Okay WTF i'm ready to toss my keyboard / mouse out the window cause of this one. any C&C3 vets here? I'm stuck on the last mission for the Nod campaign. If i build up my infantry i get bum rushed by GDI Mamoths and Preditors. If i build up my tank brigade, i get Zone Troopers and Missile Squads. If i hold up and build my defenses i get Ion Cannoned to death or they blow up the Scrin buildings i need to protect.

anybody know how to win this?

You need to build a balanced force...while still building up your defense.
One of the hardest parts of the game.

Damn... It has literally been years since I played any C&C. (Generals 1.0, and briefly at that!). My most recent laptop is used mostly for work and it's a "write off", so solitaire is all this puppy can handle Sorry, Mikey. Many, many moons ago there was a gaming computer... then I bought a few console systems.

But what Mike said sounds pretty good as far as the classic C&C strategy

yup did just the trick. man what a ride that was. Took a ton of restarts but finally was able to hold off the initial GDI rush and everything was down hill from there. Even got a little help from the Scrin when they opened a Rift right over the base i was nuking! That pretty much ended the round right there lol.

Thanks for the help guys
