Mission 16 (Operation Stiletto)

Ok...this looks complicated in here. You must capture about everything on the map and you only can build Engineers and Shadows. Let's start with the … start.

Primary Objective 1: Capture the GDI Base S-W

It's relatively easy. You must use Shadows to eliminate the power plants and shutdown the base defenses. As soon as you exit your own base, a fight will start between GDI and Aliens. Let them fight. There's an Elite Tripod there that eventually will arrive in the GDI base. Make sure you follow with the Commando and some Engineers (two would do here). As soon as the tripod starts to fight the GDI units, infiltrate and insert your Engineers into ConYard and Barracks. From the Barracks build additional Engineers and capture the rest of the structures. Put down some base defenses. Now you have a base. It's much better. Primary Objective 1 complete.

Build an Airfield so you will have Call Transport capability. In the west side of the map, there's a GDI Refinery and a few Power Plants. Get some Engineers transported there so you will have extra mining capabilities.

Primary Objective 2: Capture the GDI Base N-W

After this, head North to the base N-W. And do it fast, because if the base gets destroyed it's mission failed for you. The Commando should do this time too. Use the alien attack to your advantage. After capturing the base, make sure you drop 2-3 Sonic Cannons and 2-3 AA Turrets. Also, drop some of them in your initial base. Primary Objective 2 complete.

Primary Objective 3: Capture the Alien Base East

This one is good defended, including with Tesla Columns. But then, because you have a fully operational GDI base, you could build the Ion Cannon, if you don't want to ground-attack the place. As there's no more GDI to attack aliens, you could use the Ion Cannon in the alien base East, just to clean it up and then you just drop off the Engineers and capture it. Not to worry, the I.C. blast will not destroy the main structure. Alternately, you can ground assault, but it will cost more time and more money. About 4-5 Mammoth tanks will do against the Teslas and the ground units there. My personal choice was the Ion Cannon. Primary Objective 3 complete.

Primary Objective 4: Capture the Alien Base N-E

This could be the most difficult to capture. But then, you by now should have Mammoths, Tripods and a lot of other nice things from GDI and previous alien base. If you do not want to capture the other structures but the primary, you should Ion Cannon (or generate a Rift) just in the middle of it, just like the last time. If until now, those captured structures could come to good use, now it's mission ending and capturing them would be quite useless. So go ahead and shoot any SW you might enjoy using. Primary Objective 4 complete.

Average time on hard difficulty: 27 minutes
