So that others might also read this, I'm posting it here too.  The
first thing is to protect the group that has a couple of tanks and the
bikes, etc.  from the boat to the north.  Move them quickly to an
alcove to the SW of your starting position, and kill anything that
comes in range.  While you are doing this (this is the trick in this
mission, moving two groups simultaneously), you must move the other
group south.  As you know, you will encounter a tank and some
infantry.  Kill them.  Position your troops so that they are just out
of range of the guard tower.  Don't go too far south, because there
are tanks and stuff down there which you don't want to mess with.  Now
that the first group is safe and in position, move the second group
down, and kill all that gets in your way.  You should have a superior
force.  Take out the northern-most guard tower with your tanks, and
then move on to the southern group.  Use the rest of your pieces as
backup to attack units coming from the base, but be careful, those
towers will tear up a bike or buggy.  Now that the towers are killed,
move directly into the base with the western group.  As soon as you
enter the base, the tanks to the north will move to attack.  I used
all my forces on the west to attack the barracks, and the troops by
it.  Run them over with the tanks, and keep the tanks that will be
coming busy with the bikes and buggies.  Soon you enter the base, set
your tank with the northern attack force to attack the guard tower,
and quickly bring in the bazooka troops to back it up.  The tower will
continue to fruitlessly shoot at the tank.  Bring in the engineers
while this is going on. (The tower won't shoot at them), and take the
construction yard, the weapons factory, the barracks, and the orca (or
the tiberium refinery instead of the orca if you please).  Build a
couple of engineers and take the rest of the buildings.  Once all that
is done, use the orca to destroy the village, and don't forget that
right before you kill the last building to sell off all the buildings
so that you can get lots of starting cash in the next mission.  Good
luck.
