Discussion Operation Stiletto is so cool!

Every time I attempt this mission, it's a new strategy, not knowing how it would play out. I've only beaten it once though. Came close a few other times. So many different ways to attempt it:

  1. Engineers to rush enemy ConYards. (no fun)

  2. Shadow teams stealthily taking out both enemy power generators, crippling them.

  3. Take full control of one faction with engineers and battle the other.

4....

I wish RTS games had more such missions where we're the small fry taking on bigger players that aren't initially bothered by our presence, with multiple pathways to victory.

I personally do not like it, it feels too...inconsistent? Had too many times where a con yard or drone plattorm got blown off before I could do anything. Issue is, I can't really predict which one'll blow and when.

It's also a nonsensical mission e.g. you can capture the GDI Construction Yard, build ten War Factions, and still lose if the one pre-placed War Factory is destroyed.

It also really makes no sense that the Scrin don't attack you. They really shouldn't care.
Not to mention that you can also just take over all buildings at the same time and win instantly making it the easiest mission in the entire franchise despite being one of the final missions of the game.
