Remember, to get a "draw" (i.e. hang on to your
Objective base) is easy. The challenge
comes in trying to preserve your own Objective
while capturing the enemy-held Objective
before the scenario end.
Believers: At first you'll be hard pressed. As
your forces build, make sure to keep a
balance between defense and attack. You can hold
Blessed Saviour pretty easily--but if you
overcommit production and forces to defense,
you won't have time to capture Song of Planet.
Spartans: You must balance speed with operational
considerations--trying to bypass Believer
strongholds could lead to having too long a supply
line, and a too-powerful defense by the
time you arrive in force. It might be better
to capture Lord's Grace, then stage your
invasion of the Objective from there. Keep in
mind that you might need to bleed off a small
number of forces to help the Gaians preserve
Song of Planet.
Gaians: You'll have a difficult time, but remember
that psi combat ignores defense factors.
Watch your rear for Hive incursions, and keep
your forces strong and together as you assault
the Believer Objective. Piecemeal attacks are
doomed to fail!
Hive: You're on the periphery of the battle, but
if you marshall the right types of forces
(some cheap forces to battle mindworms, and regular
troops to face speeders and infantry)
and move quickly, you can capture Song of Planet
before time runs out. You'll have to count
on your Believer allies to hold on to Blessed
Saviour, but they can usually do it--though
a unit or two from you couldn't hurt, if you
can spare them.
Good luck, and let us know how you fare with this scenario!
