They were having a sale on missle launchers

[@zioming]

57:50 That's actually a pretty nice tactic against rpg + patriot army composition. Take an EMP tank and drive it into the enemy army to draw all the fire and make it spread out causing maximum friendly fire.

[@TheBradBerry549]

30:35 the way you died inside by the carpet bomb was so painful

[@cncHD]

Lol, yeah ... that was not a great moment xD

[@sandercohen9712]

Generals is a game I have played every year since 2003. (except for this year so far). USAF is my favorite faction, but how you executed the first mission simply baffled me. I had never considered spamming comanches and using the damaged anthrax bunkers to get rid of the stinger troops in those sites. Very impressive.

[@niklasklasen8048]

That airstrike at 30:10 CnC was like "are you fucking kidding me, game?"

[@internal_error3962]

I really miss messing with my friends with good old stealth GLA. But airforce is awesome as well... Good play and I hope that you will show us another awesome plays 😃

[@HolySoliDeoGloria]

You never captured the derrick near your starting point in the boss challenge match! At least you got countermeasures! Great video, as always. I could watch you play these challenges over and over.

[@MrYoda589]

surprised you didnt use humvee's upgraded and loaded with infantry then load those into combat chinooks; allows you to put more dakka into each individual one

[@Xtoxinlolinecronomicon]

Very nice. Good to see you are still alive and kicking this game's ass.

[@cncHD]

Thanks! Thanks for still watching it :P

[@MarkofWisdom]

for the match vs SW General-are you playing as air or SW general?! "I'll see your puny 3 particle beams and raise you 20 of them!" vs tank -"How many f****** infantry does he have!? And how many tomahawks? LAUNCH THE NUKE!" That initial confrontation between your infantry hordes and tomahawks vs the tank general's army was pretty epic and intense. Later though after the tomahawks ran out of tanks to blow up and started concentrating fire on individual infantry...that was hilarious overkill. Like 20-30 missiles for a single red guard. Seeing the ECMs spreading all the tomahawk missiles out so the entire enemy army got hit was also amusing. It was really cool seeing you do a direct assault for this speedrun instead of the safer but slower bunker up and barraging him with general powers and SW to break up his army instead of fighting it head on. It must have been weird to use unloaded Humvees though instead of loaded Humvees and ambulances vs stealth-wow that was a close call, those rocket buggies that showed up when you weren't paying attention really wrecked your base vs laser-the standard combat chinook tactic to wreck everything, though slightly different in that you didn't first destroy the outer defenses this time, you just had a bunch of spare/decoy chinooks take the brunt of the fire so the loaded chinooks could sneak through and wreck shop. vs leang-1:58:10 is when ride of the valkyries should start playing since you launch your air assault with all those combat chinooks. The video finishes less than 3 minutes later, which is all that needs to be said of how quickly you absolutely annihilated Leang's forces. I love that "Suicide is not a tactic" line immediately before she surrendered. I guess she realizes she was screwed

[@cncHD]

Hi there, I think I was playing as superweapon General in disguise ;) Against the Tank general spaming tons of tomahawks was a lot of fun, but sadly it turn put not as the fastest strategy as I was hoping for. But it was still fun :)

[@Unduplicatable]

It's hilarious watching this and realizing "I've done the exact same thing excpet I got (one extra building/killed all those units/etc)" or "yeah, I never managed to get that all in one go".

[@irish147]

@@cncHD i rather use infantry than tanks

[@reymiguelperez6643]

@@irish147 LOL! China Infantry, GLA Stealth and GLA Demolitions are the most fun generals to play with in Challenge Mode in my opinion. But I can't deny that it is fun to play with General Kwai too because of the Emperor Overlord Tank one of my most favorite unit in the game. But still the China Nuke General (the most balanced General), GLA Demollition General (Can one shot the enemy super weapon with his only 1 HE Scud Storm, his only downside is no stealth units except from Jarmen Kell) , USA Air Force General (You can destroy enemy Super Weapons even without building your own Super Weapons because of Generals Power i.e. Carpet Bombing, Fuel Air Bomb or MOAB, A-10 Strike Level 3, or the more potent Spectre Gunship Level 3 together with massive air power) alongside with USA Laser and USA Super Weapons Generals are my most favorites because of them being easier to eliminate the threats early in the game.

"Best"? Nice laugh.

[@MrSquigglies]

You know I returned to this game to try and repeat my childhood experience of doing all of the general's challenges on hard and I was absolutely stumped at the Air Force versus super weapons general. Why didn't I think of just immediately selling my primary building and aggressively building my base towards the artillery platform? I swear that level is so broken

Prepare to tell your three-eyed grandchildren of your defeat this day!

[@justinchen1015]

Airforce speedrun finally!!!

[@sosayweall7290]

1:12:00 Not the most efficient tactic. The air assault was bold and had a good effect, good effort there and can see what you wanted to achieve. But, the base was left with inadequate organic support which compromised the assault. I leave my base with a much a more capable ground and air based defence than you had, including a medical Humvee for CBRN decon, then embarked on a combined ground and air assault in phases. I'd have also deployed snipers in the air assault and base defence. 3 snipers for base, including one in the rear for the stealth raids and two blocking the ground infantry routes in. I'd recommend capturing the static artillery at the front of the base location, it's clunky but attracts enemy attention which buys time to gather the ground defence if you need more concentrated forces.

[@Tony-112]

[@CycloneDuke]

Wow that baiting the superweapon General's airstrike and lasers! Does she always only use superweapon vs your right-most building or something?

[@cncHD]

She usually only targets the power plant or barracks or supply center. She will target the one which is most closely to her. Also scaffolds hence why I gave her scaffolds to shoot on

[@notyourAii]

They will strike where you put your troops together with structures

[@moresothanyou]

He explained it in another comment.

[@moresothanyou]

Certain buildings (i forget what) takes priority, then she choose the one closest to her, then she prefers scaffolding. Thats why the superweapon general particle cannon only hit the scaffolding in the right side of the map.

[@moresothanyou]

Just checked, power plant, barracks and supply center took priority.

[@fwrizuxc]

dude you just made my brother a joke. he's very good at using gla lol

Why is your background in the main menu is different from mine? Your background is just a picture of the main menu background in the original C&Q Generals.

[@TheGrimravager]

These speed run challenges offered me another way to enjoy the game, thanks man! I've started trying the generals challenge on hard without loading any save files other than mission start, as an added difficulty. I've recently completed the tank general for the first time this way. Hopefully eventually being able to defeat every general on the first try (as is the case for most generals already :D) I was wondering if you have a top 3 of the hardest generals to choose for the generals challenge? (forgetting the fact that infantry and demo generals have 8 challenges)

This one took me the longest practice time, true. Superweapon General and Toxin are the hardest. One minor mistake and the run is over. In this video you were able to see, if you look close enough, that I was about to end the run at least 3 or 4 times. Vs the toxin General I lost too many raptors, it made me nervous and I pulled in another swarm of comanchees which saved me the run. Vs the tank general I wasted too much time. I was trying something new with the tomahawks, I thought it would work out, but it slowed me down a lot. Vs Leang I started to panic because she just wouldnt go out of power and I lost one chopper after another.
