Battlezone II: Combat Commander/This is Not a Drill

This is your first encounter with the alien forces that made a recent attack on Pluto. You are dispatched along with Cmdr. Shabayev and Lt. Simms to investivate the base.

Objectives

• Follow Cmdr. Shabayev. Attempting to move too far ahead or lagging behind risks failing the mission (unless you are ordered to head to a location.)
• Reach Cerbereus base, and make contact.
• Defend Cerbereus base from attack.
• Protect Red 1.
• Escort a nearby service truck to the base.

Walkthrough

This mission is straight forward, follow the objectives as required. If needed, you can collect any blue pickups you see for additional ammo, and green pickups to repair your scout craft.

• On a first report of an unidentified contact, you will need to flank it by taking the high road. It is a guardian and will deploy once all three of you surround it. You can destroy it before it attacks.
• In the base, enter the destroyed training center (which looks like a long building). An officer is located leaning against a wall.
• The initial attack will consist of a few scouts, which are destroyed. These scout craft are easily taken out, but will damage the craft of Lt. Simms.
• Red 2 is under attack by Sentries. These are slightly stronger, but still won't hold to Minigun fire.
• When you rescue the service truck, up to three sentries will arrive to attack. Cmdr. Shabaev will arrive to assist.
• The mission will end once the service truck reaches the base. Impatient players can ram the truck to make it move faster.
