Destroy Vega's Base (GDI)
Nigel McCullough
How on earth do you do this mission. I've located all the SAM's I can find
on my side of the land but I get no reinforcements which seem to be hinted
at by the Briefing.
So what do I do??? Someone must have got past this by now?

repair the bridges, make your APCs and blow Vegas place yourself.

Count the SAM sites you've destroyed. After the seventh, the reinforcements
will arrive in the valley.

infantrymen .. all seven SAM sites are gone ... could it be that I
have to actually reveal the terrain where the drop ships are planning
to land? .. I guess I'll give that a try .. I just hate walking into
the path of that long range NOD cannon ... 100% accuracy .. that thing
is a pain in the ass.

the last 2 further down in the map and the transport did arrive. The
game gets more manageable from that point on .. I'm just building up
my units and taking my time but, yeah .. there are more than just 7
things to blow up .. there are just a bit further down (but be careful
not to go too far down or the artillery will get you).

I just did this level last night. I *never* received the
reinforcements which were hinted at, so I must have done something
wrong. Ah, well.
What I did was to blow both the bridges as soon as possible, the one
to the main base and the one to the secondary. Then, except for the
occassional burrowing attack or Harpy (which are pretty easy to
repel), you're pretty much free to build up your forces and take them
down at your lesiure. I took out the secondary base with 5 light
infantry (transported by an APC). The bigger base took a lot more. I
sent in waves of 15 infantry (of various types) at a time, backed up
with Jump Jet infantry and Orcas, and slowly but surely whittled away
the defenses. Here's a hint. With infantry, take out all the SAM
sites between your base and his. Once these are gone, your flying
units can pretty much attack with impunity, except for the occassional
Rocket Infantry. I found the Jump Jet units particularly effective,
since the SAMs won't shoot at them (in fact, I took out the interior
SAMs near the pyramid with these guys). Once you've taken out most of
his forces, rebuild the bridge (you may need to send an engineer
across on an APC to fix the far side). As soon as you do, he'll send
pretty close to every ground unit he has left across, so be prepared
for it. Once you finish off those, he's pretty much done, and it's
just a matter of clean up.

Get about 12-15 of them and make them a group, take out a couple sams on the
east side, then north side, then wale away at the power generators. After
the bases power goes down you are free to wale away on all the units
SCOTT-FREE, it was almost too easy. BTW keep a couple of Titans by the
bridge to blow it every once in a while (so they cant counter attack)

men that you're given. The fact that you could build a base meant you
received them .. and yeah .. jump jets pretty much won the game for me

Great tip, Mike. I was just getting stuck on that mission as well! Thanks.
Now if only there were more people like yourself to give hints to people who
suck at RTS games (like me) and less of the stupid wankers like BO, Wild
Bill etc.

found the Orca bugs. I'm almost embaressed to say how long it took me
to complete it though :)
I just built up a huge walled off base and sent a squad of disc
throwers to take out the SAM sites on the island. Then built a squad
of about 14 orcas which I used to wipe out the remaining SAM sites I'd
missed with the disc throwers, including the ones in the base and used
the orcas to wipe out laser tower etc.... it was almost too easy for
the infantry to all over the base then.
but SEVEN hours....anyone take longer than me? :)
