For both, the second part of the mission involving building a base and destroying the GLA either originally was not part of the mission, or was simply not yet coded in. The former appears to be an earlier version, as it is completely missing the introduction scene, but they are rather similar. There are two different versions, titled INTRO and INTRO_NS. It was replaced with a Tunnel Network in the final version - maybe it confused too many players who went to look for this missing Stinger Site?

One very minor thing - in the introduction mission, when you see the bikes zoom past the Baikonur base, you could see a Stinger Site in the early version.

This was probably changed because it was considered useless, seeing as you can already build Crusaders and Humvees from your War Factory. Originally, there were no Battlemaster tanks but instead damaged Crusaders and Humvees. At the beginning, you can go to the right after the train bridge to find a few abandoned Chinese tanks.The buildings were reordered slightly, and originally you started out with two Supply Drop Zones rather than just one. The place where the detention camp originally stood is vacant in the final - it was just filled with some Rangers. As the detention camp exists in the original game but not in the expansion, this suggests the map was created at a point where the detention camp still existed. There is a bunch of POW trucks here, but there was originally a detention camp to go along as well. The obvious problem with this is that you're screwed if you do not bring any infantry to the Baikonur base, which was probably the reason this was turned into a secondary objective. In the early version, however, garrisoning the radio station appears to have been a primary objective, possibly for calling in the B2 bomber. While you can garrison the radio station in the final version, it's only a secondary objective, and you can beat the mission perfectly fine without doing so. Since the first mission does not use a lot of text, there is not much to be found here.

The string file of the final version's map exists, but is empty. The early version of the map is titled CINE.
