Through a series of airstrikes, airborne kaskrin drops, ogryn reinforcements and a leman russ giving covering fire, I managed to extract the 60 imperial conscripts from an UTTER FAILURE and back to my base for the medics. Suck it Tau.
They all lived to the end of the game too.

This smells more like an add-on to DoW: Soulstorm o_O
Details?
RA2: Yuri's Revenge. Soviet Campaign.
For those who know RA2 (before Yuri's Revenge came out), there's this one Allied mission where you protect Einstein's Lab and the Chronosphere for an allotted amount of time.
That mission in RA2: YR, in the Soviet Campaign? You become the Soviet 'aggressors' instead, due to time shenanigans.
How I beat it on the hardest difficulty, easy?
Sent all starting troops (after destroying the perimeter bases which is a guarantee) using the perimeter of the map traveling from NW > NE > SE to consolidate my forces. Made a quick improvised base using my MCV and trained a few troops to fit in the flak tracks for a hit and run, then sent my whole force from SE to the SW base.
The starting troop strength is high if you maneuver quickly. Won the game in around ~7-10(?) ish minutes compared to the par time of an hour(?) or so.
...Though this was due to tons of tactical and strategic experience in playing RA2 for a lot of my childhood >_> yeah...that's one of the few games I had on my (borrowed) computer from my brother.
...This was also before discovering there were actual guides to missions online! >:I
Didn't have internet back then. mmph.
