Sentinel Slayer 1.86, Destroy the industrial complex in Austria Options

[RedDeadSmeg]

The Russians have built a massive base in western Austria. It contains numerous industrial sites and war factories capable of mass producing the fearsome but slow Sentinel tank as well as rapidly deploying swarms of Kodiak tank divisions. They aim to use this facility to overrun Italy and France with tank hordes within a matter of weeks, and due to its location, this will be possible.

Destroying this base will be difficult. There is only one land entrance which is guarded by four Tesla Coils and Grumbles defend the skies, so a standard assault would be suicide. We will need to try and bring down the forward base defence's power plants covertly, and our best shot is 'borrowing" the transports that run as part of the supply convoy to the base. Capturing the transport will allow us to sneak commandos into the base and knock out the defence's power, only then can we call in heavier firepower to demolish the base.

Good luck General, oh... and happy new year!

Objectives:

1. Prepare to ambush on the Russian convoy. The Transports MUST survive.

2. Bomb the defence's power plants.

3. Retreat to the south-west to call for reinforcements.

4. Hold off the Russians at the village until the reinforcements arrive.

5. Destroy all Russian structures.

Hints:

You have 60 seconds to prepare an ambush, and eliminating the soldiers on the cliffs will allow you to use the barricades. (Using Guard Area is of great use here)

Make sure your commandos are in the transports when they are approaching or the mission will be a lot harder.

Where you garrison your forces during objective 4 may be key to success or failure.

Although there is only one land route to the base, exploring the map might be a good idea.

This was fun. I came across a bug or two- nothing very noticeable except for the fact that the Maulers tend to eject your commandos just before the entrance to the base for some reason. It doesn't happen if you send them closest to the left side of the path though. Oh, and that's a whooole lot of Sentinel Tanks. I'd love to see a mission for the ECA using several teams of Venom Armor. Anyway, I loved this mission. Not too hard, not too easy, and some (nasty? I won't spoil for others) surprises along the way.

Overall, I preferred this to your Pandora Rising mission. Maybe because of the base building content and more relaxed pace. Keep it up, if you're still making your own missions

Thanks!

Never expected this mission to still be played

The base building in this mission is certainly more relaxed than Pandora's Lock, I think that comes down to Russian being an offensive steamrolling faction so they find it hard to play too defensively. For what I consider to by my worst mission overall, those are some really nice comments.

As for a Venom Armour map like this, you just gave me a nice idea for a covert backstabbing mission

What about that Venom Spec Ops infiltration in Scandinavia to destroy a bunch of Russian radar posts?

Which mission it that? Sounds quite interesting to play.

Probably that one.

You nailed it
