This mission can't go wrong as long as you take care of your flyings.
This mission can't go wrong as long as you take care of your flyings.
Defensive.
Do NOT take the drone upgrade from your general powers!!!! Take the carpet bomber.
Use the setup as described by the first writer.


Use 4 commanches, one covering the north entranche, 2 covering the centre entranche and one covering the east flank.
Building the base:
Also build one patriot at each point to kill off the helicopters.
Build a second dozer,a power plant & baracks.
During the mission while making bomb runs (see below) increase the number of commanches (and make them stealth) especialy in the centre as most overlords will show up there. Don't forget to put them on guard otherwise they remain stealth and your base will be overrun.
Build 2 supply platforms, 3 rangers and upgrade building.
Build one extra supply gatherer at each platform. You should have $25 dollar left at this point.
Send out the rangers (build a fouth as soon as you can afford it) to capture the 4 platforms (3 at the bottom, one above the base. Money wise you should be fine the rest of the mission.


Use the 2 airfields to build one or two stealth fighters and upgrade bunkbuster.
Build 2 airfields.
you should be able to start bunkerbusting with around 7 minutes on the nuclear timer.
Start building your strategy centre.
This will provide quite some expierence as well as easy acces to the nuclear silo's.
 
With only 2 or 3 bunker busts the closest northern silo is unprotected. Take it out with your aurora's.
Defensive:
Build 4 commanches, one covering the north entranche, 2 covering the centre entranche and one covering the east flank, put them on patrol!. research flares (or whatever that is called) the defense on your planes.
 
By now your strategy centre should be online.
Use your carpet bomber to destroy his airfield. He will not rebuild it and if done correctly NO choppers will ever reach your base.
Still I raconment to build some patriots just in case.
 
Now start building 8 auroras.
As soon as the first 4 are ready, select them all, fly them to the west end of the map (carefull for those gattlings) and attack the most middle nuclear silo, the one that came online first.
The countdown is probably somewhere around 7 minutes.
All your aroras should survive because of flares and protective laser.
 
4 silos to go and, about 10-11 minutes to do so.....
Wait ill all 8 auroras are done and use the remainder of your money to build extra commanches and upgrade to stealth, again you should not need it but why not...
Make 4 pairs of auroras and fly them to the south east corner of the map.
Focus on the North-West corner, use spy satelite you should see 2 gatlings. Use pair 1,2 and 3 to target the most left gatling and pair 4 to target the most right gatling.
Make sure that they arrive in one wave, if you find this difficult select them all, target the left gatling and then select one pair and give it a different target.
Again a lot of rockets are fired at your planes, but hey youre the airforce general :D.
 
Repeat the wave you just did and destroy both silo's.
 
2 silos to go and about 9 minutes do so....
 
Now your generals powers should be at least level 3 which give you acces to a level 2 A10 strike.
Use this strike to destoy his Northern War factory.
 
Select all your aurora"s fly them to the Northwest corner of the map and make a bombrun to the Eastern base.
Pair one gattling, pair 2 war factory, pair 3&4 Silo.
Again if you make the wave perfect no aurora is shot down.
 
By now your carpet bomb should be ready again. Maybe even paired with the rest of your generals powers.
Use it to wreak havok on the defenses of the last silo.
 
Make sure all your commanches are on guard because he might attack you with a few tanks.
 
Now a final wave of auroras can take out the last silo, and some buildings around it. More is better as they cover eachother with the lasers.
 
Now the nuclear threat is done.
The airfields and war factories destroyed, and as general Tao says himself "it is not my men you should fear" :D.
if too many auroras have been shot down he might launch attacks from his command centre.
Worst case you always have the option to make a suicide run with auroras, but if you have one pair killing the gattling and 3 pair the command centre still most should come home.
 
Now its just mopping up. A few options:
Auroras take out the few remaining gattlings and commanches the solid building.
Building a asault gatherer with 5 rocketeers and 3 snipers can be fun....
building extra airfields and king raptors is fun....
Building 12 particle cannons and using generals powers is lame, but still a option.
 
One final note, if you expierence high casualties among your auroras you can consider replacing the first 2 by stealth bombers with bunker busters, and clear out the towers and the battle bunkers.. Makes the mop up easyer as well....
This probably cost you around 2 minutes on the clock, but hey, as long as the nukes dont fire :D


The next run you can use the aurora's to deal with the gatlings of the second northern silo while the stealth fighter(s) start clearing out the towers with missile defenders.


The thirth run takes out the second nuke and the remainder of missile defenders for the middle Nuke silo.


By now you should have all your genarals powers available.
Use them to your advantage to wreak havok on whatever is defending the middle silo.


Follow with a bomb run of aurora's to clean up, and blow the middle silo up.
This buys you plenty of time to finish the eastern base of at your leasure.


Put your stealthfighters to work at the eastern base by clearing out the towers.
OR make one big wave attacking all the towers with both stealth and supersonic attacks.
The aurora's are all equipped with laser defense and flares so they should all come home.


Take out the remaining 2 gatlings with carpetbombing or aurora's and destroy the last 2 silo's.
Now the nuclear threat is done.


Build 4 extra auroras and upgrade to rocket pods.
Fly north and kill everything.
You should find almost no resistance as all anti air was destroyed previously.
Use genarals power and aurora's to take care of whatever threatens your commanches.
Complete the circle and enjoy victory and replay it as it is a cool mission :D.
