Advanced guard tower (Tiberian Dawn)

Summary
This structure was a more powerful version of the Guard Tower. Armed with tomahawk missiles this building was much better equipped to deal with Nod’s armoured units, and was able to engage aerial threats as well. GDI commanders made the decision to mount the missiles high above the ground. Although this gave them more range, it also prevented them from shooting these missiles at targets immediately adjaicent to the advanced guard tower. By the time of the Re-genesis project, GDI commanders believed that this was a serious weakness, and had machine guns installed on the base of the structure to protect it from infantry attack. The resulting structure was much more difficult to assault, particularly with infantry.
