For each Strength there is a major weakness, I don't understand why people don't see this.
Take Granger. He rules the sky but gets utterly owned against everything else. Remember the King Raptor can only shoot down missiles, the Quad Cannon and Gattling Tank will be fine against him. If your U.S. Use 1 or 2 Avengers.
Townes. Townes has a great ability in his laser forces as they are basically strong against everything. However, his lacks the standard assault tanks of the norm. A humvee or 2 with Missile Defenders or a few Paladins make short work of Townes.
Alexander. Alexis' strengths are in her defenses. The EMP Patriot with a few firebases make short work of anything, however she lacks assault abilites. A few Humvee's loaded with Infantry will get past Alexander (even if she EMP's you, release your infantry and knock out the turrets with those. That or use Auroa's which the EMP's can't hit.
Hun Kwai. Powerful yes in takes, but his air and infantry are lacking greatly. Easily matched by the GLA and US. His biggest weakness is the fact that he simply sticks to tanks. Modify your strategy to anything else like air and you'll rule the day. If your the GLA, the Terrorist Combat Cycle is a great defense.
Shi Tao. He's specialsed in Nuclear weaponry meaning you have an early game advantage. Tao also isn't a major "special general" like Granger, Alexander or Townes. He's fairly even so any tactic will work with him.
Shin Fai. Majorly infantry orientated so therefore you have a strength in your tanks. However his unique units (including the Helix 2) are a threat, so you need to take his units into account when assualting his base. A few Gattling Tanks will do fine.
Prince Kassad. Because you can't see him, means he has an advantage in normal combat. However, because he doesn't have the use of tanks, you have an advantage in your ability to "steamroll" Kassad. A good match of stealth -vs- strength.
Dr. Thrax. Because the good doc is toxinised means that most conventions will have to be re-orientated. The good thing though is that some units are less effective because they are toxic. Therefore Dragon Tanks for example are far more effective than normal because Thrax is all toxin. There are at least 3 counters to Thrax.
"Demo" Juhziz. Strong in his demolition abilites but lacking in the toxins. The best effective counter to Juhziz is to use ranged weapons. Because demolition weapons require close range to do damage, any ranged weapon will do the trick.
Oh BTW, regarding the Laser -vs- Air Force Generals. Townes, weapons require a great amount of power. Simply send Aurora's into the power plants. Without the power plants the laser weapons are offline and Avengers can't do anything against vehicles.
Hope it helps you all in choosing your general. When it comes to side generals. I usually go for
US - Alexis Alexander
China - Ta Hun Kwai
GLA - Rodall "Demo" Juhziz
