Mission 7: Chrono Defense, Ural Mountains

The Allies are after your Battle Lab in this mission. You must protect it at all costs. The Allies have Chrono technology available to them and can place troops anywhere inside your base. You must be prepared for attacks from anywhere. If you keep your wits about you, you'll be ok. Just don't lose your head =) Good Luck Commander!

Objectives: Protect your Battle Lab.

Let's get started: Start building up your base as normal. But do it quickly. The Allies will be attacking soon. Make sure to cover your entire base with defenses, including Conscripts, Flak Tracks, and tanks. Also use attack dogs with this mission. The Allies will be using Spies in this mission and the dogs are the only way to spot them. Also, since Spies like to target your Tesla Reactors, post some dogs around them. Don't worry about exploring the map just yet. Concentrate on building up your base and forces. And the more technology you develop the better. Get whatever is available in this mission. You should also build four Apoc Tanks and place them at the openings (choke points) leading to your base. Don't build anymore Apocs than that since they are so expensive. Defend these opening with Flak Cannons and whatever else you have too. Never stop building defenses. Your going to need all you can make. 

Note: The Allies will be sending in Snipers to take out your men. When you get the chance, explore around your base so you can spot the Snipers. Also, as the mission progresses, the Allied attacks grow larger and more difficult to handle. They also send in Rocketeers. Use your Flak Tracks, etc. to defend against them. Air defense is important in this mission. 

Here's a good Tip: If you take out the Propaganda Truck the entire map will be revealed to you. You will find the Truck in the town west of your base driving around the outskirts of the town. It contains a power-up crate and Spy Satellite maps of the area. 

Take the Money: If you continue to explore the map, you'll find an Outpost and three Tech Derricks. Build four Engineers and put them in a Flak Track. Send them to this spot and capture the Outpost and Tech Derricks. Send along 3 Rhino Tanks, 2 Flak Tracks, and an Apocalypse Tank for protection. When you capture the Outpost, you'll be reinforced by a group of Flak Troopers. Now build two Tesla Coils and a Flak Cannon to help defend this area. Now you've got another source of income, plus the Allies will start attacking you here, taking some pressure off your main base and giving you a bit of a break. You can use the captured Outpost to repair your damaged vehicles between battles.

Tip: At some point during the mission a group of trucks moves from the north to the small base in the south. Each truck is carrying a crate. If you can get to these trucks and destroy them the crates are yours for the taking.

The Allied Prism Tanks are tough to deal with. You don't want them to get within range of your Battle Lab. Massing fire power against them is one way to take them out, but you'll lose a lot of units. The Apocalypse Tank is a good unit to use for this task. Two of them can handle an entire squad of Prism Tanks. 

Final Allied Attack: On the sixth and final attack by the Allies, they hit you with everything they have and from all sides. First, don't panic. Take care of the Allied Spies and Engineers before you do anything else. Once you have eliminated that threat, concentrate on defending your Battle Lab. Just make sure it has plenty of air defenses around it. It may be a good idea to build a wall around it too. 

Keep your Battle Lab intact after this final attack. The mission is over.
