The Last Chinese Mission

The last mission when playing as the Chinese can be very difficult. I found it to be the hardest in the whole game and it took me a while to figure out how to achieve a win. Here's how I did it:

Initially your army comes under attack and although it is relatively easy to come out on top you then find that you need to move the GLA off of nearby ground in order to establish your base and gather supplies.

You should have enough in your reserves to do this although it's important to ensure that one of your Overlords has a Speaker Tower so that you can gather up your other units to be repaired. Once those units are at full strength you can hit the GLA camp to the east and fairly easily remove the opposition to start building your own base.

The problems here now really begin, as it's difficult to find a good source of income to build up your army in order to eliminate the main GLA base further into the map. I found that by creating a defensive group of Overlords, Inferno Cannons and Gattling Tanks along with Gattling Cannons I was able to resist GLA attacks that start to move in from the north of your base. Then it's a long wait as you resist the GLA and build up your cash. I did this by creating lots of Hackers and distributing them over a wide area to then hack for cash. It's a long wait but if you have lots of them the money will begin to roll in and as they gain promotion they generate more cash.

You'll note that the GLA have a Scud Storm available early on but seem to resist using it unless you choose to get closer to their main camps. My advice is to bide your time, build up your cash and build four or five Nuclear Missile Structures. While you wait you'll need to fend off GLA attacks but those aren't too difficult and eventually a Scud Storm will come your way. But leave distance between your structures and spread your Nuclear Structures across your base so that a Scud Storm attack is limited in its damage. Then, when you are ready you'll be able to bit by bit, using your Nukes, take out the GLA base starting off with the Scud Storm up in the top centre position of the map.

Once enough devastation has been caused you can send in your combination of Overlords, Gattling Tanks and Inferno Cannons to do a mopping up operation.

I have not gone into very specific detail here but basically its all about building up your money with Hackers over a lengthy period, resisting the GLA as you wait and finally wreaking havoc with your Nuclear Missiles. It can be done!
