   I have the same problem.  I think it is mission 4.  Running out of

I had the same problem,but managed it eventually by loading everyone
into APC's and running into the base without stopping to fight. As
soon as you get to the crate, everyone bales out and you've cracked
it. You need to use CTRL or ALT (its in the readme file) to make your
APC's head for the base without stopping.

Best of luck

I'm pretty new to C&C, but I'm in the same ditch - you just don't seem to get 
enough people/weapons for this level - there must be some old pros out there 
who can help us out!

You've got to lure him out of his base by attacking his base from the ridge 
above.   Nearly all of his units will come out then.

Single out 1 guy and hide him.  If the rest get wasted, you'll get a
fresh APC full of reinforcements, which should be enough to get the
crate.   I found the strategically placing him where he could creae a
disturbance for the tank, that I could just waltz in.

   There is one thing you need to know.  You are not required to fight
your way back out after you get the crate.  A transport helo picks you
up and that is the end of the mission.  What I am saying is that you
don't need to stop and fight everything that gets in your path.
   I did a blitzkreig straight to the crate group everyone to one
group and not stopping to fight anything.  Was a little beat up but
still had over 80 percent leadership score.  All you need to do is get
one unit to the crate and you are set.

it is then your forces are in two small groups each consisting of 
minigunners, antitank guys, and tanks and light fighting vehicles.
Use the upper group with tank and rockets out front to destroy
oncoming vehicles.  Knock a hole in the back wall of his base and send
your fastest vehicle straight down to the crate.  Meanwhile send the
2nd group down to the bottom of the screen and straight across to
where the helicopter will appear, once you secure the crate.  
It took me numerous attempts to beat that level.

have fun,

I did this too my first couple of tries; seems like the right way
to do it, but, (depending on which version, there's TWO different ones
that I've played) at least in the first the enemy lands a transport chopper
and sends a bunch of troops behind you and even though they're weakened
by going through Tiberium, it's enough to wear you down to wear you wont
last the game.  In the second, the troops all rally up behind you before
you can do much serious damage.

To me the key was 1) learning to use the APC to crush enemy troops in the
way, 2) leave troops in the APC as much as possible - try to bypass
enemy minigunners or run them over and run over bazookas too, and 3) try
to bolt past the enemy armor at the end, unload and send EVERYONE on foot
towards the crate.  This was an inelegant, messy solution.

Good Luck

I noticed that after I had ccedited the game, I never got a "mission 
accomplished" for this level....does that happen when you edit the game?

	I don¹t know if this is the most elegant way to get past it, but the 
way I beat the level was to concentrate on just getting the crate. The 
first billion times I tried to destroy the nod base (or a large part of 
it) in the process of getting the crate. Finally, totally by accident I 
found that all you have to do is get one unit to the crate and then one 
unit, not necessarily the same one, to the flare marking your pickup 
point. My advice is run in and out as quick as you can and not worry if 
you leave a bunch of pissed off nod guys chasing you because this isn¹t 
real life and as soon as you hit the marker you are home free.
