Mission Briefing
================

"The Brotherhood had two secret labs working on next-generation Tiberium
 weapons reasearch.  The main lab in North Africa was recently captured by GDI.
 The remaining lab is located in Brazil, in a stretch of desolate terrain
 called the Amazon Desert.  GDI has two forward bases and a large army in the
 region and they are mounting attacks on the small defensive force we have
 deployed around the lab.  You need to defend the lab against GDI forces until
 you can build up an army of your own.  Then take the fight to GDI and knock
 out their bases.  The lab facility must be kept intact at all costs."

 - Disruption Tower

==================
Primary Objectives
==================

1)  Protect the Nod Lab.

"The research being conducted at this lab is vital to the war effort.  Protect
 the lab facility until you can build up a force large enough to counter-attack
 and destroy GDI's local base of operations."

2)  Eliminate the GDI Expansion Base to the north.

"Destroying this base will further prove your usefulness to Nod.  You will be
 rewarded with reinforcements and new tech."

3)  Destroy the GDI Construction Yard, Command Post, and Refinery.

"This base is threatening the lab.  Cripple it by destroying these key
 structures.  This will buy us enough time to move critical weapon components
 from the lab to a safer location."

================
Bonus Objectives
================

1)  Capture the Reinforcement Bay.

"Capturing the Reinforcement Bay will give you access to additional
 reinforcements."

===========
Walkthrough
===========

Gather all of your starting forces {Disruption Tower} and pile them above the
north entrance of your base.  Repair all of your structures and stick your
rocket soldiers into the civilian building on the east side of the entrance.
GDI forces will try to assault your position constantly for the first few
minutes of the mission, so use your units to beat them back.  Build more
buggies and bikes from your war factory until you're given the ability to build
Scorpions, then build them with a few buggies.

Once you're told to wipe out the GDI expansion base, send your column north and
crush the place, then return your group back to your war factory and repair any
damaged units.  While you're doing that, build an Air Tower {Calling for
Transport}.  It won't be of much use to you, but you need it to get the intel
entry.

Once your battle group is repaired, move it east over the bridge and clear out
the town there.  Gather the crates around the town, then sit your group in the
path leading north to the GDI base.  Send a Saboteur to the reinforcement bay,
then assault the GDI base while the Saboteur is moving.  Make sure you let him
capture the reinforcement bay before you destroy the main GDI buildings, or
you won't complete the bonus objective.
