This is a timed mission without the timer.  If the President’s limo reaches the Rushmore Firebase before you destroy it, it’s game over.  You can follow the limo’s progress by viewing the blue dot on the HUD display.

Time is tight, but excessive rushing will lead to mistakes you can’t recover from. Especially at the beginning of the mission, have your Vindicators watch out for and avoid the large packs of Multigunner IFVs.  Rebuilding your squadrons will take up time you don’t have.  

After dropping off the Engineers at the three Head Control Centers with your Century Bombers, don’t be lazy and directly attack the Rushmore Firebase with them.  Regroup them to your home base and attack from the direction that is already cleared of Multigunner Turrets.

After you have access to your Spectrum Towers to defend your base, take your Mirage Tanks straight north and destroy all Prospectors encountered and the two Airbases located behind the main base.

==Walkthrough==

First part of the mission is to destroy the radio tower; Tanya can handle this part on her own. Destroy the power plant first then the radar tower. Easy enough right? Try to keep her around for later in the mission.

ALTERNATIVELY: When the president's limo is behind your co-commander's base (ie. your co-commander's base is between the limo and his firebase), get a cyrocopter to freeze him. To do this in time, you may need to build an airbase in your co-commander's base, and build the copters from there. As soon as this is done, save the mission, and mass up anti-air in your co-commander's base. Four Apollo fighters will keep coming to try to defend the president from the north, but the combined force of your anti-air firepower is enough to destroy them before they reach the president. There is a chance, that when you kill an Apollo, it crashes onto the limo and destroys it. If this happens, reload the mission. Otherwise, you have all the time in the world to destroy the base however you wish. Keep in mind, that mirage tanks will only be available to you once the president reaches the first control center, so when you are ready, you can let him move there, freeze him again, and move your anti-air to support.  

Now the west side ally should build bombers and fighters and the east side ally should work on ground forces. Since the enemy base has a weak entrance on the west and the main structure you are to destroy is on the east.

In the last scene the president leaves on a chopper. You are then ordered to kill the president. Now is the preferred time to use the fighters to take down the chopper since you can get to it before he gets away.

==Alternate Walkthrough==

Once you receive Maximum Clearance, create a separate Airbase to build three Century Bombers.  Load each one with an Engineer. Parachute in the three Engineers to disable the Head Control Centers.  Safely fly your Bombers back to your home base for further attacks once the skies are safer.

The game is not over yet.  Now it is necessary to destroy the President’s Limo or the Helicopter that he is about to board.  If you don’t destroy the Limo, use one or more Apollo Fighters to take out the helicopter as it flies off to the west.
