Hmm Build lots of refineries in good areas V. early in the game VERY 
IMPORTANT!!!(Money wins the game!!!), Second MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VEHICLE 
FACTORY/AIRSTRIP(preferably 2 or more!)+ ADV.COMM/Temple of NOD.
Now if all is well, Im sure it won't last long if you are playing a 
moderately skilled opponent, get a new Construction yard building 
immediatley, keep it in vehicle form and keep it on a repair bay, theses 
are literally TWICE as strong in vehicle form, now at least you won't be 
doomed if he hits your C.Y.
If you are rolling in money consider building yet more C.Ys since each 
one decreases your building time (2=half,3=third,4=quarter etc...)

OK sure you may whine Every C.Y costs 5000 well thats just over 7 
harvester loads, if your refineries are next to the tiberium fields it 
should only take about 2 minutes w/ 4 of them!.

And every new C.Y. can be used to establish a base next to new Tiberium 
fields, w/ 2 C.Y.s you really will become twice as powerful.

Well me and my friends have used the heli-blitz tactic for quite some 
time now and what I have described here really is the most effective 
tactics to deal with it, in fact the Heli-blitz isn't usually that high 
of a tactic to me now since I no longer consider one (of 2 or more) C.Y.s 
a key building and providing I have heavy air cover in those areas  he 
will waste more money in aircraft losses in his mad rush to get my C.Y.

Craig's rules of war.

87 - SAM's : although powerful are no match for the INSTANT heli-death of 
5 bazooka troops(equiv. cost 2 SAM's), stick 5 at each corner of your 
C.Y. he will have to send in at least 15 heli's if he wants any to 
survive.
