    To do this you need to get 3 stars in every challenge, some can be quite hard to do in the time so you'll need to be going as fast as you can. This solution will be a guide on how I did them and the time the solution got me. To get 3 stars you will need to be under the time provided with each challenge.

    1.
    Destroy 7 vehicles
    3 stars - 9 seconds
    When the timer starts point your right stick to the bottom left, when the timer is up you'll start shooting, when the vehicle is destroyed move to the next one which is directly left of you, keep going clockwise around until you destroy all of them.
    My time - 7.56 seconds

    2.
    Destroy 4 tanks
    3 stars 11 seconds
    When the timer ends, go to the one in the bottom left and shoot it until it gets destroyed but don't stop shooting as the next tank is right above it, while shooting that tank move towards it and it will get destroyed when you reach it. While still shooting aim towards the tank to the right of you and moves towards it, when you reach it's position and it's destroyed, start shooting the next one until it's destroyed.
    My time - 8.63 seconds

    3.
    Move 2 vehicles
    3 stars - 4 seconds
    As soon as you start move to the vehicle in the top left and in a fluid motion hold A and pick it up along with the other vehicle, you will now be holding both vehicles so without stopping go over to the drop zone in the bottom right and press A to release one vehicle and without stooping release the other in the drop zone above.
    My time - 3.13

    4.
    Move 4 generators
    3 stars - 9 seconds
    When you start go to the generator right in front of you and press A to pick it up and then go to the socket on the left and press A to place it, now following the anti-clockwise route go to the next generator and place it in the socket closest to it, keep going around the base until you've placed all generators in their nearest socket without stopping.
    My time - 4.39 seconds

    5.
    Capture 1 base
    3 stars - 12 seconds
    When you start go to the troops on the left and hold A to pick them all up, once they are all aboard your Mech fly over to the left base entrance and press A two times to release two of the troops, while they are going into the base go to the top entrance an place the last two troops when all troops enter the base it will be captured and the challenge is complete. The reason for doing this is when you place all four at one entrance they will usually clump up and take a long time to go in.
    My time - 10.03 seconds

    6.
    6 Upkeep
    3 stars - 20 seconds
    Press up on the D-pad to create troops, you can only have 5 things in your build queue at a time so once the troops have been built hold A to pick a few and press up on the D-pad again. You don't need to place the troops in the pads surrounding the base so go to the right and press A until all troops are offloaded, go back to pick the last of the troops and place these down to the side as well.
    My time - 6.63 seconds

    7.
    Capture 1 base
    3 stars - 18 seconds
    Go over to the enemy base change to your Mech form and start shooting the base while doing this press up on the D-pad four times to create troops, once all of the troops on the enemy base are destroyed transform back to flight mode, go over to your base and collect your troops by holding A. Make your way back to the enemy base and place two troops at two different entrances preferably the ones closest to you, once they enter the base the challenge is complete.
    My time - 16.33 seconds

    8.
    Destroy 12 enemy vehicles
    3 stars - 60 seconds
    When you start head over the to the turrets to the right and hold A to pick them up, place these closer to your base so they can destroy the incoming vehicles ( I placed them near the sockets). While they are destroying the vehicles, build 5 Gatty's and place in at the wooden entrance where the enemies come from until it's blocked and the tanks can't get through these will now start shooting at the tanks, now turn into you Mech and shoot them until they are all destroyed.
    My time - 36.46 seconds

    9.
    Destroy 36 enemy vehicles
    3 stars - 45 seconds
    Once you start change to Mech form and go into the pit to the left to destroy the 4 vehicles, now go back up to destroy the enemies coming from the right go clockwise round the map destroying all enemies until you reach the stone bridge at the bottom, go over the bridge and destroy all enemies coming towards you, these enemies and the enemies your troops at the base have destroy will complete the challenge.
    My time - 24.56 seconds

    10.
    Capture 2 bases
    28 seconds
    Pick up the the Gatty to the right of the base as soon as you start and place it on the bridge to the right of their base, this will kill all of their soldiers coming in from there now change to your Mech and start attacking the enemy base when the soldiers on their base are killed, your troops will have already captured the other base, just build another soldier to make four and place him at an entrance of the now neutral base.
    My time - 23.99 seconds

    11.
    Capture 5 bases
    3 stars - 60 seconds
    Pick up you soldiers from the pit in front of you and capture the base, now build 4 soldiers and capture the neutral base on the left of the map, build another 4 soldiers and capture the neutral base on the right of the map. Now destroy all soldiers on the enemy base on the left, create 4 soldiers of your own and capture it. Finally, ignore the tanks get rid of the enemy soldiers on the base on the right, create another 4 soldiers and capture it by going round the back of it to ensure the tanks don't kill your soldiers.
    My time - 46.33

    12.
    Destroy 18 enemy vehicles
    3 stars - 120 seconds
    Start by destroying the vehicles to the left and make your way round the map in a clockwise fashion destroying all vehicles along the way not forgetting to destroy the tank on the wooden tower, you will finish at enemy base but will not have kill the soldiers in it. All vehicle will be easy to destroy and you will level up while destroy them so there will be no reason to re-energize at a base, there is also no point in capturing the neutral base on left.
    My time - 20.63 seconds

