The facility in the pacific ocean which you see as soon as you become aware of the avatar project can not be attacked (yet!). Overall, I think 3/5 is a fair score for this game. This isn't done with the region of this facility yet, so I should better do that soon so I can take out that facility quickly when the aliens get close to completion. Eventually I got some damage on the last 2 avatars (with that huge range AOE your avatar gets) and luckily they both decided to teleport away from their massive army and right in among my remaining troops where they could be finished off easily. But before you can attack a facility, you have to establish contact with the local resistance of the region. You can only remove Avatar progress that isnt from the extra Avatar facilities. As you can see by the red square below it, the facility in this screenshot has only collected one point yet, so it is not yet a priority. This command removes the specified amount of doom from the Avatar Project. Killing all three Avatars wins the game, so keeping away from the other aliens to focus on the Avatar may work as a last stand, even if means continuously falling back through the level to keep ahead of the aliens. When you successfully attack such a facility, the aliens lose the progress from that facility and they have to build a new one in a different region. After a turn or two, two more will spawn in from the other portals, accompanied by alien pods of varying composition and threat level. The progression of the avatar project is 'collected' in the 'alien facility' sites which look like this on the global map:
