How to unlock the Gallivant around the Galaxy achievement in Halo Wars - Definitive Guide

Another way, and the way i did it was this:

1) Skirmish, deathmatch, 1v1, Easy AI.
2) Be a Human leader, who you Vs is up to you, i just left both Alpha and Bravo teams on the default each time.
3) As soon as the match starts build/queue 14 warthogs, take your first warthog that is already built for you, send it right to the enemy base and attack it. These warthogs have the gauss cannon and a grenadier in the passenger seat. So double the fire power.
4) When you hear the voice over say something about a warthog being built/ready, press the bumper to select all units, and make them attack the base. Keep your ear out for the voice over and you'll have several warthogs attacking the base in no time.
5) This part is up to you. Usually it seems one base close to the enemy base is empty, if you want, take one of the warthogs attacking the enemy base to go search for a close empty one, build on it, then queue up more warthogs, and take the explorer back to the attack. (Then repeat step 4 over and over again).

This takes 2-3 minutes per map, keep an eye on your hogs to see if they are being attacked as sometimes Arbiter sends some guys out to kill you. Most of the time the match will end in a win right after the base is destroyed, sometimes however an enemy slips out the back, if this is the case take a quick look around the immediate area and kill whoever you find.

Don't think so since it's an achievement that came with the game.......but just do all non dlc levels first and if it doesn't unlock do the dlc ones as well i guess?

to make life easier, just put your global rally point in front of the enemies base and the warthogs do the rest.

You can check which maps you have won on if you select "Options and Extras" from the main menu, and then "Service Record." Then just hit RB and it will show your Skirmish stats.

Won on each map twice now, but no achievement. This is such bullcrap. I'll try for 3 wins, but i'm done with this if it doesn't work.

I've found that, at the end of the match, the victory music doesn't play until you hit A to review the match statistics. There may be something to that for everyone who is having issues getting these achievements to unlock, because mine popped up right on time -- hit A at the end of the match to open the stats screen, then scroll through to the end with RB before exiting.

SoH Anarchy's tip about moving the global rally point does save a bit of effort. Double-click the left stick to move the rally point and the warthogs will drive there on their own when they spawn. The only other thing I'd like to add is make sure you don't lose the enemy's ghost or you're going to spend a long time hunting for it.

Also, building 14 warthogs is excessive. The eighth warthog never made it to the base before the match ended on every map, so you only need to build 6.

You can get this achievement by playing a skirmish on Xbox LIVE with a friend on the other team.

As soon as the game starts just have them resign, you get the win for the map instantly and you don't have to waste 5 to 10 minutes on each map.

The DLC maps don't count towards the achievement so you can just skip those. (They are the ones with the star next to the name when you are picking the map)

I did find that sometimes you can win on every map and it still won't give you the achievement, this can happen no matter what guide you use for this achievement. To get around this play as the same leader for every map, it always seems to work.

I can't believe it lets you put a comment up on your own solution.

Worked perfectly for me. Did everything in a Private match in case people are wondering. I had already won on Blood Gulch and Chasm so I skipped those 2 as I ran through the maps but it didn't pop until I did them again. Most likely I was using a different leader so I'd say that advice is correct as well. Thanks!

Do a 1 vs 1 match choose the prophet and set the difficulty on easy and the mode on deathmatch.

build a temple and if its done go to the base of the enemy and destroy it.
If the enemy use a distruption bomb go to the back of the base and destroy it there.

If u do this 14 times the achievement pop-up.

this is an easy 4 step process.
1.start with the prophet.
2.build a temple
3. send the prophet and the ghost you start with to the enemy base
(its too early in the game for your enemy to have another base so dont worry about that)
4. use the prophet's power beam thing on the base until its destroyed

the ghost will protect the prophet this only takes like 2-3 minutes to win by doing this strategy. also put it on easy and repeat this process on every map. another thing, DEATHMATCH NOT STANDARD!!!

Ok we all know how to get this, but i found it's a bit glitchy it didn't unlock for me first time around, so i played through all maps again with the same leader. Once i won every map twice i got it.
Not as much a guide as some pointers i looked everywhere but found no solution so i hope this helps.

I found the best way to do this was in 1v1's on all of the maps even if they are 2v2 or 3v3 maps, Have the match set to Deathmatch, not standard as you will have every upgrade ready as soon as you bring up a building, Have the difficulty set to easy, play as SGT. Forge, and play against Captain Cutter, build 2 vehicle factorys straight away plus build 2 warthogs in the first factory build three grizzlys and in the second 1, put the three grizzlys as soon as the first factory is up, then rush to the base with the 3 warthogs and 4 grizzlys and kill everything, most of the time all he brings out is a elephant so its real easy to finish, should take a maximum of 5 mins per map.

Hope this helps

Again, easiest done on skirmish mode while going for "Playin' The Field" There are 14 different skirmish maps. 5 are 1v1, 6 are 2v2 and 3 are 3v3.
