Early in the game, there is an unguarded supply pile to the east of the map. However, there are far cheaper ways to distract the Particle Cannons.

Start this level building one additional Dozer. Remember to put a little distance between all structures and build the barracks, Reactor, and Supply Center. Garrison infantry (2-4 Red Guards and 6 Tank Hunters) in the building closest to the base and the road in the middle, as that's where the bulk of his forces will be. A Gattling Cannon placed just within the middle can help fight off the Comanches. The Bunker must be left empty until the Nuclear Missile has been built, serving primarily as bait until then. Gattling Cannons should also guard the roads on both sides to prevent Colonel Burton from getting in the base, although he isn't used at all when the Particle Cannons are in play.

Start building a War Factory right away followed by the Propaganda Center, internet center (don't forget to fill it with Hackers and purchase the Satellite Hack ability later on) and Nuclear Missile. Again, space them properly to avoid Particle Cannon strikes from obliterating several at once.

Once the Nuclear Missile has been finished, Particle Cannons will consistently attack it. The structure itself can survive a single Particle Cannon strike, but a Dozer is needed to constantly repair it for the next two. Remember to have backup Dozers ready, as Speaker Towers won't help much if the Dozer gets caught in the beam.

The structure itself can survive a single Particle Cannon strike, but a Dozer is needed to constantly repair it for the next two. Remember to have backup Dozers ready, as Speaker Towers won't help much if the Dozer gets caught in the beam. Ideally, the Dozers should be positioned south of the structure so it stays out of the beam.


Once the Nuclear Missile is ready, follow it up with a level 3 Artillery Barrage to destroy all three Particle Cannons.
Destroy all three Particle Cannons with a level 3 Artillery Barrage and one Nuclear Missile. They will not be rebuilt.


The base defenses are extremely daunting. The Laser Defense Turrets and Fire Bases will destroy Overlords easily, and there are Missile Defenders/Pathfinders garrisoned in every tower. If that wasn't enough, Laser Tanks and Comanches will be constantly dispatched to cripple them. Artillery must be used to neutralize them, but Nuclear Missiles are also an option, as there's more than enough room to field them and Reactors.

If going for a conventional assault, remember to destroy his Air Fields and War Factories to prevent him from producing more units.


==Alternate Strategy==
This level is initially extremely intimidating.  You start out with a Command Center and bulldozer – while the Laser General begins with three Particle Cannons ready to blast away.
The land assault starts slowly and this will give you a chance to form rudimentary defensive positions by garrisoning the buildings centered between your base and the Laser General’s base.
Build a solid defense, create Internet hackers and accumulate enough funds to build two Nuclear Missiles at once.  This way, they are less susceptible to destruction while being built.
Build a few Gattling Cannons to the east of your base and possibly in the middle to deter Colonel Burton and Comanches.
