Don't
be in a big hurry to rush to the aid of Gamma Base. You have 30
minutes to prepare. Move a combat group to the pass leading north
and have them hold there to take care of enemy units coming south.
Build a Sensor Tower and a CB Tower on the ridge east of this
area, along with lots of artillery emplacements.
Next, build up your VTOL
force. You'll lose several VTOLs, so construct a second VTOL Factory
and begin producing VTOLs with Cluster and Phosphor bombs. NEXUS
will send VTOLs to attack your forces. Position several AA units
just west of the pass to intercept them as they come over the
mountains. Finally, construct a Repair Facility south of the pass
to keep your units near the front.

When
you have at least 12 VTOLs ready, send them on a Wild Weasel mission
to take out the SAM sites northeast of the pass. They can cause
a lot of trouble, especially if your VTOL base is just to the
south. It will take a couple of attacks to destroy them all. Replace
your lost VTOLs; then take out the SAMs northwest of the pass,
and then the rocket launchers nearby. After you eliminate the
final two SAM sites in the northeast, the skies will be fairly
safe for your VTOLs.
When your VTOLs begin
their first attack, you'll receive a message from NEXUS that Gamma
Base has been absorbed. The mission timer will increase to 90
minutes. There's no hurry to rescue anybody. You need only wipe
NEXUS from the map. With the SAMs eliminated, use your VTOLs to
strike at the defensive structures northeast of the pass. Then
send in a large group of combat units to mop up and recover an
Artifact.
Now send your group to
the western map edge to take out the outpost there. Again, use
your VTOLs to soften up and destroy the defensive structures.
Recover a second Artifact. This area may seem clear, but NEXUS
transports will drop off additional units when you least expect
it. Be ready for a fight.
All that remains is Gamma
Base. Send in your VTOLs to destroy the AA emplacements, and then
the defensive structures. Then advance your combat group to mop
up. Don't destroy everything. You want to use the extra time at
the end of the mission to prepare for the future. Recover the
Artifact at Gamma Base and complete all of your research.
