NNN                        TARGET: THE BISRMARCK

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

Goals:

Locate The Bismarck.
1) Rescue Your General.
2) Reach The Hydroplane.
3) Your General Must Survive.

There are tons of ways to win this mission.  I will describe a way that can allow you to win it without a single casualty if you're good enough at it.
You'll need some patience though...

Group the Mortar and Rifle troops together and send them to the South-West corner of the map.  Send the Spy and Sappers to the North-West, and then head
East through the trees just below the mountain.  There's a group of enemy infantry between the first mountain and the trees, which is why you're bypassing that gap.  Or, if you want to, you can use the same method I'm about to describe to get rid of them.

Use the Spy's invisibility feature to scout ahead and find the group of enemy infantry at the entrance to the mountain pass to the East.  Once you know where they are, retreat the Spy to a safe distance (remember to turn his invisibility skill off too).  Now use your Sappers to plant a mine field West of the infantry pile.  The trick is, your infantry can walk through the mine field, but enemy infantry will blow up if they walk on it.  So, highlight your spy and approach the enemy infantry.  Get close enough so they start to chase you, and then run to the other side of your mine field.  Do this trick enough times until all of them are blow up.

GO back and highlight the Rifle and Mortar troops now.  If you eliminated the first pile of infantry between the mountain and trees, then you can just send them directly to your Sappers and Spy.  If not, then use the same bypass route through the trees to the North.  Position these guys at the entrance to the mountain pass.  Send the Spy and Sappers a little farther to the East, but not too far.  Send the Sappers East slowly until you can see the flashing red signs of a mine field.  Use the Sappers to defuse the mine field.  Now send all of your infantry East to the next junction of mountains.

The screen should automatically pan to the East and show you a Mark IV tank.
Take this tank West to the mountain pass.  Below your infantry pile, there are two Panzer II's and a Panzer IV.  The Mark IV can easily handle these three.
Just make sure you don't charge right into the middle of them.  Stay on the
Eastern edge of their range and pick them of one by one if possible.

Once those three are destroyed, send the Mark IV, the Sappers, and the Spy to the flashing mission objective symbol.  Leave the Mortar and Rifle troops behind so they can pick off the enemy infantry that will appear from the West.
Once the Mark IV gets to the flashing symbol, use its bridge feature to launch a bridge over the river.  Send the Sappers and the Spy over the bridge.  You can send the other infantry over too if you want, but they will not be necessary to finish the mission.

Use the Spy's invisibility feature to locate the pile of enemy troops and tanks at the gap in the mountains to the North.  Deploy a mine field East of this pile, and make sure it's fairly big.  Now use the same trick with your Spy that
I described before, and make all of the infantry and tanks destroy themselves on the mine field.  Once they're all destroyed, make your Spy invisible and him all the way to the flashing mission objective symbol.  Then send him to the
West side of this base to take control of the Panzer IV, and then to the East side to take over the four Panzer II's.  Use the Panzer IV to slaughter the
Defensive Tower and the infantry, and then send the tanks, Spy, and General to your Sapper pile.

Send everything West, and make sure that you keep close to the water.  If you get too close to the mountains, Defensive Cannons will slaughter you.  Also, make sure to head slightly North when you get the chance.  There is a pile of enemy forces at the West side of the water, but you can avoid them entirely if you're careful.  Use your Spy's invisibility to see exactly where they are.

Once everything you have is West of the next gap in the mountains (just South of the flashing mission objective symbol), deploy a mine field.  Use your Spy to get the infantry guarding the pass to chance him over the field.  Then head to the objective symbol and get the Panzer to follow you to its doom as well.
Make sure you don't go too far East in this area, or those Defensive Cannons will kill you.  Send your General to the flashing symbol, and the mission is complete.

OOO                       ALAMEIN, THE LAST INITIATIVE

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

Goals:

Control the Alamein.
1) Destroy Enemy Headquarters.

So many options on this mission...I'll describe the way that I've beaten it the fastest, since I doubt too many people have the patience to sit around and wait for Minerals to collect.

Immediately send your four Workers to the mine.  Then build a Supply Store, an
Oil Rig, and a Defensive Quarters building.  Once the Supply Store is done, build two more Workers for the mine, and build another four to send to the oil rig.  Now build four or five Defensive Towers on the northern edge of your reach, just above the mine and palm tree.  If you were too slow, the enemy will crush you instantly, and you will have to start over already.

Make sure your Defensive Towers are set to auto-repair.  Build them along the perimeter, and make each one touch another one.  The enemy will be attacking that spot in large numbers, so they will be ineffective if you spread them out.
Make sure you stick two more towers to the East of your oil field too, or you'll have some serious problems.

Build a Laboratory and a Resource Center next.  Once the Laboratory is done, build four or five Defensive Cannons directly below your line of towers.  You might want to consider a few more towers, too.  Once you've got these placed, build a Barracks, a Vehicles Factory, and a Tanks Factory.  Once the Tanks
Factory is done, build six regular Matildas.  Just keep an eye on your defenses during this time to make sure the enemy doesn't cause a hole to form.

