They key to this game is micro management and concentration of force.

The armor team.
Seek out little GDI grenadiers with the buggy and lure them towards the tanks and 
bikes/buggies. Then squish em. Then find the Medium Tank (MT) and rush it. GDI will send 
boring HMVs at you, and deal with them in a similar manner. Let the harvester across the 
bridge, then kill that too. Splat any little guys GDI sends at you. Then you can advance on 
the base.

One tank can hide behind a rock while hitting the northen most gun tower, but it doesnt have 
enough fire power to kill it: the computer will start to repair it when its damage goes red, 
and at this point, rush it with the rest of the units, which will get hit. Once this is done, 
you can destroy the walls at your leisure (occasionally splatting guys). However, do this 
only after the grunt team has taken out the MT's in the base (below). Then invade at your 
leisure: NB you want to keep the com center so you can see where the gun boat is.

Grunt team.
First hide the engineers.
Then stick the flame throwers down the gully that actually opens up to the base (spread 'em 
out). Let GDI come to you and flame any guy that does. Drive the small tank (ST) down the 
west dead end gully while the bazooka guys follow it and tuck into the cove to the west. The 
MT will chase the ST and your bazooka guys can nail it.

Move the bazooka guys back to the top of the gully to the base, and then have the ST shoot 
the construction yard (from the dead end gully). This will prompt GDI to send the last MT at 
you, which your bazooka guys can nail.

Finally, send the Armor team into the base, drawing the remaining GDI troops to the west. 
Your bazooka team can then take out the gun tower protecting the gully entrance. Do this 
carefully: bazookas have a longer range than the tower, but if they stray they will die. Once 
the tower is gone, and the armor team has squished the remaining GDI dudes (maybe the 
barracks too), your engineer can take the orca and the comcenter etc.

Classic guerilla tactics. If the computer just kept its units in the base, you'd die 
everytime.
