:> Key Bases (USA):

   - To be honest, there are 3 bases you need on this one to succeed. The first
   is the Chinese airport. While it's not necessary to grab it, doing so will
   make it SO EASY to win on this map. Try sneaking a Blackhawk along the far
   perimeter to cap the flag. This airport contains numerous armor vehicles,
   jets, helicopters, more than you can ask for. However, the two realistic
   points to capture are the base on the left yellow road that has a mounted
   AA, a dock, two garage slots, a TOW, and a building perimeter enclosure.
   This is great for making advancements into Chinese territory. The second
   point is the second Chinese main base, which has their transport helicopter
   and several houses. Taking this limits their air superiority.

:> Key Bases (China):

   - Simply hold the high points on the map. Hold the top mountain spot to
   prevent reinforcements from flooding through. Really, you don't even need to
   push the Americans off of the land, just hold the highest points and your
   airfield on this one.

- Chinese win this about 70% of the time, simply because they have such a
starting advantage. You can easily sneak a transport helo in on the lone
American ground base, and take it immediately at the beginning. Chinese have
too many armor bases, which let's them push through and take any American
advancements. The only time I see the Chinese lose is when the Americans take
and hold their airbase. No air support really turns the Chinese team into a
split rival. Try sneaking up along the left ridge that inlets to cover with a
Blackhawk.

:> Sniper Spots

   - On both sides of Dragon Valley are tall mountains that can be sniped down
   from upon. Try doing this. Make use of the height points to look down and
   snipe on the opposition. You can snipe men on the carrier from the high
   point as well. There are several cylinders and steam stacks you can climb at
   the Chinese airbase if you manage to infiltrate that perimeter. There are
   also partial rural forests in the steppes which can be used for ghille
   cover.
