CNC: Generals Zero Hour Expansion

The Generals

The heart of the Expansion is the new challenge mode. There are nine new generals, each with their own strategies, personalities, tactics and taunts. The key to this mode is choosing a general and using that strategy to defeat the other generals one at a time in a fighting game vs. competition. Each general has new units or upgrades not available in the normal single-player or skirmish games, so these challenges will provide yet another level of replayability and interest. All generals are playable in Generals Challenge, skirmish and multiplayer, except for the boss general. 

Below is a listing of the Generals available in Zero Hour. Click on their pictures for a larger view, and check out each Generals profile link for detailed information.
