    A very simple way of getting this would be boosting with a friend, but beware of the hidden minimum timer requirement for a match to count--I've had it many times when the other team quits/resigns under 2 minutes into a game, I get no credit for winning!

    The preferred solo method:(credit to The GTA Guy 69 I think for discovering this?)
    Load up a skirmish deathmatch against the AI with these settings:
    Fog of War: Off
    Resources: 9999
    Skulls: AFTER PARTY(required!), gives you a tank and infantry everytime you lose a base(including recycling a base lol)
    AI: easy, any leader
    Your Leader: Kinsano

    As soon as the match starts, build on every build point so the AI can't, then just keep recycling and rebuilding the closest mini-base to the AI's homebase to get the bonus tanks. If necessary, you can recycle multiple minibases to speed the tank spawning up!

    Once you hit your population cap, send all the tanks at the AI, and micro-manage them a little to destroy things nicely.
    The AI will probably try to build on any mini-bases that aren't yours, so make sure to keep them all built! Destroying an AI minibase simply gives the AI a tank, so avoid that.

    TwobbyThat's a dirty tactic. I like it.

    Shadow 00 FoxYep, lol. I forgot to add credit for I think who discovered it, GTA guy 69. It's quite entertaining and very useful in some campaign missions even!

    Blue265So I have played about 5 matches now as Kinsano in skirmish, with different AI levels, maps and game modes, but I still don't have the achievement. Have they changed this so custom matches no longer count? Or is there something I'm missing.
    Edit: yes I do win all the matches, and also I'm playing on PC

    Shadow 00 FoxCan you see if you have any achievement progress? The thing that comes to mind is that it's possibly glitchy on PC, so many of these achievements have been finicky!
    It shouldn't make a difference about custom matches, but can you at least try playing some coop Blitz to test it out--you should be able to win if you have a decent partner, and spam the good stuff.
    Unfortunately, there's no other tips I have at this point, simply because there's been so many glitchy/delayed achievements in HW2. cry
