How to handle the army gangbang

[Olter]

So I got to the camp and saw the army guys showed up. After this, 10 armies of 10 will spawn all over the map, and take control over the beginning island and beeline for your mines. Frankly this is a bit of a pickle as the money situation is precarious to begin with and now im about to be quadruple fisted by german dudes.

Anybody got to this part yet, and how did it go?

Yeah, I finished game yesterday so can give you some advice probably.
1. Don't attack E9 unless you already have at least 1 top squad of 6, but better to have 2 top squads of 6 to retake all mines and cities
2. If "you are not prepared!!!" then just slowly retake your mines and cities with your main squad, same I did, but you must understand that you are dealing with professional army with top equipment (machine gunners, snipers, mortar guys, medics) so I hope you have at least two pro machine gunners and 4 pro snipers with armor piercing rounds
3. Load your game before entering E9 and keep training your mercs and grinding good weapon and armor because we don't have any in-game shops

Farm Blackgate army till you get M24s (yes, for everyone, sniper rifles are OP), mod them with thermal scopes and every mod that gives accuracy bonus and load em with armor-piercing ammo. Get armor. Set your guys behind cover around tents (I also set Barry with his shaped charges behind the giant tree, he also threw smoke grenades to effectively cut off every enemy on the hill from the rest, because grazes thru smoke).

I sent Steroid to talk and then immidiately ran behind the tree, while Barry was chucking his shaped charges and my snipers one-tap headshot everyone in vicinity (x3 aim headshots with thermal+mods have like a 99% hit chance).

Went pretty smooth, did it 2nd try (1st one I didn't know it's a fight, so I died).

I just came upon it. Last save is the second before arriving at E9, so I can`t get out of it and one of my armies just is too slow and dies there. It's one of the worst things I've had happen to me in a game because my over 30 hours of game time have been utterly devasted by single event.

Went pretty well for me, because I have Barry
