How to unlock the Gallivant around the Galaxy achievement

    Another way, and the way i did it was this:

    1) Skirmish, deathmatch, 1v1, Easy AI.
    2) Be a Human leader, who you Vs is up to you, i just left both Alpha and Bravo teams on the default each time.
    3) As soon as the match starts build/queue 14 warthogs, take your first warthog that is already built for you, send it right to the enemy base and attack it. These warthogs have the gauss cannon and a grenadier in the passenger seat. So double the fire power.
    4) When you hear the voice over say something about a warthog being built/ready, press the bumper to select all units, and make them attack the base. Keep your ear out for the voice over and you'll have several warthogs attacking the base in no time.
    5) This part is up to you. Usually it seems one base close to the enemy base is empty, if you want, take one of the warthogs attacking the enemy base to go search for a close empty one, build on it, then queue up more warthogs, and take the explorer back to the attack. (Then repeat step 4 over and over again).

    This takes 2-3 minutes per map, keep an eye on your hogs to see if they are being attacked as sometimes Arbiter sends some guys out to kill you. Most of the time the match will end in a win right after the base is destroyed, sometimes however an enemy slips out the back, if this is the case take a quick look around the immediate area and kill whoever you find.

    Mobius EvalonI've found that, at the end of the match, the victory music doesn't play until you hit A to review the match statistics. There may be something to that for everyone who is having issues getting these achievements to unlock, because mine popped up right on time -- hit A at the end of the match to open the stats screen, then scroll through to the end with RB before exiting.

    SoH Anarchy's tip about moving the global rally point does save a bit of effort. Double-click the left stick to move the rally point and the warthogs will drive there on their own when they spawn. The only other thing I'd like to add is make sure you don't lose the enemy's ghost or you're going to spend a long time hunting for it.

    Also, building 14 warthogs is excessive. The eighth warthog never made it to the base before the match ended on every map, so you only need to build 6.

    You can get this achievement by playing a skirmish on Xbox LIVE with a friend on the other team.

    As soon as the game starts just have them resign, you get the win for the map instantly and you don't have to waste 5 to 10 minutes on each map.

    The DLC maps don't count towards the achievement so you can just skip those. (They are the ones with the star next to the name when you are picking the map)

    I did find that sometimes you can win on every map and it still won't give you the achievement, this can happen no matter what guide you use for this achievement. To get around this play as the same leader for every map, it always seems to work.

    Bill 13Worked perfectly for me. Did everything in a Private match in case people are wondering. I had already won on Blood Gulch and Chasm so I skipped those 2 as I ran through the maps but it didn't pop until I did them again. Most likely I was using a different leader so I'd say that advice is correct as well. Thanks!
