1. Updates
October 29, 2000: Started the FAQ. Finished the walkthrough for the
Allied campaign and the specifications for Allied and Soviet units and
structures. More should be coming soon... (Version 1.0)
October 30, 2000: Added the Tutorial section that will be filled soon.
Finished most of the Allied infantry units' section as well as the
three first missions in the Soviet campaign. (Version 1.1)
October 31, 2000: Added some more units and vehicles description as
well as some minor corrections to the whole FAQ in general. I have a
lot of test and projects for a few days to come so I might not update
for that time. But I will try to sneak in a few tiny updates if I can
find the time to do so. (Version 1.2)
November 4, 2000: Due to overwhelming demands to my email, urging me to
quickly finish the walkthrough, I've finished the Soviet missions up to
mission eleven at 0012 hours. Added several more units' descriptions
also. (Version 1.3)
November 4, 2000: Finished the last mission for the Soviet campaign at
0927 hours. Whew!!! What a tough one... (Version 1.4)
November 5, 2000: Just finish replaying and rewriting the whole Allied
campaign. Corrected some errors in par times and introduced new and
faster strategies to beat the missions. (Version 1.5)
November 12, 2000: Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been very busy
with school lately. Never mind about that as I have played intensively
during the weekend and I have come up with several new strategies for
both campaigns. Added my own time for some of the missions as well as
the rank. (Version 1.6)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Introduction
Please note that I'm very busy with schoolwork (I'm a grade 11 student)
and updates may be very slow. I will try to update as often as I can
but the major ones will only come during weekends. This is my second
FAQ so I hope you will forgive me on any mistakes and errors. If you
have any critics, suggestions, comments and things to add, don't
hesitate to email me at varkovsky@hotmail.com.
One more thing, this FAQ is protected by the international Copyright
Law so if there's anyone who wants to post this FAQ in his or her site,
YOU HAVE TO LET ME KNOW FIRST!!! I've heard many stories about people
plagiarizing other people's FAQ to make money and believe me, writing
FAQ is not easy and to you know how it feels if your hard work is used
by other people. So for all plagiarizers out there, be warned that if
you do anything to my FAQ, I SWEAR THAT I WON'T LET YOU OFF THAT
EASILY!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Game Overview
Red Alert 2 is one of the best RTS games ever created (in my opinion at
least). Everything was just amazing!!! The units and structures are
absolutely fantastic and equally balanced on both sides. The heart-
thumping music just adds to the excitement of the game whether you're
playing in the single player mode or battling other people online. And
on top of that, the cut scenes are absolutely superb which will engross
you deeper in the storyline...
This time, the story is set after the defeat of Josef Stalin to the
Allied forces almost twenty years ago in the original Red Alert. The
Allied installed a puppet leader, Premier Alexi Romanov, to lead the
Soviet Union and they thought that the world had finally come to know
peace...
However, Romanov had been craving a revenge for all this time and the
waiting time is over for the Motherland... He secretly builds up
stockpiles of weapons including the deadly nuclear missiles and the new
mind control device.
All of a sudden, NORAD picked up Soviet troops attacking America from
all sides and the invasion had begun. Soviet troops are deploying all
over America and all the major US cities fell one by one to be crushed
by the Soviets. Will the US be crushed under the aggressive communist
heels or will they emerge victoriously to repel the Soviets assault?
Only you will decide their fate in Red Alert 2!!!

5. Units and Structures
***********************************************************************
A. ALLIED UNITS
***********************************************************************
+++++Infantry+++++
GI
Cost: 200
Weapon: M60 heavy machine gun (deployed) and Parabellum pistol
(undeployed)
Strength: 125
Armor: None
Sight: 5
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, firepower and
rate of fire
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks
Tech Level: 1
GIs are the most basic infantry unit for the Allies. They are quite
weak but things will change when you deploy them by pressing D. They
will construct sandbags around themselves and their Parabellum pistol
will be upgraded to M60 heavy machine gun.
When they are deployed, their firepower will be increased as well as
the range thus making them quite a deadly opponent for the Soviets
Conscripts. The only drawback is that they cannot move at all during
deployment and tanks can still roll them over so be careful.
Engineer
Cost: 500
Weapon: Bomb defusing kit
Strength: 75
Armor: None
Sight: 4
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: Barracks
Tech Level: 1
Engineers can repair your damaged buildings back to full health again.
They also can repair destroyed bridges. Just order them to go into the
bridge hut and the bridge will be automatically repaired.
Not only that, you can also tell them to defuse Crazy Ivan's bombs by
targeting the affected units or structures.
However, the most useful feature is probably their ability to capture
buildings. Just order them to enter the intended building and it will
be yours straight away. They are also needed to capture neutral Tech
Buildings for your own benefits.
Rocketeer
Cost: 600
Weapon: 20mm mini machine-gun
Strength: 125
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: 9
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Air Force Command Headquarters
Tech Level: 3
These rocketeers come equipped with a jetpack aside from their 20mm
mini machine-gun, which enable them to hover on the battlefield. They
make very good air support, as ground units cannot attack them in any
way. They are very vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire though so keep them
out of harm's way.
Spy
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Make-up kit (disguise)
Strength: 100
Armor: Flak
Sight: 9
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 5
Spy is one of the most important units for the Allied. Spy's main
advantage is his ability to disguise himself. Send him to enemy
structures, which will usually give you some benefits. However, be
careful of Attack dogs, as they are the only units that can see through
the disguise. The following is a list of the benefits you get when you
infiltrate your Spy into enemy structures.
If a Spy infiltrate the enemy's...
War Factory: All the vehicles that you produce will have one stripe.
Barracks: All the infantries that you train will be veterans.
Ore Refinery: All the cash in the Ore Refinery will become yours.
Power Plant/Tesla Reactor: Enemy power supply shuts down temporarily.
Air Force Command Headquarters/Radar Tower: The shroud will be reset
for the enemy.
Battle Lab: Special infantries become available to be produced (see the
units section for more detailed info – Chrono Commando, Psi-Commando,
Chrono Ivan and Yuri Prime).
Superweapons: The countdown will be reset.
Tanya
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Dual pistols and C4 charges
Strength: 125
Armor: Flak
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, ability to scatter, increased sight, rate
of fire and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
Tanya can kill enemy infantries instantaneously with her dual pistols.
Not only that, she can also C4 enemy buildings, destroying them
instantly. She can also swim and you may use her to blow up enemy naval
units in the water. You can also destroy bridges instantly by ordering
her to C4 the bridge hut.
SEAL
Cost: 1000
Weapon: MP5 machine gun and C4 charges
Strength: 125
Armor: Flak
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, ability to scatter, increased
sight, rate of fire and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, faster, increased firepower and
rate of fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 1
SEALs are basically the "male" version of Tanya. Instead of pistols,
they come equipped with MP5 machine gun, which make them equally
dangerous to enemy infantries like Tanya. They are equipped with C4 and
they can swim also. However, the only difference is their shooting
range is a bit shorter than that of Tanya. Nevertheless, you will still
find them quite useful.
Attack dog
Cost: 200
Weapon: Teeth
Strength: 100
Armor: None
Sight: 9
Speed: 8
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, ability to scatter, increased
sight, rate of fire and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks
Tech Level: 2
These specially trained German Shepherds are very useful against
infantries. They are the only unit that can sniff out enemy Spies so
you might want to train a few to guard your key structures. They can
also kill infantries with one "hit". Basically they will jump and
sprang the targeted infantry, killing them instantly, including
deployed GIs.
Chrono Legionnaire
Cost: 1500
Weapon: Neutron rifle
Strength: 125
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: instantaneous teleportation
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 10
What is unique about them is that instead of walking around, they
teleports around the map. The only drawback is that the farther the
place is, the longer it will take him to "appear" in his new location.
They are very susceptible to enemy fire during this moment.
Their neutron rifle is very different from the rest of RA2 units as
instead of destroying the enemies, they simply erase them out of time.
The more powerful is the enemy, the longer will this process take. If
the Chrono Legionnaire is killed while erasing an enemy unit, the
partially erased unit will reappear.
Chrono Commando
Cost: 2000
Weapon: Chrono MP5 machine gun
Strength: 100
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower.
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire.
Prerequisite: infiltrate a Spy into an Allied Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
Psi-Commando
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Mind Control and C4 charges
Strength: 100
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: infiltrate a Spy into a Soviet Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
They have the same ability as Yuri from the Soviets. He can mind
control enemy units as well as create a psionic wave. Their only new
ability is that they are also equipped with C4 charges to blow
buildings up just like Tanya and the SEALs.
+++++Vehicles+++++
Grizzly Battle Tank
Cost: 700
Weapon: 105mm cannon
Strength: 300
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 8
Speed: 7
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory
Tech Level: 2
They are quite weak but you will find them useful en masse. However,
they are no match for the Soviets Rhino Heavy Tanks. This standard
Allied tank uses a 105mm cannon, which is considered very weak to be
able to penetrate the Soviet tanks heavy armor. The only way to use
them effectively is to support them with Prism and Mirage Tanks.
Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV)
Cost: 600
Weapon: Hover Missiles
Strength: 200
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 10
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory
Tech Level: 3
Mirage Tank
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Mirage gun
Strength: 200
Armor: Light
Sight: 9
Speed: 7
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
Mirage Tanks are quite weak but when they are not moving, they are
automatically disguised as a tree. This feature enables them to perform
sneak attack on the enemy. Just position them near some trees leading
to your base. When the enemy sends some troops to assault your base,
they will be in for a devastating surprise.
Mirage Tanks are especially useful against infantry units.
The only disadvantage is that they will be exposed for a brief movement
when firing thus alerting the enemy of their presence. Again, you
should support them with some Grizzly Battle Tanks and Prism Tanks with
the hope that the enemy's attention will be diverted for a while.
Prism Tank
Cost: 1200
Weapon: Comet laser beam
Strength: 150
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 8
This is the most powerful Allied tank, as its deadly comet laser beam
will disperse from the target when hit, enabling it to hit other nearby
enemy units as well for lesser damage.
Set up the Prism Tanks and the Mirage Tanks for and ambush and you will
be guaranteed to blow the turrets off those Soviet tanks.
MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)
Cost: 3000
Weapon: None
Strength: 1000
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 6
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: War Factory and Service Depot
Tech Level: 10
This is the origin of your most important building, the Construction
Yard. Basically, you just have to deploy it by clicking D and it will
magically transform itself into a Construction Yard in one second.
When in multiplayer, if you create a game, you will be given the option
to enable "MCV Repacks" or not. If you choose to do so, you can order
the Construction Yard to transform back into an MCV thus letting you to
deploy it somewhere else.
Chrono Miner
Cost: 1400
Weapon: None
Strength: 1000
Armor: Medium
Sight: 4
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: War Factory and Ore Refinery
Tech Level: 1
Chrono Miner is the heart of your economy as its main and only purpose
is to harvest ore and transfer it into the Ore Refinery where it will
be converted into cash.
As its name suggests, the Chrono Miner has the ability to chronoshift
itself. When it is fully filled with ore, like the Chrono Legionnaire,
it will automatically teleports back to the Ore Refinery. This feature
usually allows the Allied to gain more cash than the Soviets within the
same time.
Harrier
Cost: 1200
Weapon: Maverick air-to-ground missiles
Strength: 150
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 14
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Air Force Command Headquarters
Tech Level: 3
These Harrier jets are useful against ground units. They are quite fast
and you will find yourself using them quite often for "hit and run"
mission into enemy base.
They are very vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire though so the best
method to use them is to bring in some tanks and disable the base's
anti-aircraft defense first.
The Harriers will be parked at the Air Force Command Headquarters and
there can only be four of them in a time. So if you want to have more
Harriers, you have to build additional Air Force Command Headquarters
as well.
Night Hawk Transport
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Black Hawk Cannon
Strength: 175
Armor: Light
Sight: 7
Speed: 14
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory
Tech Level: 7
These helicopters are designed specially to transport infantry units
quickly over the battlefield. One Night Hawk Transport can be filled up
to five infantry units.
It is also equipped with the Black Hawk Cannon, a small machine gun
mounted beneath the chopper's nose to defend itself from any minor
attacks.
Please note that they are very susceptible to anti-aircraft fire. If it
gets shot down, all the infantry units on board will be lost as well.
What is unique about them is that they are completely invisible to
enemy radar thus making your way back and forth from one place to
another should be a piece of cake.
Amphibious Transport
Cost: 900
Weapon: None
Strength: 300
Armor: Light
Sight: 6
Speed: 6
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: Naval Yard
Tech Level: 4
These specially designed hovercrafts are mainly used to transport units
and vehicles from one place to another in a short time. They can cross
over water also so they can be used to transport units from one island
to another. However, they have no weapons at all and the light armor
makes them very vulnerable to enemy fire.
Be warned that if an Amphibious Transport is destroyed, all the units
and vehicles on board will also be lost so take all the necessary
precautions to prevent that from happening.
Destroyer
Cost: 1000
Weapon: 155mm cannon and ASW helicopters
Strength: 600
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 7
Speed: 6
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Naval Yard
Tech Level: 4
The Destroyers are the most basic Allied naval unit, which had proven
its effectiveness in taking out submerged objects such as the Soviets
Submarines and Giant Squids.
Once an enemy is spotted, the Destroyer will launch its ASW helicopter
that will in turn fire its air-to-ground missiles to take out the
intended target. It will return to the Destroyer for reloading before
taking off again until the target is destroyed. If the ASW helicopter
is shot down, wait for a few moments and a replacement should be
provided to finish the job.
Destroyers are also equipped with 155mm cannon, which allow them to
bombard the enemy's shoreline base defenses as well as any buildings
nearby.
Aegis Cruiser
Cost: 1200
Weapon: Medusa ground-to-air missiles
Strength: 800
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Naval Yard and Air Force Command Headquarters
Tech Level: 7
The Aegis Cruisers are specially intended to engage enemy air units as
well as any incoming missile attacks. Its Medusa ground-to-air missiles
are especially useful against the Soviets Dred rockets.
You might want to keep a few of them near your shoreline to guard
against any Soviets long-range Dreadnought attacks.
Aircraft Carrier
Cost: 2000 and 2500 (for Americans in multiplayer)
Weapon: Hornet jet planes
Strength: 800 and 1500 (for Americans in multiplayer)
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 7
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Naval Yard and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 7
These huge Aircraft Carriers are mainly used to destroy any surface
Soviet naval units. They attack by ordering the Hornet jet planes
parked on the deck to take off and destroy the intended target.
Similar to the Destroyer's ASW helicopters, the Hornets are unlimited
and if you lose one, another one will be ready to replace it. They also
have to reload by landing on the Aircraft Carrier before taking off
again a few seconds later to finish the job.
The only difference they have compared with the Destroyer is that
multiple Hornets can fly at a time instead of one as in the case of the
ASW helicopter.
Dolphin
Cost: 500
Weapon: Sonar amplification device
Strength: 200
Armor: Light
Sight: 4
Speed: 8
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Naval Yard and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 5
Dolphins are probably the weakest naval unit in the Allied forces.
However, it does have some special characteristic that should be quite
appealing. Aside from being invisible in enemy's radar, they are also
cloaked thus enabling them to slip pass enemy naval units undetected.
Furthermore, Dolphins are the only unit who can release a ship when it
is grabbed by the Soviets Giant Squid. You have to attack the affected
ship and the Giant Squid will release its tentacles.
Dolphins attack with sonar waves, which made them very effective
against the Soviets Giant Squids and Submarines.
***********************************************************************
B. ALLIED STRUCTURES
***********************************************************************
Construction Yard
Cost: 3000
Strength: 1000
Armor: Concrete
Sight: 8
Power: 0
Prerequisite: None
Tech Level: 1
Construction Yard is the most vital building in your base. You can't
build any other structures without it. Protect this building at all
times and NEVER EVER let it be destroyed or captured if possible.
You can build another MCV later as you ascend through the tech tree but
it will cost time and money so it is not worth it at all except in real
emergency.
Power Plant
Cost: 800
Strength: 750
Armor: Wood
Sight: 4
Power: 200
Prerequisite: Construction Yard
Tech Level: 1
Structures need power to be able to operate effectively and these Power
Plants will provide exactly that. The more structures you have, the
more Power Plants you will need to build to compensate for the power
loss. They are weak so keep them guarded at all times so that you won't
experience "blackout" in your base in case of an enemy attack.
Production will slow and defense system will went offline if your power
is not sufficient to sustain the base's output so keep that in mind.
Ore Refinery
Cost: 2000
Strength: 1000
Armor: Wood
Sight: 6
Power: -50
Prerequisite: Construction Yard and Power Plant
Tech Level: 1
Your Chrono Miners will return here to unload the ore that they
harvested and it will be converted into cash immediately. Without this
structure, your base's economy is virtually crippled but nevertheless,
you can always build another one as long as your Construction Yard is
still standing.
Barracks
Cost: 500
Strength: 500
Armor: Steel
Sight: 5
Power: -10
Prerequisite: Construction Yard and Power Plant
Tech Level: 2
All your infantry units from the most basic GI to the most advanced
Chrono Legionnaire will be trained here. Do not worry too much about
this building as you can easily replace it should it gets destroyed or
captured due to its low cost. You may also build several Barracks to
speed up the training rate.
War Factory
Cost: 2000
Strength: 1000
Armor: Wood
Sight: 4
Power: -25
Prerequisite: Construction Yard, Power Plant and Ore Refinery
Tech Level: 2
Most of your vehicles from the most basic Grizzly Battle Tanks to the
most advanced Prism Tanks will be produced there. You will want to keep
a closer eye on this building than the Barracks because it takes more
time and money to build. You may also build several War Factories to
speed the production rate.
Naval Shipyard
Cost: 1000
Strength: 1500
Armor: Concrete
Sight: 10
Power: -25
Prerequisite: Construction Yard, Power Plant and Ore Refinery
Tech Level: 4
All your naval units from the most basic Destroyers to the specially
equipped Dolphins will be produced here. This structure has to be
placed entirely in water and should be protected also.
Try not to lose it because naval battle is almost as important as
ground assault and you don't want the enemy to gain naval superiority
thus enabling the tide of battle to be turned quickly.

