This was the first mission I had to replay like 5 times (the first I 
had to redo was the Nuke as I went flying East instead of West and run 
out of time). Ok, I go for full bonus objectives and THAT was the hard 
part.

First, repair all defenses. Then activate one armour defense north and 
east, one inf defense south and west. Since air attacks did the worst 
surprise defense killings I then activated all AA guns except the se 
one. 

And then you'll be in a hurry for a while. I preferred APC + missile 
squads at first but using riflemen to build bunkers and filling those 
bunkers with missilemen to the n and e, riflemen to the s and w was 
more effective.
Then get 3 predators n and e and SUFFER. Most of your time will be 
spent recirculating these to your war factory for repairs. YAK. The 
rest is spent repairing those defenses and building whatever you can 
afford (not too much so you cannot repair defenses).

Another harvester is a nice thing to have. Also go for the crates below 
your base for additional cash.

Once the MCV appears I went for 4-5 APC laden with missile squads and 
took out the offending structure. Time the rescue between attacks and 
go straight for the target without messing around.

>>From here on it's just business as usual (getting the MCV back means 
stopping a few times not to get it chewed up in the infantry attacks 
happening). All this takes attention so make sure you have a base 
defense that works.

BTW, the next mission is worse :D. Top tip, if you go for bonus 
objectives put those darn engineers into bunkers while they are idle. 
That alone took me 3 tries to figure out lol. Once I got an APC to Hero 
status things got a lot easier though.

Another thing I found was that while I was off getting the MCV, my base 
would get flattened.  It turns out the vehicles that attack the North and 
East gates are from a base in the NE, and the troops that attack in the 
South and West come from another base in the SW.  I built a large bunch of 
tanks and APCs, and whacked these 2 bases before rescuing the MCV.  You can 
then power down some anti infantry and vehicle turrets and put on your AA 
cos the only base left is an airbase... (Some APCs with rocket squads are a 
good investment too).

I just got beat on the next level - going to have another go later.
