Endwar:Rovaniemi

Template:MapsThe air base at Rovaniemi maintains key communications and guidance systems for the European Federation's missile shields. It is a linchpin in European air and space defenses.

Assault & Conquest missions

Rovaniemi features an air base in the southwestern part of the map with forests surrounding it. While there are three uplinks outside of the base, they can take a while to get to due to the terrain - except for Lima for the battalion that deploys in the northwest. Therefore, focus on securing all five of the uplinks inside the base. Use combined arms to roll in and secure as many uplinks as you can as quickly as possible, starting with Alpha. Then make Alpha your new deployment zone to bring reinforcements right into the base.

At the start, get your force into the base as quickly as possible and focus on securing these uplinks rather than those outside the base.

Move the majority of your force to Alpha so you can secure it and then defend it against capture by the enemy.

Combined arms work well on this map. Keep your tanks, gunships, and transports close enough that they can support one another during the battle for the base.

During assault missions, after the initial engagement send some gunships to hover near the enemy's deployment zone. As soon as a hostile unit lands, attack it. Or if it is a unit of transports, withdraw and call in tanks or artillery to destroy them.

Raid mission

Template:OtherMap

The attacker should secure Sierra and Whiskey with riflemen and upgrade for air support. Meanwhile, send a force of tanks down the road to the south past Whiskey to enter the base from the east. Then destroy Alpha, followed by Zulu and Foxtrot. The defender should deploy a squad of riflemen and some gunships right at the start. Secure an uplink so you can bring in a tank and get air support while your gunship goes after hostile tanks rushing to attack your base. Let the sentry drones deal with hostile gunships. Position riflemen in the towers at the gates to deal with enemy infantry and to spot approaching vehicles so you can move your own units to respond.

Right at the start, both sides need to secure some uplinks. Not only can you use them for support, but you will need the command points for reinforcements.

As the defender, send out gunships to scout out enemy movement headed your way. When you find tanks by themselves, go ahead and attack.

Position riflemen in the towers to engage enemy infantry trying to enter the base.

As you detect hostile units approaching, send the correct units to defeat them using the combat chain.
