Mission 3: Hail to the Chief, Washington, D.C.

The Soviets have placed a Psychic Beacon near the White House. With it they have taken over the mind of the President of the United States. You must act fast and destroy the beacon and rescue the President.

Objectives: Destroy the Psychic Beacon. Have fun =)

Let's go: You start with lots of GIs, one Engineer, and a Construction Yard. Garrison all but one of your GIs into the surrounding buildings. Have your Engineer move into the Jefferson memorial and repair it. When you repair any of the damaged memorials in this mission you get power-up crates filled with money! So throughout the mission keep this in mind. It's a great source of cash. Now build up you base as quickly as possible. Create many GIs and more Engineers to start with. You should use these to garrison all the buildings to the east and south of your base. The Engineers are used to repair these buildings. You can't garrison buildings that are damaged in the red. Since the Soviets drop paratroopers in your area all thru the mission, garrisoning these building now will take care of them. Also, build some Pillboxes and use Grizzly tanks and IFVs to reinforce the area around the buildings. Just want to note that some of the civilians are mind-controlled and may attack you also. Build more GIs and have them scout out the map. Also take some GIs to guard the ore fields where your Chrono Miners will be gathering ore to protect them. 

You should also build two Air Force Command buildings and fill them with Harrier Jets. You can use them to destroy buildings garrisoned by Soviet troops, and destroying Soviet War Miners. Rocketeers are the best unit to use when scouting the map for the enemy. In the southeast corner of the map is the Smithsonian Museum, and in the north the Lincoln Memorial. If you repair these two buildings you will get money crates. Near the center of the map is the Washington Monument. Same deal here. Repair it and get more money crates.

All thru the mission you'll be fighting back Soviet forces and mind-controlled civilians. At some point in the mission you need to take out the smaller Soviet base just over the bridge from your base. This will cut down on the flow of Soviet troops. Use Grizzlies and IFVs for this task. You should also put a few Engineers in IFVs. this will make you repair vehicles that will keep your tanks, etc. repaired. After the smaller Soviet base is destroyed you can start to concentrate on building a large assault force. 

Now lets get started. Build ten GIs, and move them across the bridge near the center of the map. Garrison them inside one of the tents near the Washington Monument. Remember to have an Engineer repair this Monument to receive more money crates! Now take a second force which should consist of Grizzly tanks and a good number of IFVs. Don't forget to place a few Engineers in the IFVs so you have a couple repair vehicles to repair your damaged tanks. At the same time the IFVs give your Engineers extra protection heading to the front lines! 

Take this second force to the center of the map and take out all Soviet forces. You should wipe out the forces around the Washington Monument first. Now keep pushing towards the Soviet base. Destroy everything. Use your Engineers to capture buildings, then sell them real quick. Much faster to capture buildings than to destroy them with your units. Either way is ok though. Just destroy everything.

Just a little tip here: If you capture the enemy barracks, crank out Engineers from there and use them to take over other enemy buildings.

Finally, move towards the Psychic Beacon, take out the Sentry guns guarding the Beacon, then blast through the wall and destroy it. Once the Beacon is destroyed and the mind control is eliminated, the President and two aides leave the White House and get on a rescue helicopter. 

You have saved the President and your mission is over.
