The Air Force General is extremely single-minded and will relentlessly barrage the base with aircraft. Spam Quad Cannons to deter his air power and infantry, then use Superweapons to destroy his base inside out.

Walkthrough[edit]

Create about seven additional workers. Build a Barracks and a Supply Stash. Research the Capture Building upgrade and produce two Rebels to capture the two closest Oil Derricks. The Supply Dock close to the bridge can also be another option as Camo Netting is available for all structures.


Use the four small civilian structures to garrison one RPG Trooper each. Build an Arms Dealer, deploy one Radar Van, then tons of Quad Cannons. Space them out so Auroras won't nuke them all in one hit. Stinger Sites can also draw fire from enemy air units, and a Tunnel Network can help Quad Cannons recuperate. If possible, a Palace can be built early for Black Markets to provide an alternative income source, and the AP Bullets to improve Quad Cannons' damage.

The aerial assaults will pick up after the Ranger paradrops in the form of Raptors, Stealth Fighters (Stinger Sites and Tunnel Networks will reveal them), Auroras and Combat Chinooks. Auroras are especially dangerous because of their guaranteed alpha strikes. Don't panic, keep adding Quad Cannons and Black Markets while keeping an eye on the Stinger Sites. Eventually, start building some SCUD Storms to prepare for an offense, which can occur in the following ways:

  • Load up Battle Buses with RPG Troopers and dump them into Tunnel Networks. Use the SCUD Storm to destroy the Cold Fusion Reactor cluster behind the base to shut off the Patriots, then place a Sneak Attack Tunnel with Radar Van's ability. The RPG Troopers will destroy virtually everything, and Quad Cannons can be used to defeat infantry.
  • Launch a full-blown land assault. Use Toxin Tractors to eliminate infantry in garrisoned structures, Quad Cannons for aircraft, and Rocket Buggies for Patriots. Fire a SCUD Storm near the Supply Dock close to the Supply Center before hitting the Patriots to eliminate most, if not all enemy aircraft in this area so the rest can rush in.
