How to unlock the Second Target achievement in Supreme Commander 2 - Definitive Guide
Addition: I reference directions based on the starting view of the mission. I understand you can rotate the camera and that changes perspective, but there isn't much need to rotate the camera for this mission.
This mission is not difficult at all, even on hard. First off, build 5 or 6 anti-air turrets at the north-east corner of your first base near your Land Factory and position an engineer in the middle of them. You will then be safe from attacks pretty much indefinitely. Build up a large force of Wasps and Bombers (ensure you make them hover over the south-east end of your base so enemy attacks don't destroy them), and move to destroy the first objective. You will have lots of time to build more than you need.
Once you gain control of the second base, build 4 ground turrets at the end of the ramp at the north-east end of this base, and position an engineer directly behind them. The enemy will send small, ineffective ground attacks in this direction, but your turrets will mow them down fast and get repaired quickly by the engineer.
If you are aiming for the hidden objective of building a mass extractor on each of the 2 mass spots to the west of the enemy base, just destroy all of the left side buildings of the enemy base and leave the right half alone and send in an engineer escorted by Rock Head tanks and Wasps. Once you complete the objective, the remaining part of the enemy base will fall easily.

Here's a video the mission played on hard by someone on PC. All objectives completed.
Primary Objectives:
- On the Defensive
- Look to the Sky
- Base of Operations
Secondary Objectives:
- Economic Meltdown
- Research Technology (Broadsword)
Hidden Objectives:
- Economic Opportunist
Walkthrough:
Start with building Anti-Air turrets (AA) in the northeastern part of your base, set 1-2 Engineers on patrol as they reclaim any wreckage for mass and start building up your base. Add shields to your turrets if you want, but it is more effective to construct Wasps to aid your turrets in this mission. Once you've built 20 Wasps and 20 Broadswords pursue your primary objectives, but continue to build more Broadswords and Wasps.
After you gain control of the 2nd base order your new army to the Mass Extractors north of you and destroy everything, then build Extractors yourself for the hidden objective 'Economic Opportunist', then finish off your enemy as you see fit.
