Attack from the bottom left, and have your Acid Clouds target one tile away from Plymouth Guard Posts (you'll be able to hit them due to splash, but they won't be able to hit you).

this mission is very fun, I had to start again twelves times  :huh:

I use thor's hammer to desactivate structures, but not destroy them: they rebuild, but repare never   ;)

Take their CCs out asap and then you're pretty much done... guard posts aren't hard to take out with acids or thors.

PS. I always go in by the right entrance...

mission 12 is more like... weird:|

in 11, you should aim for taking out as few units at a time as possible, whilst advancing and killing a lot. Also, try to avoid things coming up from behind. Got my evac transport to 100 HP like that because of a stupid ESG...

This mission is relatively easy.   Don't worry about killing vecs, you can litterally just steam-roll your way through the enemy base.   Let the tigers go first, they can take the hits.   Use your lynx more supportively and keep those panthers ready.   Make a beeline for their CCs and power, taking care to avoid unnecessary engagements.   Once all these are down, you can take care of their remaining vehicles with ease.   Any remaining guardposts should not be a threat.   DON'T waste your time killing buildings, just go right by them.   Those buildings are all quite useless without any power or a CC connection...
Note that Thor's Hammer outranges anything, includeing ESG.   Use this to your advantage!   AI will NOT attack the ground in front of your tanks to hit them.   Also, try to keep your vehicles in as big a group as you can, they'll take down enemies faster leading to less losses.
The key to this mission is to simply move fast.   You can handle the units, just take out their productive capacity ASAP, before they get too strong.

My advice for this one is the same as for plymouth 10:
make 3 groups of units:  
mission crtitical (transports & trucks)                  keep them covered
Long range attack (thor's and rails)                    Your GP killers
Short Range attack (all other weapons)               gaurds for your trucks   and vehicle killers
Use your long range weapons like thor's hammer to take out GPs
Take out all their power and CCs and the GPs will all be off-line.  
Steam-roll any vehicles that get in your way but don't bother to hunt them down
I don't remember if tigers spawn out of their garages after you get the goods as in Plymouth 10 but it doesn't hurt to take them out either way
Any damage you do to their base doesn't affect the next mision

Also, this is what Sierra seys to do...

Easy Level
Mission Objectives
You must rescue the Scientists and capture the Gene Bank. Once acquired, they must be returned to the convoy’s starting location.
1)You must destroy all Advanced Labs and the Spaceport.
Tips from the Test Labs
Start at the Southwestern entrance to the Plymouth colony and go through it leaving nothing but rubble behind.  
Use your EMP's and Thor's Hammers to quickly reduce Guard Towers.  Keep your combat units grouped together with your Scouts, Cargo Truck and Evacuation Transport bringing up the rear.  Put your Tigers in the front of your attack as they are the slowest and therefore set the pace.  They also pack the biggest punch, and there is little that can stand up to a Thor's Hammer Tiger!
Make sure to Scout the Advanced Labs and retrieve the Gene Bank and Scientists before you blow them up!
Normal Level
Mission Objectives
You must rescue the Scientists and capture the Gene Bank. Once acquired, they must be returned to the convoy’s starting location.
1)You must destroy all Advanced Labs and the Spaceport.
Tips from the Test Labs
Enter the base via the entrance in the southwest corner of the map. The best strategy is to disable all of the Plymouth Vehicle Factories so that they can not manufacture more combat units. You can accomplish this in a couple of ways.  You can Disable all Command Centers, thus disabling all other Plymouth structures.  You can destroy all Power generation facilities. You can also try destroy the Vehicle Factories themselves. Once the Vehicle Factories are out of the way, the mission becomes a lot easier
Be careful of the EMPs and Spiders.  Taking out the Arachnid Factories will help prevent losing your units to EMP/Spider attacks.
If you drop below a certain number of units, reinforcements will arrive.  They also show up when you pick up the Gene Bank and Scientists.  Any remaining enemy units will attack you at that point, so be ready to defend yourself.
Hard Level
Mission Objectives
You must rescue the Scientists and capture the Gene Bank. Once acquired, they must be returned to the convoy’s starting location.
2)You must destroy all Advanced Labs and the Spaceport.
Tips from the Test Labs
Enter Plymouth from the southwest.  Use Thor's Hammer to take out the structures along the ridge, especially the Command Center and Vehicle Factory.
Watch out for vortexes in the desert and storms going across the map.  Either of those can destroy your Cargo Trucks or Evacuation Transport, ending the mission.
Move carefully and slowly and pick off as many of the Factories and Guard Posts as you can without taking damage.
When you have picked up the Gene Bank and Scientists, all remaining enemy units will charge after those vehicles.  Be ready, or even better, take out as many of them as you can before you pick up the last item.
Dropping below a certain number of units will bring in reinforcements that will head to your starting convoy location.
