The Laser General will target your Stinger Sites and Command Center repeatedly until a SCUD Storm has been built, and it cannot survive three consecutive rounds of Particle Cannon strikes, so don't always rely on them.
Put a few soldiers in the civilian structures in the middle of the map, back them up with a few units and Workers to stop his units dead in their tracks.
It will take a long time to reach Level 5 to reach your Sneak Attack General’s Power, so sit back, relax, and keep rebuilding lower-price structures until you could afford to lay siege on his base and tear it up from the inside.
Key strategies[edit | edit source]
- Enemy units will pour in under the bridge from one of the roads. Garrison the closest structure with RPG Troopers, then force-fire to clear the rest so they do not obstruct line of sight. There's more than enough time to also back it with a Palace. Place a Stinger Site in the middle to distract Particle Cannons
- The Eastern and Western Flanks can be protected very easily by a Quad Cannon and Tunnel Network each to kill off Colonel Burton and Comanches.
- There are four oil derricks located in the northeast corner of the map, but capturing them isn't necessary.
Walkthrough[edit | edit source]
Queue up eight workers for fast construction of your base. Build a Supply Stash and a Barracks, then 10 RPG Troopers. Don't worry about Rangers - If you really need to counter them, the Quad Cannon, Jarmen Kell and Toxin Tractor will all prove better. Build an Arms Dealer to the northwest, a Palace near the frontlines and a Stinger Site in the middle of the civilian structures. Purchase the Fortified Structures upgrade from the Palace.
When the Palace is complete, start building Black Markets. As long as you replace your Stinger Sites in time, the Particle Cannon will rarely if ever target them or the Arms Dealer.
Use Tunnel Networks and Quad Cannons to protect the flanks. If possible, add some Stinger Sites as well. If you fear Colonel Burton even with them, place some additional Quad Cannons with Radar Vans within the base.
With all the resources rolling in, build one more Barracks and ten Battle Buses. Fill the Battle Buses with RPG Troopers, and load them in the Tunnel Networks (be sure to have one Tunnel Network in the back of the base so even if the Laser Tanks get there, the Battle Buses will survive). When the Sneak Attack Tunnel is available, use Radar Van's ability to deploy the Tunnel, then flood the base with Battle Buses, prioritizing the Particle Cannons above all else. The RPG Troopers will nuke any Laser Tanks/Dozers that come their way so Quad Cannons can be employed to pick off the Rangers and Comanches. Then, destroy the Command Center, Barracks, Supply Center, Strategy Center, War Factories, Cold Fusion Reactors and Air Fields.
Mission accomplished!
