 Let the first chopper die...another one comes after you have killed
ALL the SAM sites....send a pile of grenadiers and tanks around untill
you kill the SAMS and then the good doctor can leave

Unless you employ some kind of cheat program - your screwed - the
"Huey" always gets hit!  

I have stealthalizers several times from within crates, but on this
occasion a crate appeared within my base quite near the beginning of
the game. When I picked it up (with an APC, just in case it was a
stealthalizer) all of my units close by were stealthalized.
This gave me a stealthy Mammoth, APC, Humvee, two minigunners and a
grenade man.

Is this unusual ?

Is this a record number from one crate ?

The first 'Chinook' is meant to get destroyed, do not despair as
another one will arrive after the SAM's have been destroyed.

Huh? This mission is easy...

Don't worry about the 1st huey, another will be sent when all the sam sites are
destroyed.

Just move into the base, and start building tanks. Scout out the map so you can
see approaching enemy troops. There is also a crate of money at the top of the
map near a Nod turret & sam site. Build as many tanks as you can - repair those
you have that are damaged fighting off the NOD attacks. The NOD attacks will die
down (My brother fought off NOD untill the tiberium ran out). Sell the buildings,
starting with the Hospital, Guard Towers, and leave until last the Factory, and
enuf powerstations to keep it running while you make the last tanks. 

Now, have all the infantry & Techs (that came out of the buildings) grouped onto
a key, all the Heavy tanks onto another, and all the Missile tanks onto another -
You have obviously destroyed all "availabe" SAM sites - just the one in the base
remain...

Rush the base (I went the bottom route), keeping the army in a semblance of
formation. Have the infantry available to one side - When you first hear the
oblisk charging to fire, rush the infantry forward into the base - they will keep
the Ion cannons distracted while your heap of tanks destroys everything in sight. 

Make sure the oblisks go down before you run out of men :)

Once the sams in the base are destroyed, a new huey will arrive. Run Mobius into
it - mission over.

Chris.
