Greetings,

for months now i am trying to get through mission 12 of Battle Isle 2.
I need a war veteran who is versed in this game and in this mission especially.

In this mission you have to defend a city in the south west and capture the enemies city in the middle. There are many rivers and woods on this map.
The most annoying thing is that the enemy has two air-bases with lots of planes, especially GHOST fighters that fly at very high altitude and can not be combatted by any ground unit other than MEDUSA. They fly around and disrupt everthing i do. i dont get very far.
Has someone out there on GOG experience with this mission and can tell me how to deal with them?

Thanks a Lot!

Your Sweem

You should check out thestumpyofpain on youtube . Here is the first of his videos on the play : youtube.com/watch?v=99a9AWs2FQM

The city in the left lower corner needs to be defended by the present units without advancing. It is important that you defend an incoming Ranger. Try to repair the tracked units.
You need to retreat your helicopters by either get them into cities or defend them by surrounding with ground units. In that way the air units can not occupy an adjacent tile and attack. It is not logical but works. Protect you refilling airplane that way. All airplanes can also hide in the headquarters.
To release the pressure on the sieged city you need to get the pair of dozers that you have to the southwest and build a bridge. Then reinforce. Two dozers fit into an Atlas transport unit.

Some of the info stated in the posts above is wrong.
The mission objectives are:
1. Kill all units of the green player.
2. Conquer a building in the upper west, the villa of general Dengh.

Many people think that it is another objective to protect the city in the southwest. That is wrong !
Please check the ingame mission description !



The enemy airplanes are annoying. Shoot down the recon plane in the first round. All enemy planes are considered to fly at normal height during the FIRST turn of the blue player. Try to lure the Ghosts as far to the east as possible.
Conquer the airport on your side of the river in the center of the map and build medusa units in the airport, NO helicopters !!! Try to damage the enemy Ghosts with medusas and finish them off with the Stormbringer or your own Ghost.
