GDI - Mission 5 'Defend Crash Site'
Mission Objectives
- Objective 1: Defend the alien crash site
Mission
The timer does not measure how long you have to defend the crash site
(although it is close); it measures how long the ion storm will last.
When the timer runs out, you will receive reinforcements in the form of
titans and wolverines.
Never move your troops out of your defended base. Near the start, NOD
rocket infantry will target a power plant and your radar installation.
There is nothing you can do about this. Just sell the buildings and use
the extra money to train more troops. Even with one power plant gone,
you will still have enough energy to run your base.
Most of the attacks will come from the north, so put the majority of your
troops there. Do not let any of your vulcan cannon get destroyed. If
necessary, move your troops outside slightly to distract and attack NOD
forces.
About a third of the way through the timer, NOD will sneak some units
into your base using subterranean APC's. One APC will go the western
side of the UFO and one will go to the eastern side. Have some troops
waiting around in those spots to welcome NOD to your base.
Train a couple of medics, and use waypoints so one can heal the infantry
at the northern entrance and the other can heal the infantry at the
southern entrance. With most of the remaining money -- leave some for
repairing your vulcan cannon -- train some more infantry. With the
number of troops you now have at your disposal, defending your base
should not be a problem. |
