In Zero Hour 1.4 there is no carpet bombing making this mission exceedingly difficult on Hard, quite possibly the hardest mission of the entire C&C series. The GLA have everything and you have been stripped of all weapons of mass destruction and artillery. | In Zero Hour 1.4 there is no carpet bombing making this mission exceedingly difficult on Hard, quite possibly the hardest mission of the entire C&C series.

* When a rocket buggy is bugging you, set a couple of red guard to attack it, the missiles don't home on infantry and the buggy will retreat from the red guard.

Also garrisoning infantry in buildings, or even putting them behind a building will distract the buggy and buy time for your attack force to destroy a statue. | * When a rocket buggy is bugging you, set a couple of red guard to attack it, the missiles don't home on infantry and the buggy will retreat from the red guard.
