AboutFrankie B. Expertise I can answer any question in the Command and Conquer series including Red Alert 2, my main expertise is the missions. If you have a problem, then tell me which game it is the mission level and the problem you are havingI shall do my best to help you with the best possible score too. I will get back to the person within 2 days maximum.
Experience Have been playing the Command and Conquer series and other strategy games for as long as I could remember. Always have been an excellent strategist, I'm not the best, but I am quite efficient. As mentioned my expertise is all the command and conquer games, including expansion packs.
Question I have Command and conquer generals and have beaten the game with the USA, GLA (regretibly with them I needed to cheat), and right now I am trying to win with China. I do not wish to cheat with this one since I haven't so far. I am on the last battle and have little time or space to create a base, and even if I did have the time, money or resources to create the command center while fighting off the enemies, a scud storm would crush it within seconds of its creation since I couldn't buy the time I needed before the countdown was zero. I have not install the expansion pack yet so I guess you could say this is the second to last battle. I was thinking if I could only defend myself long enough to create all the buildings needed to get a propaganda center (fortunately doesn't require the command center) I can get hackers to make me money and wouldn't need to worry anymore about my resources for a while. ANy suggestions you could give me would be very helpful.
Answer here is part of the walkthrough that i wrote (its for this mission:
At the start, you will face a force of tanks and maybe some infantry.
Upgrade your overlord tanks with the sentry guns. Keep heading east
until you reach the GLA outpost which will have several scorpion
tanks defending it, so kill and destroy everything there and then use
your 2 construction dozers to establish base near the supplies given.
When you start constructing your base, you face another problem
which is that the GLA has finished building a SCUD Storm, meaning that
you have 5 minutes to do something about it. Keep your tanks around the
north entry of your base at ALL TIMES. The west entry of this area is
not accessible by the enemy.
After destroying a few more armoured GLA units from your base, you will
receive a promotion. Use the points on all the 3 artillery barrages, EMP
bomb and cluster bomb. You will still get a few more points when reaching
5 star general rank.
You will need to find the SCUD storm on the map somewhere.
Now hopefully if you have the money, build an airfield which should take
about then some MIGs. Use this Mig to scout the area for the SCUD storm
and find it. Look at the VERY TOP - middle of the map to find this
SCUD Storm and as quickly as possible, launch artillery
and any other attacks that you can use to destroy it or disable it for
sometime. The good news is that about most of the time, the
Scuds do not actually launch straight after they are ready so this is
your window of opportunity to destroy it. Now once you have eliminated
this structure from the GLA, then that problem is over.
You will notice numerous stinger sites about half way through the
map and stretches out towards the main base on the top of the level.
You should be well into getting some money, so send a construction
dozer with a few tanks to the left of the map just above where you
started, except you need to go around and then you can utilize a
supply dock. You might want to disable an area of stinger sites if
you want to continue with fighter jets towards the enemies base, which
is the best bet to completing this mission as soon as possible.
Now I know this might be troubling to do, but get into building those
nuclear weapons as soon as possible. I ended up playing the mission
with 2 nuclear weapons. Okay while the enemy are trying to bust in your
base, but have a hard time getting to your base because of those overlord
tanks you should have guarding the entry.
Build about 3 airfields, all with MIGs and Mig armour upgrade, but spend
your sweet time doing this as the amount of time you would spend waiting
for your cash to go up is quite long.
One target at a time, send these MIGs to destroy a stinger site each time.
Not only will it eliminate this threat, but will make the enemy considerably
weaker hence making this mission a bit easier to cope with.
The only pain in the butt is the fact that the GLA keep sending in quad cannon
reinforcements so you will need to do something about it, perhaps use the
Battlemaster tanks in a group to destroy these quicker, but the flame tanks
will provide a 'thicker' defence wall and will make some of these enemy units
impossible to pass a barrage of flame walls from dragon tanks with the black
napalm upgrade.
Alternatively, a more risky way of destroying these stinger sites is by
using normal tank units but you will encounter numerous amounts of opposition
now and again - in particular rocket buggies band quad cannons and
you will be forced to spend more money - hence less to spend for units
towards the end of the level.
Place some rocket troops in the buildings just north from your base with
your tanks guarding the entry because big groups of rocket buggies and
quad cannons start to come in! If you want to go for a non-super weapon
attack on this level, go for building overlords, dragon tanks and maybe
a few nuke cannons but that is optional. Sounds like a lot of money to spend
but when you capture those supply docks, it will be a lot easier to do this...
eventually.
After destroying the stinger sites around the middle of the map area, keep
using any MIGs you have built to attack the remaining structures on the top
of the map, but if you have not destroyed all stinger sites, make your MIGs
fly towards the left side of the map after passing the middle of it and then
swerve right as soon as you reach the base area.
Once you have destroyed a huge majority of the stingers, quad cannons, and
rocket buggies and troops, then the resistance is weak and build some troop
crawlers as support into areas which have some resistance. Send these into the
main base [at least 5] and destroy or capture all the buildings - if your low
on money, capture and sell!
Once you have destroyed some remaining troops, light vehicles and
structures, the mission is over and so is the campaign.
