Here you are co-operating with Orange Star CO Andy, Andy doesn't have any bases or infantry to capture bases. He only has battle copters, a bomber and a fighter, which comes in handy. Remember to bring the APC because around day 13 or so the units will start to run out of gas. First take three of your copters west to destroy all the units there except the artillery, it doesn't cause any harm and it's in the missile's attack range. Take on the pipe seam with your bomber and fly south to help Olaf out there.

Olaf's job is to capture the eight cities surrounding the missile. He only has two infantries and two mechs, and no factory to produce more, so don't use them in combat, only for capturing. First use them to capture the cities right to the west of them, then when you get control of the area in the middle, you should start capturing at least one city by day 6.

Use the rest of your northern units flock around the pipe seam, and have one attack it so that the Andy's bomber can take it in one day. Move all of your units in the middle, west, out of the rockets range. Attack the rockets with tanks and move the rest foreward the second day. Gather all of your units in the north with the ones in the middle, and continue attacking, stay out of the north-western rockets range.

In the south take on the air force there as best as possible, take the bombers first, then the battle copters. Capture the airport and build bombers.

When you start to get control in the middle, move some of your units south. Stop production on the base in the west around day thirteen and you'll finish all of the enemy units soon after that. Remember that it isn't enough to destroy all of the enemy units, you have to capture the cities.
