that is what the Patriot Missiles are for. A couple dreadnoughts may take pot shots at your barracks. This way, if by some miracle the Soviets succeed in destroying your primary base at Pearl Harbor, you will be able to continue preparing for a counterattack relatively undisturbed. Deploy MCV and establish a backup base, starting with an ore refinery. (The Soviets for some reason only send a couple engineers at a time, no conscripts or tanks even on hard mode). Once there, take the airport and have your rifle squad take up sandbag positions. load the MCV, engineers, and a rifle squad onto the hovercraft, the proceed north from Oahu until reaching Kauai (northern island).



The loss of the outpost served to warn the Americans of the scope of the invasion and thus, they prepared for the assault and also began to build their navy to counter the Soviets, namely with their Aegis Cruisers to fight the Dreadnoughts' missiles and their Aircraft Carriers to pound the Soviets in retaliation. The invasion did not take the Americans by surprise due to their intel beating the Soviets to the punch, but proved overwhelming to the Niihau outpost, which was levelled by Dreadnoughts and used as a staging point for the attack on Oahu, followed by a direct strike against the Pearl Harbor naval base. This time American intelligence knew of this beforehand and set up outposts across the islands to defend against the invasion and dispatched their best commander to lead the defense. In order to safeguard their presence in the Pacific, they decided to attack and secure the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, apparently trying to replicate the Japanese success of the Pacific War from the original WWII. As the American military and civilian leadership return to Washington, DC from Canada, the Soviet Union was becoming increasingly desperate as they were losing their gains in the American homeland and were now facing attacks from the European Allies.
