High Seas Duel is a side challenge in Commander's Challenge.

Briefing

The Imperial Commander Takara has issued a formal duel, following the old traditions of the Empire of the Rising Sun, and is waiting to do battle against you here in the middle of the sea... She must like you! At any rate, she seems to know our gambit at this point, and has anted up with the Empire's own Shogun Battleship. You wouldn't want to disappoint her now, so please proceed with care. The technology found in the Shogun Battleships' cannons will be an excellent acquisition.

Overview

• This mission takes place on Trench Warfare, an exclusively ocean map. Therefore, all infantry (except engineers obtained by selling the construction yard) and transformable ground vehicles are unavailable.
• Takara will continuously harass your base with Yari mini-subs.

Strategy

• The easiest way to finish under par time is a dolphin rush as the Allies (optionally aided by Hydrofoils to disable Yari Mini-Subs and Defender-VX turrets, if they exist). Build a power plant, an ore refinery, and a seaport, then set the rally point to Takara's base at the northeastern corner of the map and queue up as many dolphins as possible. When they arrive, Takara should only have undeployed Defender-VX cores and Yari mini-subs. Destroy them and demolish her base before she has the chance to tech up.
