from the start: one that's already engaged with your team's army near the frontlines ( with some of your Racketeers already working on disarming it) , and another that protects the Strider Hub against any rushes by your team. ( Note: You may want to assign the guardian Dante to a null AI on the enemy team, so that it won't necessarily be sent to the frontlines. ) 5 [spoiler]- 1.

6 2. Since this mission has aircraft in play, it would've been a good opportunity to introduce the Vandals ( even more so than when they were introduced in Jochu) , and add a new primary objective to destroy the enemy's Airplane Plant along with the Strider Hub and Dantes. This would, of course, require relocating the Airplane Plant to a location that's accessible for land units, in case amphibious or air units are unavailable. 6 - 2.

7 3. As mentioned before, perhaps the Aegis/Aspis would be better showcased if they were introduced in a mission where they're needed to weather bombardment from enemy siege artillery. The way that I see it, Ogurlo seems more suitable for showcasing the Racketeer's capabilities, and the inclusion of Aegis/Aspis seems shoehorned in for the sake of introducing them to the player. 7 - 3.

9 Edit: Made a 2nd attempt at this mission. Here, I rushed to destroy the 1st Dante as it's being built, then backed off to avoid prematurely destroying the Strider Hub, then managed to destroy both Metal Storage Depots with mere seconds to spare, then finally, I destroyed the Strider Hub before a 2nd Dante was built ( which caused the mission to end before I could destroy the 2nd Dante) . 9 Edit: [spoiler]Made a 2nd attempt at this mission.