This is the origin of your most important building, the Construction
Yard. Basically, you just have to deploy it by clicking D and it will
magically transform itself into a Construction Yard in one second.
When in multiplayer, if you create a game, you will be given the option
to enable "MCV Repacks" or not. If you choose to do so, you can order
the Construction Yard to transform back into an MCV thus letting you to
deploy it somewhere else.

Armor: Medium
Sight: 4
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of

Prerequisite: War Factory and Ore Refinery
Tech Level: 1
War-Miner is the heart of your economy as its main and only purpose is
to harvest ore and transfer it into the Ore Refinery where it will be
converted into cash.
The only advantage it has is a machine gun mounted on top, which enable
it to defend against any hostile units. However, the machine gun is not
very powerful, making it quite useless against enemy tanks but still
useful against infantry units.

Prerequisite: War Factory and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 10
These huge Soviet zeppelins is equipped with massive payloads of heavy
Blimp bombs which can do enormous damage on enemy structures as well as
most enemy units especially the light armored ones.
Even if the bombs doesn't hit a targeted enemy unit directly, you will
notice that the unit will receive less damage and it will be "shaken" a
little bit.

These specially designed hovercrafts are mainly used to transport units
and vehicles from one place to another in a short time. They can cross
over water also so they can be used to transport units from one island
to another. However, they have no weapons at all and the light armor
makes them very vulnerable to enemy fire.
Be warned that if an Amphibious Transport is destroyed, all the units
and vehicles on board will also be lost so take all the necessary
precautions to prevent that from happening.

D. Soviet structures
***********************************************************************
Construction Yard
Cost: 3000
Strength: 1000
Armor: Concrete
Sight: 8
Power: 0
Prerequisite: None
Tech Level: 1
Construction Yard is the most vital building in your base. You can't
build any other structures without it. Protect this building at all
times and NEVER EVER let it be destroyed or captured if possible.
You can build another MCV later as you ascend through the tech tree but
it will cost time and money so it is not worth it at all except in real
emergency.
Tesla Reactor
Cost: 600
Strength: 750
Armor: Wood
Sight: 4
Power: 150
Prerequisite: Construction Yard
Tech Level: 1
Structures need power to be able to operate effectively and these Tesla
Reactors will provide exactly that. The more structures you have, the
more Tesla Reactors you will need to build to compensate for the power
loss. They are weak so keep them guarded at all times so that you won't
experience "blackout" in your base in case of an enemy attack.
Production will slow and defense system will went offline if your power
is not sufficient to sustain the base's output so keep that in mind.
Ore Refinery
Cost: 2000
Strength: 1000
Armor: Wood
Sight: 6
Power: -50
Prerequisite: Construction Yard and Tesla Reactor
Tech Level: 1
Your War-Miners will return here to unload the ore that they harvested
and it will be converted into cash immediately. Without this structure,
your base's economy is virtually crippled but nevertheless, you can
always build another one as long as your Construction Yard is still
standing.
Barracks
Cost: 500
Strength: 500
Armor: Steel
Sight: 6
Power: -10
Prerequisite: Construction Yard and Tesla Reactor
Tech Level: 2
All your infantry units from the most basic Conscript to the most
advanced Yuri will be trained here. Do not worry too much about this
building as you can easily replace it should it gets destroyed or
captured due to its low cost. You may also build several Barracks to
speed up the training rate.
War Factory
Cost: 2000
Strength: 1000
Armor: Wood
Sight: 4
Power: -25
Prerequisite: Construction Yard, Power Plant and Ore Refinery
Tech Level: 2
Most of your vehicles from the most basic Rhino Heavy Tanks to the
powerful Kirov Airships will be produced there. You will want to keep a
closer eye on this building than the Barracks because it takes more
time and money to build. You may also build several War Factories to
speed the production rate.
Naval Shipyard
Cost: 1000
Strength: 1500
Armor: Concrete
Sight: 10
Power: -20
Prerequisite: Construction Yard, Ore Refinery and Tesla Reactor
Tech Level: 2
All your naval units from the most basic Submarines to the mind
controlled Giant Squids will be produced here. This structure has to be
placed entirely in water and should be protected also.
Try not to lose it because naval battle is almost as important as
ground assault and you don't want the enemy to gain naval superiority
thus enabling the tide of battle to be turned quickly.

The sniper is equipped with a long-range sniper rifle thus enabling him
to gain tremendous range and power. Snipers can take out any infantry
units with one hit from a considerable distance away.
So it is always useful to let a few of them to tag along whenever you
are making an assault to enemy bases.
Train a few as well and station them in your base, just in case the
opposition attempted an Engineer/Tanya rush. At least, the snipers can
help in putting them out of commission right?

***********************************************************************
F. Tech Buildings
***********************************************************************
Tech buildings have to be captured by Engineers first before you can
utilize them to your advantage.
Airport
Strength: 800
Armor: Concrete
Tech Level: 1
When captured, you will have a new "paratroopers" option in your Armory
Tab. You can drop Paratroopers anywhere across the map (except on water
of course) after every few minutes. They are only useful for support
fire on enemy bases or to defend your own base as an aid to the
available defensive structures.
If you are playing on the Allied side, the Paratroopers will be GIs.
If you are playing on the Soviet side, the Paratroopers will be
Conscripts.
Hospital
Strength: 800
Armor: Concrete
Tech Level: 1
This building is not too useful as you can order your infantry units
here if you want to heal them to maximum health. That's the only
purpose it has. Why waste an Engineer to capture a pretty mush useless
building?
Outpost
Strength: 2000
Armor: Concrete
Tech Level: 1
This is another useless building as its purpose is only to serve as a
service depot. It is also equipped with some rockets to defend itself
but they are too weak to show any real difference when attacked.
However, due to the fact that it is usually located far from the base
and close to an ore field (sometimes), you may repair your Chrono or
War-Miners here if they get damaged.
Oil Derrick
Strength: 1000
Armor: Steel
Tech Level: 1
This is probably the most useful tech building. When captured, these
Oil Derricks will provide you with a steady flow of cash, which is
vital to your base's economy progress.

6. Walkthrough
!!!IMPORTANT!!!
?This walkthrough was based on playing in normal difficulty.
Playing easy difficulty would mean less aggression from the enemy and
they will seldom attack your base. The enemy's base defenses are not
that strong also. You are also given an excessive amount of par time.
Playing normal difficulty would mean more aggression from the enemy and
they will be commencing more frequent assault to your base. The bases
are usually moderately defended. Par times are shorter and will prove
to be quite challenging.
Playing hard difficulty would mean that the enemy will be very
aggressive and your base will be pounded from time to time with a
shorter interval between one assault and the next one. Enemy bases are
always heavily defended and you will need to assault it several times
before completely destroying it. Par times are very short and timing is
really crucial if you want to finish the mission under the time limit.
***********************************************************************
ALLIED CAMPAIGN
***********************************************************************
Mission one: Operation Lone Guardian
Location: New York
Par time: 10 minutes
My time: 5 minutes and 25 seconds
Rank: Staff Sergeant
Briefing:
The Soviets have invaded. They outnumber us ten to one. You must assist
special agent Tanya in New York. We are marshaling our forces as fast
as we can, Commander, but we need time. A small American base, Fort
Bradley, is in the New York area. If you can make contact, they may be
able to assist in the defense of New York. Tanya will be moving through
a chaotic battlefield. Keep your eye out for targets of opportunity and
watch for new mission objectives.
Objective 1: Destroy the Soviet Dreadnought Fleet.
Objective 2: Make contact with Fort Bradley.
Objective 3: Keep Tanya alive.
Objective 4: Destroy the Soviet supply base (given upon completing the
second objective).
Walkthrough:
Send Tanya to swim in the water and plant C4 charges in the four Soviet
Dreadnoughts. When they were sunk, climb onto the Liberty Island and
assist the GIs in thwarting Soviet paratroopers.
Go to the northwest and assist the GIs at the road intersection. Kill
off all the Soviet troops here. Follow the road to the northeast and
when you reach the McBurgerKong and the gas station, another group of
Soviet paratroopers will come. Kill them all and keep following the
road to the southeast. You'll get to Fort Bradley.
Additional note:
If you head north from Fort Bradley, you will find three veteran
Grizzly Battle Tanks. Bring them with you.
Lieutenant Eva will come online and congratulate you as well as giving
you a new mission objective, destroy a Soviet supply base to the south.
You'll also be warned of Soviet troops parachuting to the north. Wait
for them to come to the Fort Bradley and take them out with the Attack
dogs or just let the Pill-boxes do the job. From now on, Soviet
paratroopers will keep coming in a short interval of time. However,
they won't pose too much problem to your mission, as the Pill-boxes are
more than enough to handle them.
Build a barrack and train an engineer. Tell him to repair the bridge
leading to the Soviet base. Send Tanya to the Soviet base through the
back door and she should be safe from those sentry guns. Shoot the oil
barrels for quick destruction and C4 the remaining buildings.
There are two power up crates in the base (near the immobile V3 rocket
launcher). The left one will heal the unit to maximum health while the
right one will improve unit's speed.
Use the three Grizzly Battle Tanks to destroy the V3 rocket launchers
as well as blowing up the sentry guns in front of the base. Mission
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission two: Operation Eagle Dawn
Location: Air Force Academy, Colorado
Par time: 25 minutes
My time: 7 minutes and 1 second
Rank: Master Sergeant
Briefing:
Soviet troops cover America like a foul plague. They have even
penetrated out heartland to capture the Air Force Academy in Colorado.
The Academy, its cadets, and the unique technology it contains are
vital to our defense. Use Tanya to contact any America forces in the
area, reclaim our Air Force Academy, and drive the Soviets from the
area.
Objective 1: Re-capture the Soviet-occupied Air Force Academy Chapel.
Objective 2: Destroy all Soviet forces.
Objective 3: Keep Tanya alive.
Walkthrough:
Send Tanya to kill the four Soviet Conscripts on the road and grab an
armor power-up crate nearby. If you destroy the house next to it, it
will reveal another crate, which will bolster your money.
Lieutenant Eva will contact and inform you of the group of rocketeers.
Send Tanya further down the road and Air Force Academy location to the
northwest will be revealed to you. When you reach the road
intersection, just enter the base. Kill the lone Conscript here and
blow up the flak cannons with C4.
Send in the rocketeers to take out the sentry guns and a group of
engineers will be parachuted. Capture all the buildings and when you
capture the Air Force Command Headquarters, the planes will take off to
reveal the captured Allied base to the east.
Build a few Grizzly Battle Tanks and send them to the entrance of your
base.
Tell the rocketeers to circle around the Soviet base and destroy the
Construction Yard and the Tesla Reactors. Take out the two Flak Cannons
and level the base to the ground. Don't forget to use the Harriers as
fire support.
Reinforcement consisted veteran GIs will be parachuted and use them to
mop up any remaining Soviet units. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission three: Operation Hail to the Chief
Location: Washington DC
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 11 minutes and 19 seconds
Rank: Sergeant Major
Briefing:
The Soviets have invaded Washington DC and have used their evil psychic
technology to mind control our leaders. You must rescue them by
destroying the Psychic Beacon near the White House.
Objective 1: Destroy the Psychic Beacon.
Walkthrough:
Use an engineer to repair the Jefferson Memorial and you will be
rewarded with two crates. The left one will promote the unit by one
stripe and the right one contains money.
Set up your base as usual and garrison twenty GIs in the building to
the right (near the bridge) with the number of ten GIs in each
building. Soviet troops consisted of Conscripts and Tesla Troopers will
come to attack backed up by civilians and technicians that have been
mind controlled. The garrisoned GIs should be able to keep them at bay.
When you have build an Air Force Command Headquarters, the map will be
revealed, showing several key structures that have been damaged.
Build a second Chrono Miner to increase money flow and then lots of
rocketeers as well as four to eight Harriers. At some point here, you
will receive reinforcement to the southeast consisted of four rocket
IFVs near the Smithsonian Castle. Tell them to kill the two Tesla
Troopers guarding it and grab the crate nearby. You will be rewarded
with some cash.
Send them to the northeast (stick to the edge of the map) and find the
Psychic Beacon there. Tell them to attack it and you should be able to
deal a significant amount of damage before the four IFVs are destroyed.
Send the Harriers to the east and go north (stick to the edge of the
map) and approach the Psychic Beacon from the southeast.
Blow up the Psychic Beacon and a Night Hawk Transport will pick up the
President. Mission accomplished!!!
Additional note:
Send engineers to repair all the key structures across the map and you
will be rewarded with two crates for each structure that you repaired,
adding to a total of eight crates.
The four crates at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial
will bolster your cash.
The left crate at the Smithsonian Castle will give you cash also but
the right one will increase unit's speed.
The left crate at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum will give you
some money while the right one will increase unit's armor.
***********************************************************************
Mission four: Operation Last Chance
Location: Chicago
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 10 minutes and 8 seconds
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant
Briefing:
Soviet forces continue to rampage across America. Our agents have
discovered a large Psychic Amplifier in Chicago. If activated, this
device will allow the Soviets to mind control all of North America.
Objective 1: Force a shore landing and establish a base.
Objective 2: Destroy the Psychic Amplifier before it comes online.
Walkthrough:
Wait for the rocketeers to take out the Grand Cannons first then tell
your Destroyers to move in and destroy every single Soviet units and
structures near the shore. Be careful of submarines lurking in the
water!!!
Move in your amphibious transports and unload them. As soon as you
deploy your MCV, Lieutenant Eva will contact and brief you on the
Psychic Amplifier. Right after the transmission, a timer will start at
the right hand bottom screen. You now have fifty minutes before the
Psychic Amplifier is activated.
Another four amphibious transports will arrived with reinforcements on
board. Unload the GIs and the Grizzly Battle Tanks. Group them together
with your forces from the initial assault team.
Set up your base as usual and gather your forces and head north from
your base.
There should be a bridge and the Psychic Amplifier will be on an island
left of the bridge. Destroy all Soviet presence there and a group of
rocketeers will arrive from the east. Now that there aren't any anti-
aircraft defenses anymore, bring them over to destroy the Psychic
Amplifier. Use your ground troops as well to quicken the destruction.
Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission five: Operation Dark Night
Location: Polish/German border
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 9 minutes and 9 seconds
Rank: 1st Lieutenant
Briefing:
European forces still refuse to fight with us, fearing a Soviet nuclear
counterattack. We have discovered the location of their medium-range
missiles in Poland. Special agent Tanya has secretly crossed the Polish
border. You will direct her to destroy the Soviet Nuclear Missiles.
Objective 1: Infiltrate the Soviet Battle Lab.
Objective 2: Neutralize the 2 Soviet Nuclear Missile Silos.
Objective 3: Keep Tanya alive.
Walkthrough:
Send Tanya to kill the six Conscripts near the checkpoint and tell the
Spies to masquerade as the Tesla Troopers. Kill them with Tanya also.
Send Tanya following the road to the northeast and go left when she
reaches the intersection while killing off any Soviet troops that she
encountered (beware of guard dogs).
She will eventually stumble into the entrance to the Soviet compound.
Kill off all the soldiers in front and shoot the oil barrels next to
the Tesla Coil on the right. Go inside and kill all Soviet Conscripts
there. Send the Spy into the Soviet Battle Lab and the location of the
two nuclear missile silos will be revealed on the map.
Send another Spy to one of the Tesla Reactors and the power will be
shut down for one minute. Send Tanya to shoot the barrels to the north
to take out the Tesla Coils and don't forget to destroy the Tesla Coil
on the right side of the base also.
Shoot the barrels on the right side of the base; go through the hole
and up the cliff. Go to the southwest and you will find two Engineers
and some GIs near a downed plane. Use the two Engineers to capture a
Soviet War Factory and a Tesla Reactor. Build Rhino Heavy Tanks until
you run out of money and leave them there for now.
Additional note:
If you keep heading west (along the river) from the base northern
entrance, you will eventually find two crates. The left one will
upgrade unit's armor while the right one will heal your unit to maximum
health.
Tanya should go back and follow the road, kill off any Soviet troops
until you get to the entrance of the missile silos compound.
Backtrack a little to the bridge and head to the west. Shoot the
barrels near the compound's wall and gain entry inside. Shoot the
barrels near the first Missile Silo as well as those near the Tesla
Coils to the north. Simply walk up to the Missile Silo, chuck a C4
charge there and blow it to smithereens. One more to go!!!
Tell the Rhino Heavy Tanks to head west from Tanya's position and blow
the wall on the other missile silo compound. Blast your way in and
destroy the three Tesla Coils guarding the missile silo. Simply let
Tanya walk in there and C4 the silo. Mission accomplished!!!
Additional note:
You can free a group of GIs and a Grizzly Battle Tank to the west by
blowing up some barrels and you can group them up with the Rhino Heavy
Tanks when commencing the final assault.

