This is story related and cannot be missed.
After you capture the first objective, the airfield is the first objective on your left. I recommend that you go for this one last. There are a lot of enemy control nodes around it and many floors/levels around it where the enemy can pick you off from above.
Recommended solution:
1) leave one hero/commander at the eclipse in the beginning (NOT GEARY, he is needed to capture the nodes)
2) Capture the first point with the other 3 heroes. NOTE: make sure to use your powers and right after you capture the node because you will be attacked by an enemy hero.
3) Once you capture the first control node, keep your heros/commanders there for now. Build refineries on it and save up for units.
4) Build at least 3 stalkers and 3 arc hammers. Move these units to the first low control point on your right. Once the control node is captured activate the artillery mode on your arc hammers. Leave all these units there and if they die, replace them.
5) Build at least 3 hunters. Send them to attack the objective closest to the control node that you just captured to clear it but they won't be able to capture it (see next step).
6) Send your heroes to the hunters' location to capture the objective. You will be ambushed by the enemy here and at every outer node. (you might consider doing a save and continue here or soon after)
7) In a counter clock-wise fashion, move around the map and build more stalkers, arc hammers and hunters and fortify the lower nodes and use 3 hunters and your heroes/commander to capture the objective/upper/outer control nodes. (I recommend saving and continuing after you capture each objective)

The particular node you are talking about is my step number two. And in step two it says that you will be attacked by an enemy hero. I can add the info about only Geary can cap. Honestly, I didn't know that only Geary can cap because I always sent all three heroes together to cap the nodes

One vital information missing from your guide is that you have to control a particular node on the map before you can control the objective associated with it. Only when you control a node (usually close to the objective) will you be able to capture the objective. Also, only Geary can control the objectives, and once he does, an enemy hero will spawn next to him, so it's best if you bring troops with him. I found out that Hunters (helos) worked well in this level too.

To do this mission on hard there is a easy trick, this took me 10 minutes.
First off, of course keep 1 hero other than Gaery to guard the Eclipse. Then take the other 3 heros, capture the Node, if you want you can start saving up your resources, but I instead went as fast as possible and left 1 Stalker to defend that base.
Note: Make sure to upgrade every base/Node maximum. I then took my Hero's and went to the first power Node in the middle, here is the annoying part.
You must then get some hunters and attack the next Node on the right of where you start. once that is cleared you must get Gaery over and capture that node on top, I would recommend leaving the other 2 hero's to protect the node below.
Once you capture the Node to the right build another Stalker, and call your other stalker over to this base. After you have this base just keep going to every node in the line going right.
Always send in the hunters first, then send in the Stalkers once it is clear. Capture inside node, outside node, inside node, outside node, until the final one.
Now the only thing you really have to be afraid of is the inside nodes as they are the hardest to defend. But every node you capture, make sure to save. once you get past the 2nd base things get much easier and you have more resources to use. Keep building Hunters, keep building Stalkers.
Truthfully, this isn't a hard mission if you save every once and a while. And the rest of the campaign was a joke when I learned all the controls. GL, hopefully you will see it as easy as I did.

Story-related. In Mission 12 your goal is to recalibrate stations by simply capturing the 5 main nodes at the borders of the map attached to each of them but to do so, you also need to capture the secondary nodes linked to them located at the center of the map. One of those 5 main nodes is the airfield station. In all honesty I can't say for sure which one it is but as you need to capture them all, you can't miss it.
