For this map, we have our first (probably) night map of the event. We're tasked with rescuing a bunch of hostages and getting to the other side of the map to fuck with an Ares mech. We got a fair bit of decently difficult military units to deal with as well. The first few fights aren't exactly the easiest to deal with with an RF squad, but most of the enemies on the map sport units with extremely high armour values, so we'll have to make do. Thankfully, we can repair easily while we're still early on. Let's get started.

To start with, we want to deploy an RF echelon on the left Heavy Heliport and a HOC on the right Heavy Heliport. Move the RF over to the left and deploy another RF echelon. Swap the HOC and your second RF echelon and move the second RF echelon down one node. Deploy a dummy echelon on the now-empty Heliport and have it parachute over to the Heliport in the top half of the map that we have vision on. Lastly, move your first RF echelon down one node to fight the Kratos. End the turn. The fights will be kinda rough, but you should be able repair before taking on any more enemies. 

On turn two, move your first RF echelon up. Swap with your HOC if you need to repair and do so. Swap it back when you're done. Deploy another HOC on the right Heavy Heliport and then have your second RF echelon engage the other Kratos below it. Move your first RF echelon up and engage the Aegis. Move your first HOC to the left one node, then move your other HOC to the left one node as well. Swap your first RF echelon with Maggie, then move it up to engage the Lycaon. After, move that echelon to the right to take out the last enemy on that side of the map. End the turn.

On turn three, it's hostage rescue time. Move your first RF echelon up one node, then left. Grab the explosive then rescue M9. Move to the right two nodes, then down one node. Swap with your dummy echelon and secure the first hostage. Swap back, then swap with Colt Revolver. Before rescuing her, drop an explosive on the rubble below you. You can now rescue Colt, then swap to the Heliport again to secure her. Move Maggie up one node, then right one node. End the turn.

On turn four, we can finish up the map. First, use your second RF echelon and swap with M1911, then rescue her. Move your echelon back to the right Heavy Heliport to secure her. We can now go over to the Ares mech to finish off the map. Use Maggie and move her to the top right, through the rubble we destroyed last turn. Keep going until you see the Ares mech. Move to it and have her use her skill on it, which will clear the map.
