Mission Fourteen: Fanning the Fire
Objectives:
- Investigate site of crashed ISDF carrier
North of your present location is a set of scrap pools; deploy the recycler and start cranking out scavengers. Next, head to the crash site where the nav point is and take out the Scion hauler. Alternatively you can try to snipe the pilot of the hauler and tug the creature back to base without any problems (the Scions won't attack you), but it can be pretty chancy.
Unfortunately you won't be able to get a normal tug to haul the creature back directly - the Scions will be all over you from the start. Instead, haul it off to a safe area, and build a defensive perimeter tough enough to withstand most attacks without your direct intervention. Now concentrate on building up your base, focusing on the heavy assault units.
Kill that hauler quickly before he reaches the Scion defenses. |
Now you want to slowly eat away at the Scion base and its ability to successfully interfere with you bringing the creature back to your base. With the Scion base mostly destroyed or disabled, you can then easily bring the creature back to the ISDF base.
Along the way you'll meet up with Shabayev and be faced with a choice: side with Braddock and continue in the ISDF campaign, or go with Shabayev and get sidetracked into the Scion campaign.
You'll still be able to continue the ISDF missions at a later time, though apparently there is a bug where sometimes you are stuck in the ISDF campaign no matter what you select. In either case see the cheats chapter below.
Mission Fifteen: A Traitor's Fate
Objectives:
- Destroy the AAN base
- Trap and destroy AAN forces
You're given a limited but powerful group of vehicles to accomplish the mission. Remember to use the service truck to heal all of your troops before you push out after an encounter with Manson's AAN forces.
Head north toward the AAN base, dispatching scouts and missile scouts along the way. Take out the gun tower with your heavy artillery, and when you reach the AAN base, do the same with the perimeter of gun towers there. Everyone else should wreck the base buildings quite nicely.
As you head to the dust-off site, Manson and the remaining AAN troops will ambush you. The southern group contains Manson's sentinel assault tank - take it out and the mission will be over.