Mission six: Operation Liberty
Location: Washington DC
Par time: 50 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
The Europeans have joined with us and the time has come to
counterattack. We will retake Washington DC and then we will retake the
rest of our nation from the Soviet scum.
Objective 1: Reinforce and assume command of Allied forces at the
Pentagon.
Objective 2: Destroy all Soviet forces in Washington.
Walkthrough:
Unload the amphibious transports northwest of the Pentagon and start to
set up your base immediately. Build a war factory ASAP and start mass
production of Grizzly Battle Tanks. Build two ore refineries and have 4
Chrono Miners harvesting to increase money flow.
The Prism Towers should be enough to destroy any Soviet assaults but
don't forget to repair them sometimes. Send your GIs to garrison the
buildings northwest of the Pentagon to ward off any Soviet sneak attack
from the north. For now, you should concentrate on building your
offensive troops.
Gather all those Grizzly Battle Tanks and crossed the bridge east of
the Pentagon and you should find a small Soviet base here. Destroy
every single units and structures here and go to the northeast.
Additional note:
Provide some aerial assault with at least eight Harriers (more would be
better).
Send three Engineers to repair the Jefferson Memorial (near the Soviet
base across the bridge), the Washington Monument (at the center of the
map), the Lincoln Memorial (northern edge of the map) and the White
House (northeast corner of the map). You will be rewarded with four
crates of money. Load the Engineers into a Night Hawk Transport and fly
along the map's edge to avoid being shot down by the Soviets anti-
aircraft defenses.
You should find a larger Soviet base near the center of the map.
Destroy everything as well but this time it will be harder as there are
several Tesla Coils guarding it. Destroy the Construction Yard first,
then quickly target the Tesla Coils followed by the War Factory,
Barracks and the Sentry Guns.
When you've cleared the area, go to the northeast edge of the map and
you should find another Soviet base. Apply the same strategy as before
and the base should be destroyed in no time. Mission accomplished!!!

Mission seven: Operation Deep Sea
Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Par time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
My time: 7 minutes and 42 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
The Soviets still cover most of the globe. We must continue to fight
them wherever they may be. A Soviet fleet has been discovered en route
to Hawaii. Destroy this fleet and the Pacific will be ours.
Objective 1: Destroy all Soviet forces.
Walkthrough:
Start training lots of rocketeers ASAP as Soviet fleet will commence
their first naval assault in a few moments. You will receive the
message that Soviet attack is imminent on the top left of the screen.
Bring your three Destroyers to the small channel east of your base and
position the two Aircraft Carriers behind them as support fire. The two
Aegis Cruisers should stay near your base and defend against any
incoming Soviet Dreadnought's missiles.
Tell the Destroyers to destroy the Submarines first then take out the
Dreadnoughts and deal with the Sea Scorpios lastly.
As soon as you have 5-10 rocketeers, send them to the northwest and you
will see the small American base there being decimated by the Soviet
Dreadnoughts.
Additional note: You may also transport an engineer to capture the Tech
Airport to the north. You will be able to drop paratroopers to help
defend your base.
Wait for the Amphibious Transports to unload and when you see the MCV,
use the rocketeers to destroy it. Kill all Soviet units nearby. Mission
accomplished!!!
Additional note: If you waited too long, the Soviets will start a ten
minutes nuclear missile countdown. So if you see the timer starting,
you better quickly assemble your navy and assault the Soviet base to
eliminate the nuclear threat.
***********************************************************************
Mission eight: Operation Free Gateway
Location: St Louis, Missouri
Par time: 1 hour
My time: 18 minutes and 16 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
Even as we cleanse America of Soviet forces, they continue to play with
their psychic technology, desperately hoping that their little toys
will destroy us. We have discovered a Psychic Beacon in St. Louis. Take
special agent Tanya in and destroy the beacon.
Objective 1: Destroy the Soviet Psychic Beacon.
Objective 2: Destroy all Soviet forces within St. Louis.
Objective 3: Don't get Tanya killed.
Walkthrough:
A twenty minutes timer will start and you have to destroy the Psychic
Beacon before the timer expires. Get Tanya and the team to get onto the
highway to the west and keep following it to the southwest.
When you get to near the Psychic Beacon, send Tanya to approach from
the north.
Tanya should blow up the oil barrels to the north (near the wall), get
inside and blow up the two Tesla Reactors. The power will be shut down.
Tanya should simply chuck a C4 on the Psychic Beacon.
Additional note:
Most of the map will be revealed now and the shrouded area in the
center is the Soviet base that you have to destroy.
Reinforcements should arrive from the southeast and they will
disembark. Lieutenant Eva will come online and brief you on Einstein's
new invention, the Prism Tank. The good news is that you have some of
them at your disposal. You will also be warned of the Soviet's
Desolators infantry unit.
Get Tanya and the strike team to go to your base.
Set up your base immediately and four more Prism Tanks should arrive
via water as additional reinforcement. Don't forget to grab the crate
nearby, which will bolster your income located just below the huge arch
north of your base.
Build a Battle Lab ASAP to start a mass production of the Prism Tanks.
When you have enough Prism Tanks, roll the tanks to the Soviet base and
kill everything in sight (watch out for Terror Drones!!!). When every
Soviet structures and units have been destroyed, the mission is
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission nine: Operation Sun Temple
Location: Tulum, Mexico
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 13 minutes and 31 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
The Soviets captured one of our west coast bases and with it one of our
Prism Towers. We believe they may be trying to replicate that
technology at a secret Soviet research facility in the Yucatan. A SEAL
strike team is standing by, Commander, awaiting your orders.
Objective 1: Capture or destroy any Soviet attempts to replicate our
Prism technology.
Objective 2: Eradicate the Soviet base defending their research site.
Walkthrough:
Send the SEALs to the small Soviet-occupied village to the west. Free
the imprisoned GIs as well as the two Grizzly Battle Tanks.
Lieutenant Eva will contact you, saying that the liberated freedom
fighters had reveal the location of the Soviet research facility for
you which you can see on the mini-map.
A Night Hawk Transport will arrive with five engineers on board and
they will disembark at the village.
Load one of the SEALs and two Engineers into the transport and unload
them south of the Soviet base. Get inside and kill the Soviet troops
around there. Shoot the oil barrels lying around and get the two
Engineers to capture a Tesla Reactor and a Mayan Pyramid.
Additional note:
The Mayan Pyramids are the Soviet version of the Prism Tower so you can
imagine what will happen next... ^_^ LOL!!!
Destroy every Soviet units and structures that can be reached and
transport another two Engineers and some more SEALs into the base.
There should be another Mayan Pyramid north of the first one.
Use the SEALs to protect the Engineers as they capture the Mayan
Pyramid and the Tesla Reactor next to it.
Next use the SEALs to lure as many Soviet units as possible to be
decimated by the Mayan Pyramids.
Use the SEALs again to C4 all the remaining Soviet buildings in the
base. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission ten: Operation Mirage
Location: Black Forest, Germany
Par time: 1 hour
My time: 18 minutes and 2 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
Desperate for some success, Soviet forces have counterattacked our
European allies in Germany, moving deep into the Black Forest. No doubt
their commanders hope that they will find and capture Einstein's
laboratory. Your special talents have been asked for. The Germans fear
they will be defeated without your strategic skills.
Objective 1: Ensure the safety of Professor Einstein's Laboratory.
Objective 2: Destroy all Soviet forces.
Walkthrough:
You will get transmission from Professor Einstein and he will brief you
on the new Mirage Tanks.
Start building an Ore Refinery and train twenty GIs in your Barracks
IMMEDIATELY. There is absolutely no time to lose!!! Deploy your MCV
behind the base and set up the Ore Refinery next to it. QUICKLY build
two Prism Towers and position them on both sides of your base.
Bring ALL your troops to the small German base to the northeast and
destroy the southern division of the Soviet assault. Proceed to the
north and destroy the center division. You should be able to eliminate
two of the Soviet bases when they just begin to deploy their MCV. Now
retreat back to your base.
Additional note: The Soviets will attack and they will attack hard with
LOTS of Conscripts, Rhino Heavy Tanks and V3 Rocket Launchers. The
Prism Towers should be able to handle them. Just use your tanks to
destroy the V3 Rocket Launchers as they are too far to be reached by
the Prism Towers.
When you have successfully repel the Soviet's initial assault, build a
Battle Lab followed by the Ore Purifier and the Spy Satellite Uplink.
Lieutenant Eva will contact and brief you about the Soviet's Apocalypse
Tanks.
Anyway, assemble a strike force consisted of LOTS and LOTS of Prism
Tanks ASAP.
The Soviets will assault you for a few more times but the Professor
will warn you of their positions so it should be easy to intercept
them.
Assemble all those Prism Tanks and attack the last Soviet base on the
north. This should be very easy to accomplish as the Prism Tanks can
take out those pesky Tesla Coils from a safe distance. When you have
destroyed every single Soviet units and structures, the mission will be
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission eleven: Operation Fallout
Location: Florida Keys
Par time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
My time: 28 minutes and 26 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
Einstein has found the perfect place for his Chronosphere.
Unfortunately this location is very close to Soviet-controlled Cuba.
Build the Chronosphere and clear the area of Soviet nuclear missiles.
We are nearly ready for our final attack on Moscow.
Objective 1: Build a Chronosphere.
Objective 2: Neutralize the Soviet nuclear threat on Cuba.
Walkthrough:
Lieutenant Eva will brief you about Giant Squids and Dolphins at the
beginning of the mission. Ignore the Giant Squid because there are
other matters to be taken care of.
Additional note: These following steps have to be done simultaneously.
There is no time to lose!!! Every second is precious here!!!
IMMEDIATELY group all the GIs in your base and tell them to deploy near
the bridge leading to the northeast. Train two SEALs and send one of
them to the southwest and position him near the Ore Refinery. The other
SEAL should stand by near the shore.
Train lots of GIs and garrisoned them in the two hotels east of your
base (next to the ore field).
Build a War Factory ASAP and pump out nine Prism Tanks.
Sell your Ore Refinery to the north because no matter what, you won't
be able to muster enough strike force to defend it.
The Soviets should make an amphibious landing to the southwest. Use the
SEAL there to kill the Conscripts quickly and the Prism Tower should
blow the Rhino Heavy Tanks to bits.
By now, Soviets Dreadnoughts should be launching their missile at your
base. Send the SEAL waiting near the shore to C4 the ships. Return him
to the shore when you're finished.
Build a Spy Satellite Uplink to reveal the map. Now is the time to set
up your offensive troops. Build a Chronosphere (a twenty minutes
countdown for nuclear missile will start after a transmission from
Premier Romanov) and when it's ready, chronoshift those Prism Tanks
that you build earlier to the southwestern edge of the map and blow up
the Nuclear Reactor there. QUICKLY order the Prism Tanks to head to the
western side of the Soviet base and destroy the oil barrels there. The
resulting explosion should destroy the Nuclear Reactor next to it.
The Soviets Apocalypse Tanks should come to destroy you. Ignore
everything and concentrate your attack on the left Nuclear Missile Silo
and the Construction Yard.
The nuclear countdown will come to a halt and you can just send in
waves of troops with Chronosphere and destroy the whole base. Or you
can just keep sending Harriers until all three Nuclear Missile Silos
are destroyed. The Premier will come online again and he will be so
angry that you managed to destroy his Missile Silos. Mission
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission twelve: Operation Chrono Storm
Location: Moscow
Par time: 1 hours and 30 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
The war is nearly at an end. A hand-picked group of volunteers will use
the Chronosphere to invade Moscow from across the world. Once you have
secured the Kremlin, Tanya will capture Romanov and put an end to
Soviet aggression. You are the only commander skilled enough to make
this work. Your forces will be outnumbered at least ten to one. Good
luck.
Objective 1: Clear the area so Chrono Reinforcements can arrive.
Objective 2: Eliminate Romanov's Elite Black Guard around the Kremlin.
Walkthrough:
Three SEALs will be parachuted and you will notice a twenty minutes
nuclear countdown and a ten minutes iron curtain countdown as well.
There is no room for error here so pay good attention to the
battlefield!!!
Use the SEALs to blow up the Tesla Reactor and kill nearby Soviet
troops. Tell them to free the GIs and Engineers also by shooting the
oil barrels. The Engineers should capture the Oil Derricks nearby to
increase money flow from the start (you will need it, trust me!!!)
Reinforcement will be chrono-shifted and you should deploy the MCV
inside the enclosure (where the Tesla Reactor used to be). Set up a
Barracks and train some Engineers to capture the two remaining Oil
Derricks.
Set up your base and more reinforcement will arrive via the
Chronosphere. Train GIs and fortify inside the four bunkers at the
gate. They are vital to your base survival.
By this time, the Soviets will send a Kirov Airship to destroy your
MCV. YOU MUST NOT LET THEM SUCCEED!!! Send all your Rocket IFVs to take
out this monster. They will also attack from the northwest with some
Rhino Heavy Tanks. Destroy them with your Grizzly Battle Tanks.
Additional note:
Set up the War Factory to the west of the Construction Yard and set up
another one to the east. There is nothing you can do to prevent the
initial nuclear launch because twenty minutes is too short for you to
build up enough forces to destroy the Nuclear Missile Silo so you
should try to minimize the damage instead.
Remember to spread all your buildings and the War Factory on the left
will be targeted every time so don't build any structures nearby.
When the nuclear missile destroys it, tank production should proceed at
the other War Factory and the production should not be bothered at all.
Expand your base to the northwest and station a few tanks there in case
the Soviets decided to sneak a few tanks there.
While your base is busy building this and that, group the three initial
SEAL team and tell them to go to northeast from your base. Blow up the
building and get into the water. Follow it all the way to the south and
keep heading south when you get to the place where there are two
Nuclear Reactors.
The SEALs should swim to the southern end of the water and climb out.
Go to the edge of the map where you can go into the Soviet base near
the entrance with three warehouses.
Sneak your way in and take note of the two Nuclear Reactors here as
well. Approach the Iron Curtain from behind and blow it up.
Use the two remaining SEALs to blow up the Nuclear Reactors located
east of the Kremlin.
Train a Chrono Legionnaire and send him to the west of the Nuclear
Missile Silo. Order him to "erase" the two Nuclear Reactors there and
the nuclear countdown will stop.
Build a Night Hawk Transport and load two Engineers in it. Fly to the
small island at the eastern edge of the map and capture the two Nuclear
Reactors there (the one that you swam past with the SEALs earlier).
Soviet units will occasionally attack your base, but the garrisoned GIs
should make short work of any enemy units. Just remember to repair the
bunkers when they are badly damaged.
Build the Chronosphere and Weather Control Station ASAP and start mass
production of Prism Tanks if you haven't already done that.
Build a Spy Satellite Uplink ASAP also and train a Spy. Try to
infiltrate him into the Soviets War Factory so all your produced
vehicles will become veteran units (that is cool!!! ^_^). Don't forget
to train another Spy and infiltrate him into the Soviets Barracks.
When the Chronosphere and Weather Control Station are both ready,
create a lightning storm at the Nuclear Missile Silo. The silo should
get badly damaged but not destroyed so before the Soviets can repair it
to full health again, chronoshift a group of Prism Tanks and blow it to
smithereens.
Now that you have nothing to worry about, try experimenting with the
Chrono Legionnaire and of course you may infiltrate your Spy to the
Soviets Battle Lab. You will be given the option to train the Psi
Commando. It is actually Yuri from the Soviets equipped with C4 charges
so it is nothing really new but feel free to experiment with it.
Now build LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of tanks and head to the Kremlin.
Eradicate everything in sight and destroy the Elite Black Guard
guarding the Kremlin. Enjoy the short but cool cut scene here and you
will be back in the game.
Tanya will disembark from an IFV and enter the Kremlin to capture
Premier Romanov. Mission accomplished!!!
Congratulations!!! This is the end of the Allied campaign. You have
saved America from the hands of the Red Army. Enjoy the ending!!! ^_^

