Lab Maps

Lab maps are used to unlock an extra mission in each country.  Capturing the laboratory in these missions allow the use of Neotanks for that country throughout the rest of the campaign.  Finding the lab maps is generally a favourable action as Neotanks become very useful towards the end of the campaign.

If you complete a mission with a lab map in and save your game, you do not have another opportunity to get the lab map.  It's acceptable to carry on through the campaign without them however, so don't give up!

Orange Star - Test of Time: Find the map in Flak Attack (Normal Campaign) or in Andy's Time (Hard Campaign).

Blue Moon - Neotanks!?: Find the map in Toy Box (Normal Campaign and Hard Campaign).

Yellow Comet - Sea of Hope: Find the map in Show Stopper (Normal Campaign and Hard Campaign).

Green Earth - Danger X9: Find the map in Sinking Feeling (Normal Campaign).
