Operation Nautilus is the seventeenth level in the Battalion Wars 2 campaign.

Intel[edit | edit source]

Marshal Nova has had enough of these Xylvanian invaders, and unleashes the all-conquering Dreadnought, the TTS Potemkin. Begin by sending in the Frigates to sink the enemy Submarine, and use the Dreadnought to obliterate the RPG Towers on the first island. Follow the coastline and prepare the Frigates for a Gunship assault. Destroy another few RPG Towers, then send in the Submarines to sink the enemy Battleship. Blow up the last of the RPG Towers, and a second Battleship moves within range. Avoid sending in the Subs this time, as it is accompanied by Frigate support. Advance along the western shores and sink any remaining Battleships and Frigates. Keep the Frigates close, because there is always a chance of another Gunship attack. Continue to the north to complete the first three Primary Objectives. The only naval threat left is an Xylvanian Dreadnought; order the entire fleet to attack, and it will soon rest beneath the waves.

With the first part of the mission over, the player now begins a ground-based assault. Take out the approaching Acid Gas Vets, and shoot down the Gunships with the Anti-Air Vets. Roll out with the Light Tank and shoot out the MG Nests. Liberate the Mortar Vet POWs, and use them to finish clearing out the area. Take out the enemy Grunts ahead, and keep the Anti-Air Vets close in case of another Gunship attack. Head to the northwest, where a group of Tundran POWs are being held. Destroy the MG Towers with the Light Tank, then eliminate the Acid Gas Vets here. Take out the MG Nests, then liberate the Grunts, Light Tanks, and Anti-Air Vets. Remember to knock over the tents nearby for MediPaks and Jerry Cans.

The next step is to move eastward, to the Xylvanian base. Blow up the two MG Towers near the entrance and any Gunships nearby. Clear out the Acid Gas Vets, then send the infantry to take out the enemy Bazooka Vets. Follow the winding path through the fortress, then take out another group of Acid Gas Vets and a group of Bazooka Vets. Check the Map Screen to find a few more Acid Gas Vets, waiting to ambush the advancing Tundrans. Use the Light Tanks to destroy another MG Tower, then eliminate the Grunts ahead. Shoot down the Gunship hovering overhead, and send in the infantry to take out the nearby Bazooka Vets. Send the Tanks to annihilate the two Anti-Air Towers, clear out the remaining Grunts, and activate the Helipad. The Munitions Experts will quickly deploy explosives around the rest of Kaiser Vlad's Dreadnoughts, leaving the fleet in twisted ruins. Mission Complete.
