Preemptive strike (mission 2)

[Lyle]

Its quite the challange. Ive restarted the campaign 2 times to optimize experience, and Ive lowered the difficulty. Still being wiped.

Any tips?

Dunno, I was chewing orks out on Normal so I restarted on challenging. I'm still not sure if it was just the first levels (not tutorials) and soon the orks will start chewing me or if simply my experience with Panzer Corps finally paid off. :)

So you beat it? What army composition did you use?

Im using 2 walkers, 2 Leman Russ with las cannons and one Destroyer tank, 1 artillery piece and the rest infrantry and support guns.

Im about halfway through first campaign, using 3 Russ' (Annihalator, Punisher, Vanquisher) and the tank destroyer, basilisk and bombard, a Hydra, a Vulture and the rest inf (one command, one ratling, one support and the rest normal bros) seems to hold up fine

But all those orcs at mission two... I get overwhelmed every time. I capture 4 victory hexes but new orders never seem to come. I hold the victory points until turn 14 with severe losses but still. And yet it is a defeat.

Anyone else managed to get past this? Please elaborate on how you did it.



Edit: Oooooooh, the objective is to flee ^_^

I'm having trouble with Equatorial Escape: Move at least eight Steel Legion units to the far right edge of the map.

I am cut down every time I make it even half way across the map. I'm playing it on challenging.

Any ideas?

I'm doing that one too and also suffering Mollusk. I think the composition of my forces was wrong (too infantry and artillery heavy). I will probably have to start again as my requisition points seem a bit low to revamp the army. Im on same difficulty level as you.
