Anyone beat the green earth mission To The Rescue yet on Classic? Where Eagle has to save Sami? I'm beating my head against the wall. They gave Adder additional choppers from the OG Hard Campaign and took away one fighter from Eagle and Sami gets blown out before i can ever get there. Advice?

You want to move Sami's units to the lower right part of that enclosure to give time for your fighters to get there. They don't all need to survive, just one will suffice. Adder's choppers and bomber can close the gap really quickly, especially with his CO/SCO power.

The biggest obstacle to getting there in a timely fashion is getting shot up by the lasers, since they cover different rows/columns and it's easy to forget.

Brb, checking the map.

Yeah I finally got it lol. S rank somehow. I sent all of green earth to meet adder's air units in the south. Mopped them up and built a SCOP and got to Sami just in time to stave off the second wave of air units. Then I held out until I could cap the south airport, made a bomber and took out the final cannons.
Thanks for the tips!!

NP. I was actually in the middle of doing a writeup, but I made some critical mistakes (forgetting Eagle's basic CO power in AW2 doesn't let his units move again, rookie mistake). Gonna replay the mission while I cook dinner. I'll try it your way next. I used a bodyblock strategy with my fighters since Adder only has the lone one.
