Tried many times - any small hint??? ;-)

Spoiler
The runners in the fourth line above base have AC inside - use cannon to start chainreaction

...  But even then it's still difficult

How do you get a chain reaction?  You kill the first group to show up and you also kill the digitalis.  The nest shuts down, the chain reaction dies out.  All the AC is gone before it reconnects.  I've managed to trigger it twice before I died, but it didn't do any good.

as you can see from the scores, my solution is probably not the fastest. But that's how I originally designed the map.

Spoiler
Place a cannon on point one to put out the digitalis leading south.

then a sniper on point 2 to take out the runners. you may have to fly back and forth several times.

Thanks for the clues.
I might give this another try later.

Did you have to sacrifice that Sniper to kill enough AC bugs?

Thanks,

Once you get the bugs popping, the map becomes easier.
Spoiler
I Used a sniper to start popping them. Eventually the digitalis joined up from the east and the bugs started escaping. So I used a terp to make a place for the sniper to keep the reaction going

Spoiler
There is a hidden power zone just west of the starting point. A reactor there helps the energy situation

Spoiler
I don't usually use such hidden PZ... but it's Easter...
nevertheless you do not need this PZ.
