After the capture of Andy Whitmore and the destruction of EXOM's main base on Trios, only OMNI remains between the Free Radicals and their goal of free mining. Once again, they dispatch Commander Fredrick Olsen Xavier and his squad of elite Black-Ops Commandos to fight for their freedom. Sent to OMNI's main base on the planet Dantooine, Xavier and his men must destroy the final trump card held by OMNI: a trio of Replicators capable of constructing an infinite army.

I have been attaching it. This forum is doing something crazy...
It should be up now. Sorry.

Something is very wrong with this mission -- I've only barely crossed the river when a dialog box comes up indicating that I have completed the mission and should return to the extraction point.

Pretty cool mission - I enjoyed it. I just kept FOX way the hell out of the way until I was down to too few andys to beat the forces I still had to kill. Then, I had located a couple of good choke-points and kept using them and using them. Taking out the last little "island" at the bottom was tough - it's hard to cat-and-mouse when there are two ANDYS waiting at the same level - they won't chase you in any event. Lots of good strategy!

OK, so I've now given this mission a shot. 1.5 hours of sleep I'll never have again.
Anyway, It's hard enough that I think I'll need to start over, though I don't know that it will really be possible in any event. The auto-re-spawn makes it ridiculous - you lose a few Andys per replicator to kill them off. I have a couple of ideas, but that was nastier than I expected. FWIW, I got to the end game with 13 andys and a fox. I took out two replicators, but was down to 2 troops (not counting those holding down the pads, of course), and that's not enough to survive even one wave of spawn. If I can get that far with about 4-5, I guess I can save the central for last.

OK, OK, try 2 wasn't so bad - I actually just replayed my last saved game. Enemies set to "watch" mode make it pretty easy - I lost only one Andy killing the replicators. Then, the surprise ending - a couple of more bit the dust, but I just wasn't worried about it. Interesting mission - I like strategy other than BANG LIMIT ARMIES AGAINST TINY OPENINGS.

Commando missions are always a challenge, because every guy you lose is a big deal. Really great balance on enemy forces. Fun map to explore. Well done.
