Opening and advance
Start along the clearer lower-right side. Watch where the diagonal band exits near the left spawn before advancing into its middle.
Solo defence and local co-op
Maintain a fallback below the woodland. In co-op, cover opposite ends of the band; neither tank should assume that the other can see through it.
Common mistake
A long chase along the forest diagonal can distract both players from a tank emerging at the opposite end.

The roster is fixed; movement, firing, spawn timing and the visible battle develop during play. The sequence is not a scripted route or a promised pickup location.
Sources and verification
Decoded from the stage-numbered Battle City (J) disassembly (listed ROM CRC32 F599A07E). Compared against two other data representations; source differences are retained in the verification record. Advice is editorial map analysis, not an original-ROM play-through. Tank 1990 correspondence has not been established.
