Mission 5: City of Lights, Paris

This mission finds you in France. As a demonstration of your power, you'll turn the Paris Tower into a Giant Tesla Coil. The French will do what they can to stop you from doing this. Expect very heavy resistance from the French people.

Objectives: Get your Tesla Troopers to the Paris Tower.

You won't be able to build a base in this mission. What you start with is a Barracks and a Tesla Coil. You also have several Conscripts, some Engineers, four Tesla Troopers, and two Crazy Ivans. You have no ore to mine either. Unless you can find some additional money, you are limited to the $2,500 you start with. There is however one source of income, but you'll need to do a little work to get it.

Where's da money? First, take your Conscripts and head them west. What your going to do is garrison buildings, but not to hold them. What you do is garrison a building, use it to eliminate any Allies in the area, and then move on to the next building. Don't try to confront the enemy troops without garrisoning. You can't afford to lose many of your troops since your funds are limited with this mission. Keep heading west until you find the Tech Derrick. This is your source of money. Have an Engineer capture it, then have Conscripts garrison the buildings around the Tech Derrick to protect it. Also garrison the buildings around your small base for protection. It may take awhile since the money comes in slow. But you'll eventually have the buildings full with Conscripts. Keep making Conscripts throughout the entire mission. You'll need them.

Heading north: Once your have the Tech Derrick and your base fully protected with garrisoned Conscripts, take six Conscripts to the north and do the same thing you did with the buildings to the west. Garrison a building, shoot what you can hit, then move on to the next building. This takes time, but it protects your Conscripts. As your working your way up north toward the Paris Tower, leave a few Conscripts in some of the buildings for added defense. 

The Paris Tower: At the northern end of the map you will see the Paris Tower. It is heavily guarded with Pillboxes and GIs, and also some tanks and IFVs. Get as many Conscripts as you can. The idea is to garrison as many buildings as you can and target all the Allied units from the garrisoned buildings. Don't try to fight them outside the buildings. You won't last long. If the Allies destroy one of the buildings you are garrisoned in, simply go to the next one. Keep doing this and you will soon win this battle. About this time you will be receiving reinforcements by Amphibious transport. You'll get 6 Tesla Troopers. Keep them where they appear and keep cranking out Conscripts when you can. You need to hit the Allies from both sides to take the Paris Tower and to prevent the Allies from taking it after it's yours. So keep garrisoning all the buildings you can.

Now move a large force of Conscripts up the road next to the water and assault the Allies west of the Tower. You'll lose a lot of your Conscripts here, but keep reinforcing them with new Conscripts. Eventually you win out and the Paris Tower will be under your control. As soon as you take the Paris Tower the Allies will start to attack it. Hit what you can from the buildings you have garrisoned. The deploy your troops and destroy the remaining Allied GIs and tanks. When the last GI and Allied tanks are destroyed, move in your transport that is carrying the Tesla Troopers, and place them around the Paris Tower. It will then charge-up and destroy all remaining allied units. 

The mission is over and Paris is yours!
