This one's a bitch. I'm still not sure how I was finally able to get
the MCV down to my base, except that I used my Orcas on the vehicles
in the upper-right corner of the map first. There's a tank, a couple
of rocket dudes, and a couple bikers. But they were all damaged by the
mammoth tank you start out with (the one that gets creamed right
away). So greasing them shouldn't be too much of a problem. Then when
the MCV comes, don't take it down to your base right away. See how
many more units you can grease before the NOD's Apache wastes you.
Then put your one remaining medium tank in NOD territory and leave him
there. The Apache will go after the tank, allowing the MCV to scoot
down unharmed, or at least relatively so. He'll actually be quite
damaged by the time he gets to your base, but when you build the MCV's
yard, don't repair it all the way; you probably won't have the money.
Just build 2 or three AGTs as soon as you can.

Once you're established, the best thing I've found to do is build
mammoth tanks. The NOD by now is learning to make marauding bands of
biker dudes and buggys, and your harvesters will DEFINITELY need
protecting. 3 mammoths in a pack will be enough to wipe almost
anything they throw at you, and remember, mammoths self-repair to 50%,
so you won't have to replace them. Just remember to put them at the
entrances to the tiberium fields; they're to slow to intercept the
bikers/buggys if you put them in no-man's land.

Build another 5 or so mammoths and then grease the upper-righthand
portion of NOD's base. It won't be easy; you'd best get an ACC build
to grease the Obelisk towers. Your saving grace is that there's MUCHO
tiberium.

Let me know if you still have trouble.