It is your good fortune to be in the vanguard of the Soviet assault on
the United States. Lead your troops through Washington and destroy the
most hated symbol of American military power, the Pentagon.
Objective 1: Destroy the Pentagon.
Walkthrough:
Deploy your base and build a Barracks followed by an Ore Refinery.
Train an Engineer and tell him to wait there for now.
Gather all your Conscripts and head to the northeast. Kill the Allied
GIs blocking the road and keep going northwest. You should stumble upon
a small Allied base. More Conscripts will be parachuted to aid you in
destroying the small base.
Send the Engineer you had trained earlier to repair the bridge leading
to the northwest.
Send the Conscripts across the bridge and fortify them in the buildings
to take out the Pill-boxes. There are two crates on each side of the
buildings and both of them will increase unit's firepower. You should
find another Allied base and reinforcement will be parachuted into the
base. Use an Engineer to capture the Airport and kill off all the GIs
in here.
Another reinforcement will arrive with even more Engineers. Use them to
capture all the Allied buildings.
Cross another bridge to the northeast and take out all the GIs and
Pill-boxes guarding the Pentagon.
A really vast amount of Conscripts will be parachuted and you can use
their help to quicken the destruction of the Pentagon. Mission
accomplished!!!

Mission two: Operation Hostile Shore
Location: Florida Coast
Par time: 35 minutes
My time: 6 minutes and 21 seconds
Rank: Mladhiy Serzhant (Sergeant)
Briefing:
The Americans have foolishly gathered a fleet in a small harbor on the
eastern coast of Florida. Assisted by General Vladimir in his
Dreadnought, you will force a landing on the hostile shore and set up a
base. When ready, you will strike out against the capitalist pigs and
crush them under the iron heel of Soviet justice.
Objective 1: Force a landing and set up a base.
Objective 2: Destroy all enemy forces.
Walkthrough:
Destroy the Allied forces guarding the coast. Deploy your MCV when it
arrived and set up your base (do not deploy near the shore because the
Destroyers might be able to destroy your Construction Yard). Build lots
of Rhino Heavy Tanks and Submarines.
Reinforcement will be parachuted in and you will also receive a few
Submarines after you set up your base.
Send the Rhino Heavy Tanks to the southwest and pulverize the Allied
base there. The American Destroyers should come to destroy your Naval
Yard, send your Submarines to deal with them. Mission accomplished!!!

Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 18 minutes and 37 seconds
Rank: Starshiy Serzhant (Technical Sergeant)
Briefing:
In order to complete our psychic beacon, we will need to capture some
American technology. Lead your forces into New York and capture their
Battle Lab. Then build a Psychic Beacon to take control of the city.
Objective 1: Capture the American Battle Lab.
Objective 2: Build and defend a Psychic Beacon.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and Lieutenant Zofia will reveal the American Battle
Lab's location on the mini-map.
Yuri will contact you and four Psi-Corps Troopers will be parachuted in
for your disposal. Use their mind control ability to turn any Allied
units attacking your base to turn against their fellow friends.
Train three Engineers and capture the Oil Derricks to the south of your
base. Train some Conscripts as well and use them to guard to Oil
Derricks.
You might also want to build a couple Sentry Guns around your base.
Anyway, start a mass production of Rhino Heavy Tanks and roll them to
the northeast when you are ready.
You will find a small Allied base along the way, some GI-garrisoned
buildings and Pill-boxes on the road. Deal with them appropriately and
make your way to the Battle Lab. Shoot your way in and destroy the
Construction Yard so the buildings cannot be replaced again. Wipe out
the whole base and send in an Engineer to capture the Battle Lab.
Additional note: You may destroy the two skyscrapers next to the Battle
Lab for power up crates. The one on the right will promote a unit while
the left crate will heal the unit to maximum health.
Reinforcements will be parachuted in and a five minutes countdown will
commence at the bottom right screen. IMMEDIATELY build a Barracks
nearby and train lots of Flak Troopers. The Allied will throw
everything they have got at you so be prepared. Tanks will be
parachuted; waves and waves of GIs and rocketeers will try to destroy
the Psychic Beacon.
The Americans will also attack your base HEAVILY with Grizzly Battle
Tanks and IFVs. Your base should be able to hold out long enough.
Protect the beacon until the timer expires. All the American troops
will be under the mind control effect and the mission is
accomplished!!!

Mission four: Operation Home Front
Location: Vladivostok
Par time: 30 minutes

Briefing:
The foolish Koreans have decided to take sides with the failing Allies.
Their cowardly attempt to invade our Eastern territories will surely
fail. Defend the motherland and, when you are ready, push the Koreans
back into the ocean.
Objective 1: Establish a base. Defend the homeland.
Objective 2: Destroy all enemy forces.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and a 10 minutes timer will countdown before the
Allied begins their invasion.
Additional note: SPEED is the main objective here. You should be able
to complete this mission in less than fifteen minutes.
Build several Flak Cannons and put them around your Tesla Reactors so
any Korean Harriers brave enough to try to blow it up should meet a
disastrous fate.
Lieutenant Zofia will brief you on the Terror Drones and feel free to
train a few of them as well as mass-producing on Rhino Heavy Tanks.
Send a Conscript to scout out the eastern side of the map and build a
Radar Tower ASAP.
Build a few Submarines as well to repel the Korean Destroyers later.
Now when the timer expires, you should see several Korean Amphibious
Transports unloading their troops on the shore. The Korean commander
should contact and taunt you. Ignore him, as he doesn't know what
surprise he is going to get later.
Destroy the initial assault (consisted of Grizzly Battle Tanks and
GIs), which should be easy. You should have position your Rhino Heavy
Tanks near the lighthouse to the east (near the edge of the sea). As
soon as you see several Amphibious Transports arriving there, blast
them to bits and the Koreans won't even have the time to establish a
base. Rush your tanks to the east of your Naval Yard, as the remaining
Destroyers will attack there. Use your Submarines to sink the
Destroyers and your Rhino Heavy Tanks can pound at them from the shore.
Mission accomplished!!!

Briefing:
The European nations are planning to join with the crippled Americans.
We must not let this act of aggression go unpunished. You will lay
waste to their beautiful Paris. We will show the Allies the true
meaning of power by turning their own precious monuments into weapons
of mass destruction.
Objective 1: Energize the PARIS TOWER with 3 TESLA TROOPERS.
Objective 2: Defend the PARIS TOWER from Allied attack.
Objective 3: Defeat all remaining Allied troops.
Walkthrough:
Additional note: You will be introduced to the Crazy Ivan in this
mission but it is not necessary to use them to complete the mission.
Feel free to experiment with them though.
Start by garrisoning your Conscripts into the building to the north and
take out the Allied road blockade by shooting the oil barrels. Send the
rest of the Conscripts to the building to the west and take out the
deployed-GIs nearby.
Head left again and garrison your Conscripts in the buildings there to
take out the Allied troops guarding the Oil Derrick. When the area is
clear, send an Engineer to capture it.
Go slightly to the north and you will get a Flak Track as
reinforcement. Use it to destroy the oil barrel nearby. Tell the Falk
Track to circle around from the east and destroy the barrels on the
other side of the soccer field as well.
Now go north from the soccer field and head to the dock.
An Amphibious Transport will come to unload some Tesla Troopers. Head
to the northeast to attack the GIs on the left of the Eiffel Tower and
destroy the Allied by charging the Eiffel Tower and watch it become a
GIANT TESLA COIL!!! The Tesla electricity emitted from it should fry
all the Allied troops nearby.
Mop up the rest of the map if there are any Allied troops left. Mission
accomplished!!!

Mission six: Operation Sub-Divide
Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Par time: 45 minutes
My time: 21 minutes and 34 seconds
Rank: Starshiy Leytenant (1st Lieutenant)
Briefing:
The Americans are on their knees, begging for mercy. The last remnants
of their fleet at Pearl Harbor waits helplessly for your relentless
attack. However, we have news that the Koreans are not yet beaten and
may attempt to join up with the American Navy. They must not succeed.
Objective 1: Establish a base in the Hawaiian Islands.
Objective 2: Destroy the Allied Navy.
Walkthrough:
Two Amphibious Transports accompanied by three Submarines and two Aegis
Cruisers should enter the map and some Conscripts, Tesla Troopers,
Attack dogs and your MCV will be unloaded on the shore.
As soon as you set up your base, a 15 minutes timer will commence
before the Korean fleet arrives.
Build up LOTS of Submarines ASAP and station them northwest of your
base next to a small island with a small bunker on it. You may also
transport some Conscripts and garrison them inside the bunker (you will
be rewarded with a crate of money for this) because this is where the
Korean fleet will pass by later.
You will also receive three Dreadnoughts and some Aegis Cruisers as
reinforcement. Use the Aegis Cruisers to block any Allied Aircraft
Carriers and Destroyers later and leave the Dreadnoughts alone for now.
When three minutes were left, Lieutenant Zofia will contact and warn
you that if the Korean fleet manage to join up with the American, it
will be very difficult to destroy them.
Prepare your Submarines and they should be ready at their ambush place.
When the timer expires, the Korean fleet will arrive and you should be
able to destroy the whole fleet. Now prepare for an invasion to the
enemy base.
Gather all your Submarines and force an entry into the American base
located near the center of the map. You should be able to gain entry
into the water enclosure inside the American base quite easily. Blow up
the two Naval Yards there as well as any ships docked there. Mission
accomplished!!!
Additional note: Use the earlier three Dreadnoughts reinforcement to
take out any Prism Towers near the shore from a safe distance.
***********************************************************************
Mission seven: Operation Chrono Defense
Location: Ural Mountains, Russia
Par time: 30 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
The Americans have engaged their Chronosphere; a device that allows
them to move soldiers across great distances almost instantly. They can
now strike anywhere they wish. You must defend our Battle Lab in the
Ural mountains. The Americans will surely strike there soon in a
desperate but doomed attempt to shut down our development of the
ultimate battle tank.
Objective 1: Defend your Battle Lab at all costs.
Walkthrough:
First thing to do is to get four War-Miners to harvest ore so your cash
flow will be steady.
Build lots of Sentry Guns and Flak Cannons to defend your base.
You will receive transmission from Lieutenant Zofia saying that the
Americans tried to turn Soviet citizens against us with a propaganda
truck. Send your troops to the village at the western area and destroy
the truck. You will be rewarded with a crate to bolster your money.
Additional note:
Keep an eye to the road east of your base; at some point during the
game, there will be three Allied trucks passing by. Destroy them and
you will be rewarded with three crates. Two of them will bolster your
cash while the last one will increase unit's speed.
Place several Attack dogs next to your structures to sniff out any
Allied Spies, as they will try to infiltrate the Tesla Reactors and the
Radar Tower. They will usually try to shut down the power a few moments
before they attack so be prepared.
The main objective in this mission is to defend against waves of Allied
attackers until there are no more. Be patient and you will survive!!!
The map will be revealed and you should find three Oil Derricks and one
Tech Outpost to the east. Train four Engineers and capture all of them.
Build a couple Flak Cannons around the captured Tech Buildings.
Send your troops to the small Allied camp at the southeast and destroy
it. You should find two crates of money there.
Start a mass production of Rhino Heavy Tanks and disperse them to your
base entrances so you can defend against the American assault from
various positions at a time.
One last thing you should remember, most of the assault should be easy
to handle with the Sentry Guns and Tesla Coils (train some Tesla
Troopers to back them up) surrounding your base. However, be careful
when the Prism Tanks division arrived. They can destroy buildings
really fast, so the best way to counter them is to send your Apocalypse
Tanks and destroy them before they can reach your base.
You will be warned of the last Allied reinforcement, be prepared and
wipe them out. Mission accomplished!!!

Washington DC and dig Vladimir out of his wretched hole.
Objective 1: Capture the White House.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and a few moments later a plane will come to drop lots
of veteran Conscripts. Get a Desolator there and use his radiation gun.
Those Conscripts should be gone in no time.
Train several Conscripts and garrison them in the bunker east of your
base and the one near the ore field.
Send the rest of the troops to destroy the Lincoln Memorial to the
north and you will receive two crates. The left one will promote your
unit and the one on the right will bolster your cash.
Additional note: You might want to leave some Apocalypse Tanks in your
base as the enemy love to send some Rhino Heavy Tanks and V3 Rocket
Launchers to destroy your base so be prepared.
Start mass production of Apocalypse Tanks ASAP and go destroy the
Washington Monument to earn a money crate. Destroy the Soviet base
around the monument and destroy the Smithsonian Natural History Museum
to the southeast. You will be rewarded with two crates. The one on the
north will give you some cash and the bottom one will promote your
unit.
Destroy the Smithsonian Castle and you will be rewarded with two crates
again. The left one will increase unit's speed while the right one
contains some money.
Don't forget to destroy the Psychic Beacon nearby as well.
Send an Engineer to repair the bridge to the southwest (near the soccer
field) and you will gain access to the Jefferson Memorial. Destroy it
and enjoy the money crate left behind. Kill off all enemy units here
and the parked trucks as well.
The farthest truck on the left will leave a crate, which will promote
your unit. The two trucks next to it will leave crates that upgrade
unit speed and armor respectively. The three remaining trucks will
leave crates that will reveal the map, increase unit's firepower as
well as a promotion.
Wipe out the rest of the enemy forces in the area and send an Engineer
to capture the White House. Mission accomplished!!!

