Get groups organised quickly at the start of the game into scouting and firepower groups. Send the scouts off to make contact with the enemy and lure them back to your firepower - try to keep the damage you sustain down to a minimum. Keep the group of Rocket Launcher infantry reasonably close to the tail end of the convoy and be ready for sneak attacks.

First off, it is futile to attempt to create a base at the west end of the battelfield. By the time you have gotten it set up, your convoy is usually destroyed. Select ALL of your units, and move them, as quickly as possible, to the Eastern edge of the map.

Don't stop to fight off any enemy units. As soon as your first unit reaches the eastern base, create as many ATV's as possible (I think it is 8), and then race everything back to your convoy, and start blasting the cretins.

1st: Lots of people know that ATVs can run over infantry, and that's important on this level; but equally important is the fact that SO CAN THE CONVOY TRUCKS. When I got to the town, my units killed the few things I saw and cruised through... So that the infantry ambush attacked an undefended convoy. By the time I got back there with my units, I still hadn't lost a truck, and most of the infantry were dead - because they ran under the trucks.

2nd: Speed is important, but stupidity is common. :) I lost one truck, and I lost it to a number of trucks and scorpions who ran up and attacked the rear of the convoy while my units were somewhere else. A small rear guard (maybe two or three units) would have preven ted that.

Basically, you're trying to protect a truck convoy that is heading west (towards the left of the screen) on a road. It has to get to a Survivor base that is at the very, very left end of the screen. You can't see it when you first start. Your job is to protect the convoy from where you are until it gets to the base. You will face three main waves of attacks. The first wave appears from the left and top parts of the screen. These are mainly small groups of Evolved, mainly monster trucks and Dire Wolves (the guys on the red, fast-moving animals), although there are a few Scorpions. They can be easily killed. The second wave appears when the convoy passes by an abandoned village. This is the trickiest and hardest part, because most likely you'll be overwhelmed by dozens of Berserkers and Shotgunners (the men on foot) coming from all sides. The last, and final, wave will be from the rear, and it usually starts too late, like when the convoy is near the base anyway, so you don't really nedd to worry about it much.

My strategy was the following...

You have 3 Dirt Bikes when you start the mission. Immediately, make two control groups (pressing Ctrl + a number). One will only be the Dirt Bikes, the second will be everyone else. Immediately after this, take the Dirt Bikes and sprint to the base. You'll need to head west (left) through the road. You'll pass trees, mountains, and an abandoned village. You'll be shot at by some of the Evolved from the first wave, but they won't be able to catch you in the Dirt Bikes, as long as you don't try to attack them and just KEEP MOVING. The second wave of men at the village won't appear until the convoy does, so the Dirt Bikes are safe as they pass through there, too. Keep moving. Don't stop for anything. Once you've traveled for a long, long time, a base will appear. It consists of an Outpost (train men), and a Machine Shop (make vehicles). Build as many ATV's as you can! Don't bother with SWAT men or anything else. As soon as they get built, send these ATV's to the village to protect the convoy from the second wave of the attacking Evolved. If you're timing is right, that is if you moved quickly enough, all your forces will destroy the Evolved that ambush you at the village. Tiny freaks can't handle that many ATV's. You should be clear of any major danger now. That should be it. Hope this is helpful.

Righto, what you do is this: quickly select all your troops and move them west and quickly as possible, leaving the Oil Trucks to drive alone, Kill the Freakers who will give you grief. Pass the Industrial site until you come to a man on a hill shooting missiles at you. Don't kill him, move your units around his firing range. Soon he will move. Follow the miserable Freaker. Then you will come to a ramp to go up onto the hill South of you. Go up the ramp, WARNING! there will be some enemy, send two ATV's and some Swat and a few Flamers.

Then you will be under attack, Don't sweat it just send the surviving units to help, APART FROM ONE ATV! Send the ATV West and open the Tech Bunker, It will be a robot PROTECT HIM!!!! He is the key of winning this battle. Keep him around the trucks. If you have any other units, send them forward to scout. Soon a flood of Freakers will charge down from the North, about 30 strong. don't worry, the robot will wipe out the infantry at a glance. If you keep the robot at the back of the trucks he will protect them with ease. The Freakers will only go for the trucks and not for the opposing threat, the robot. KEEP HIM AT THE BACK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! Then if you still have you units at the front, scouting. Kill the enemy then proceed West. You will come across your outpost. build Swat and some ATV's. You robot will be veteran and will be triggerhappy. Keep him at the back until the end of the mission.

N.B: If your robot dies then start again until you get it right.

N.B: Nobody's perfect you know!

N.B: Really, look don't be upset, please NO! don't cry, Awww geez!
