C&C Generals Zero Hour

Yeah, I know it's been out for awhile but I just got it and it's rather fun 
I first played the US campaign on easy, then decided to play on medium. In that one mission where you have to create an avalanche, I decided to try and do it the sneaky way. I quickly rescued the POWs from the first camp (and used COL Burton to kill various radar vans, motorbikes and tanks in the area, with snipers to kill infantry) and send the Rangers out to flashbang various buildings.
I garrisonned one building with a sniper and a bunch of missile troops, rescued the troops in the church (and holed them in a nearby building), thus distracting the GLA. The next phase was to sneak in COL Burton and two pathfinders behind the three disabled vehicles and wreak havoc on their base and oil derricks. It took a few tries as occasionally a Quad Cannon could come out of nowhere and kill Burton, but eventually I got it to the point where only the command center and two Battle Buses were left.
I then used Burton to insert into the second POW camp. I ran for one of the hardened shelters, where he fought it out with one of the garisonned buildings (and won), then repeated against the guard tower and stinger site with another shelter. Finally, Burton blew up the tunnel network in front.
I then had some Paladins and a Microwave Tank, I called up the Sentry Drones and proceeded to blow up all the other defenses with snipers ensuring that the stinger sites never were a problem.
Casualties? One -- a poor Ranger got jumped by a Technical before it was blown up.
