Defnding your base
This mission will assume that you are aware of how to control your movement, do basic commands through your comm channel and be on top of your resource management and production.
You will start the mission already in a tank with the objective of defending your base. You will immediately be attacked by two enemies.
After destroying one with your tank the other will flee.
Using your recycler
Once the threat has been eliminated you will be given a recycler to start production in your base. Press 5 to select your recycler and then 3 to place it on a geyser (its power source).
When your recycler is powered you will want to start production of turrets to help you defend your base against waves of enemies.
Press 5 to select your Recycler again and then 4 to select Turret. It will take a short while to build.
Placing your turrets
When the turret has been built you will need to place it in a defensive position. I suggest you place it in the area where you were first attacked.
To select a turret hit 2 on your keyboard (Defence) then 1 to select your first turret. You will be given a smart cursor where you can place your turret by hitting your Spacebar (Goto).

I suggest building about another 5 turrets around your base. During this time you will be attacked by a few more waves of enemies. Your turrets should do a good job of turning them into scrap.
Rendezvous with addition forces
After you have fought off a few Soviet attacks you will receive a new objective to rendezvous with some extra forces at your solar array (I suggest building another turret here).

Once the new forces have arrived you can set them to follow you by selecting them in your comm channel. Press Ctrl 1(Offence) to select all your offensive units then 1 again to tell them to follow you.
Evacuating your base
After fighting off one more wave of enemies you will be shown a cutscene showing a large Soviet force landing on the moon. You will be given the objective to evacuate while escorting two transporters.

Press your spacebar on the two transporters to select them. Then press 1 to tell them to follow you. They should now be following you along with your other forces.
On your way to the launchpad you will encounter a few turrets and enemies. Destroy them while protecting the transporters. If you find you are struggling for firepower take a couple of your turrets with you and set them up along the way.
Mission Complete
When your transports reach the launchpad you will complete the mission.

Good job here; permit me to add a couple of tips...

-instead of destroying one of the initial Flanker pair, snipe it; the other will still flee. Go park your tank near the barracks near the solar arrays (a pilot will hop out and man it), before commandeering your new ride. Having that wingman early on will really help.
-one of the attacking waves contains an APC. Kill this before it unloads - the combined fire from its infantry complement can shred things quickly. Like your recycler.
-the hangar and supply depot have 'auras' that regenerate health and ammo, respectively, of friendly units.
-before the transports begin their run, take a wingman or two and search to the right of the path to the launch facility - you'll find the group of turrets waiting for the cue to move into their ambush positions. Feel free to waylay them.
