>GLA 5 "Sneak Attack"<

Master the final USA installation in Command & Conquer: Generals' GLA 5 "Sneak Attack" mission. Learn strategies for destroying the USA Support and Main Bases with GLA forces.

Alright, let's dive into GLA Mission 5, "Sneak Attack." This one takes place in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany, and man, it's a tough one – rated 'Insane!' for a reason, but super fun with a perfect 'Fun Factor' of 10. Your main goals here are to destroy the USA Support Base and then take down their Main Base. You'll have access to Chinese units early on, which is a nice bonus.

This mission is the final big hurdle against the USA's European presence. You'll start by capturing a vacant Chinese Base, and then you'll get help from a local GLA village. The walkthrough here assumes you won't be relying on the captured Chinese tech, focusing instead on what the GLA can do.

In your General's Window, make sure you're ready to deploy units like the Marauder, SCUD Launcher, and Rebel Ambush. Also, keep an eye out for Cash Bounty and the Sneak Attack ability.

Here’s the general plan: You'll want to sell off any initial Chinese defenses you don't need and start building up your GLA base. Make sure to secure the entry points to your base and capture any Tech Structures you find. The USA Support Base is to the east, and you need to hit it hard and fast. The starting army should be enough to either destroy or capture it, and while you're at it, rescue any POWs you find.

Send those rescued POWs over to the orange GLA village – they'll join the fight! Don't forget to capture the Airfield and any other structures you can get your hands on. Explore the area thoroughly; there are a lot of Tech Structures scattered around. The main USA Base is up north. Keep an eye out for an island to the northwest – it's got some abandoned Chinese units you can capture, plus more Tech Structures.

Once you're fully prepped, it's time to assault the USA Base. Be warned: they'll deploy up to two Particle Cannons, so prioritize taking those out. They're usually built in predictable spots, so secure those locations. Use your Super Weapons whenever they're ready and keep the pressure on the USA forces. You'll also find Pathfinders in the village near the allied GLA Base; use your Quad Cannons to deal with them. Remember, that orange GLA village is your ally and can provide significant support.

The USA will throw a lot of units at you, so be ready for anything! Secure any choke points with your defenses and absolutely do not let their units slip through. Completing this mission means the GLA's invasion of Europe is well underway, with the USA forces retreating.
