I just want to say thank you again to the person that mentioned Overruns. What a difference that made!

I started with 5 SHVY at the top left deployment limit. 10 HVY at the right bottom limit, and 10 GEVs all starting on the rail.

The SHVYs plowed through the Mk1s, ignoring the ridges and smoking them, then overran the north CP. After that they ate a lot of firepower from the Mk5, but their mission was already accomplished. One made it to the west road and headed for the west CP.

The HVYs roared for the southeast CP, quickly neutered the Mk3, and kept it engaged. This was actually the last CP to die, since the HVYs spent most of their time on the Mk3.

Meanwhile the GEVs burned along the rail almost unchallenged (I think I lost one to the Mk3), overran the south CP, the southwest CP the next turn, and the west CP on the following turn (though the last SHVY was in range on the same turn). I took this screenshot before my HVY kills the southeast CP for the win.
