This is most probably mission 12 (rescue Moebius). First off, find the village and look for a money crate there. That'll help you hold out longer. Then, as usual in C&C, the enemy base has a weak point - either a poorly guarded back entrance, or power plants exposed to long-range fire. Use a Hummvee to scout the map, eventually you'll find that weak spot, and exploit it. You can capture the Airfield to get Stealth Tanks on that mission, use them to mop up the rest of Nod forces in the area.

All you need to do there is destroy all SAM sites anyway... a strike against their power plants and construction yard will remove the threat of the Obelisks, and then you can do precision strikes to take out the SAM sites. When the SAMs are gone, you get a new evac helicopter, you can put Moebius inside it, and win.

I remember this hard mission. I used a little trick to solve these hard missions. I know, I know but C&C 1 had this gun-turret-trick. All you have to do is to sell a turret and when it's going to disappear klick it again and hit the "S" key to stop the selling. The turret will not disappear but you'll have 4 Minigunners for free. You can replicate this over and over until you have grand armys of minigunners. You can do this trick also with sam-sites, obelisks and nod-turrets ... I think with every building.

It's kind of cheating though but sometimes it really helps to get over the first frustrating minutes of a mission.

They fixed that in v1.22. And the hi-res Windows '95 remake (C&C Gold / C&C95) is based on that DOS v1.22, so it's not possible there either.

Oh, and it only worked with defense buildings. Other buildings have no use for the Stop command anyway.

The silly part is that they 'fixed' it by disabling the Stop command for defense buildings... kinda annoying sometimes.

ah Ok! I always have asked myself if this trick is available in the C&C SVGA-Version. So obviously it is not. Then it's just: Exercise! Exercise! Exercise!

[Nyerguds]

Maybe I should look into that... make the S button work again, and only block it if the building's current command is "selling". If I find the code that does that -_-

Another word? Cheap.

Another word? Cheating.

Bottom line: neat to know if you can't get good enough to finish a mission. Nothing else.

I have a problem with the decade edition version, I can't get past the certain mission, I always get the ''out of memory'' error. Don't know what to do??
I tried the game on desktop with xp and win7, and on laptop with xp and none worked, the same error at the exact same moment. I built the base and got enough army, and when I tell the army to go out to research the teritory, error pops out. I installed the latest patches, even tryed the unofficial ones and none helped.
Please help if anyone konws!
Thanks!

It depends what you mean by "sandwalling". I remember using sandbags to go build buildings way farther away from my construction yard range. You can set up good traps this way.