Mission nine: Operation The Fox and the Hound
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Par time: 30 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
Our victory is near at hand. The President as successfully eluded us,
but we have tracked him to a dirty little fort called 'The Alamo' in
San Antonio, Texas. You must use out Psi-Corps Troopers to mind control
the President and force him to surrender the United States.
Objective 1: Use Mind-Control to capture the President.
Walkthrough:
Use the three Psi-Corps Troopers to mind control the two GIs north of
your starting position who is guarding the Barracks and the Battle Lab.
Mind control the two Engineers nearby and use them to capture both
buildings.
Now send the Psi-Corps Troopers to the southeast (the small American
base) and mind control the sniper there. Use him to kill off all the
GIs there.
Mind control the Grizzly Battle Tank and use it to destroy the two
Pill-boxes.
Bring the sniper to kill all the units patrolling the perimeter of the
Fort. Take him to the north entrance of Fort Alamo and kill the SEALs
and the Attack dogs guarding it. Now train two Spies, put on a disguise
and infiltrate the Power Plant.
When the power is offline, use the sniper to kill the SEALs and the
Secret Service agents around the President.
Repeat the step again. When the power is off, bring in the Psi-Corps
Trooper to mind control the President. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission ten: Operation Weathered Alliance
Location: US Virgin Islands
Par time: 2 hours
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
In their final desperate hours, the Allies have managed to produce one
last bit of super-technology. They have a Weather Control Device which
they can use to create terrible storms that can sink fleets and level
cities. We believe they have hidden their doomsday weapon in the
isolated US Virgin Islands.
Objective 1: Capture the American Battle Lab to locate the Weather
Control Device.
Objective 2: Destroy the Weather Control Device.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and take your time. There's no rush this time because
the Americans won't attack excluding a few rocketeers now and then.
Additional note: Destroy the trees near your base to save space for
building more structures.
Build some Submarines and go destroy both Naval Yards near the American
shore.
Load up some Apocalypse Tanks into Amphibious Transports and unload
them on the beach to destroy the American base. Use Dreadnoughts to
take out the Prism Towers (be careful of SEALs with C4 charges).
Send and Engineer to capture the American Battle Lab and the Weather
Control Device location will be revealed at the northwest corner.
You should have built a Nuclear Missile Silo by now. Just launch the
missile to destroy the Weather Control Device. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission eleven: Operation Red Revolution
Location: Moscow
Par time: 1 hour and 45 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
Yuri has turned against us. There is only one answer for such treason.
Objective 1: Destroy Yuri's headquarters – The Kremlin.
Walkthrough:
Establish your base and gather all your initial forces to attack the
cliff to the northeast. Destroy the Tesla Coil, Flak Cannons and all
enemy units here.
Additional note: Capture an Oil Derrick north of your base (near the
ore field) to help with the cash flow. Station a few Apocalypse Tanks
to protect it from Yuri's Rhino Heavy Tanks.
Position your units on the cliff facing to the farm (southeast corner)
and they should be able to take out any attacking enemy units. Station
a Kirov Airship there to help.
Build five Flak Cannons north of your base and another five east for
your base. Now train lots of Flak Troopers and station them near the
Flak Cannons to the north and east. Then build a Nuclear Missile Silo.
As soon as you build it, Lieutenant Zofia will inform you that Yuri's
air armada is coming. He will send two Kirovs every time to destroy the
silo. Your Flak Cannons and Flak Troopers should be enough to stop
those monsters.
Just launch the nuke at the Kremlin twice and it will be destroyed.
Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission twelve: Operation Polar Storm
Location: Point Hope, Alaska
Par time: 2 hours and 20 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
We have found the last feeble Allied stronghold. Their Chronosphere,
now fully operational, can move soldiers anywhere in the world. They
can strike at us in New York, in Prague, even in Moscow. Yuri's files
show the device is located near Point Hope, Alaska. You must take what
few forces we have in the area and lead an attack, before the Allies
make use of their cowardly technology. This is the final hour,
commander. Glory awaits.
Objective 1: Destroy the Chronosphere.
Walkthrough:
Quickly establish your base and train several Conscripts. Lieutenant
Zofia will warn you of the Allied initial Chronosphere assault. Use
your Conscripts to destroy the Rocket IFVs chronoshifted into your
base.
Build a couple Flak Cannons around your base as well to ward off any
rocketeers. The Allied will be making frequent assault to your base
with rocketeers so be prepared.
Build a few Typhoon Submarines and send them to the northwest of your
base. The Allied dock should be revealed on the map, destroy the two
Naval Yards and any naval units guarding it.
Bring in some Apocalypse Tanks and Kirov Airships to decimate the base.
Capture the buildings with Engineers and build your War Factory there
and make it your primary building. Start mass production of Apocalypse
Tanks there and tell them to guard the War Factory because the Allied
will be chronoshifting troops from time to time to destroy your
foothold there.
Head to the northeast and destroy every single Allied units and
structures that you find. You will find three Kirov Airships near the
Tech Airport. Capture it with an Engineer if you want to. Otherwise
join up the Kirov Airships and the Apocalypse Tanks and go to the west.
Destroy everything that is in your way.
Make your way into the Allied base and destroy everything. You will
find the Chronosphere surrounded by LOTS of Prism Towers, Pill-boxes
and Patriot Missile Systems.
Additional note: Launching nuclear missile against the Chronosphere is
useless as it will not be destroyed, only damaged to half of its health
meter.
Due to the heavy defense in the base, your best chance to win is to
combine the Kirov Airships with the Apocalypse Tanks to smash through
the defense. Good luck!!! When the Chronosphere is destroyed, you will
see a spectacular cut scene and you will be back in the game. Mission
accomplished!!!
Congratulations!!! This is the end of the Soviet campaign. You have
just conquered the world under the command of Motherland Russia. Enjoy
the ending!!! ^_^

3. Game Overview
Red Alert 2 is one of the best RTS games ever created (in my opinion at
least). Everything was just amazing!!! The units and structures are
absolutely fantastic and equally balanced on both sides. The heart-
thumping music just adds to the excitement of the game whether you're
playing in the single player mode or battling other people online. And
on top of that, the cut scenes are absolutely superb which will engross
you deeper in the storyline...
This time, the story is set after the defeat of Josef Stalin to the
Allied forces almost twenty years ago in the original Red Alert. The
Allied installed a puppet leader, Premier Alexi Romanov, to lead the
Soviet Union and they thought that the world had finally come to know
peace...
However, Romanov had been craving a revenge for all this time and the
waiting time is over for the Motherland... He secretly builds up
stockpiles of weapons including the deadly nuclear missiles and the new
mind control device.
All of a sudden, NORAD picked up Soviet troops attacking America from
all sides and the invasion had begun. Soviet troops are deploying all
over America and all the major US cities fell one by one to be crushed
by the Soviets. Will the US be crushed under the aggressive communist
heels or will they emerge victoriously to repel the Soviets assault?
Only you will decide their fate in Red Alert 2!!!

5. Units and Structures
***********************************************************************
A. ALLIED UNITS
***********************************************************************
+++++Infantry+++++
GI
Cost: 200
Weapon: M60 heavy machine gun (deployed) and Parabellum pistol
(undeployed)
Strength: 125
Armor: None
Sight: 5
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, firepower and
rate of fire
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks
Tech Level: 1
GIs are the most basic infantry unit for the Allies. They are quite
weak but things will change when you deploy them by pressing D. They
will construct sandbags around themselves and their Parabellum pistol
will be upgraded to M60 heavy machine gun.
When they are deployed, their firepower will be increased as well as
the range thus making them quite a deadly opponent for the Soviets
Conscripts. The only drawback is that they cannot move at all during
deployment and tanks can still roll them over so be careful.
Engineer
Cost: 500
Weapon: Bomb defusing kit
Strength: 75
Armor: None
Sight: 4
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: Barracks
Tech Level: 1
Engineers can repair your damaged buildings back to full health again.
They also can repair destroyed bridges. Just order them to go into the
bridge hut and the bridge will be automatically repaired.
Not only that, you can also tell them to defuse Crazy Ivan's bombs by
targeting the affected units or structures.
However, the most useful feature is probably their ability to capture
buildings. Just order them to enter the intended building and it will
be yours straight away. They are also needed to capture neutral Tech
Buildings for your own benefits.
Rocketeer
Cost: 600
Weapon: 20mm mini machine-gun
Strength: 125
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: 9
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Air Force Command Headquarters
Tech Level: 3
These rocketeers come equipped with a jetpack aside from their 20mm
mini machine-gun, which enable them to hover on the battlefield. They
make very good air support, as ground units cannot attack them in any
way. They are very vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire though so keep them
out of harm's way.
Spy
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Make-up kit (disguise)
Strength: 100
Armor: Flak
Sight: 9
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 5
Spy is one of the most important units for the Allied. Spy's main
advantage is his ability to disguise himself. Send him to enemy
structures, which will usually give you some benefits. However, be
careful of Attack dogs, as they are the only units that can see through
the disguise. The following is a list of the benefits you get when you
infiltrate your Spy into enemy structures.
If a Spy infiltrate the enemy's...
War Factory: All the vehicles that you produce will have one stripe.
Barracks: All the infantries that you train will be veterans.
Ore Refinery: All the cash in the Ore Refinery will become yours.
Power Plant/Tesla Reactor: Enemy power supply shuts down temporarily.
Air Force Command Headquarters/Radar Tower: The shroud will be reset
for the enemy.
Battle Lab: Special infantries become available to be produced (see the
units section for more detailed info – Chrono Commando, Psi-Commando,
Chrono Ivan and Yuri Prime).
Superweapons: The countdown will be reset.
Tanya
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Dual pistols and C4 charges
Strength: 125
Armor: Flak
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, ability to scatter, increased sight, rate
of fire and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
Tanya can kill enemy infantries instantaneously with her dual pistols.
Not only that, she can also C4 enemy buildings, destroying them
instantly. She can also swim and you may use her to blow up enemy naval
units in the water. You can also destroy bridges instantly by ordering
her to C4 the bridge hut.
SEAL
Cost: 1000
Weapon: MP5 machine gun and C4 charges
Strength: 125
Armor: Flak
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, ability to scatter, increased
sight, rate of fire and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, faster, increased firepower and
rate of fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 1
SEALs are basically the "male" version of Tanya. Instead of pistols,
they come equipped with MP5 machine gun, which make them equally
dangerous to enemy infantries like Tanya. They are equipped with C4 and
they can swim also. However, the only difference is their shooting
range is a bit shorter than that of Tanya. Nevertheless, you will still
find them quite useful.
Attack dog
Cost: 200
Weapon: Teeth
Strength: 100
Armor: None
Sight: 9
Speed: 8
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, ability to scatter, increased
sight, rate of fire and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks
Tech Level: 2
These specially trained German Shepherds are very useful against
infantries. They are the only unit that can sniff out enemy Spies so
you might want to train a few to guard your key structures. They can
also kill infantries with one "hit". Basically they will jump and
sprang the targeted infantry, killing them instantly, including
deployed GIs.
Chrono Legionnaire
Cost: 1500
Weapon: Neutron rifle
Strength: 125
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: instantaneous teleportation
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Barracks and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 10
What is unique about them is that instead of walking around, they
teleports around the map. The only drawback is that the farther the
place is, the longer it will take him to "appear" in his new location.
They are very susceptible to enemy fire during this moment.
Their neutron rifle is very different from the rest of RA2 units as
instead of destroying the enemies, they simply erase them out of time.
The more powerful is the enemy, the longer will this process take. If
the Chrono Legionnaire is killed while erasing an enemy unit, the
partially erased unit will reappear.
Chrono Commando
Cost: 2000
Weapon: Chrono MP5 machine gun
Strength: 100
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower.
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire.
Prerequisite: infiltrate a Spy into an Allied Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
Psi-Commando
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Mind Control and C4 charges
Strength: 100
Armor: None
Sight: 8
Speed: 5
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: infiltrate a Spy into a Soviet Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
They have the same ability as Yuri from the Soviets. He can mind
control enemy units as well as create a psionic wave. Their only new
ability is that they are also equipped with C4 charges to blow
buildings up just like Tanya and the SEALs.
+++++Vehicles+++++
Grizzly Battle Tank
Cost: 700
Weapon: 105mm cannon
Strength: 300
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 8
Speed: 7
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory
Tech Level: 2
They are quite weak but you will find them useful en masse. However,
they are no match for the Soviets Rhino Heavy Tanks. This standard
Allied tank uses a 105mm cannon, which is considered very weak to be
able to penetrate the Soviet tanks heavy armor. The only way to use
them effectively is to support them with Prism and Mirage Tanks.
Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV)
Cost: 600
Weapon: Hover Missiles
Strength: 200
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 10
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory
Tech Level: 3
Mirage Tank
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Mirage gun
Strength: 200
Armor: Light
Sight: 9
Speed: 7
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 9
Mirage Tanks are quite weak but when they are not moving, they are
automatically disguised as a tree. This feature enables them to perform
sneak attack on the enemy. Just position them near some trees leading
to your base. When the enemy sends some troops to assault your base,
they will be in for a devastating surprise.
Mirage Tanks are especially useful against infantry units.
The only disadvantage is that they will be exposed for a brief movement
when firing thus alerting the enemy of their presence. Again, you
should support them with some Grizzly Battle Tanks and Prism Tanks with
the hope that the enemy's attention will be diverted for a while.
Prism Tank
Cost: 1200
Weapon: Comet laser beam
Strength: 150
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory and Battle Lab
Tech Level: 8
This is the most powerful Allied tank, as its deadly comet laser beam
will disperse from the target when hit, enabling it to hit other nearby
enemy units as well for lesser damage.
Set up the Prism Tanks and the Mirage Tanks for and ambush and you will
be guaranteed to blow the turrets off those Soviet tanks.
MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)
Cost: 3000
Weapon: None
Strength: 1000
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 6
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: War Factory and Service Depot
Tech Level: 10
This is the origin of your most important building, the Construction
Yard. Basically, you just have to deploy it by clicking D and it will
magically transform itself into a Construction Yard in one second.
When in multiplayer, if you create a game, you will be given the option
to enable "MCV Repacks" or not. If you choose to do so, you can order
the Construction Yard to transform back into an MCV thus letting you to
deploy it somewhere else.
Chrono Miner
Cost: 1400
Weapon: None
Strength: 1000
Armor: Medium
Sight: 4
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: War Factory and Ore Refinery
Tech Level: 1
Chrono Miner is the heart of your economy as its main and only purpose
is to harvest ore and transfer it into the Ore Refinery where it will
be converted into cash.
As its name suggests, the Chrono Miner has the ability to chronoshift
itself. When it is fully filled with ore, like the Chrono Legionnaire,
it will automatically teleports back to the Ore Refinery. This feature
usually allows the Allied to gain more cash than the Soviets within the
same time.
Harrier
Cost: 1200
Weapon: Maverick air-to-ground missiles
Strength: 150
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 14
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Air Force Command Headquarters
Tech Level: 3
These Harrier jets are useful against ground units. They are quite fast
and you will find yourself using them quite often for "hit and run"
mission into enemy base.
They are very vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire though so the best
method to use them is to bring in some tanks and disable the base's
anti-aircraft defense first.
The Harriers will be parked at the Air Force Command Headquarters and
there can only be four of them in a time. So if you want to have more
Harriers, you have to build additional Air Force Command Headquarters
as well.
Night Hawk Transport
Cost: 1000
Weapon: Black Hawk Cannon
Strength: 175
Armor: Light
Sight: 7
Speed: 14
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight and firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: War Factory
Tech Level: 7
These helicopters are designed specially to transport infantry units
quickly over the battlefield. One Night Hawk Transport can be filled up
to five infantry units.
It is also equipped with the Black Hawk Cannon, a small machine gun
mounted beneath the chopper's nose to defend itself from any minor
attacks.
Please note that they are very susceptible to anti-aircraft fire. If it
gets shot down, all the infantry units on board will be lost as well.
What is unique about them is that they are completely invisible to
enemy radar thus making your way back and forth from one place to
another should be a piece of cake.
Amphibious Transport
Cost: 900
Weapon: None
Strength: 300
Armor: Light
Sight: 6
Speed: 6
Veteran abilities: None
Elite abilities: None
Prerequisite: Naval Yard
Tech Level: 4
These specially designed hovercrafts are mainly used to transport units
and vehicles from one place to another in a short time. They can cross
over water also so they can be used to transport units from one island
to another. However, they have no weapons at all and the light armor
makes them very vulnerable to enemy fire.
Be warned that if an Amphibious Transport is destroyed, all the units
and vehicles on board will also be lost so take all the necessary
precautions to prevent that from happening.
Destroyer
Cost: 1000
Weapon: 155mm cannon and ASW helicopters
Strength: 600
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 7
Speed: 6
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Naval Yard
Tech Level: 4
The Destroyers are the most basic Allied naval unit, which had proven
its effectiveness in taking out submerged objects such as the Soviets
Submarines and Giant Squids.
Once an enemy is spotted, the Destroyer will launch its ASW helicopter
that will in turn fire its air-to-ground missiles to take out the
intended target. It will return to the Destroyer for reloading before
taking off again until the target is destroyed. If the ASW helicopter
is shot down, wait for a few moments and a replacement should be
provided to finish the job.
Destroyers are also equipped with 155mm cannon, which allow them to
bombard the enemy's shoreline base defenses as well as any buildings
nearby.
Aegis Cruiser
Cost: 1200
Weapon: Medusa ground-to-air missiles
Strength: 800
Armor: Light
Sight: 8
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and
firepower
Elite abilities: self heal, stronger, increased firepower and rate of
fire
Prerequisite: Naval Yard and Air Force Command Headquarters
Tech Level: 7
The Aegis Cruisers are specially intended to engage enemy air units as
well as any incoming missile attacks. Its Medusa ground-to-air missiles
are especially useful against the Soviets Dred rockets.
You might want to keep a few of them near your shoreline to guard
against any Soviets long-range Dreadnought attacks.
Aircraft Carrier
Cost: 2000 and 2500 (for Americans in multiplayer)
Weapon: Hornet jet planes
Strength: 800 and 1500 (for Americans in multiplayer)
Armor: Heavy
Sight: 7
Speed: 4
Veteran abilities: stronger, faster, increased sight, rate of fire and

These huge Aircraft Carriers are mainly used to destroy any surface
Soviet naval units. They attack by ordering the Hornet jet planes
parked on the deck to take off and destroy the intended target.
Similar to the Destroyer's ASW helicopters, the Hornets are unlimited
and if you lose one, another one will be ready to replace it. They also
have to reload by landing on the Aircraft Carrier before taking off
again a few seconds later to finish the job.
The only difference they have compared with the Destroyer is that
multiple Hornets can fly at a time instead of one as in the case of the
ASW helicopter.

