One of our secret training facilities is under attack by a wayward company of poorly-trained Soviet forces. Although they managed to surround this position, we have the high ground, and believe that their impulsive commander Moskvin will not hesitate to send his troops crashing against our defenses. We expect you will encounter no problems here.
- Challenge briefing

Defense of The Archipelago is the third main challenge in Commander's Challenge. In this mission, the FutureTech Commander battles Nikolai Moskvin to acquire the Tesla Trooper technology.

Background[]

Moskvin's forces has surrounded a secret FutureTech training facility, intending to destroy it with waves of infantry. However, the FutureTech Commander has the high ground, and FutureTech dismisses Moskvin's forces as poorly trained, trusting that the Commander would have no problem dealing with them.

Strategies and notes[]

  • The commander is only required to destroy or capture the MCV and Barracks of each of the first four bases to defeat them (the remaining structures will be sold instantly). Each time one of Moskvin's bases is defeated, the forces of his remaining bases gain a Veterancy rank.
  • As soon as the mission starts, build three Barracks at the exits of your base and then train three War Bears at each base (note that you need two Reactors and one Refinery) to do this trick but take your time. Put the bear at the exit of the enemy's barrack and train one engineer at each base and capture the construction yard, sell it and let the new engineer capture the Barrack, if you do it quick and synchronize, all of the first four bases will be sold out, simply capture the last base with engineer.

Trivia[]

  • This mission's name may be a reference to the multiplayer online battle arena video game Defense of the Ancients (DotA).
