Easy skirmish mode wins
Play as the U.S. laser general against the Chinese infantry general. This also works well on the eight-player maps. Sit up so that every man is for himself. On the hard level, the infantry general sends waves of soldiers who are easily mowed
down by the laser turrets. Be quick to obtain the particle cannon so that you can knock out the nuclear missiles.
U.S.: Defenses
Line an area with a sequence of Patriot, then Firestorm Base, Patriot, and keep going. Then fill the Firestorm Bases with four Pathfinders. This will help you take out infantry without trouble of Flashbangs or other hazards.

U.S.: Ultimate killing force
Get six Humvees with TOW missiles and the Repair Droid. Load them up with two Snipers and three Rocket Soldiers. Use your Particle Cannon to knock out the enemies defenses then wreak havoc on the rest of the base.
Dr. Thrax: Perfect attack force
As GLA Dr. Thrax, upgrade to Anthrax Gamma. After that, you will need four Battle Buses. Fill two of them with Toxin Rebels and the other two with RPG Troopers. This force will be very difficult to defeat because the Toxin Rebel buses
will destroy all infantry in range, while the RPG troopers will destroy every tank, aircraft, and even most buildings very easily. Also, they can attack from behind and in front at the same time.
Ultimate Defense
Note1: special and super weapons may still hit your base.
Note 2: there are other ways to defend your base, i just think this is the best one ;)
USA: build 3-4 fire bases at each entrance to your base. then put three missile guys and a sniper in each. put 2 avengers behind each base, and keep a tomahawk around to deal with artillery.
China: build bunkers at each entrace(build more than 2) and fill them with 2 Red Guard and 3 rocket guys. then keep a nuke cannon around to take out enemy artillery.
GLA: build a solid wall of stingers around your base, and put a tunnel network somwhere so you can get in and out of you base. keep a rocket buggy or scud aroud to deal with artilery.
Unlimited Money
First you have to find your "Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data" folder. It is probably under My Documents. Once you open the folder, look for the file called "Skirmish" (NOTE: the file is NOT called SkirmishStats). Once you open the file, look for the section labeled "StartingCash". When you see that section, you can enter in any number, no matter how big or small, it will work. When you start the game and go to the skirmish setup menu, the starting cash section will NOT say how much you typed in. But wait once you start the game, the cash will be there.
Save room in Tunnel Network
If you are the GLA and if you can make a Battle Bus, make eight and fill them all up with Rocket Soldiers (or something you like). then take the eight filled Battle Busses and put them into a Tunnel Network, that way you can put 64 soldiers in one Tunnel Network.