Once the tanks are ready, take them to the far East of the map.  Now head up to the flashing mission objective symbol.  Take out any tanks you encounter first, especially Panzer IV's.  Then just hammer the Headquarters.  Once it's gone, you win the mission.

If you need or want to, you can invest in the Defensive Structures Health and the Medium Tank Speed upgrades before you attack the base.  Even though the game suggests going after the other mines and oil fields, it's really not that beneficial.  The enemy will immediately attack you at your new locations, so you'll have to waste a lot of money and time defending them.  You can win the mission easily with what you start with, so only go out of your way if you're bored and want something to do.

Interesting Note:  Four Lancasters can take out that Headquarters by themselves, even with all of the AntiAircraft the enemy has.

PPP                          STAVING OFF DEFEAT

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

Goals:

Force Rommel to Retreat.
1) Take the Enemy's Base.
2) Destroy the Enemy.

Load all of your infantry into the trucks.  Now take all four of your units
North, and send them above the enemy Headquarters, completely ignoring the
Defensive Towers along the way.  Start building a Headquarters above the enemy one, as close to it as possible.  Now deploy the infantry from your trucks and destroy all of the enemy's buildings, but be careful of the Defensive Towers.

Build four Supply Stores as soon as you can.  Once they are done, send six
Workers to the mine.  In the mean time, use all of your units to attack the
South-East Defensive Tower, and then the one directly to the West of it.  You should be able to kill them both.  Now place an Oil Rig in both oil fields, and send six Workers to each one.

Build a Barracks, a Defensive Quarters building, and a Resource Center.  When you can, build a Laboratory, upgrade it, build a Vehicles Factory, build a
Tanks Factory, and then build the Medium Tanks Speed ability if you want to.
Once these buildings are all done, you should be able to build Flame Matildas.
Make sure you have enough Supply Stores, and start cranking out Flame Matildas in large numbers.

Put the first two up by the North-Western oil field to protect your base.  Take the next seven down to the other two mines, and eliminate any opposition on the way.  Build another Headquarters directly between these two mines, and send six
Workers to each of them when it's done.  Continue building Flame Matildas until you have sixteen of them, not counting the ones guarding your oil field.

Now, simply take the sixteen Flame Matildas West to the enemy base and level the place.  It should be simple, as long as you're not careless.  Avoid the mountain area completely, because there are a lot of heavy vehicles up there waiting for you.  Once you destroy all of the buildings around the flashing mission objective symbol, you will win the mission.

QQQ                           OPERATION MOSCOW

Goals:

Defend the Soviet Line.
1) Defeat the German General.

If you haven't experienced any frustration by the stupidity of your units when you tell them to go somewhere, I'd prepare myself if I were you.  The paths on this mission or tiny, and your idiot infantry can sometimes get stuck or go to stupid locations.

Start off by selecting the six infantry on your screen at the beginning of the mission.  Send them slightly East to that clearing.  Now go down and send the infantry below you to that same spot.  Also go around the entire map and send every last infantry unit you can find to that spot.  There are some in the town areas, many in the hills, and a few by some of your guard towers.  Eventually, you'll get a notice saying reinforcements have arrived to the north.  Go up to them and send them down to the pile of infantry.

By now you should have enough to make two groups of sixteen and a few extras.
Make them into three teams and send them to the gap in the mountains to the
South.  Send then through carefully, one group at a time, or they will get stuck and confused.  Also, don't send them too far past the West part of the end of the mountains.  You don't want to draw too much attention to yourself.

A tank and a group of infantry should attack you.  Destroy it all, and be especially careful of the flame infantry, as they can cause serious damage to your guys.  Once all of that stuff is destroyed, make sure you still have your groups set and send them all up to the flashing mission objective symbol.
Immediately target all of your groups on the General.  You should be able to win using just those infantry, since all you need to do is kill the General.

Although if you want, you can sit back and wait for more reinforcements to show up to the North.  You'll even get some light vehicles.  But they are not needed to win the mission.

RRR                   OPERATION BARBAEOSSA - STALINGRAD

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

Goals:

Cut German Army Supplies.
1)  Rescue Soviet General (In the First 15 Minutes).
2)  Destroy All Oil Rigs.

Start by moving your infantry to the West a little, towards the two mines.
Build your Command Center there as soon as possible, directly between and slightly to the East of the mines.  Once you place it, send the infantry up
North to the oil field.  As soon as the Command Center is done, build a Pump
Jack on the oil field.  The good things about the Soviets is that they do not need to build buildings close to a Command Center.  All they need is a unit.

While that's building, go suicide your infantry on a Defensive Tower.  They're taking up valuable Supply Store space.  Build six workers for one mine, then build a Supply Store.  Once you've got the money and Supply Store space, get another six workers ready for the other mine.

Once you have the funds, build a Power Plant, a Barracks, a Light Tanks
Factory, and a Laboratory.  Build three SU76's once all of these buildings are done.  Take them to the North-East and take out the Defensive Towers there.
There is just enough room above that bridge to take units between the bridge and the water.  Do so, and go free your General by killing the guards and then
