There are 2 points along the defensive wall where you are invulnerable
from the tanks bullets. When things get hectic it's best to camp there
and just let them hit the wall, so you retreat back to the next stage.
Then you get a chance to start over without loosing all your lives :)

Of course this only works 3 times, once you retreat back to the final
stage (your supply dump) it's all or nothing. It's worth letting the
tanks capture the final base just for the comedy capture animation
sequence (painstakingly and lovingly recreated from the original,
nearly pixel for pixel! :)

Cheers,

Rich
