Issue description
I wanted to do a nonstandard combination of actions - let the deserters build the mortarmen barracks, agree to hand them over to the arabs, then as the 3 cargo vehicles are coming in, shoot them. This way I could both steal the cargo and vehicles, and stay on the Legion's good side.

Everything went smoothly until it was time to send Heike to the designated area on the left side. The popup to do so did not appear, and I could not control her to do so manually. Eventually the infinite waves of low-level enemies started, and Heike would keep shooting at Burlak, and I decided to abort the mission.
Steps to reproduce this issue
Start Ru08, "Build-up". Bulldoze the area and build a base. Accept the deserters' offer, and have them come in to build the barracks. Accept the mercenaries' offer and wait for them to come with the cargo vehicles, then shoot at them. Wait to be prompted to send Heike to the designated spot on the left side. <- not possible

Hehe don't expect the missions to be able to cope with such unpredictable strategies :P The original campaign missions are usually quite brittle. I'll look into it the upcoming weekend.
