Learn how to defend the entrance and counter early attacks in Total Annihilation's 3. Ambush! mission with this guide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as possible, build a light laser tower (a type of defensive structure) near your single entrance, within the enclosed starting area, to defend against incoming peewees (small enemy units).
  2. 2
    If your two starting Storms (a type of kbot unit) are destroyed before the laser tower is operational, use the D-gun (a weapon ability) on the attackers.
  3. 3
    Focus on increasing your metal and power income and producing more kbots.
  4. 4
    Use Storm kbots to eliminate enemy kbots positioned on the left wall. Place these Storms on 'hold position' about five body lengths away from the wall. A line of five Storms can clear the wall effectively.
  5. 5
    Add another laser tower to bolster your defenses.
  6. 6
    Slowly expand out of your starting area and establish a laser tower outside.
  7. 7
    Once an external laser tower is built, the mission becomes significantly easier. A total of three light laser towers can counter all subsequent attacks.
  8. 8
    Produce Storms continuously and launch an offensive.
Tips
  • Storms are highly effective in this mission due to their long-range missiles, which can eliminate peewees and target units on walls.
  • Consider placing Storms on 'hold position' a short distance from walls to effectively target enemy units.
