Defeat the Black Widow in this epic boss battle!
Debugged.
Wow great, tough map! Plenty of room to build. Just enough time to get defences ready. And getting a foothold on the "spider" is in the top 5. Excellent map, thanks!!

I didn't find the spider hard to get onto. Strafers on a foot, a PZ-bertha shot to clear out most of the creeper and then the bombers on the leg. That kept the creeper at bay long enough to nullify a foot and then it's PZ took out the rest of the feet on that side. Getting defenses up in time at the start was another matter, though.
An enjoyable battle.
I actually found this one frustrating. Berthas to disarm the runner's nest, more berthas to kill of all the bugs, and they still take forever. And when I am finally ready to land, a tendril of digitalis reconnects the runner's nest. >:(
3 PZ enabled berthas maintained the runner nest clear of digitalis.

What's the problem? Once took a set of legs as described above I guppied in plenty of power and started pushing. Add plenty of snipers. Sure there was some stunning but not enough to be a big deal. Once I had the body I built up a small base there before taking the tail.
