I feel like describing the attack in its entirety.
I have a friend with whom I used to play Command and conquer generals with.
We had a liking for unlimited money maps. Everytime we played, he was USA, and I was China. EVerytime we played, we would allow ourselves a grace period to build up our base. Everytime we played I had built a field of nukes(usally 25-30) These nukes would be scattered at odd locations throughout the map, but I still managed to find the time to build a very decent army to go with it. He would send in wave after wave of troops, and I would be able to dispatch them, but with considerable losses. The match would continue on for a while. His weapons (a giant lazer beam) took considerably less time to charge than mine. so it wasnt long before I was getting spammed with laser after laser destroying my base nearly completely. When the smoke cleared, and his lasers were recharging, he would find that he had failed to completely obliterate my army, as I had a built a second base far from the first. My losses were considerable, but I still had at least 20 nukes in working order, "which he kept picking away at"
Finally my timers would hit zero. My nukes were ready. He knew it was coming, so he would send the remainder of his army (by this time a vast collection of troops, tanks, and choppers) To my base In an attempt to destroy my my command center completely, (normally a crushing blow). I of course had extra command centers for safe keeping and I would dispatch my own army to the very center of the map.
Once they were there, and his army was still working on my buildings, I would begin my decent upon his previously untouched base.
Half of my army would go in, and begin attacking random buildings, taking out remaining troops and all that, but not doing very good against his defenses. This was when I would deal the first blow. I would launch 1 or 2 nukes into my now almost completely destroyed base, completely wiping out his army.
Curse words could be heard from the other side of the room.
His massive army now rendered inert, I had absolutely nothing to worry about, a few remaining lasers were attacking my power stations here and there, but I wasnt worried, I had plenty of those, and I could overload them if I needed to; this battle wasnt going to last much longer,
I would give him a few seconds to try and figure out a plan, and then it began. The entire point of this story, a Hailstorm of nuclear missiles raining down from the heavens all across the map, destroying everything in sight with a click of the mouse, several were used at once to hit one his strong points I would see his tractors scattering to rebuild, but they wouldn't make it, I had to hunt down and destroy any side bases that he had built.
20+ nukes would be dispatched in under 30 seconds.
When it was over, most of his buildings would be destroyed, a few buildings remain, but in severe need of repair. My remaining army, Would sweep across the land like an collective Juggernaut, hunting down and ending every hope for his victory, one small power station at a time.
This exact same procedure happened every time I played him, and it was worth the hour long session every time. An hour long build up for an attack that would completely obliterate every thing on screen.
And then some asshole taught him how to comanche spam and that put a stop to that.
Hope you enjoyed reading, and if you have an ultimate attack that beats that, Id like to hear it.
