Mission 04A
Last Line of Defense

Operation Briefing
Leasath's Miller Unit is meeting up at Kingshill. Based on the sheer strength of the enemy force, an offensive aimed at retaking Port Patterson appears imminent. A partially completed highway runs directly from Kingshill straight into the heart of Port Patterson. The enemy intends to use this highway to swiftly spearhead its way through our defenses.

Their ground forces must be destroyed if Port Patterson is to remain ours. Our soldiers are in a precarious position. If they are attacked now, they will have no choice but to abandon the port. One more thing. On the highway leading to Port Patterson, there is a tunnel. If an enemy tank makes it to the tunnel, it will be beyond the reach of any air attack. If even one enemy tank enters the tunnel, our mission will fail. Please make sure this doesn't happen.

Operation Debriefing
We've succeeded in preventing the Miller Unit from invading the port. Leasath forces are in retreat. Let's hope they've learned their lesson and think twice before trying to take Port Patterson again.

I just played the mission again and screwed around and found out that the Aurelian Units at the middle tunnel entrance is 2nd Platoon.
The unit at the bottom stationed is 3rd Platoon.
Nothing important to know. Just an interesting fact.

Also if you destroy in the incoming waves everything but the AA guns then they won't enter the tunnel once they are infront of it but instead follow you a bit on the road and start to attack you.
