Master General "Pinpoint" Townes in Command & Conquer: Generals. This guide covers base building, superweapon defense, capturing Oil Derricks, and destroying enemy Particle Cannons.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Step 1: Base Building and Economy
    Construct essential base structures: Supply Center with Chinooks, Barracks, and War Factories. Tech up rapidly to prepare for General Alexander's Particle Cannon attacks. Build enough Supply Drop Zones to sustain your economy and rebuild losses. Defend your base with Laser Defense Turrets against her Comanche helicopters. Capture the two Oil Derricks quickly. Research the 'Hold the Line' strategy to bolster building armor and build more Supply Drop Zones away from production structures.
  2. 2
    Step 2: Secure Island and Neutralize First Particle Cannon
    The first Particle Cannon is on your island, guarded by Sentry Drones, an Artillery Platform, and EMP Patriot Missiles. Build Laser Tanks, Humvees with Missile Defenders, and Avengers. Use the 'Search and Destroy' strategy to increase unit range. Advance cautiously, destroying EMP Patriots with Avengers and other units. Take out the Artillery Platform with A-10 Strikes or Raptors. Destroy or capture the Particle Cannon.
  3. 3
    Step 3: Destroy Second Particle Cannon
    Use your captured or rebuilt Particle Cannon to target the enemy Particle Cannon located in the middle of Alexander's base. Follow up with A-10 Strikes and Massive Ordnance Air Burst for a definitive destruction. Her Construction Dozers cannot reach the high ground to rebuild it.
  4. 4
    Step 4: Destroy Enemy Base
    With superweapons neutralized, prepare for the final assault. Systematically destroy the EMP Patriots guarding the ridges and surrounding islands. Once clear, transport Laser Tanks and Avengers via Chinook Helicopters into the heart of her base and unleash destruction.
Tips
  • Act quickly to establish your economy and defenses.
  • Prioritize capturing Oil Derricks for increased income.
  • Utilize the 'Hold the Line' and 'Search and Destroy' strategies effectively.
  • Defend your base with Laser Defense Turrets against air threats.
  • Avengers are crucial for neutralizing EMP Patriot Missiles before they paralyze your units.
  • Transporting ground units via Chinooks is an effective way to bypass defenses and launch surprise attacks.
