* Overlords; one of each variant | *Overlords; one of each variant: use to eliminate Stinger sites (and other threats), repair vehicles and transport and heal troops. Note: Overlords have difficulty negotiating the urban terrain here. | ||
* ''Optional'' | *''Optional'': an additional Propaganda Overlord bringing up the rear (a "spare", just in case); a hacker (transported in Bunker Overlord) to disable buildings while being captured. | ||

* Cluster mines | *Cluster mines: these reveal territory and expose Stinger sites while providing some protection. They also destroy Demolition traps. | ||
* Artillery barrage | *Artillery barrage: eliminate Stinger sites. | ||
* Carpet bombing | *Carpet bombing: mass destruction. Note: likely to fail if there are ''any'' Stingers in the area. | ||
* MiGs | *MiGs: use to guard areas cleared of anti-air threats. Two groups of two MiGs each works well using a leap-frog technique, advancing along the diagonal as areas become clear. | ||
Once each ground Task force reaches the end of their respective map direction, use them in a coordinated advance to the northwest: north force advancing west, and west force advancing north. | Once each ground Task force reaches the end of their respective map direction, use them in a coordinated advance to the northwest: north force advancing west, and west force advancing north. It is not necessary to eliminate ''everything'', but it is more satisfying. | ||
