You decide which units are 4sent to the front lines, and when to unleash the reserves. Your mission 5objectives range from defending strategically vital locations to simply 6destroying all enemy forces in the area. Protect supply convoys or raid 7enemy facilities to uncover technological secrets or fill your storage 8bays so you can repair damaged units or build new ones in your own 9factories.
