Walkthrough

1
Deploy your construction yard immediately. Build a power plant and an ore refinery.
2
Focus on controlling the large ore field directly north of your starting position and the large one directly east of your starting position.
3
Defend the north side of your base with pillboxes and turrets placed over the ridge above your base, chaining them up to block the small entrance to the northern ore field.
4
Use your tank unit to defend the eastern ore field.
5
Defend the upper-right corner of your base with a few pillboxes to counter Soviet infantry attempts to enter.
6
Keep a few spare tanks within your base for immediate defense.
7
Once you have a tech center and your satellite has been launched, locate the small Soviet base in the north-east corner of the map.
8
Build a few chopper pads and use them to attack the Soviet airfields.
9
Scout the main Soviet base using your satellite to identify its defenses, which include Tesla Coils, flame towers, SAM sites, and Mammoth tanks.
10
Plan your assault on the main Soviet base, using the south-east corner as the best entry point.
11
Prioritize taking out defensive structures and tanks first.
12
Target the Soviet construction yard to prevent them from rebuilding.
13
If your tanks are destroyed before leveling the entire base, build more and launch a second assault.
14
To capture the command center, punch a hole in its concrete casing with your units before your engineers can enter.

Tips

Controlling the ore fields is crucial for victory.
Be prepared for large waves of Soviet tanks, infantry, and V2 rockets from the north and east.
Yaks, Migs, and choppers can be eliminated by destroying their airfields.
A fast and hard hit on the main Soviet base is more effective than a prolonged siege.
Capturing the command center allows the next mission to take place inside it.
