Thanks for the advice, Vid.  I managed to beat the mission.

I'm playing version 1.3.  The first eleven or so times I've played the mission, I arrive and three of Major Manson's Sabers are there staring at the remaining half of the bridge.  The last time I played, I was fairly close to the bridge when I got the order to take it out, and this time I got there in time to see my allies take out the first section.  However, I did have to return to base for more ammunition, which took a lot of time.  When I got back, there was indeed an enemy assault tank (I'd never seen one near the bridge before).  Unfortunately, the allied recycler was destroyed by other units.  I'm not sure if it was the scripted event, or if I missed the other assault tanks which should have been with the one I destroyed.

Hmm.  That didn't work.  The same thing happened as the last dozen or so times I've restarted this mission.  I blow the bridge, the objective doesn't change, I sit around with no orders until I get the "Base under attack" message.  In this case, it's Manson's base under attack, not mine.  Whether I am in his base or not, the result is the same.  Enemy units swarm his base, and even when I keep them occupied so that they are not shooting at Manson's recycler, the recycler is suddenly destroyed.

In the mission where the player, as a Scion, must defend Major Manson's base from ISDF attacks, there is a bridge which you are ordered to destroy.  Unfortunately, destroying this bridge and all nearby enemy units does not trigger the event which, I presume, it is supposed to trigger.  The objective is not marked as completed.  After some time the enemy sends a force to Major Manson's recycler, which is destroyed by a script even if the enemies never shoot at it.
