Aha!
Game's been posted about a minute and a half and already someone did a rage-quit/"1" rating.
Shucks, I'll at least try it a couple of times before rating it a 1.

Shucks! You win that round.

I'm sitting there with all the power and defense in the world, plus a whole heap of Big Bertha's, but can't figure out the next step.
I'll wait a couple of days and ask for a hint.

Another amazing challenge.

Thanks!  Got it in one try but may go back to get a better time.  Took me a while to figure out the secret of this one.  Cut time in half, not the fastest possible, but much easier on the replay.

Heh!
Coffee and a little extra time.
I just figured out how to beat "X 4", but taking me a while to finish it.

While beating on "X 4", I had a brainstorm (or what passes for one).
Followed the old advice of "eliminate the impossible", and the answer was simple.
Devious mind PH.
But fun!

I don't get it.  We are stuck on the initial island, no air, no place you can land another CN, no way to bridge off the island.

Perhaps there's something with the singularity & anti-creeper but that's  just a trick.

If I remember correctly:

Spoiler
There are some very small black islands for connecting the land masses. Just big enough for a relay.

You are not under much threat at the start so build up power and upgrades.

I think I built about 6 berthas and then set them to fire one after the other with a short gap betwen each one. This is a good tactic on a lot of PH maps as the frst bertha pops the runners and then the following berthas can be used to clear up the mess. Berthas are key to getting over and then cannons with a bit of range to keep the digalis back.

PH's maps are tough though so good luck on any one of them!

Tough because the emitters don't do anything near 2/0.33!
