Soviet troops have started surrendering in droves, but the
war is still far from over. A Soviet research station has
been located in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. It's
apparent that this facility is attempting to replicate the
American prism technology. Naturally, you can't allow them
to gain these powerful weapons. Using a SEAL team, you must
either capture or destroy the Soviet facility, then take out
the rest of the Soviet base.
At the start of the mission, a transport plane moves in
and drops off your forces. You start with a group of five
SEALs, which are all you really need to begin with. Move
them northwest up the slope, then send them west. They
encounter slight resistance, which they have no trouble
taking care of. Move the SEALs down into the camp, taking
care of all of the enemy troops. As you do, a NightHawk
enters from the top of the map and drops off a trio of
Engineers. You may wish to move the Engineers back into the
helicopter for now, as the Engineers are pretty vulnerable.
Once you've taken out the sets of Conscript guards
holding the two compounds here, the tanks and GIs fall under
your control. You also learn the location of the Soviet
facility, which is in the south. It's heavily guarded, but
you shouldn't have too much trouble getting in.
To start, put five GIs in each of the two large huts near
the compounds. The Soviets continue to send small forays
into this base, and your GIs keep your troops protected.
Also move out the tanks to help fight back the Soviets.
Now it's time to get sneaky. Place two Engineers and
three SEALs into the helicopter transport. Move the third
Engineer into one of the compounds for safety, while the
remaining two SEALs stand near the huts to help keep the
Soviets away from this camp.
Take the helicopter and fly it straight east, then move
it south until you reach the corner of the map. If your
helicopter is shot down, you can also swim the SEALs south
to the back entrance. From here, head west until you're over
land again. You want to set the helicopter down at the back
edge of the high ground here, right next to the ore field.
Deploy everyone, then move the helicopter out and over the
water for safe keeping.
Move the SEALs up slowly and have them take out every
infantry unit they encounter. Because your SEALs and
engineers are not capable of defending themselves against
the Soviet vehicles, move them into the base when the War
Miners are either unloading or in the ore field to the west.
Move them into the Soviet base, and keep the Engineers just
behind them.
Your team discovers that the Mayan pyramid just inside
the base is actually a modified form of a Prism Tower. Have
one of the Engineers capture it and, while this is
happening, tell one of the SEALs to destroy the barrels next
to the wall to the east. This takes out a few Soviet
vehicles and structures and allows your second Engineer to
grab the Tesla Reactor here. Once you do, the Prism Tower
activates and slaughters everything in the surrounding area.
This also triggers an airdrop of another SEAL directly in
the heart of the Soviet base.
Now it's time to use the SEALs for what they do
best-destruction. The Prism Tower couldn't be safer, since
nothing Soviet can get near it. Start taking out structures,
starting with the right side of the base. The Soviets will
replace most of their destroyed buildings, but you really
need to start getting rid of the Tesla Reactors when you
can. Move around, shooting barrels when you see them.
Essentially, you want to knock out as much power as you can,
then destroy the Tesla Coil guarding the Construction Yard
with the tanks you found, or else take out the anti-air
units and use the NightHawk. Once this is down, take out the
Construction Yard itself. You've now prevented the Soviets
from replacing lost buildings, but you still need to take
out their Barracks and War Factory.
Again, move in slowly. Any time Soviet resistance gets
heavy, pull back to the safety of the Prism Tower, then move
out again. Once you take down the War Factory and Barracks,
the rest of the mission is a losing proposition for the
Soviets.
There are a few places you need to be careful. The SEALs
have great range with their weapons, and you can take out
the Sentry Guns from outside these weapons' range. Move in
slowly to take them down.
You also need to do something about that second Prism
Tower. You can either move in the final Engineer and capture
it, or you can have one of the SEALs destroy it for you.
Either way, once it's out of the way or in your hands, the
first objective of your mission is complete. This triggers
an airdrop of an additional SEAL, although at this point,
you really don't need him.
The final tricky spot is the two Tesla Coils guarding the
front of the Soviet base. Both are being charged by Tesla
Troopers. To eliminate these coils, have a SEAL move in
carefully and drop the Tesla Troopers charging them up. With
these units out of the way, the Tesla Coils go offline,
allowing you to destroy them at your leisure.
With the death of the last enemy unit and the destruction
of their last building, the mission ends. Your prism
technology is safe.