    13, 14 and 15
    Win the game
    3 stars - 10 minutes
    When the game starts sell all the generators attached to your fortress and replace them with Moneymakers, when that's done start building longhorns and sending them to capture bases and your fortress will make soldiers on it's own which will go to capture the bases but you can build soldiers on your own to speed the process, you an also assist the longhorns by killing the troops on the bases, while doing this you will level up, buy whatever abilities preferably the Guns ability and the guardian ability to give you extra fire power and damage. Once all bases are captured send all longhorns to attack the enemy fortress, start shooting at the fortress as well and keep going back to the nearest base the re-energize and if you want you can build more longhorns to attack their fortress. This method should work for all three challenges but if you are having trouble with any of them tell me in the comments below and I will make a solution for each of them.
    My time:
    13 - 4 minutes 22 seconds
    14 - 5 minutes 10 seconds
    15 - 8 minutes 23 seconds

    I hope this helped you get this achievement, if you had any trouble with any of the challenges please tell me in the comments and I will try help the best I can.

    PDwizzleChallenge 13 is no longer a win the game challenge. It is a capture challenge now. Start off by holding B and fly over the Jackals and press Up on the D-pad. Pick up your soldiers and fly past the base and drop them. Change from fly mode to ground mode and start attacking the base. The Jackals will start coming up to help. I completed in 25 seconds.

    YOOPER 906Karachi King is right. On Challenge #10 the AI are too strong and walk right passed the turret that I place on the bridge. My troops are also killed off too fast.

    Challenge 13 has been updated. I've posted a video I found; however if you want a text description:

    Once the challenge starts, do what the starting tip suggests. Select the Jackel units by flying over them while holding (B), and then order them to capture the building by pressing up on the D-Pad.

    Next, scoop up the infantry by holding (A) as you fly over them, and then proceed to the far right of the map.

    Once you get to the right of the base, press the Left Trigger five times (four times to drop the infantry, and then once more to transform to robot mode), and start attacking the base by pushing the right stick to the left (don't pull the right trigger, the AirMech doesn't have a secondary attack and you'll just waste time). While attacking, stay as close to the right side of the base in the center as you can so the missile tanks cannot hit you (they will tear you up damn fast if you let them).

    In case you had a misconception about attacking bases like I did, you don't need to shoot the guys poking their heads out of the corners of the base. You just need to shoot the base and the soldiers will automagically take damage, so you don't need to move once the two on the right side are dead.

    I was able to pull this off on my second try once I found this video with 27.84 seconds. 28 seconds or less is required for three stars.

    ChronovoreThanks for adding this. I had tried this mission with mine and the other players’ solutions a couple dozen times, to no avail. I got it with yours.

    Challenger: 45 Stars

    1st Trial:
    Use your left and right analog stick to fire and destroy the enemies, to get 3 stars you need high accuracy, I started with the bottom left one and made my way around

    2nd Trial: You need to quickly destroy the 4 enemies, I started with the upper left corner one, then the one below that one, then the one to the left, then the one up

    3rd Trial: You need to pick the vehicles up with the A button then drop them off at the designated spots. Hold A to pick up both at the same time

    4th Trial: Take the helecoptor and place the stationary units in the sockets with the A button. I started from the top and did a clockwise circle placing them in.

    5th Trial: Pick all 4 infantry running in a row by holding A then manually tap A at each side of the grey building.

    6th Trial: Build units by pushing up on the D-pad and quickly picking up the units with the A button and placing them on each block.

    7th Trial: You must build units to capture the enemy building, what I did was build the fast running units and place them next to my building, then flew over to the enemy one and went into ground mode(RT), use the analog sticks to quickly destroy the enemy units garisoned in the building and the fast guys will run in and capture it.

    8th Trial: Defend your base! This one is easy, build alot of things it doesnt matter, pick them up and throw them on the ground around your base.

    9th Trial: Another Defend your base! Go into ground mode with your mech with RT and use your analog stick to Melee the enemies!

    10th Trial: You need to capture both structures, to get the second structure in under 28 seconds I grabbed the planted turret thats next to the Greyed out base after filling my Que with the speed runners plant it in the doorway of the back of the enemy base, went into ground mode and killed 3 of the guys in the base, back into air mode grabbed the guys that were built at my base, dropping them off on the ground on the way to the enemy base and killed the last guy capturing and finishing in 26 seconds.

    11th Trial: Capturing all the bases, fill the Que with speed guys, once captured, pick them up, drop them at the grey base above, then while quing up again with fast guys go into ground mode killing all enemies in the upper base, grab the new guys and throw them on the ground capturing the upper base. Go into ground mode again and kill the final enemies at the left base, then drop the fast guys off to capture the final base.

    12th Trial: Go into ground mode and kill the enemies, this is easy as you have a mech minigun....

    13th Trial: Finish the enemy's base, capturing the base in the middle I build tanks non stop pick up 2 at a time and dropping them off closer and closer until I was at his base dropping tanks on top of it until it was destroyed, kill that enemy Mech alot, he can be annoying. (dont forget when picking up your tanks and using left on the D-pad to drop them will tell them to attack the enemy base)

    14th Trial: Same Method as the 13th trial, went from bottom base to main base

    15th Trial: Same Method as the last 2
