This is true, I watched as several rocket lanchers and such just sat next
to my base as I built the need items.. then I built a oblisk 2 squares
away from the nearest trouble.. then lured them in with infantry, easy
to trash them all. From that point on it was a cake walk.

I think it was just as easy as the last GDI mission, just took lest time
but needed better planing.
