Quick Tips & Early Warnings
Tip 1:   Build Up Your Base and Ignore Objectives Early!
The enemy will only attack in large numbers as you unlock the objectives. So don't unlock them until your base is ready for it. Get a Land Factory and some Engineers up right away. Use the Engineers to repair/assist the Naval Factory and to build/rebuild some Torpedo Launchers. Get some Mobile AA to patrol the coastline ASAP.

Tip 2:   Focus On Building Attack Subs, Destroyers, and T2 Gunships
A good blend of these units makes this mission pretty easy.


Mission Objectives
Objective 1:   Defeat Frigate Force.
Once you have a good base set up take these annoying Frigates out so you can build some Torpedo Launchers without having to worry about these guys killing your Engineers.

Objective 2:   Build Sonar Installation
Have an Engineer build the Sonar close to your base so that it is well protected.

Objective 3:   Destroy All Enemy Submarine Groups
Use your Subs to kill their Subs. You can do this faster by drawing them into your Torpedo Launchers.

Objective 4:   Colonel Arnold
Arnold dies no mater what. So let him die.

Objective 5:   Defeat the Aeon Counterattack
This attack is easy to stop as long as you followed Tips 1 and 2. Good base/AA Defenses and a well blended force of units will push them back.

Objective 6:   Reclaim Arnold's Black Box
Arnold was on the southeast island, so as long as you are cranking out plenty of air units(30 or more Gunships) go ahead clear the island and send in some Engineers to reclaim the box. Have lots of Engineers(10 or more) assist your Air Factories if you need more air quickly. Get some T2 Point Defenses on the eastern coastlines of the islands you have taken over. Build some T2 AA Defenses near the northeast area of Arnold's island and get a few Air Factories up so you can crack out more Gunships.

Objective 7:   Kill or Capture the Aeon Princess
She gets away no matter what, so don't worry about it.

Objective 8:   Destroy the Aeon Commander's Base
Use everything you have to destroy the island. Take out their AA with your Subs and Destroyers. Take out their Torpedo Launchers with your Gunships. The south end of the island is probably the easiest to clear out. After that just transport some T2 Tanks to the south area of the island and have your naval units cover them.
