Strategy

Recommended Army Composition: Tank-Medic

Walkthrough: Destroy the two Boom Cannons with your Gunboat and deploy your troops on the far right corner of the beach. Place a Shock Bomb between the two closest Shock Launchers and let your Tanks destroy the one nearest to the beach. Flare your troops to the far right to avoid taking unnecessary shocks from the left and let them take out the second Shock Launcher. If you have enough Energy, destroy the Shock Launcher left of the Headquarters; otherwise, just hit it with Shock Bombs if you need to speed things up.

If at any point your Tanks are stunned by 2 or more Shock Launchers and cannot fire or maneuver, you can cover them with a Smoke Screen to force the offending Shock Launchers to re-target and synchronize their attacks, letting your Tanks get back to work.

Alternate Strategy

Recommended Army Composition: Tank-Medic

Walkthrough: Use Artillery to destroy the Cannons and Rocket Launchers, and use a Barrage to destroy the Boom Cannons, finishing with Artillery or Critters if necessary. Deploy your Tanks in three groups: at least one Landing Craft of Tanks on the left side, at least one Landing Craft of Tanks on the right side of the beach, and one more down the middle. The two pairs of Shock Launchers should be distracted by the two side groups of Tanks, and the middle group of Tanks will help deal damage and/or absorb the projectiles later on. They should slowly work down all four Shock Launchers, but you can still assist them with Shock Bombs if necessary. Once all four Shock Launchers are destroyed, there should not be a threat on the base anymore, and you can then allow your Tanks to finish off the HQ.

Second Alternate Strategy

Recommended Army Composition: Any troops, but Critters are needed

Walkthrough: Destroy the 2 Shock Launchers on the left with Artillery and Barrages. Drop 1 set of Critters between the Rocket Launchers and wait for them to destroy them all. Drop troops on the beach and let them destroy the Cannons (shock when enough energy). Flare troops to the left and attack the Headquarters from the left while shocking the Boom Cannons and remaining Shock Launchers.
