Ugh, the slog's almost over, finally made it to the enemy base. We're playing the Domination ruleset, so there are three conditions for victory - rout or HQ capture, as always, or by capturing 75% of the properties on the map. The enemy is still well-funded and is turtling up, so it's a toss-up if the win will come by rout or by domination.
And that's it! Victory by rout on turn 49.
I've played this map often, on all the titles in the series, and this has been the most interesting battle I've had on it. The enemy CO, "Billy Gates" has a special ability - they get an extra 10,000 income every turn, which is how they were able to field such a powerful force so early in the game. The only thing to do was to flood the map with cheap units and stall them until I could afford powerful units of my own.
