A tactic that is useful for defending a side base if you are the UNSC is to make around 7-8 cobras. Have 4 in a square formation on the base side of the light bridge and have the other 4 planted on the edge of the cliff that the side base resides on. Next make 4 flamethrowers. Have 2 of them garrison the sniper towers on the base side of the bridge and have the other two on the sides of the light bridge. Next make wolverines to fill the rest of your population and have them residing on sides of the cliff alongside the other cobras. Finally upgrade your bases forward turrets to rail guns and have the rear turrets missile launchers. The cobras at the mouth of the bridge provide anti vehicle fire but also as blockades that prevent ground units from getting through. This makes any units trying to destroy the cobra easy prey for the side cobra's and the bridge when it deactivates. The 4 flamethrowers provide anti infantry cover for your cobra's and the wolverines take care of any aircraft that go around your cobras. Remember to keep cobras cued at your bases vehicle depot so you can replace any destroyed cobra's quickly | A tactic that is useful for defending a side base if you are the UNSC is to make around 7-8 cobras.

Another useful tactic is to play as Sgt. Forge and take one of the side bases, once you do this it is a good idea to force your opponent's attention elsewhere with a token attack on one of their bases (try to select one far away from your side base. While you do this, upgrade your side base all the way to a fortress and use the extra slots (the ones on either side of the platform) for heavy supply pads. On the side base it is a good idea (unless your opponent is playing as Anders) to build 3 air pads as well as a barracks and a field armory. Make sure you have two reactors so that your max tech level should be 4(it is also a good idea to build and upgrade your base turrets. Anti-air is one of the best for this situation). from your air pad you should full upgrade and purchase 3 vultures. next train the max number of spartans you can and place two of them in the scout towers on either side of the platform (place the other one in the reactor next to your base which will give you a tech level of 5). Next build up as many hornets as possible and be sure to buy their upgrades. do this until you have maxed out your population. from here you'll want to remove all buildings from any other bases you have and replace them with heavy supply pads. While these will inevitably be destroyed, they will work to give even more supplies to work with. From here simply wait out your opponent, they will only be able to attack you from one direction or with air units, which you will be prepared for. during the attack focus on keeping all your units near the base so that if you have to repair it you can get them all. When your opponent attacks via the lightbridge, use your Carpet bomb to deal extra damage, as well if your opponent is playing as a prophet then be prepared to launch a disruption bomb as soon as you see it. | |||
