I am playing a NOD mission, in which I must steal the Orca from GDI and destroy a village so GDI gets blamed. My forces are divided, in one side I have 2 light tanks, two bikes, and 2 buggies. On the other I have only 1 light tank, 4 engineers and about 20 infantrymen. I need some suggestions on how to make it down to the GDI enclave and steal the Orca. I must have played this mission about 100 times, and can't get very far. If you've cleared it, I'd appreciate some suggestions. Please reply to this post via e-mail, I'll get it quicker that way. Thank-you much.

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. Zeno