Dolphins are probably the weakest naval unit in the Allied forces.
However, it does have some special characteristic that should be quite
appealing. Aside from being invisible in enemy's radar, they are also
cloaked thus enabling them to slip pass enemy naval units undetected.
Furthermore, Dolphins are the only unit who can release a ship when it
is grabbed by the Soviets Giant Squid. You have to attack the affected
ship and the Giant Squid will release its tentacles.
Dolphins attack with sonar waves, which made them very effective
against the Soviets Giant Squids and Submarines.

Prerequisite: None
Tech Level: 1
Construction Yard is the most vital building in your base. You can't
build any other structures without it. Protect this building at all
times and NEVER EVER let it be destroyed or captured if possible.
You can build another MCV later as you ascend through the tech tree but
it will cost time and money so it is not worth it at all except in real
emergency.
Power Plant

Strength: 750
Armor: Wood
Sight: 4
Power: 200
Prerequisite: Construction Yard
Tech Level: 1
Structures need power to be able to operate effectively and these Power
Plants will provide exactly that. The more structures you have, the
more Power Plants you will need to build to compensate for the power
loss. They are weak so keep them guarded at all times so that you won't
experience "blackout" in your base in case of an enemy attack.
Production will slow and defense system will went offline if your power
is not sufficient to sustain the base's output so keep that in mind.
Ore Refinery

Prerequisite: Construction Yard and Power Plant
Tech Level: 1
Your Chrono Miners will return here to unload the ore that they
harvested and it will be converted into cash immediately. Without this
structure, your base's economy is virtually crippled but nevertheless,
you can always build another one as long as your Construction Yard is
still standing.
Barracks

Prerequisite: Construction Yard and Power Plant
Tech Level: 2
All your infantry units from the most basic GI to the most advanced
Chrono Legionnaire will be trained here. Do not worry too much about
this building as you can easily replace it should it gets destroyed or
captured due to its low cost. You may also build several Barracks to
speed up the training rate.
War Factory

Most of your vehicles from the most basic Grizzly Battle Tanks to the
most advanced Prism Tanks will be produced there. You will want to keep
a closer eye on this building than the Barracks because it takes more
time and money to build. You may also build several War Factories to
speed the production rate.
Naval Shipyard

Prerequisite: Construction Yard, Power Plant and Ore Refinery
Tech Level: 4
All your naval units from the most basic Destroyers to the specially
equipped Dolphins will be produced here. This structure has to be
placed entirely in water and should be protected also.
Try not to lose it because naval battle is almost as important as
ground assault and you don't want the enemy to gain naval superiority
thus enabling the tide of battle to be turned quickly.

Engineers can repair your damaged buildings back to full health again.
They also can repair destroyed bridges. Just order them to go into the
bridge hut and the bridge will be automatically repaired.
Not only that, you can also tell them to defuse Crazy Ivan's bombs by
targeting the affected units or structures.
However, the most useful feature is probably their ability to capture
buildings. Just order them to enter the intended building and it will

This is the origin of your most important building, the Construction
Yard. Basically, you just have to deploy it by clicking D and it will
magically transform itself into a Construction Yard in one second.
When in multiplayer, if you create a game, you will be given the option
to enable "MCV Repacks" or not. If you choose to do so, you can order
the Construction Yard to transform back into an MCV thus letting you to
deploy it somewhere else.

War-Miner is the heart of your economy as its main and only purpose is
to harvest ore and transfer it into the Ore Refinery where it will be
converted into cash.
The only advantage it has is a machine gun mounted on top, which enable
it to defend against any hostile units. However, the machine gun is not
very powerful, making it quite useless against enemy tanks but still
useful against infantry units.

The sniper is equipped with a long-range sniper rifle thus enabling him
to gain tremendous range and power. Snipers can take out any infantry
units with one hit from a considerable distance away.
So it is always useful to let a few of them to tag along whenever you

Tech buildings have to be captured by Engineers first before you can
utilize them to your advantage.

When captured, you will have a new "paratroopers" option in your Armory
Tab. You can drop Paratroopers anywhere across the map (except on water
of course) after every few minutes. They are only useful for support
fire on enemy bases or to defend your own base as an aid to the
available defensive structures.
If you are playing on the Allied side, the Paratroopers will be GIs.
If you are playing on the Soviet side, the Paratroopers will be
Conscripts.
Hospital
Strength: 800
Armor: Concrete
Tech Level: 1
This building is not too useful as you can order your infantry units
here if you want to heal them to maximum health. That's the only
purpose it has. Why waste an Engineer to capture a pretty mush useless
building?
Outpost
Strength: 2000
Armor: Concrete
Tech Level: 1
This is another useless building as its purpose is only to serve as a
service depot. It is also equipped with some rockets to defend itself
but they are too weak to show any real difference when attacked.
However, due to the fact that it is usually located far from the base
and close to an ore field (sometimes), you may repair your Chrono or
War-Miners here if they get damaged.
Oil Derrick
Strength: 1000
Armor: Steel
Tech Level: 1
This is probably the most useful tech building. When captured, these
Oil Derricks will provide you with a steady flow of cash, which is
vital to your base's economy progress.

6. Walkthrough
!!!IMPORTANT!!!
?This walkthrough was based on playing in normal difficulty.
Playing easy difficulty would mean less aggression from the enemy and
they will seldom attack your base. The enemy's base defenses are not
that strong also. You are also given an excessive amount of par time.
Playing normal difficulty would mean more aggression from the enemy and
they will be commencing more frequent assault to your base. The bases
are usually moderately defended. Par times are shorter and will prove
to be quite challenging.
Playing hard difficulty would mean that the enemy will be very
aggressive and your base will be pounded from time to time with a
shorter interval between one assault and the next one. Enemy bases are
always heavily defended and you will need to assault it several times
before completely destroying it. Par times are very short and timing is
really crucial if you want to finish the mission under the time limit.
***********************************************************************
ALLIED CAMPAIGN
***********************************************************************
Mission one: Operation Lone Guardian
Location: New York
Par time: 10 minutes
My time: 5 minutes and 25 seconds
Rank: Staff Sergeant
Briefing:
The Soviets have invaded. They outnumber us ten to one. You must assist
special agent Tanya in New York. We are marshaling our forces as fast
as we can, Commander, but we need time. A small American base, Fort
Bradley, is in the New York area. If you can make contact, they may be
able to assist in the defense of New York. Tanya will be moving through
a chaotic battlefield. Keep your eye out for targets of opportunity and
watch for new mission objectives.
Objective 1: Destroy the Soviet Dreadnought Fleet.
Objective 2: Make contact with Fort Bradley.
Objective 3: Keep Tanya alive.
Objective 4: Destroy the Soviet supply base (given upon completing the
second objective).
Walkthrough:
Send Tanya to swim in the water and plant C4 charges in the four Soviet
Dreadnoughts. When they were sunk, climb onto the Liberty Island and
assist the GIs in thwarting Soviet paratroopers.
Go to the northwest and assist the GIs at the road intersection. Kill
off all the Soviet troops here. Follow the road to the northeast and
when you reach the McBurgerKong and the gas station, another group of
Soviet paratroopers will come. Kill them all and keep following the
road to the southeast. You'll get to Fort Bradley.
Additional note:
If you head north from Fort Bradley, you will find three veteran
Grizzly Battle Tanks. Bring them with you.
Lieutenant Eva will come online and congratulate you as well as giving
you a new mission objective, destroy a Soviet supply base to the south.
You'll also be warned of Soviet troops parachuting to the north. Wait
for them to come to the Fort Bradley and take them out with the Attack
dogs or just let the Pill-boxes do the job. From now on, Soviet
paratroopers will keep coming in a short interval of time. However,
they won't pose too much problem to your mission, as the Pill-boxes are
more than enough to handle them.
Build a barrack and train an engineer. Tell him to repair the bridge
leading to the Soviet base. Send Tanya to the Soviet base through the
back door and she should be safe from those sentry guns. Shoot the oil
barrels for quick destruction and C4 the remaining buildings.
There are two power up crates in the base (near the immobile V3 rocket
launcher). The left one will heal the unit to maximum health while the
right one will improve unit's speed.
Use the three Grizzly Battle Tanks to destroy the V3 rocket launchers
as well as blowing up the sentry guns in front of the base. Mission
accomplished!!!

Send them to the northeast (stick to the edge of the map) and find the
Psychic Beacon there. Tell them to attack it and you should be able to
deal a significant amount of damage before the four IFVs are destroyed.
Send the Harriers to the east and go north (stick to the edge of the
map) and approach the Psychic Beacon from the southeast.
Blow up the Psychic Beacon and a Night Hawk Transport will pick up the
President. Mission accomplished!!!
Additional note:
Send engineers to repair all the key structures across the map and you
will be rewarded with two crates for each structure that you repaired,
adding to a total of eight crates.
The four crates at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial
will bolster your cash.

