Suggestion: This is slower but potentially more effective way to tackle this mission:


1. As the game starts, take out all the enemies, protect your Overloads, Infernos, and Gattling Tanks at all costs. After destorying the GLA troops at the base, take their Supply Stash, the GLA worker works much faster than the Chinese Trucks. Later in the game, you can add hackers to your fund-collecting team.

#Set up your base, spent every penny your have in this manner: Command Center-Power Plant-Supply Center-War Factory-Black Napalm upgrade-random. The GLA will not launch their SCUD storm if your fund does not exceed $5000, so if the badget is kept below this limit, you can keep pumping out troops without having to worry about a SCUD strike, then slowly overwhelm the enemy by large numbers.

#The choke point can be blocked by guarding it with two Overlords, one upgraded with speaker tower, one Gattling cannon, which takes care of all enemy vehicles. Keep two Gattling tanks (or build some Gattlin Cannons) on each side to slaughter all the terrorists who comes a little bit too close to the tanks, then order your two Inferno cannons to forcefire the ground from behind the tanks, a firestorm would periodically burn, which can BBQ most GLA troops, making it easier for you tanks to take them down. It will be a good idea to garrison some troops in the building on the slope, too, as it attracts the SCUD launcher's missiles, and you can repair the building so the SCUD will keep bombarding it until you can take care of them. As the game progresses, purchase the Black Napalm upgrade to increase the firepower of your Infernos. If you want to hold the enemy back further, Nuke Cannons will add additionally support to the Infernos.
 
#While your troops are holding off the enemy, building 3 Air Fields for 12 MiGs. When they are ready, wait till one wave of enemy is about to perish, then order them to fly alongside the left border of the map. When they reach the the left top corner, fly along the top to avoid all anti-air fire. When the SCUD Storm comes into sight, unload all the missile at it, then quickly launch an Artillery Barrage at it, this should get rid of it nice and clean.

#With the SCUD Storm gone, you can now happily build a few Nuclear Missile and slowly take out the GLA buildings with the support from your Artillery Barrage. When all the GLA production lines (i.e. Barracks, Arms Dealers, Command Centers and Supply Stash alike) are destoryed, it is now safe to send your troops in and clean up the rest.
