This mission introduces the Guardian Tank, the Spy, Tanya, Riptide ACV and the Vindicator Bomber.
 
The first part of this mission is to bypass the enemy defenses in the area and infiltrate the Port Buildings. This can be done using spies disguised as conscripts to infiltrate the power plants near the southern entrance of each island. Once the power is down, eliminate all of the guards then destroy the tesla coil with Tanya. Take out all forces, especially the bears and barracks which will train new bears to replace the ones you killed, before sending spies into the port buildings. Repeat the above procedure of shutting down the power to get rid of any tesla coils in your way.
 
Destroying the four Reactors in the southeast corner of the map will not help you access the Port Buildings, but it will achieve the bonus objective of neutralizing the defenses guarding the Vindicators.
 
Once the Port Buildings are captured, the submarines guarding the Dreadnoughts are no longer present and Tanya can quickly destroy them.  Be careful though; you'll want to watch out for War Bears and Terror Drones while swimming around.
 
Spies can more easily pass through defenses if you select your Spy and then click on an enemy unit.  Unfortunately, War Bears can still smell that strong cologne you are wearing and he will eat you for dinner.
 
At the final part of the mission Attack the Soviet Base with Guardian Tanks and have Repair IFVs backing them up.

Line 30: Line 65:
For the main objective use Tanya and some spies to clear out the island in the middle. The bombers will take down the power plants and therefore deactivate the tesla coils allowing Tanya full access. Once Tanya is on the island she will remove the infantry and clear the path for the spies. Finally use Tanya to enter the port authority and destroy all the Russian dreadnaughts still in the water. '''Do not destroy the buildings in question on the center islands.'''

===Key Points===
#The most difficult part of this mission is figuring out how to sneak Tanya past the Tesla Coils.  In brief, this can be accomplished by having Tanya shoot the guards -- one at a time -- then immediately using the Timebelt ability to zip her back in time before she is fried.  Then send four Spies running past the Coils.  All of them will not survive, but this will give Tanya enough time to destroy or run past the Tesla Coil. Rinse and repeat throughout the mission.

===Walkthrough===
 
Recruit at least one more Spy and have the four of them swim due south, along with Tanya, toward the entrance guarded by two Tesla Coils.  Have Tanya snipe the guards one at a time.  These assaults can be survived by immediately using her Timebelt ability to zip her back to a safe location before the Tesla Coil can fry her.

From this point on, you can use the Airbase and the Vindicator aircraft for the rest of the mission.

Head due north with your Guardian tanks to avoid traffic jams, then due east and destroy the Prospectors and the Ore Refineries.  Work your way south and destroy the rest of the base.  Have no compassion.  The Soviets are reaping what they have sown.
