Nuke strike

A mid-late game tactic

Basicly envolves a large number of nuclear missile silos are built, loaded with nukes, and then fired in rapid succession. Very successful if one of the nukes get's through the missile defense and hits a high concentration of expensive buildings that in turn create a chain reaction, eg. an advanced fusion reactor, or, (should your lottery ticket win whilst you are saving the alienware's CEO's life and he promises to get you the best damn machine they build, and your isp company draws a new "never pay for high speed internet again" competition with your name on the draw) two missiles get through, one hitting the moho geathermal plant which explodes forcing the nearby commander into the airspace that the seccond missile is planning on taking, the resulting explosion slams the commander to the ground that is currently occupied by the buzzsaw/vulcan, which in turn explodes destroying the ring of doomsday machines surrounding the unexploded part of the base.

Nuke strike is effective against:

• New player aka noob
• Peep with no missle defense :P
  • Or hit your enemy's missle defense just before u nuke i.e planned / suicide air raid

Nuke Strike is ineffective against:

• Someone with more well fortified missile defense towers then you have
• Someone with an expansion strategy.

Nuke strikes are difficult to pull off because of the high resource drain involved in building them and clearing enemy missile defense.

• However if u get some nice hits the game is either over then and there, or the opponent is crippled enough for the game to end shortly afterwards.

Beware of radar jammed areas hiding the enemy's real base,

• Not nice to find out u have sent your entire mobile force to clear out the recently nuked decoy base and your back door is open to his 5 krogoths, life get's akward quickly.
