The Commander can pick up power-up cachets in the stages, too, but as you might imagine, being outside the vehicle is dangerous. Gathering and deploying power-ups are essential for success here and you do so by deploying the Commander, an on-foot hero that can actually go out and lay down things like smoke screens to obscure enemy view or repair fields that 'heal' the convoy as it passes through them. Chances are good that routes that provide shortcuts and speedy passage will have heavy resistance or at least not offer a lot of power-up potential. But not only do you decide the configuration of the convoy, you also determine its course through the cities. As you can see the opportunity for strategy is substantial. But that vehicle is a touch slow and has little attack power, so it might not be the best foot forward for taking on the alien forces.

Maybe you should put the APC in front, which has heavy armor. Chances are good you don't want to lead with that. For example, you have a Crawler that's armed to the teeth with devastating missiles, but also has very low armor. The contents and order of the convoy are up to you, and those are big factors that affect your chances of success. You must assemble a convoy of vehicles to weave through the maps, laying waste to the alien defenses.

Each stage sets up a gauntlet of alien forces (surprise, they aren't friendly) for you to destroy вЂ“ or at least survive.