Mission four: Operation Last Chance
Location: Chicago
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 10 minutes and 8 seconds
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant
Briefing:
Soviet forces continue to rampage across America. Our agents have
discovered a large Psychic Amplifier in Chicago. If activated, this
device will allow the Soviets to mind control all of North America.
Objective 1: Force a shore landing and establish a base.
Objective 2: Destroy the Psychic Amplifier before it comes online.
Walkthrough:
Wait for the rocketeers to take out the Grand Cannons first then tell
your Destroyers to move in and destroy every single Soviet units and
structures near the shore. Be careful of submarines lurking in the
water!!!
Move in your amphibious transports and unload them. As soon as you
deploy your MCV, Lieutenant Eva will contact and brief you on the
Psychic Amplifier. Right after the transmission, a timer will start at
the right hand bottom screen. You now have fifty minutes before the
Psychic Amplifier is activated.
Another four amphibious transports will arrived with reinforcements on
board. Unload the GIs and the Grizzly Battle Tanks. Group them together
with your forces from the initial assault team.
Set up your base as usual and gather your forces and head north from
your base.
There should be a bridge and the Psychic Amplifier will be on an island
left of the bridge. Destroy all Soviet presence there and a group of
rocketeers will arrive from the east. Now that there aren't any anti-
aircraft defenses anymore, bring them over to destroy the Psychic
Amplifier. Use your ground troops as well to quicken the destruction.
Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission five: Operation Dark Night
Location: Polish/German border
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 9 minutes and 9 seconds
Rank: 1st Lieutenant
Briefing:
European forces still refuse to fight with us, fearing a Soviet nuclear
counterattack. We have discovered the location of their medium-range
missiles in Poland. Special agent Tanya has secretly crossed the Polish
border. You will direct her to destroy the Soviet Nuclear Missiles.
Objective 1: Infiltrate the Soviet Battle Lab.
Objective 2: Neutralize the 2 Soviet Nuclear Missile Silos.
Objective 3: Keep Tanya alive.
Walkthrough:
Send Tanya to kill the six Conscripts near the checkpoint and tell the
Spies to masquerade as the Tesla Troopers. Kill them with Tanya also.
Send Tanya following the road to the northeast and go left when she
reaches the intersection while killing off any Soviet troops that she
encountered (beware of guard dogs).
She will eventually stumble into the entrance to the Soviet compound.
Kill off all the soldiers in front and shoot the oil barrels next to
the Tesla Coil on the right. Go inside and kill all Soviet Conscripts
there. Send the Spy into the Soviet Battle Lab and the location of the
two nuclear missile silos will be revealed on the map.
Send another Spy to one of the Tesla Reactors and the power will be
shut down for one minute. Send Tanya to shoot the barrels to the north
to take out the Tesla Coils and don't forget to destroy the Tesla Coil
on the right side of the base also.
Shoot the barrels on the right side of the base; go through the hole
and up the cliff. Go to the southwest and you will find two Engineers
and some GIs near a downed plane. Use the two Engineers to capture a
Soviet War Factory and a Tesla Reactor. Build Rhino Heavy Tanks until
you run out of money and leave them there for now.
Additional note:
If you keep heading west (along the river) from the base northern
entrance, you will eventually find two crates. The left one will
upgrade unit's armor while the right one will heal your unit to maximum
health.
Tanya should go back and follow the road, kill off any Soviet troops
until you get to the entrance of the missile silos compound.
Backtrack a little to the bridge and head to the west. Shoot the
barrels near the compound's wall and gain entry inside. Shoot the
barrels near the first Missile Silo as well as those near the Tesla
Coils to the north. Simply walk up to the Missile Silo, chuck a C4
charge there and blow it to smithereens. One more to go!!!
Tell the Rhino Heavy Tanks to head west from Tanya's position and blow
the wall on the other missile silo compound. Blast your way in and
destroy the three Tesla Coils guarding the missile silo. Simply let
Tanya walk in there and C4 the silo. Mission accomplished!!!
Additional note:
You can free a group of GIs and a Grizzly Battle Tank to the west by
blowing up some barrels and you can group them up with the Rhino Heavy
Tanks when commencing the final assault.
***********************************************************************
Mission six: Operation Liberty
Location: Washington DC
Par time: 50 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
The Europeans have joined with us and the time has come to
counterattack. We will retake Washington DC and then we will retake the
rest of our nation from the Soviet scum.
Objective 1: Reinforce and assume command of Allied forces at the
Pentagon.
Objective 2: Destroy all Soviet forces in Washington.
Walkthrough:
Unload the amphibious transports northwest of the Pentagon and start to
set up your base immediately. Build a war factory ASAP and start mass
production of Grizzly Battle Tanks. Build two ore refineries and have 4
Chrono Miners harvesting to increase money flow.
The Prism Towers should be enough to destroy any Soviet assaults but
don't forget to repair them sometimes. Send your GIs to garrison the
buildings northwest of the Pentagon to ward off any Soviet sneak attack
from the north. For now, you should concentrate on building your
offensive troops.
Gather all those Grizzly Battle Tanks and crossed the bridge east of
the Pentagon and you should find a small Soviet base here. Destroy
every single units and structures here and go to the northeast.
Additional note:
Provide some aerial assault with at least eight Harriers (more would be
better).
Send three Engineers to repair the Jefferson Memorial (near the Soviet
base across the bridge), the Washington Monument (at the center of the
map), the Lincoln Memorial (northern edge of the map) and the White
House (northeast corner of the map). You will be rewarded with four
crates of money. Load the Engineers into a Night Hawk Transport and fly
along the map's edge to avoid being shot down by the Soviets anti-
aircraft defenses.
You should find a larger Soviet base near the center of the map.
Destroy everything as well but this time it will be harder as there are
several Tesla Coils guarding it. Destroy the Construction Yard first,
then quickly target the Tesla Coils followed by the War Factory,
Barracks and the Sentry Guns.
When you've cleared the area, go to the northeast edge of the map and
you should find another Soviet base. Apply the same strategy as before
and the base should be destroyed in no time. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission seven: Operation Deep Sea
Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Par time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
My time: 7 minutes and 42 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
The Soviets still cover most of the globe. We must continue to fight
them wherever they may be. A Soviet fleet has been discovered en route
to Hawaii. Destroy this fleet and the Pacific will be ours.
Objective 1: Destroy all Soviet forces.
Walkthrough:
Start training lots of rocketeers ASAP as Soviet fleet will commence
their first naval assault in a few moments. You will receive the
message that Soviet attack is imminent on the top left of the screen.
Bring your three Destroyers to the small channel east of your base and
position the two Aircraft Carriers behind them as support fire. The two
Aegis Cruisers should stay near your base and defend against any
incoming Soviet Dreadnought's missiles.
Tell the Destroyers to destroy the Submarines first then take out the
Dreadnoughts and deal with the Sea Scorpios lastly.
As soon as you have 5-10 rocketeers, send them to the northwest and you
will see the small American base there being decimated by the Soviet
Dreadnoughts.
Additional note: You may also transport an engineer to capture the Tech
Airport to the north. You will be able to drop paratroopers to help
defend your base.
Wait for the Amphibious Transports to unload and when you see the MCV,
use the rocketeers to destroy it. Kill all Soviet units nearby. Mission
accomplished!!!
Additional note: If you waited too long, the Soviets will start a ten
minutes nuclear missile countdown. So if you see the timer starting,
you better quickly assemble your navy and assault the Soviet base to
eliminate the nuclear threat.
***********************************************************************
Mission eight: Operation Free Gateway
Location: St Louis, Missouri
Par time: 1 hour
My time: 18 minutes and 16 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
Even as we cleanse America of Soviet forces, they continue to play with
their psychic technology, desperately hoping that their little toys
will destroy us. We have discovered a Psychic Beacon in St. Louis. Take
special agent Tanya in and destroy the beacon.
Objective 1: Destroy the Soviet Psychic Beacon.
Objective 2: Destroy all Soviet forces within St. Louis.
Objective 3: Don't get Tanya killed.
Walkthrough:
A twenty minutes timer will start and you have to destroy the Psychic
Beacon before the timer expires. Get Tanya and the team to get onto the
highway to the west and keep following it to the southwest.
When you get to near the Psychic Beacon, send Tanya to approach from
the north.
Tanya should blow up the oil barrels to the north (near the wall), get
inside and blow up the two Tesla Reactors. The power will be shut down.
Tanya should simply chuck a C4 on the Psychic Beacon.
Additional note:
Most of the map will be revealed now and the shrouded area in the
center is the Soviet base that you have to destroy.
Reinforcements should arrive from the southeast and they will
disembark. Lieutenant Eva will come online and brief you on Einstein's
new invention, the Prism Tank. The good news is that you have some of
them at your disposal. You will also be warned of the Soviet's
Desolators infantry unit.
Get Tanya and the strike team to go to your base.
Set up your base immediately and four more Prism Tanks should arrive
via water as additional reinforcement. Don't forget to grab the crate
nearby, which will bolster your income located just below the huge arch
north of your base.
Build a Battle Lab ASAP to start a mass production of the Prism Tanks.
When you have enough Prism Tanks, roll the tanks to the Soviet base and
kill everything in sight (watch out for Terror Drones!!!). When every
Soviet structures and units have been destroyed, the mission is
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission nine: Operation Sun Temple
Location: Tulum, Mexico
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 13 minutes and 31 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
The Soviets captured one of our west coast bases and with it one of our
Prism Towers. We believe they may be trying to replicate that
technology at a secret Soviet research facility in the Yucatan. A SEAL
strike team is standing by, Commander, awaiting your orders.
Objective 1: Capture or destroy any Soviet attempts to replicate our
Prism technology.
Objective 2: Eradicate the Soviet base defending their research site.
Walkthrough:
Send the SEALs to the small Soviet-occupied village to the west. Free
the imprisoned GIs as well as the two Grizzly Battle Tanks.
Lieutenant Eva will contact you, saying that the liberated freedom
fighters had reveal the location of the Soviet research facility for
you which you can see on the mini-map.
A Night Hawk Transport will arrive with five engineers on board and
they will disembark at the village.
Load one of the SEALs and two Engineers into the transport and unload
them south of the Soviet base. Get inside and kill the Soviet troops
around there. Shoot the oil barrels lying around and get the two
Engineers to capture a Tesla Reactor and a Mayan Pyramid.
Additional note:
The Mayan Pyramids are the Soviet version of the Prism Tower so you can
imagine what will happen next... ^_^ LOL!!!
Destroy every Soviet units and structures that can be reached and
transport another two Engineers and some more SEALs into the base.
There should be another Mayan Pyramid north of the first one.
Use the SEALs to protect the Engineers as they capture the Mayan
Pyramid and the Tesla Reactor next to it.
Next use the SEALs to lure as many Soviet units as possible to be
decimated by the Mayan Pyramids.
Use the SEALs again to C4 all the remaining Soviet buildings in the
base. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission ten: Operation Mirage
Location: Black Forest, Germany
Par time: 1 hour
My time: 18 minutes and 2 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
Desperate for some success, Soviet forces have counterattacked our
European allies in Germany, moving deep into the Black Forest. No doubt
their commanders hope that they will find and capture Einstein's
laboratory. Your special talents have been asked for. The Germans fear
they will be defeated without your strategic skills.
Objective 1: Ensure the safety of Professor Einstein's Laboratory.
Objective 2: Destroy all Soviet forces.
Walkthrough:
You will get transmission from Professor Einstein and he will brief you
on the new Mirage Tanks.
Start building an Ore Refinery and train twenty GIs in your Barracks
IMMEDIATELY. There is absolutely no time to lose!!! Deploy your MCV
behind the base and set up the Ore Refinery next to it. QUICKLY build
two Prism Towers and position them on both sides of your base.
Bring ALL your troops to the small German base to the northeast and
destroy the southern division of the Soviet assault. Proceed to the
north and destroy the center division. You should be able to eliminate
two of the Soviet bases when they just begin to deploy their MCV. Now
retreat back to your base.
Additional note: The Soviets will attack and they will attack hard with
LOTS of Conscripts, Rhino Heavy Tanks and V3 Rocket Launchers. The
Prism Towers should be able to handle them. Just use your tanks to
destroy the V3 Rocket Launchers as they are too far to be reached by
the Prism Towers.
When you have successfully repel the Soviet's initial assault, build a
Battle Lab followed by the Ore Purifier and the Spy Satellite Uplink.
Lieutenant Eva will contact and brief you about the Soviet's Apocalypse
Tanks.
Anyway, assemble a strike force consisted of LOTS and LOTS of Prism
Tanks ASAP.
The Soviets will assault you for a few more times but the Professor
will warn you of their positions so it should be easy to intercept
them.
Assemble all those Prism Tanks and attack the last Soviet base on the
north. This should be very easy to accomplish as the Prism Tanks can
take out those pesky Tesla Coils from a safe distance. When you have
destroyed every single Soviet units and structures, the mission will be
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission eleven: Operation Fallout
Location: Florida Keys
Par time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
My time: 28 minutes and 26 seconds
Rank:
Briefing:
Einstein has found the perfect place for his Chronosphere.
Unfortunately this location is very close to Soviet-controlled Cuba.
Build the Chronosphere and clear the area of Soviet nuclear missiles.
We are nearly ready for our final attack on Moscow.
Objective 1: Build a Chronosphere.
Objective 2: Neutralize the Soviet nuclear threat on Cuba.
Walkthrough:
Lieutenant Eva will brief you about Giant Squids and Dolphins at the
beginning of the mission. Ignore the Giant Squid because there are
other matters to be taken care of.
Additional note: These following steps have to be done simultaneously.
There is no time to lose!!! Every second is precious here!!!
IMMEDIATELY group all the GIs in your base and tell them to deploy near
the bridge leading to the northeast. Train two SEALs and send one of
them to the southwest and position him near the Ore Refinery. The other
SEAL should stand by near the shore.
Train lots of GIs and garrisoned them in the two hotels east of your
base (next to the ore field).
Build a War Factory ASAP and pump out nine Prism Tanks.
Sell your Ore Refinery to the north because no matter what, you won't
be able to muster enough strike force to defend it.
The Soviets should make an amphibious landing to the southwest. Use the
SEAL there to kill the Conscripts quickly and the Prism Tower should
blow the Rhino Heavy Tanks to bits.
By now, Soviets Dreadnoughts should be launching their missile at your
base. Send the SEAL waiting near the shore to C4 the ships. Return him
to the shore when you're finished.
Build a Spy Satellite Uplink to reveal the map. Now is the time to set
up your offensive troops. Build a Chronosphere (a twenty minutes
countdown for nuclear missile will start after a transmission from
Premier Romanov) and when it's ready, chronoshift those Prism Tanks
that you build earlier to the southwestern edge of the map and blow up
the Nuclear Reactor there. QUICKLY order the Prism Tanks to head to the
western side of the Soviet base and destroy the oil barrels there. The
resulting explosion should destroy the Nuclear Reactor next to it.
The Soviets Apocalypse Tanks should come to destroy you. Ignore
everything and concentrate your attack on the left Nuclear Missile Silo
and the Construction Yard.
The nuclear countdown will come to a halt and you can just send in
waves of troops with Chronosphere and destroy the whole base. Or you
can just keep sending Harriers until all three Nuclear Missile Silos
are destroyed. The Premier will come online again and he will be so
angry that you managed to destroy his Missile Silos. Mission
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission twelve: Operation Chrono Storm
Location: Moscow
Par time: 1 hours and 30 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
The war is nearly at an end. A hand-picked group of volunteers will use
the Chronosphere to invade Moscow from across the world. Once you have
secured the Kremlin, Tanya will capture Romanov and put an end to
Soviet aggression. You are the only commander skilled enough to make
this work. Your forces will be outnumbered at least ten to one. Good
luck.
Objective 1: Clear the area so Chrono Reinforcements can arrive.
Objective 2: Eliminate Romanov's Elite Black Guard around the Kremlin.
Walkthrough:
Three SEALs will be parachuted and you will notice a twenty minutes
nuclear countdown and a ten minutes iron curtain countdown as well.
There is no room for error here so pay good attention to the
battlefield!!!
Use the SEALs to blow up the Tesla Reactor and kill nearby Soviet
troops. Tell them to free the GIs and Engineers also by shooting the
oil barrels. The Engineers should capture the Oil Derricks nearby to
increase money flow from the start (you will need it, trust me!!!)
Reinforcement will be chrono-shifted and you should deploy the MCV
inside the enclosure (where the Tesla Reactor used to be). Set up a
Barracks and train some Engineers to capture the two remaining Oil
Derricks.
Set up your base and more reinforcement will arrive via the
Chronosphere. Train GIs and fortify inside the four bunkers at the
gate. They are vital to your base survival.
By this time, the Soviets will send a Kirov Airship to destroy your
MCV. YOU MUST NOT LET THEM SUCCEED!!! Send all your Rocket IFVs to take
out this monster. They will also attack from the northwest with some
Rhino Heavy Tanks. Destroy them with your Grizzly Battle Tanks.
Additional note:
Set up the War Factory to the west of the Construction Yard and set up
another one to the east. There is nothing you can do to prevent the
initial nuclear launch because twenty minutes is too short for you to
build up enough forces to destroy the Nuclear Missile Silo so you
should try to minimize the damage instead.
Remember to spread all your buildings and the War Factory on the left
will be targeted every time so don't build any structures nearby.
When the nuclear missile destroys it, tank production should proceed at
the other War Factory and the production should not be bothered at all.
Expand your base to the northwest and station a few tanks there in case
the Soviets decided to sneak a few tanks there.
While your base is busy building this and that, group the three initial
SEAL team and tell them to go to northeast from your base. Blow up the
building and get into the water. Follow it all the way to the south and
keep heading south when you get to the place where there are two
Nuclear Reactors.
The SEALs should swim to the southern end of the water and climb out.
Go to the edge of the map where you can go into the Soviet base near
the entrance with three warehouses.
Sneak your way in and take note of the two Nuclear Reactors here as
well. Approach the Iron Curtain from behind and blow it up.
Use the two remaining SEALs to blow up the Nuclear Reactors located
east of the Kremlin.
Train a Chrono Legionnaire and send him to the west of the Nuclear
Missile Silo. Order him to "erase" the two Nuclear Reactors there and
the nuclear countdown will stop.
Build a Night Hawk Transport and load two Engineers in it. Fly to the
small island at the eastern edge of the map and capture the two Nuclear
Reactors there (the one that you swam past with the SEALs earlier).
Soviet units will occasionally attack your base, but the garrisoned GIs
should make short work of any enemy units. Just remember to repair the
bunkers when they are badly damaged.
Build the Chronosphere and Weather Control Station ASAP and start mass
production of Prism Tanks if you haven't already done that.
Build a Spy Satellite Uplink ASAP also and train a Spy. Try to
infiltrate him into the Soviets War Factory so all your produced
vehicles will become veteran units (that is cool!!! ^_^). Don't forget
to train another Spy and infiltrate him into the Soviets Barracks.
When the Chronosphere and Weather Control Station are both ready,
create a lightning storm at the Nuclear Missile Silo. The silo should
get badly damaged but not destroyed so before the Soviets can repair it
to full health again, chronoshift a group of Prism Tanks and blow it to
smithereens.
Now that you have nothing to worry about, try experimenting with the
Chrono Legionnaire and of course you may infiltrate your Spy to the
Soviets Battle Lab. You will be given the option to train the Psi
Commando. It is actually Yuri from the Soviets equipped with C4 charges
so it is nothing really new but feel free to experiment with it.
Now build LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of tanks and head to the Kremlin.
Eradicate everything in sight and destroy the Elite Black Guard
guarding the Kremlin. Enjoy the short but cool cut scene here and you
will be back in the game.
Tanya will disembark from an IFV and enter the Kremlin to capture
Premier Romanov. Mission accomplished!!!
Congratulations!!! This is the end of the Allied campaign. You have
saved America from the hands of the Red Army. Enjoy the ending!!! ^_^

Briefing:
The Americans have foolishly gathered a fleet in a small harbor on the
eastern coast of Florida. Assisted by General Vladimir in his
Dreadnought, you will force a landing on the hostile shore and set up a
base. When ready, you will strike out against the capitalist pigs and
crush them under the iron heel of Soviet justice.
Objective 1: Force a landing and set up a base.
Objective 2: Destroy all enemy forces.
Walkthrough:
Destroy the Allied forces guarding the coast. Deploy your MCV when it
arrived and set up your base (do not deploy near the shore because the
Destroyers might be able to destroy your Construction Yard). Build lots
of Rhino Heavy Tanks and Submarines.
Reinforcement will be parachuted in and you will also receive a few
Submarines after you set up your base.
Send the Rhino Heavy Tanks to the southwest and pulverize the Allied

In order to complete our psychic beacon, we will need to capture some
American technology. Lead your forces into New York and capture their
Battle Lab. Then build a Psychic Beacon to take control of the city.
Objective 1: Capture the American Battle Lab.
Objective 2: Build and defend a Psychic Beacon.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and Lieutenant Zofia will reveal the American Battle
Lab's location on the mini-map.
Yuri will contact you and four Psi-Corps Troopers will be parachuted in
for your disposal. Use their mind control ability to turn any Allied
units attacking your base to turn against their fellow friends.
Train three Engineers and capture the Oil Derricks to the south of your
base. Train some Conscripts as well and use them to guard to Oil
Derricks.
You might also want to build a couple Sentry Guns around your base.
Anyway, start a mass production of Rhino Heavy Tanks and roll them to
the northeast when you are ready.
You will find a small Allied base along the way, some GI-garrisoned
buildings and Pill-boxes on the road. Deal with them appropriately and
make your way to the Battle Lab. Shoot your way in and destroy the
Construction Yard so the buildings cannot be replaced again. Wipe out
the whole base and send in an Engineer to capture the Battle Lab.
Additional note: You may destroy the two skyscrapers next to the Battle
Lab for power up crates. The one on the right will promote a unit while
the left crate will heal the unit to maximum health.
Reinforcements will be parachuted in and a five minutes countdown will
commence at the bottom right screen. IMMEDIATELY build a Barracks
nearby and train lots of Flak Troopers. The Allied will throw
everything they have got at you so be prepared. Tanks will be
parachuted; waves and waves of GIs and rocketeers will try to destroy
the Psychic Beacon.
The Americans will also attack your base HEAVILY with Grizzly Battle
Tanks and IFVs. Your base should be able to hold out long enough.
Protect the beacon until the timer expires. All the American troops
will be under the mind control effect and the mission is
accomplished!!!

