No, neither of us can win playing GLA vs USA.  They key is the attack
configuration that the USA uses that I have described below.  The tanks take
care of any missles (especially the mobile skud) and they are pretty good at
holding their own against other tanks and infintry, plus they auto-repair.
Then those cruise missle launchers lock onto anything nearby.  They never
miss and I have no anti-missle defence against them.

If anyone knows how to defeat it, please let me know.  I'm at a loss.
