Covert Operations

[Greg]

Can I get help with the Covert Ops in this newsgroup or is this group
just for C&C Gold?

[Iain Adair]

Ask away. What the hell, we are also full of Red Alert and Tiberian Sun
Posts lately. C&C is still C&C...

to which i reply: Covert Ops is an extention of C&C, so this is the newsgroup
for it...BTW, GOLD is one of a few variations of C&C origninal...there is
also DOS and MAC...the GOLD is Win95 compatable

Ok, here goes. I'm having trouble getting through the GDI:Blackout mission. Here
is what I've been doing:

1. Grab the money crate near the church;
2. Kill the 3 or 4 units on the way to the NOD power plant base;
3. Use the Air Strike to take out the Flame Tank that is guarding the base;
4. Destroy all the power plants;
5. Start to set up my base near the power plant base.

The problem is, I can't fortify my base quickly enough to fend off the various
NOD attacks that start coming at me; I even have trouble harvesting because of
the NOD turrets that are within range of my harvester.

Is there a better place for me to set up my base? Am I doing something wrong in
the begining? Let me also mention that by the time I destroy the last power
plant, my commandos are either dead or seriously injured.

I'm also getting the impression that these Covert Op missions are much harder
than any from the original game, which is good, but I've tried this mission
several times without success, which is bad <g>.

Tanks (pun intended) for your help.

[BAH!!]

Did you get the crate underneath the church at the very start of the
mission? I did it the cheap way by sandbagging between the ridges to
the north and eventaully to the east and then all the way to the west.
Thus cuting off more than half of the map from NOD and also the majority
of tiberium fields too. I also sent the odd scout to uncover their base
and their temple of NOD. They have 2 CY and one temple of NOD. Take
out the Temple with a combined Air Strike and Ion Cannon. And then at
the sametime Send an Airstrike and a few Orcas to the CY in the NW and
an Ion Blast and a few ORCAs to the CY in the NE. After that it's clean
up. I originally tried to do it without sandbaggin but I founf it too
difficult esp after the Temple of NOD took out my CY and Advance Comm
out with one shot.

An Advanced Guard Tower at least one full screen away from the rest of
your base will draw the fire of a NOD nuke. They always shoot the AGT
first. Just don't foreget to rebuild it after it's toasted!
