Yeah... I would agree with you that it is so easily defended, but,
I suppose make it too hard to defend would make the yellow side
crazy, thus I only add one artillary there (or was it there already? don`t remember)
IMO, the major reason why it's so easily defended is not the troops.
It's because the shop can only be reached via the two tiny bridges
and the railway. All of these entrances can be blocked easily.

I like that. Why don't you make it a mission with two stages? First is
to get to <arbitrary base> to recover the documents the spy hid there.
When you finally have the intel you realize you can't send it back to
the HQ because of the jamming station. Now you still need to take it
offline to win.

I don't know. Calling it a jamming station would make it very clear
what it's all about, though.

I'd call this a shed, but that's probably not what you're looking for ;-)
Train depot sounds ok to me, but better to ask one of the natives around
here.

And ... finally, here it is, it took me 50 turns to complete this mission, I
once wonder if I would make it or not to take the radar station. And, the
story has been modified.

Hope you enjor it, this mission seems a bit too hard for me.
Haven't had the time to play it yet, so that's coming later.
