Mission 08 (Cairo)

Primary Objective 1: Destroy the Nod HQs

Primary Objective 2: Destroy the Nuke Silo

No air this time, since there are a lot of AA Turrets in there. As bad as things may look with that AA firewall in your way, this mission is complete able in 10 minutes if you don't want to complete a specific secondary objective (that is to destroy all Nod structures). You notice at start a marine saying something like 'there are no AA defenses here'. Well, that's completely irrelevant. Here's what you have to do. First, build extra Barracks and the Battlelab. Build a pack of 12+ Zone Troopers. 12 will do; more are of course better. Second, as soon as you complete them, send them to the N-W corner of the enemy firewall and jump-jet across. That is your path to victory. You will get to the Nuke with little to no resistance. Destroy the Power Plants (secondary objective) and the Nuke. Primary Objective 2 complete.

Now you have the big choice. If you want to complete the other secondary objective that requires you to destroy all structures, keep using the zone Troopers and take out as many as possible. You could end up with them promoted to Elite and at that point, you can waste the remaining forces with no effort. Else, send the troopers to the 3 target structures, destroy them and end the mission. Primary Objective 1 complete.

Anyway, if you play long term, it is strongly recommended that you build a surveyor and deploy it East, where you find blue Tiberium.

Extra note #1: you can also use the N-E corner, but it will take longer for you to get to the Nuke and it might just fall before you get to it.

Extra note #2: while making your way to the Nuke, you can have the next 12-pack of troopers ready and go N-E and use them to eradicate parts of the base.

So, as a conclusion, you only need at most 2x12-pack of Zone Troopers to complete this mission including secondary waste-all-structures objective.
