to which i reply:

today is your lucky day!

i will e mail you my maps.txt file that contains the detail of the below..to
answer the last question first, YES you are missing some great alternatives,
but you need my map to keep track of them, and not take arrows that lead to
"nowhere"...

my unofficial count is 44 different playable maps, 33 missions (some levels
have more than one map per mission objective.  Meaning same mission
objective, but different terrain and units)

GDI: 21 maps, 17 mission objectives
NOD: 23 maps, 16 different mission objectives

which side easier? good question...since i played GDI first, NOD was probably
easier to play, but that was maybe due to my being more experienced...NOD
starts to get tough around level 4, with level 6 being a real bitch,  8,9 and
10 are no trip thru the woods either. level 8 has an opening trick, level 9
can be overpowering, and level 10's left arrow (SCB10ea) has changed how i
look at lakes forever  .  .level 11 can be counted as one of the toughest to
start, especially the left arrow (SCB11ea), but the easiest to finish..by the
time you get to 12 and 13, NOD can be reasonable to win, although SCB12ec
(level 13 right arrow) is still fun for me to play...Of all NOD levels, i
still find all level 6's and level 11, left arrow still a challenge....

In GDI, level 6 is the first challenge to most (based how many times it is
asked)...people do complain about level 7 until they know the
secret...probably the most asked about is level 8, right arrow, what i like
to call "Save the Good Doctor and the Wandering Villagers"....Yet i still
love to play level 9, my all time favorite since i got toasted so many times
until i found the right combination...Second most asked level is GDI 12,
either arrow, you have limited resources yet NOD has virtually unlimited
resources...and i still like level 15, bottom middle arrow (SCG15eb) most of
all, for best opening gambit, strong middle game, and all around best final
game with the reward of the Ion Cannon video of the Temple of NOD with Kane
inside (not to mention the newswoman afterwards, hehehe)
