Walkthrough

1
Immediately use your boats to destroy the submarine east of your starting position to prevent it from sinking your transport.
2
Unload your medium tanks and the Ranger onto the beach. Handle the initial infantry with these units.
3
Deploy your construction yard close to the beach where your gunboats are located.
4
Build a power plant as close to the trees as possible.
5
Construct a barracks next, followed by an ore refinery.
6
Place the ore refinery near the left ore field.
7
Build a pillbox on both sides of the ore refinery to defend against paratroopers and other infantry.
8
Destroy the Soviet harvesters in the right ore field outside your base as quickly as possible to reduce incoming attacks.
9
Ensure the right side of your base is protected by anti-aircraft guns.
10
Start producing medium tanks; you will need them to defend the ore field you are mining.
11
Once you have approximately ten medium tanks, move them to the small base on the bottom of the map, just to the right of the ore field.
12
Blast the barrels in the small base to inflict significant damage, then destroy the barracks, flame tower, and power plant.
13
Do not destroy the radar station yet; you need to capture it to complete the mission.
14
If you have a good supply of medium tanks, use them to defend the gap above the radar station that leads to the Soviet base.
15
Destroy the Soviet harvesters in this area to make the rest of the mission easier and prevent enemy units from reaching your harvesters.
16
Keep sending tanks to this location to destroy harvesters and defend your own.
17
Once you have control of this area, capture the radar station with an engineer.
18
With the harvesters destroyed, the Soviets will pose less of a threat. Gather a large tank group.
19
Advance into the Soviet base, destroying Tesla Coils first, then V2 rockets and tanks.
20
Wipe out all enemy structures except for the construction yard in the lower-left of the base.
21
Leave the Soviet construction yard for last and capture it with an engineer.
22
Destroy the two sub pens located directly to the right of the captured construction yard.
23
Build a naval yard in the water near these sub pens.
24
Use Destroyers to eliminate the remaining three sub pens. This will help you avoid fighting submarines scattered in the water.
