Three times the charm, finally the last variation of Tanya's Tale! This video will feature the third (South) variation of Tanya's tale. By now we all know the drill... Get the spy in the war factory, hitch a ride to the prison center and get Tanya out! Although we've done this excercise before, I have to say mission is the toughest out of the three, particularly the relentless attacks by the Soviets when still building up your base and economy in the beginning of the mission. Here are some tips to guide you through the process, good luck commander!

*Walkthrough*

*1. Guiding your spy to the war factory*
_This task does not differ much from the other variations of this mission, make sure to watch the dog patrols and to get the timing right of moving into the base. Moving along the north side of the base should prevent the dogs from sniffing out your spy!_

*2. Hitching a ride*
_Hitching a ride in the convoy truck delivers your spy to the prison center, free Tanya and start destroying the air defenses. Just like in variation B, you can't really get Tanya to destroy parts of the base since its entrance is blocked by a flame tower. More importantly, don't destroy the prison, this will trigger a V2 rocket launcher to come and get you! Escort Tanya to the Chinook for evac._

*3. Capture enemy base*
_Reinforcements will arrive from the north, use your tanks to clear a way into the northern soviet base and capture the war factory, construction yard and service depot. Capture the service depot first so you can repair your tanks (you'll need them to fend of incoming waves of enemy armor)._

*4. Expand base and build up economy*
_Having the first building captured, quickly destroy the sub pen and landing craft, this will prevent the Soviets from landing troops and armor on the western beach. Make sure to build a refinery and construct harvesters (move your harverster to the western iron ore fields (the one to the east will easily trigger enemy units that will start attacking you harvesters._

*5. Production and harvester hunting*
_Start producing heavy tanks from the Soviet war factory. Use collected resources to repair the base and create your first battle group of tanks to hunt enemy harvesters. Crippling the enemy economy will be an important step to constrain their unit production. Start by exploring and clearing the eastern iron ore fields. Beware that this will trigger many units (particularly infantry). Keep an eye out for enemy harvesters (they will surely construct new ones and also move to the western iron ore field)._

*6. Ranged attacks and final blow*
_Start building V2 rocket launchers and use their ranged attacks to clear out enemy defenses (particularly the tesla coil guarding the base entrance). Use your tanks to breach the base and destroy any remaining structures. Victory will be yours!_
