>GLA 7 "Dark Destruction"<

Guide to Command & Conquer: Generals GLA Mission 7, "Dark Destruction." Learn how to capture key objectives in Baikonur, destroy enemy bases, and utilize the SCUD Storm.

Alright, so you've united the GLA and now you're heading to Baikonur in Southern Kazakhstan for mission 7, "Dark Destruction." This one's a doozy, rated Insane! Fun Factor 7, though! Your main goals here are to capture the Ground Control Building, snag the Missile Gantry, and then wipe out both the USA and Chinese bases. Oh, and get ready, because this is where you'll meet the SCUD Storm!

Basically, the USA and China have set up shop with some serious superweapons, and you need to take them out. The Missile Gantry looks tough from the cutscene, but it's actually pretty accessible, though both enemy bases will give you a run for your money.

When you start, you've only got a Supply Stash and a Command Centre. First things first: expand your base like crazy and get more Workers on those supplies. You'll want some Rebels ready to capture any Tech Structures you find nearby. Also, build a couple of Tunnel Networks on either side of the train tracks – trust me, you don't want to get hit by a train.

Keep an eye out for more Tech Buildings and another supply area across the tracks. Grab those supplies and get some defenses up. The USA will be coming from the right, and the Chinese from the left, so secure those approaches.

Here's the kicker: both sides have their superweapons right off the bat. The USA's Nuclear Missile is more of a nuisance, but the Chinese Particle Cannon? That thing can obliterate one of your structures instantly! So, if you see that Nuke Missile launching, spread your units out to minimize damage.

The USA's other big threat is their Air Field. Your best bet is to use Artillery to break through their defenses before you go in for the assault. That's where you'll find the Ground Control Building. For the Chinese Base, once you've got the USA Airfield, you can use their Aurora Bombers to help soften them up.

Once the USA base is toast, head over and capture the Ground Control Building. Then, make your way to the Missile Gantry and capture that. Finally, it's time to completely destroy the Chinese Base. Don't forget to make good use of those SCUD Storms you'll have by now!
