Tips
  • Get to 5 steel miners as fast as you can.
  • Don't place Sentries to close to each other.
  • Use you Airstrike Ability before reaching 90% Fuel.
  • Listen to your buddy on where bombers come from, shoot them down before they can hurt you or your sentries!
  • Triangular Tactic:
    where one turret gets placed at the very front, like the tip of a triangle and two base points which are now sentries support it. this means that damage is going to be spread out and tanks gets melted quickly under combined firepower. also helps you to inch forward by placing new turrets in between 2 triangles to make another triangle, which makes another protective layer. (Tip by: ProxyDragoon)

Got any Tips? or suggestions? feel free to let me know!

Just some extra info for those curious:
Miner: 30 Metal
Most Turrets: 10 Metal and 10 Energy
MLRS: 10 metal to place, 10 Energy to turn it on (single use)
Turret upgrade: 30 Metal
Miner yield on energy: 50/per miner
Yield on Metal: err... not too sure. 8 per miner?
Not checked the time it takes for miners on metal and fuel to yield yet.
(Thanks for this guide. Helped a lot when I was starting)
