Never fear, Tanya's here. Tank destroyers too. Keep a few of these around your base and you won't regret it. Yuri sends a lot of tanks at you in this mission. But do keep Tanya safe when these tanks are around. There are oil derricks to the east and you're going to need to capture and keep them safe. Treat this area like a base of your own when you manage to take it. That is the first priority here (other than a defendable base) and I found it best to take four tank destroyers and Tanya. There aren't many tanks here and it should be yours very quickly. Take the helicopter back at your base and load it with five engineers and capture all the derricks. I'm not very fond of these robot tanks so I constructed two prism towers around each of the outer derricks. I also built power plants here to make effective use of the land. After all if this place goes down I'm ruined anyway. On that note it might be wise to build some pill boxes as well as they are cheap and require no power.

I preferred not to have such an important area guarded by strong units that can be mind controlled. I don't want to lose a single derrick. I even placed a war factory here because Yuri's main base is just across the bridge. We'll exploit that weakness later. After this is done you're pretty rich and can afford that battle lab you've wanted all along. Now it's time to rescue Einstein, which is pretty easy. You can see on the southwest corner of the wall where the great pyramid is that there is an explosive barrel. Swim Tanya across the river and destroy that barrel. Now you're in the base and have a very easy time using the 's'top trick to kill every infantry here. Now go about destroying the bioreactors. All but one which you should capture with an engineer via helicopter. But do NOT destroy the psychic dominator. With all the bioreactors destroyed a transport comes to pick up einstein. You will be granted control of the psychic dominator for five minutes before it self destructs. This is only enough time to use it once so make it count. I used it on the group of lasher tanks near the center. I did a lot of damage to Yuri's base with this group. Destroy his construction yard then try to do as much damage as possible after that! He won't be able to rebuild anything. I ended up with a hollow base with a barracks and a bunch of bioreactors remaining. His tank forces were now nonexistant and irreplacable. I built a war factory on the new base and a few prism tanks (make the new war factory primary, we want to be closer to yuri when we deploy the units) and finished off Yuri's base - never wander too close to psychic towers! No problem. Even less of one if you have a chronosphere ready to deploy some prism tanks.
