I don't think they can intercepted, but they tend not to be so good against units I've found, v. good against facilites but not units. Also, your DAR and MAR are going to hit about 1%, so your troops will surrender to the enemy as soon as they come into contact...

But wait one minute I am advising you how to use nukes on my own country!!

Don't even think of pushing that big very inviting red button...

Well then I return to my original suggestion. Make an absolute arseload of ship launched tomahawks and take out his army bases and military goods plants. Otherwise a missile assault against all those units will just fill his bases up with healing units which would be ready to fight....just about the time your troops hit the beach. Also build several k worth of anti ship and take out that floating wall of AA first...or whichever method for ship killing you like best. It is likely the ships that are killing most of your AGMs.

(to speed this whole thing up...you may want to build a couple dozen full sized airbases)

well a massive ship bombardment would help u alot. But u have to have ships with very long range guns for this to work. But u'll end up with alot of the enemy units going into repair but also they be in repair until u get close to the bases. So if ur quick enough u could get all ur units into their territory and can make a descent defense before they try to attack u. As for a missile barrage. U have to have 100's of missile platforms for u to succeed in wiping out the units and all the platforms have to be firing at once and differnet targets. But its possible to win u just have to think of a perfect strategy. Like i did. Right now in world war 3 I'm playing as Russia. Turkey had an entire corps on my border. Airdropped units behind their line completely encircling the corps and destroyed all their units in 3 days. Think in was over a 100 units and all i used was 40 or so.

Lightbringer: I tried using Facility Missiles last night, and no go. The AI seems to have built a ton of legged and mechanized anti-air units.

I think I'm going to try Berg's suggesting of long range shore bombardment. Know of any units that Scotland can get which are good for that?

The 1% thing for nukes does not sound very good, but that might be my only choice. It's long past the point where I can unite the country by diplomacy, after all.

well other than the BB's I'm not sure. Haven't played the scenario enough to remember what the crusiers and DD's ranges are. And as for nukes. I wouldn't. One reason u won't kill all of the units. And if u plan to invade. ur end up with ur units surrendering to ur enemy and have them fight for ur enemy.

1,200 missiles is not alot ,when considering what your trying to destroy.

Ive used that many missiles to take out one facility.

If you want to go missiles,build up your inventory alot higher.
Than work your way in with them.

Most effective anti-missile unit is ships.SO they should be your first target.
Make sure you use the right type of missile for the unit your going after.
In other words use anti-ship missiles for the ships.

Than a good target is any air facility they have.Aircraft are a very close second to ships in their ability to shotdown your missiles.
Destroy where they can land and you destroy them.Wait for them to run out of fuel and crash afterwards of course.
Facility missiles of course here.

Now after youve done the above, you can go after the ground units.
AoE missiles here.Build up an invemtory to at least 40k.
And again , work your way into the mass of enemy units.

Manually pick the targets and fire your missiles.Pay close attention to each strike so that you'll get the feel for when to end the order.This will save alot of misssiles that would otherwise be wasted.

Lastly fire at all the targets your going after in that strike at the same time.So if your going after their ships,make sure you fire at each one you can all at once.

Yes, missile use is ALOT of work to get right.BUT when done right you can kill thousands of enemy units with a single massive barrage in under a day of game time.

leave it to tkobo to explain correct missile use.

Thanks Tkobo. Looks like I'm going to be spending a few more years on this scenario, just building Air Bases! Glad to hear that it is not impossible, though.

Go check page 10 of this thread to see a lot of air bases...

1200 Missile Build Cap

I've got a 120 Missile Build Cap currently.

what amazes me is that you had enough military people to run all those bases!

tkobo · Post by **tkobo** » Jul 19 2006

For those who like me, had a real hard time gettign to actually see the unit itself

Looks like a bloody terminator....

I finally saw one of those. Too bad it lasted about a second. It spawned right in the middle of about 5 stacks of LI with arty support. I seen it on a save Sam sent me. And as for advice on what U should do Sam u know. Sam sent me a save on the British Isles he was playing. In 2 actual days I beat both North Ireland and Ireland. In game days it was about a year. Missiles wouldn't have helped him any. I know I tried I was right about massive naval bombardment and I followed by a sea invasion that put D-Day to shame. Think I landed over 100 LI in the first wave.

Umm, how did you mange to build up a massive fleet of decent shore attack ships and use them to kill all those units in a single year ?
