does anyone have and play this game, one of my under-rated gems of RTS gaming, but man is the campaign harsh! found it in my room the other week and cannot get passed the second mission in the eurasian dynasty campaign, guiding that dude to the communications tower, i keep getting murdered by those 'alien' defences, anyone got passed that? 

damn good game, though difficulty is a bit steep! can you not email them about the problem or something?
