Mission 3 and 7 can be cheesed with HQ caps via just sneaking towards their base with an infantry unit in an APC. Admittedly this is a bit tricky with Mission 3 since you have to bait the recon into attacking your initial APC from below, but you can increase the odds by dropping your infantry momentarily on the Northern most city on that map.
If the recon takes the bait you can then reload your infantry into the APC and make your way into the woods to a position that can't be reached by the nearby mech nor the recon because it's to far away. Though if creating another APC at your southern starting factory influences where the AI attacks is unknown to me. I didn't test the map enough to work out if the recon's position is manipulated by this or not.
At any rate after getting into the woods it's a straight shot through the woods and down the road to the HQ since capturing units won't stop their caps to take out the weakened APC and due to how units are spawned on that map you should be able to place your damaged APC on the enemy's factory near their HQ. The one infantry unit close enough to respond will then spend it's time attacking your APC as you cap the HQ. And any other units that could try to get their in time just ignore the issue and move towards Sami's base.
Unfortunately while I'm currently doing videos for this game again. Those videos are going to be coming out in June so unless you want me to send you the file you'll have to wait a while to see the proof.
Though you can HQ sneak faster on Mission 7. In fact, you can finish it in 7 Days using the APC rush strategy. This is mainly because the enemy seems to really hate APCs for some reason. I assume it's a nod to "Advance Wars" on the GBA.
Sometimes, when I reply to messages, I had to switch to another app. The moment I open browser again - progress is completely lost. Simply my fault. I'll try proper emulator next time
Unfortunately I lost the source code for version 1.1 so this is 1.0 which is nearly identical except it's missing a couple small bug fixes. It should be playable though.
^ This used to have an game spinoff that was one giant map and property editor but since it was multiplayer the spinoff was shut down due to the costs. You can still play the Batallion OFFICIAL series if you have an emulator such as ruffle. Need some light training wheels or just looking for a casual experience? This has you covered with passive hacks, keyhacks, or a hackbar.

Game is awesome. Too bad my mobile browser won't allow me finish final mission.
Thanks! That's weird... Why not?

That's interesting . . .
It should save your progress in your browser.
can we get the multicart p8 version? I'd love to play the full version offline
Sure thing! It's available here: https://github.com/lambdanaut/picowars

Enjoy!
Amazing, thank you so much! Really looking forward to this :)

I finally beat the game
I, for one, am ecstatic to hear 👉️👈️
i'd love to se new features implemented. Maybe an map editor, along with an solo option to play the map you're editing, as well as an expert option.
