Infantry VS Leang (Hard) - C&C Zero Hour Speedrun

Can you defeat Leang in 15 minutes?
This is China vs Leang at its finest. Your bunkerlixes are the cheapest among the 3 China generals, and can load up more and stronger men, making them hit harder.
Since the bulk of your expenses come from the bunkerlixes, this game is basically about getting those nukes ready first. There's a slight argument to be made in favor of Nuke General ($500 less per nuke, cheaper power per unit), but General Fai still makes up for it with way better bunkerlixes.
One of the bigger issues with this strategy is when to build that prop center. The bulk of Leang's attacks start when you build the prop center. Once it goes up, you have about a minute or two before the first paladins hit the frontline. My strategy involves dropping a bunch of tank hunters to guard the town on the left, and floating a bunch of tank hunters (in bunkerlixes) in the pass on the right. Most of the gatling tanks take that path so fortunately my helixes don't get harassed for the most part. The counterpoint to this is that there's no point building the prop center if you don't have the money to get the nukes out anyway, so why scramble to make a defense if it means pushing back your nuke production (which is the whole point of an early prop center)?
More experimentation is in order.

never played like this, brilliant 😄👍🏻 personally I prefer to fight painfully slow upwards with a ridiculous amount of tanks and other units, always relying on artillery, but that's me.

[@SketchTVGaming]

There is no wrong way to play this game. I just try to do it as quickly as possible here.

[@omanthadissanayake5530]

Your skills are awesome man!!

[@NoONE-gz4bc]

Very well calculated moves , gg bro that's some art

[@adriangeicu]

[@tozokv]

[@francojustthat156]

SUBSCRIBED...im a fan now...

[@matinkhosravi3578]

okey that was great 👍🏻

[@maximsmirnov4459]

nice helicopter rush at final )

[@SketchTVGaming]

It's the fastest strategy I know for this mission, so that's what it will be! You'll find it's pretty much the same for Nuke / Tank vs Leang.

[@geoffphillips5293]

you make this look easy, but if I try anything like this I'm clobbed by all the anti-air, the avenger in the section to the north, or the endless other gattling cannons that are around.

[@SketchTVGaming]

The trick is making a plan to deal with them. And then just doing it :)

[@haithamalzayaneh4066]

It's seems that enemy nuclear partical Cannon and silo not hit you ,why?

[@SketchTVGaming]

I capture the weapon bunker at 11:21 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKCydKd_dsx1rLc

[@kaparawhite]

theres a zoom out patch u can download bro

[@SketchTVGaming]

I have GenTool which does some zooming out. I find the level of zoom it provides to be just right for me. Small enough to select units accurately, big enough to not have to scroll as much.

[@Samsok013]

To me it seems i can never build up because of the MIGs but i guess i can try this even though its probably not easy

[@SketchTVGaming]

Her Migs follow 2 phases: 1. In the beginning they will try to hit the nearest building to the base. For me this is usually an oil derrick or a barracks that I build close to the front. Take advantage of that by putting anti-air next to it. 2. When you set foot in her base, her migs will start to target your troops, usually your soft, long-range units. Try to get anti-air between them, naturally (although that's hard). Easier to just figure out a way to blow up the airfields, or keep churning out units faster than she can kill them.

[@crazychris1123]

Ugh i havent played this game in SO LOOONG. I have to rebuy it because my pc doesnt have a disc drive :/

[@ThisisMoo]

where is Chinese air force enemy ?? i dnt think this is hard mode

[@SketchTVGaming]

The migs are probably hitting the oil derricks or arty platforms I capture far ahead of me. Why don't you think this is hard mode?

[@germanic4316]

I was thinking the same but more because I didn't see the scripted Tunnel attack at the mainbase - however I didn't watch it till the end and I might have missed it🤔

[@karimm.abdellah1911]

What was that !!! You made it very easy 🫨
