Mission 2: Operation Eagle Dawn, Colorado Springs

Soviet tanks have gathered near the Air Force Academy in Colorado, and the Russian military has taken over. You must take back the air base. Tanya is in this mission and will help.

Objectives: Recapture the Air force Academy, destroy all Soviet forces, keep Tanya alive.

Let's get started: You start off the mission with Tanya, a couple GIs, and three Engineers. You should place your forces in groups. Use CTRL 1-9 to number your groups. Make Tanya #1, GIs #2, and Engineers #3. makes it easier select them. Ok, lets move north of our starting position and take out the first group of Conscripts coming down the road. You'll also see a power-up crate. Have Tanya get the crate. It gives her an armor upgrade.

Reinforcements: A group of Rocketeers will be joining you about this time. Move them further north to the crossroads and wait for more Conscripts coming down the road. The Rocketeers will take them out. Then head for the base. Caution must be used near the base. There are Sentry guns guarding the base. But because Flak Cannons are also in the base, you can't use your Rocketeers to destroy the Sentry guns. Here's what you do. Have Tanya enter the base via the water (Tanya swims). Move Tanya in, take out any Conscripts she can see first, then have her destroy the Flak Cannons. Now you can let the Rocketeers take out the Sentry guns safely. After you destroy the Flak Cannons you receive more reinforcements. Six Engineers are dropped into the base. Two of them will automatically take over the Construction Yard and Air Force Chapel building. Use the other four to take over the Power Plant, Barracks, War Factory, and Refinery. Use another Engineer you got in the beginning of the mission to take over the Air Force Command structure. When you do this the Harrier Jets will take off and reveal the location of the Soviet base you need to destroy.

Now start building up your forces a bit. You must destroy all the hostile forces in the area to complete this mission. You'll need to build another Chrono Miner to help gather ore, and tanks and GIs. Have your Rocketeers uncover the ore field west of your base and use them to guard this area for a brief period of time.

After you've built a small army, take your Rocketeers you had guarding the ore field down the left side of the map. You'll find a couple more Rocketeers waiting for you. Now look for a small group of Soviet Conscripts guarding some trucks south of the Soviet main base. Destroy them with your Rocketeers. The trucks each have a pwoer-up crate!

Now take your force you have created. You should have tanks a lots of GIs. Head to the Soviet base. Take out the War Miners mining ore in the fields. Next, move to the back of the Soviet base. Do not attack from the front. The back is much easier. You should also destroy the Flak Cannons so your Rocketeers can be used to take out the Sentry guns. Go ahead and destroy everything. You'll also get a massive drop of GI paratroopers into the base. The mission ends when all Soviet forces are destroyed.

Tip: It's much faster to take over the buildings with Engineers that to destroy them. When you are in the Soviet base, have an Engineer take over the barracks and crank out Engineers and have them take over the Soviet structures.
