'''Showdown at Big Honshu''' is the fourth level in the [[Battalion Wars 2]] campaign.

== Intel ==
Move out to the [[Helipad]] near the waterfall, and send the distress signal to call in [[Assault Veteran|Assault Vet]] reinforcements. Follow the path, and take out the {{anglo}} [[Bazooka Veteran|Bazooka Vets]]. Activate the second Helipad, near the ruins, to call in the {{BWs|Recon}}. The player now has 6 minutes to reach the enemy base, liberate the Munitions Expert, and destroy the three Anglo Missile Silos. Use the Map Screen to locate the Gold Star, and roll out. Jump the ramp at top speed to reach the other side of the river, and jump the next bridge to land inside the Anglo base. Shoot out the Ammo Dump to liberate the Munitions Expert, and shoot out the Ammo Dump near the wall to blow open an escape route.

Roll out to the next Gold Star, the first Missile Silo. The Munitions Expert will jump out of the {{BWs|Recon}}, set the charges, and jump back in, so head out and follow the Gold Stars to reach the second Missile Silo. Clear out the enemies first, and the Munitions Expert will set the second round of charges. Head out towards the third Missile Silo, eliminate the [[Bazooka Veteran|Bazooka Vets]], and set the third round of charges. Get to the next Gold Star, and leave the Munitions Expert at the base. Take control of the {{solar|Imperial}} [[Heavy Tank]], enter the HQ, and take out the {{anglo}} forces near the entrance with help from [[Admiral A-Qira]]'s personal {{BWs|Battleship}}. Blow up the two [[Light Tank]]s, and raise the Solar flag to complete the mission.
