I NEED SOME TACTICS HELP!

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.

I've often wondered about news messages like this one - I'm curious;
do you masturbate while writing such things?

yes.

Many tries ;->

: The bikes, buggies and light tanks are a diversionary force to attack the left
: entrance to the base, and destroy the turrets there, so your harvester can get
: in/out.

I use these to destroy the ship patroling the rever, saves hassles later.
they will probably be 99% dead once they have done that.

: The rocket troops (& light tank) are used to destroy the medium tank on the
: ridge. 

yup.

: The flame troops will take care of the greanadiers who keep running up.

Two in front two behind.

: Move down, and destroy the turrets guarding the entrance. 

have the light tank in the lead to draw guard tower fire and rocketmen behind to do
the dammage quickly.

: Move all the troops in,

hopefully the light tank can still squish a few grenadiers else u are dead.

: and engineer the Refinery, Power, Fist, Radar, and orca pad. (minimum, engineer
: an ADV power, Radar, and orca). From here even you should be able to complete the
: mission...

I capture power, orca pad, Factory and the baracks, sell the factory and build more
engineers in the baracks capture the rest of the base (troops may also be needed)

entrance to the base, and destroy the turrets there, so your harvester can get
