How to unlock the Pull Hard, Pull Deep achievement in Halo Wars - Definitive Guide

First off, even though it says "win and never trail," you can loose points, BUT you CANNOT go below the 40 mark. If you go below the 40 mark, you might as well start the match over. (I didn't really know that at first so I'm throwing it out there.)

I found it really easy to get this achievement on Chasms 1v1 with both you and the A.I. as Forge. The first (recommended) thing you should do is activate the skulls Catch, Sugar Cookies, Pain Train, Bountiful Harvest, and Emperor. Build a Warthog, immediately followed by Supply Pads and a Reactor to get your first few points. After that, upgrade your Warthogs to gunner and rush your enemy while continuing to keep cranking out more Warthogs for even more points. With those skulls on, there's a lesser chance your Warthogs will die and therefore you wont loose as many points, if at all. As long as you keep this up, you shouldn't fall below 40, so just keep at 'em and after about 5 minutes the achievement will be yours!

UPDATE: "For first time players, the meter is Positive to the right and Negative to the left," thanks to Wanderer128 for the comment.

You need a DLC to get this achievement. (I hate when they do that)

You should note that for first time players, that the meter is Positive to the right and Negative to the left. I didn't realize I was winning at first....

So, the third time I did it on Barrens with no skulls and it popped. Go figure.

Did work well after a couple of missed attempts. Reactor first thing, then at least one supply before you upgrade your guns. I did Forge v. Forge on Chasms easy buff skulls on FTW. Thanks!

Turned on every good skull and played as Forge versus Anders. By the time I upgraded my warthog with gauss cannons, the enemy had one warthog left with no combat capability and I didn't even need to kill it. I just won the game and got the achievement when I found it.

You can do this with two people,a friend of the person wanting the achievement just quit the game shortly after starting as long as the person wanting the achievement points does not fall below 40

Good guide, got it less than 5 minutes with this method and just kept building warthogs to put on pressure faster.

Me and my buddy started out trying to boost this, and the brilliant idea of him resigning while I was ahead dawned upon him. So simply start up a 1v1 Tug of War game and make sure your buddy doesn't do anything and you simply can build your leader and some Warehouses and you'll notice in the top right corner of your screen that the bar is past the mid point and favoring more towards the right (meaning you're winning). As long as you see it over even a little bit, have your buddy quit out and Voila! One of the four new achievements is now yours. : )

Put a skirmish game on easy, any commander works really and just go for a boom strategy. Upgrade warthogs and put up turrets, then just spam warthogs and you will eventually win without ever attempting to attack the enemy base. I found that Blood Gulch works well for this.

This doesn't work against covenant because they build a temple and get their leader which puts them in the lead. Just a heads up. Great guide otherwise. Worked for me.

Excellent solution. This is the best way to do it if you're playing against AI.

Again, play as the Arbiter, with your opponent being Cutter and the AI set to Easy. Choose the map Chasms, build a temple and two supply pads ASAP, and then have your Ghost attack the enemy base ASAP as well. Destroy the Warthog, so it cannot gather supplies. Follow it if needs be.

When the warthog is gone, have the Ghost attack the (probably only) building the enemy has, (make sure it's a reactor). By this time your Arbiter should be ready and on his way to help destroy Cutter's base. If Cutter starts to build supply pads, focus all your attention on that, do not give him a chance to get supplies. Make sure his supply pads do not complete their building cycle. If he starts building something, have Arbiter trash it up before it completes! If the enemy Warthog is destroyed, and the enemy base as well, you are victorious and are granted this achievement.
