Clear Steps

The final matter of SC offers some unique challenges. First, make note of the nodes marked with a Green Skull and the vague gas effect. That area will expand every turn, and any Echelon standing in it will take Damage. This includes Hostages and AI M4. This can be a problem. Second, much like the previous map, we have a friendly Gustav. If you have been following these guides chapter to chapter you probably noticed I didn't mention it there, and that's because it sucks. 

The Friendly M4 is a bit of an idiot unfortunately and will sometimes move in slightly different ways than you expect. She's fairly powerful in combat, but the fights are tuned in such a way that she'll have a bad time if only a few things go wrong. Like her standing in the damaging tiles.

1.1

Deploy a Combat Echelon on both the Command Post and the Heavy Heliport. The Command Post Echelon should be capable of fighting Hydras. 

1.2

Move the Combat Echelon on the Heavy Heliport up one node, and deploy a Combat Echelon behind them. 

1.3

Move the Combat Echelon on the Command Post down one node, and SWAP with UMP 45.

1.4

Move the Upper Combat Echelon to the right one node. End your Turn.

2.1

Deploy a Dummy Echelon on the Command Post. You will need to SWAP the Combat team with 45 for vision, but make sure to return them to their original location.

2.2

Move the farthest right Combat Echelon to the right two more nodes, and SWAP with Kord. 

2.3

Move the Combat Echelon to the left two nodes, picking up Kord on the way.
