Quick Tips & Early Warnings
Tip 1:   Try To Use the Quantum Gate
You can bring Support Command Units(SCUs) through the QG. Each SCU fights harder than 3 T3 Assault Bots, build as fast or faster than a T3 Engineer, can travel over water, can repair itself, and produces energy and mass(which can be upgraded to produce more). They can also be used as suicide bombers because they create a small nuke explosion upon destruction. Have your ACU and T3 Engineers assist the QG when your base is secure so you can crank out the SCUs!


Mission Objectives
Objective 1:   Defend the City
Most of the city must survive so get ready to protect it. They start you off with some Land and Air Factories as well as some T3 Engineers. Build up more T3 Engineers ASAP, about 10 for each of the 3 base areas.

Objective 2:   Protect At Least Two of the Research Facilities(RFs)
Once you are good on T3 Engineers get some Heavy Sheild Gens up around the RFs and the main base. Get T2 Point Def and AA Turrets built under the sheilds. Start focusing on getting a decent economy going with T3 Power Gens and Mass Fabs after your defenses are in place.

Objective 3:   Deploy Two Strategic Missile Defenses(SMDs)
The enemy gets its first nuke shot down, then you get access to SMDs. You only have to save 2 of the RFs so if you can't get enough going to build a third SMD then don't worry about it. Have at least 5 or more T3 Engineers building at least one SMD at a time in the targeted areas. After the SMD is up be sure to select and right-click on the SMD's "Missile Auto Build" option button in the lower-right corner. Have the Engineers assist it in building its first defense missile then build the next SMD. Keep building up your economy as well to prevent any slow-down of construction. If the enemy launches more nukes before you are ready, then try to clear out of the target areas to save as many units as you can. Start building up T3 Assault Bots and T2 Mobile AA at all the bases during this objective.

Objective 4:   Destroy Arnold's Strategic Missile Launchers(SMLs)
After they try to nuke you, you'll see the SMLs targeted to the east and southeast. It's time for some payback baby! Gather your Assault Bots along with your T2 Mobile AA to protect them, and attack the SML targets from the southeast(where you'll see an opening)! Use a move queue to get your units past the enemy's wall sections then set a patrol path inside the base to wreck havoc. Then move to the next base to the northeast and wipe them out!

Objective 5:   Destroy Cybran Long-Range Artillary
The enemy will now attack with T3 Arty from the northeast and southwest. Block these attacks using Heavy Shield Gens then build up a bunch of Gunships. Have the Gunships go and destroy just the enemy Arty targets, you can kill the rest of their buildings later.

Objective 6:   Escort Black Sun Component Trucks to Quantum Gate
Shield Gens and Anti-Air come in handy here. Protect the 2 groups of trucks, which come out of the Research Facilities one at a time, using mostly Anti-Air unit patrols along the trucks paths to the Quantum Gate.

Objective 7:   Destroy the Five Cybran Bases
At this point you can build a few Strategic Missile Launchers(SMLs) using most of your T3 Engineers and Support Command Units(SCUs). Assist each SML when constructing nukes then bombard each Cybran base with them. Remember to take your ACU through the Quantum Gate.
