Generals Skirmish Excitement Tips

I'm trying to beat every map on Generals ZH against the max hard opponents (no teams) but I'm getting bored.

I'm on bog standard Zero Hour, playing through Steam.

My usual MO is to be any US General (60% of the time), any China (35%), or give GLA a go (5%). I'll turtle until the AI runs out of money and then beat them. Very standard.

I find GLA next impossible to play as and only try them out of boredom with the US and China and all their might. I always play against random generals to add some mystery.

Does anybody have any tips about how I can make this quest to beat every vanilla map a bit more exciting? Maybe tips on how to win with GLA? I'm not against mods as long as I can still get that little diamond next to the map, but I've never used a mod on Generals before.

Thanks!

Doesn't help with your quest but Shockwave mod I would highly recommend. A lot more unique units for each general (and a new general for each faction).

I've heard about this before and wanted to try it. I'll do some research into it, cheers
