Surprising Outflanking

The battle for this large country has been bitter and bloody. Loosing half of their army
the F.N.U. forces (metallic units) have almost completed the conquest cornering the remnants of
the League’s Bio-T regiments (the upper left part of the screen). They are about to finish
remaining Bio-T’s. But unexpectedly the League discloses its Secret Ally, immediately engaging
the F.N.U.’s right flank. Completely outflanked and already engaged from the rear (see those long Bio-T’s track
traces on the ground) the invaders have found themselves in a very difficult situation -
they can neither withdraw nor break through the enemy ranks. As you can see, they are losing the rear-rank
Launchers and soon the Mortars and Heavy Bots will be engaged from behind - the total annihilation will happen
in just a couple of turns.
This example clearly illustrates how keeping your Secret Ally undisclosed for a long time can dramatically help.
If the Phantom League’s general were not patient enough and disclosed that country when
the battle for the country started, the F.N.U. wouldn’t carry such heavy losses and most probably would
hold their advance earlier - regrouping to cover their right flank properly or they could just wait for the
additional reinforcements - in any case, the F.N.U. contingent would not be caught by
surprise and would do something to survive.
