Comments say it's becausejoker-laden was a gamer and had it on his hard drive

Yeah, they're also hosting Killing Hope by William Blum for that reason.

Maybe this is why the Venezuelan and DR Congo coup attempts were so bad - the CIA's boots on the ground are having trouble figuring out what tiberium is and how to refine it

look only one guy brought his into the office and the rest of us had to trade it around several times a day, it was just easier to have the intern scan & upload it so we could all min-max our games and win the interagency cup in 2001

The reason the bay of pigs failed is because the CIA spawned on the right side of the map and so the animation for the plane to drop off vehicles at the vehicle bay takes longer and throws off the build order.

Is that TS or RA i forget

That was in the first C&C with the NOD getting easily owned if they spawned on the right side

I think there was one mission that had the enemy base on right on the air path too so they just downed the planes and you wasted money on that thinking-about-it

Yeah some of the old school RTS games had some bullshit missions

But is the guide any good?

Seems a bit late for that? Or is it early for something coming?
