Empire Earth Speedrun (Russian Campaign) - A Change of Heart

Objectives:
Build a base consisting of 3 Cyber Factories, 2 Docks, and 1 Navy Yard on Cuba.
Replace the Cuban Capitol with one of your own.
Build and defend a Time Machine on Cuba.

This mission is divided in two parts. First, the conquering of Cuba, followed by Molotov's desertation and the re-conquering of Cuba from Novaya Russia.
The first part comes down to getting a large enough army into Cuba to clear it of its defenses so you can sneak in civilians to build the necessary buildings. Artillery would be the obvious choice, but they have a low sight radius which is actually problematic. So instead, I build Howitzers. A few Ares are added to escort them and get rid of any infantry that tries to destroy the canons. Again, anti-air guns are a small problem, so my starting forces deal with those.
Of course, constructing buildings costs wood, and I spend a very large amount of it this mission. Rather than gather it manually, I just build and cancel Artillery until my Wood is more than high enough.
The second part of the mission is supposed to be really difficult, because you give away all the buildings and units you build before to Novaya Russia. But with this strategy, they don't have an army left, only a handful of reinforcements and a few constructed units. The few units I'm given, along with some cautionary towers and AA guns, are more than plenty to survive. Sadly, waiting for the time machine to charge takes a whole 10 minutes real time, so I spent the majority of this mission screwing around.
