C+C Zero hour doing my head in.....

[Gee Gee]

I don't want to cheat....don't want no trainers or that type of thing....but the USA mission level 4 is just unbearably hard and has got me tearing my hair out.....anyone completed it and has a good strategy? Feel free to help me out :(

[Revelation]

Well, please don't pull your beautiful hair out. We are all out of Royal wigs.


:rose:

P.S. Sorry I can't help you. I don't play those types of games.

P.S. # 2 If all else fails, show 'em some leg. I know I'd give up if I was them at that point. :D

Hope this can be some help for you, GG :)

This mission begins with a lovely air show over the skies of the Amisbad
Oil Fields. The Quad Cannons are busy trying to shoot those planes, but
there are just too many of them. Now that we have landed, the airstrip
is secured. Build your base! Capture the oil derricks around your base
for a start, just use Construction Dozers to remove those demo traps and
booby traps.

Discouraging Tip! You had better not try to garrison the buildings, or
you'll be sorry
When you are playing as GLA over the LAN or internet, always try to reach
the towns first and use rebels to place booby traps on the buildings, now,
the opponent WILL think twice before trying to enter those buildings. Of
course, he can also use dozers or workers to remove those traps, but that's
too annoying.

Now, build fire bases loaded with Missile Defenders and Pathfinders on
the 2 bridges, and place some Paladins and Avengers next to them to stop
the scud launcher missiles.

Tip! How many Avengers and Paladins do I need?
Regardless of offline games or online games, it would be wise to build
a paladin tank or an avenger for each rocket solider the enemy has, and
2 for each Scud Launcher or Tomahawk Missile they have. However, these
2 units cannot stop artillery shells, so be careful when playing against
China.

While you are building your base, you will be informed that a neighboring
town has been poisoned by GLA propaganda, and are sending units to attack
your base. So, go north and destroy the radio station ASAP. Colonel Burton
is good at this. To clear the occupied structures, simply send in the
Microwave Tanks to ding them out! Ha ha ha!

If you are playing on medium difficulty or above, there will be a SCUD
Storm built, luckily, it is in an outer area of the main base, so use a
microwave tank to ding it and disable it, while Colonel Burton destroys
it. Be careful of that single tunnel network there, as units will ambush
you from inside the building. So, I guess you should kill enough units
to get promoted to a 3-star general, then you can A-10 Strike that network,
after that, nothing can react fast enough to stop Colonel Burton from
destroying the SCUD Storm. After that, I suggest you let Colonel Burton
hang around there, as he can keep the Workers at bay from rebuilding
anything.

Now, it's time to build an attacking force. I recommend attacking from
the Eastern Side of the base, as you have cleared that entrance with Burton
Already. Send in as many Paladins as you like, but build at least 15 of
them, as the enemy just loves to use Scud Launchers and RPG Troopers. Also,
build Tomahawk Missiles and keep them in the rear. Some Humvees with
Pathfinders and Missile Defenders inside can also support your advance.
Wipe them out, all of them. Although Lieutanent Eva may suggest that you
capture some oil derricks there, it is rather difficult to hold them, as
it will cause the GLA to attack with renewed vigor.

Apart from this, reinforcements will also be airdropped in periodically.
Use those units if you are short of cash. Attack from the east entrance,
and you will experience minimal losses, as all the traps have been cleared.
Wipe them out! All of them!

Caution! Highly Explosive Humvees
When a Humvee is destroyed, the infantry inside all die! So, when you notice
that your Humvee's energy bar is almost empty, evacuate all units!

never played it either.

[Gee Gee]

@ Marky Zero Hour is the addon for Command & Conquer Generals, it's an RTS and if you like Warcraft you would love this as well, very similar but only it's tanks and soldiers etc., if you haven't played any of the C+C series you are really missing out, I highly recommend you obtain them pronto ;)

[marky mark]

hmm
so i would have to get command and conquer generals and then the addon?
those pictures look really insane
i have a hard enough time tryin to manage units in wc3 and that game looks even more complicated!!

[Gee Gee]

Yep you need Generals, it's really not any more complicated than Warcraft (I don't like complicated I'm blonde) ;)

W00t I've now finished the USA missions with the help of molles guide and the occasional show of leg :D
