Strategy

This level may look intimidating at first because the Great Owl will now drop bombs on your units directly instead of just 1 specific area. However, there are tricks to bypass the problems. To ease off the scare, the last bombing will occur at the beginning of your 5th turn.

The northwest and southwest corners contain silos. Get to these quickly using your already loaded Landers and use you Battleships to destroy the meteor forming a barrier around the northwest silos. Keep in mind not to clump your units together during this time. Also, watch out for opponent's submarines to watch out for.

On Day 3, bombing will begin. These bombs, once again, will not destroy your units, but it will leave them very vulnerable. If you spread your units, minimal damage will occur. Clumping units together will cause sever damage. If necessary, drop your units off on Day 4 to prevent enemy Subs from poaching them.

Once Day 6 occurs at the beginning of your turn, there will be a short dialogue sequence that causes the Great Owl to retreat. This is your opportunity to blitz through the stronghold. Be mindful that if Tabitha produced enough powerful units, they can still demolish you, so proceed with caution.