Mission four: Operation Home Front
Location: Vladivostok
Par time: 30 minutes
My time: 12 minutes
Rank: Starshina (Master Sergeant)
Briefing:
The foolish Koreans have decided to take sides with the failing Allies.
Their cowardly attempt to invade our Eastern territories will surely
fail. Defend the motherland and, when you are ready, push the Koreans
back into the ocean.
Objective 1: Establish a base. Defend the homeland.
Objective 2: Destroy all enemy forces.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and a 10 minutes timer will countdown before the
Allied begins their invasion.
Additional note: SPEED is the main objective here. You should be able
to complete this mission in less than fifteen minutes.
Build several Flak Cannons and put them around your Tesla Reactors so
any Korean Harriers brave enough to try to blow it up should meet a
disastrous fate.
Lieutenant Zofia will brief you on the Terror Drones and feel free to
train a few of them as well as mass-producing on Rhino Heavy Tanks.
Send a Conscript to scout out the eastern side of the map and build a
Radar Tower ASAP.
Build a few Submarines as well to repel the Korean Destroyers later.
Now when the timer expires, you should see several Korean Amphibious
Transports unloading their troops on the shore. The Korean commander
should contact and taunt you. Ignore him, as he doesn't know what
surprise he is going to get later.
Destroy the initial assault (consisted of Grizzly Battle Tanks and
GIs), which should be easy. You should have position your Rhino Heavy
Tanks near the lighthouse to the east (near the edge of the sea). As
soon as you see several Amphibious Transports arriving there, blast
them to bits and the Koreans won't even have the time to establish a
base. Rush your tanks to the east of your Naval Yard, as the remaining
Destroyers will attack there. Use your Submarines to sink the
Destroyers and your Rhino Heavy Tanks can pound at them from the shore.
Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission 5: Operation City of Lights
Location: Paris, France
Par time: 20 minutes
My time: 5 minutes and 37 seconds
Rank: Mladshiy Leytenant (Sergeant Major)
Briefing:
The European nations are planning to join with the crippled Americans.
We must not let this act of aggression go unpunished. You will lay
waste to their beautiful Paris. We will show the Allies the true
meaning of power by turning their own precious monuments into weapons
of mass destruction.
Objective 1: Energize the PARIS TOWER with 3 TESLA TROOPERS.
Objective 2: Defend the PARIS TOWER from Allied attack.
Objective 3: Defeat all remaining Allied troops.
Walkthrough:
Additional note: You will be introduced to the Crazy Ivan in this
mission but it is not necessary to use them to complete the mission.
Feel free to experiment with them though.
Start by garrisoning your Conscripts into the building to the north and
take out the Allied road blockade by shooting the oil barrels. Send the
rest of the Conscripts to the building to the west and take out the
deployed-GIs nearby.
Head left again and garrison your Conscripts in the buildings there to
take out the Allied troops guarding the Oil Derrick. When the area is
clear, send an Engineer to capture it.
Go slightly to the north and you will get a Flak Track as
reinforcement. Use it to destroy the oil barrel nearby. Tell the Falk
Track to circle around from the east and destroy the barrels on the
other side of the soccer field as well.
Now go north from the soccer field and head to the dock.
An Amphibious Transport will come to unload some Tesla Troopers. Head
to the northeast to attack the GIs on the left of the Eiffel Tower and
destroy the Allied by charging the Eiffel Tower and watch it become a
GIANT TESLA COIL!!! The Tesla electricity emitted from it should fry
all the Allied troops nearby.
Mop up the rest of the map if there are any Allied troops left. Mission
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission six: Operation Sub-Divide
Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Par time: 45 minutes
My time: 21 minutes and 34 seconds
Rank: Starshiy Leytenant (1st Lieutenant)
Briefing:
The Americans are on their knees, begging for mercy. The last remnants
of their fleet at Pearl Harbor waits helplessly for your relentless
attack. However, we have news that the Koreans are not yet beaten and
may attempt to join up with the American Navy. They must not succeed.
Objective 1: Establish a base in the Hawaiian Islands.
Objective 2: Destroy the Allied Navy.
Walkthrough:
Two Amphibious Transports accompanied by three Submarines and two Aegis
Cruisers should enter the map and some Conscripts, Tesla Troopers,
Attack dogs and your MCV will be unloaded on the shore.
As soon as you set up your base, a 15 minutes timer will commence
before the Korean fleet arrives.
Build up LOTS of Submarines ASAP and station them northwest of your
base next to a small island with a small bunker on it. You may also
transport some Conscripts and garrison them inside the bunker (you will
be rewarded with a crate of money for this) because this is where the
Korean fleet will pass by later.
You will also receive three Dreadnoughts and some Aegis Cruisers as
reinforcement. Use the Aegis Cruisers to block any Allied Aircraft
Carriers and Destroyers later and leave the Dreadnoughts alone for now.
When three minutes were left, Lieutenant Zofia will contact and warn
you that if the Korean fleet manage to join up with the American, it
will be very difficult to destroy them.
Prepare your Submarines and they should be ready at their ambush place.
When the timer expires, the Korean fleet will arrive and you should be
able to destroy the whole fleet. Now prepare for an invasion to the
enemy base.
Gather all your Submarines and force an entry into the American base
located near the center of the map. You should be able to gain entry
into the water enclosure inside the American base quite easily. Blow up
the two Naval Yards there as well as any ships docked there. Mission
accomplished!!!
Additional note: Use the earlier three Dreadnoughts reinforcement to
take out any Prism Towers near the shore from a safe distance.
***********************************************************************
Mission seven: Operation Chrono Defense
Location: Ural Mountains, Russia
Par time: 30 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
The Americans have engaged their Chronosphere; a device that allows
them to move soldiers across great distances almost instantly. They can
now strike anywhere they wish. You must defend our Battle Lab in the
Ural mountains. The Americans will surely strike there soon in a
desperate but doomed attempt to shut down our development of the
ultimate battle tank.
Objective 1: Defend your Battle Lab at all costs.
Walkthrough:
First thing to do is to get four War-Miners to harvest ore so your cash
flow will be steady.
Build lots of Sentry Guns and Flak Cannons to defend your base.
You will receive transmission from Lieutenant Zofia saying that the
Americans tried to turn Soviet citizens against us with a propaganda
truck. Send your troops to the village at the western area and destroy
the truck. You will be rewarded with a crate to bolster your money.
Additional note:
Keep an eye to the road east of your base; at some point during the
game, there will be three Allied trucks passing by. Destroy them and
you will be rewarded with three crates. Two of them will bolster your
cash while the last one will increase unit's speed.
Place several Attack dogs next to your structures to sniff out any
Allied Spies, as they will try to infiltrate the Tesla Reactors and the
Radar Tower. They will usually try to shut down the power a few moments
before they attack so be prepared.
The main objective in this mission is to defend against waves of Allied
attackers until there are no more. Be patient and you will survive!!!
The map will be revealed and you should find three Oil Derricks and one
Tech Outpost to the east. Train four Engineers and capture all of them.
Build a couple Flak Cannons around the captured Tech Buildings.
Send your troops to the small Allied camp at the southeast and destroy
it. You should find two crates of money there.
Start a mass production of Rhino Heavy Tanks and disperse them to your
base entrances so you can defend against the American assault from
various positions at a time.
One last thing you should remember, most of the assault should be easy
to handle with the Sentry Guns and Tesla Coils (train some Tesla
Troopers to back them up) surrounding your base. However, be careful
when the Prism Tanks division arrived. They can destroy buildings
really fast, so the best way to counter them is to send your Apocalypse
Tanks and destroy them before they can reach your base.
You will be warned of the last Allied reinforcement, be prepared and
wipe them out. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission eight: Operation Desecration
Location: Washington DC
Par time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
Even in the hour of our greatest victory, General Vladimir has turned
against us. Tempted by the soft American lifestyle, he has gone rogue
and convinced many loyal communists to turn against us. You must go to
Washington DC and dig Vladimir out of his wretched hole.
Objective 1: Capture the White House.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and a few moments later a plane will come to drop lots
of veteran Conscripts. Get a Desolator there and use his radiation gun.
Those Conscripts should be gone in no time.
Train several Conscripts and garrison them in the bunker east of your
base and the one near the ore field.
Send the rest of the troops to destroy the Lincoln Memorial to the
north and you will receive two crates. The left one will promote your
unit and the one on the right will bolster your cash.
Additional note: You might want to leave some Apocalypse Tanks in your
base as the enemy love to send some Rhino Heavy Tanks and V3 Rocket
Launchers to destroy your base so be prepared.
Start mass production of Apocalypse Tanks ASAP and go destroy the
Washington Monument to earn a money crate. Destroy the Soviet base
around the monument and destroy the Smithsonian Natural History Museum
to the southeast. You will be rewarded with two crates. The one on the
north will give you some cash and the bottom one will promote your
unit.
Destroy the Smithsonian Castle and you will be rewarded with two crates
again. The left one will increase unit's speed while the right one
contains some money.
Don't forget to destroy the Psychic Beacon nearby as well.
Send an Engineer to repair the bridge to the southwest (near the soccer
field) and you will gain access to the Jefferson Memorial. Destroy it
and enjoy the money crate left behind. Kill off all enemy units here
and the parked trucks as well.
The farthest truck on the left will leave a crate, which will promote
your unit. The two trucks next to it will leave crates that upgrade
unit speed and armor respectively. The three remaining trucks will
leave crates that will reveal the map, increase unit's firepower as
well as a promotion.
Wipe out the rest of the enemy forces in the area and send an Engineer
to capture the White House. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission nine: Operation The Fox and the Hound
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Par time: 30 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
Our victory is near at hand. The President as successfully eluded us,
but we have tracked him to a dirty little fort called 'The Alamo' in
San Antonio, Texas. You must use out Psi-Corps Troopers to mind control
the President and force him to surrender the United States.
Objective 1: Use Mind-Control to capture the President.
Walkthrough:
Use the three Psi-Corps Troopers to mind control the two GIs north of
your starting position who is guarding the Barracks and the Battle Lab.
Mind control the two Engineers nearby and use them to capture both
buildings.
Now send the Psi-Corps Troopers to the southeast (the small American
base) and mind control the sniper there. Use him to kill off all the
GIs there.
Mind control the Grizzly Battle Tank and use it to destroy the two
Pill-boxes.
Bring the sniper to kill all the units patrolling the perimeter of the
Fort. Take him to the north entrance of Fort Alamo and kill the SEALs
and the Attack dogs guarding it. Now train two Spies, put on a disguise
and infiltrate the Power Plant.
When the power is offline, use the sniper to kill the SEALs and the
Secret Service agents around the President.
Repeat the step again. When the power is off, bring in the Psi-Corps
Trooper to mind control the President. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission ten: Operation Weathered Alliance
Location: US Virgin Islands
Par time: 2 hours
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
In their final desperate hours, the Allies have managed to produce one
last bit of super-technology. They have a Weather Control Device which
they can use to create terrible storms that can sink fleets and level
cities. We believe they have hidden their doomsday weapon in the
isolated US Virgin Islands.
Objective 1: Capture the American Battle Lab to locate the Weather
Control Device.
Objective 2: Destroy the Weather Control Device.
Walkthrough:
Set up your base and take your time. There's no rush this time because
the Americans won't attack excluding a few rocketeers now and then.
Additional note: Destroy the trees near your base to save space for
building more structures.
Build some Submarines and go destroy both Naval Yards near the American
shore.
Load up some Apocalypse Tanks into Amphibious Transports and unload
them on the beach to destroy the American base. Use Dreadnoughts to
take out the Prism Towers (be careful of SEALs with C4 charges).
Send and Engineer to capture the American Battle Lab and the Weather
Control Device location will be revealed at the northwest corner.
You should have built a Nuclear Missile Silo by now. Just launch the
missile to destroy the Weather Control Device. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission eleven: Operation Red Revolution
Location: Moscow
Par time: 1 hour and 45 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
Yuri has turned against us. There is only one answer for such treason.
Objective 1: Destroy Yuri's headquarters – The Kremlin.
Walkthrough:
Establish your base and gather all your initial forces to attack the
cliff to the northeast. Destroy the Tesla Coil, Flak Cannons and all
enemy units here.
Additional note: Capture an Oil Derrick north of your base (near the
ore field) to help with the cash flow. Station a few Apocalypse Tanks
to protect it from Yuri's Rhino Heavy Tanks.
Position your units on the cliff facing to the farm (southeast corner)
and they should be able to take out any attacking enemy units. Station
a Kirov Airship there to help.
Build five Flak Cannons north of your base and another five east for
your base. Now train lots of Flak Troopers and station them near the
Flak Cannons to the north and east. Then build a Nuclear Missile Silo.
As soon as you build it, Lieutenant Zofia will inform you that Yuri's
air armada is coming. He will send two Kirovs every time to destroy the
silo. Your Flak Cannons and Flak Troopers should be enough to stop
those monsters.
Just launch the nuke at the Kremlin twice and it will be destroyed.
Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission twelve: Operation Polar Storm
Location: Point Hope, Alaska
Par time: 2 hours and 20 minutes
My time:
Rank:
Briefing:
We have found the last feeble Allied stronghold. Their Chronosphere,
now fully operational, can move soldiers anywhere in the world. They
can strike at us in New York, in Prague, even in Moscow. Yuri's files
show the device is located near Point Hope, Alaska. You must take what
few forces we have in the area and lead an attack, before the Allies
make use of their cowardly technology. This is the final hour,
commander. Glory awaits.
Objective 1: Destroy the Chronosphere.
Walkthrough:
Quickly establish your base and train several Conscripts. Lieutenant
Zofia will warn you of the Allied initial Chronosphere assault. Use
your Conscripts to destroy the Rocket IFVs chronoshifted into your
base.
Build a couple Flak Cannons around your base as well to ward off any
rocketeers. The Allied will be making frequent assault to your base
with rocketeers so be prepared.
Build a few Typhoon Submarines and send them to the northwest of your
base. The Allied dock should be revealed on the map, destroy the two
Naval Yards and any naval units guarding it.
Bring in some Apocalypse Tanks and Kirov Airships to decimate the base.
Capture the buildings with Engineers and build your War Factory there
and make it your primary building. Start mass production of Apocalypse
Tanks there and tell them to guard the War Factory because the Allied
will be chronoshifting troops from time to time to destroy your
foothold there.
Head to the northeast and destroy every single Allied units and
structures that you find. You will find three Kirov Airships near the
Tech Airport. Capture it with an Engineer if you want to. Otherwise
join up the Kirov Airships and the Apocalypse Tanks and go to the west.
Destroy everything that is in your way.
Make your way into the Allied base and destroy everything. You will
find the Chronosphere surrounded by LOTS of Prism Towers, Pill-boxes
and Patriot Missile Systems.
Additional note: Launching nuclear missile against the Chronosphere is
useless as it will not be destroyed, only damaged to half of its health
meter.
Due to the heavy defense in the base, your best chance to win is to
combine the Kirov Airships with the Apocalypse Tanks to smash through
the defense. Good luck!!! When the Chronosphere is destroyed, you will
see a spectacular cut scene and you will be back in the game. Mission
accomplished!!!
Congratulations!!! This is the end of the Soviet campaign. You have
just conquered the world under the command of Motherland Russia. Enjoy
the ending!!! ^_^
