Man you must be played on easy, because in my game on medium the Ironside general attack non stop with full upgraded mammoths and tanks from minute 3, it is literally impossible
Ik this is nearly 4 years old so it might be a shot in the dark; but do you remember if he was really the 5th general for you? For me, he was the 8th. In fact, the 5th general for me was Kwai, whereas for you he was the 10th. And for me, Ironside was 9th while for you he was the 7th. What I’m saying is that the order was somehow different despite being the same mod and add-on.
i play all generals in order, only thing i can think is that there might've been an update to Shockwave or Shockwave Addon that changed the order of generals on the challenge
Btw can we have a Hard difficulty , ShockWave , challenge mode , Stealth General VS Dr. Thrax RU-vid vids of ShockWave of this match up , are all on the Normal difficulty !
the air force general is the scariest US general IMO, he can't exactly fight you on the ground but he has a fuckton of bombers who will terrorize you till the end of time.
