1. Updates
October 12, 2001: Just started the FAQ today. I had put the format in
and managed to finish the Soviet walkthrough. More will probably be
coming tomorrow or I might resort to my Commandos 2 FAQ... (Version
1.0)
October 14, 2001: Finished the walkthrough for the Allied missions at
quarter past twelve in the morning. The last mission was quite tough
but it doesn't prove to be a challenge once the trick had been
discovered... Should be starting the new units' descriptions soon as
well as continuing my Commandos 2 walkthrough. (Version 1.1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Introduction
Please note that I'm very busy with schoolwork (I'm a grade 12 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...

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.

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.

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 while traveling
across water, all the units and vehicles on board will also be lost so
take all the necessary precautions to prevent that from happening by
escorting it with some naval support.

5. Walkthrough
!!!IMPORTANT!!!
--> This walkthrough was based on playing in normal difficulty.
--> This walkthrough is written for the purpose so that players can
complete the missions in the shortest time possible. Additional info
and secrets in each mission will be placed under the "Additional info"
section.
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 Time Lapse
Location: San Francisco, California
Par time: 20 minutes
Rank: 1st Lieutenant
Briefing:
It's only a matter of time before Yuri brings the Psychic Dominator on
Alcatraz back online. Our only chance is to use Professor Einstein's
Time Machine to send us back in time and stop Yuri before he can
complete his worldwide network of Psychic Dominators.
Objective 1: Capture Power Plants to power the Time Machine.
Objective 2: Defend the Time Machine.
Objective 3: Destroy the Psychic Dominator on Alcatraz
Walkthrough:
Train four Engineers immediately and get the tanks to secure the two
Civilian Power Plants to the south. Get the Engineers to capture them
and then the tanks should head to the west to secure the two Civilian
Power Plants there. Send the two remaining Engineers to capture them as
well.
The Time Machine will be activated and everything will be shifted back
to the Soviet invasion in RA2. Use the Grand Cannons to take out the
Soviet Dreadnoughts while the Guardian GIs should take care of the
Kirov coming from the northwest. Repel the Soviet tank assault with the
base defenses and Tanya will appear from the Time Machine.
Get her to swim to the north towards the Psychic Dominator and C4 the
two patrolling Sea Scorpions. Head inland and kill off the conscripts
as well as the dogs around the Psychic Dominator.
Shoot the barrels next to the wire fence around the Psychic Dominator
then move in to blow it up. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission two: Operation Hollywood and Vain
Location: Los Angeles, California
Par time: 1 hour
Rank: Captain
Briefing:
Yuri has mind controlled the population of Los Angeles and is feeding
the civilians into his Grinders to fund his Psychic Dominator project.
If we can eliminate the Grinders, Yuri will have lost a significant
source of funds.
Objective 1: Destroy all Grinders in the city.
Objective 2: Destroy all Yuri buildings.
Hint: Not all civilians have been mind controlled. Some of them may
even be able to help us in the coming battle.
Walkthrough:
Deploy the MCV and start building as usual. Get the GIs to head
slightly to the northwest and they will find a movie actor called Flint
Westwood. He is very good in repelling infantry attacks so keep him
alive.
Send the GIs to garrison the hotel to the northwest and train more
Guardian GIs and the regular ones to help defend the base from initial
Yuri attacks. Don't forget to repair the hotel when it gets damaged.
Quickly build a Battle Lab and reinforcement will come which is
consisted of a Battle Fortress and some regular plus some Guardian GIs.
Get the Guardian GIs to enter the Battle Fortress and help defend the
base while the Prism Tanks should begin to be mass-produced.
When there are about ten Prisms, send them to destroy the Grinder to
the east and head north to destroy the Grinder near the stadium. Send
an Engineer to capture the Machine Shop along the way to the second
Grinder.
Destroying the second Grinder will reveal a crate of money along with a
new movie actor, Sammy Stallion.
Head west from here to destroy the third Grinder, again revealing
another crate of money. Head to the southwest to penetrate Yuri's base
defenses and destroy everything; Yuri will sell his buildings when
enough damage is inflicted. Proceed to kill all his Initiates and any
remaining tanks then destroy the fourth and last Grinder to the
southeast, thus revealing another money crate as well as a new movie
actor, Arnie Frankenfurter.
Get the Prism Tanks to go to the northwest corner of the map and
destroy all Yuri's buildings here. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission three: Operation Power Play
Location: Seattle, Washington
Par time: 30 minutes
Rank: Major
Briefing:
Now that we've destroyed Yuri's primary source of funds, the madman has
decided to take a more direct approach. Yuri has set up a Nuclear Silo
in Seattle and is using it to extort money and technical expertise from
the MassiveSoft Corporation. We must save the city and MassiveSoft from
Yuri's nuclear threat.
Objective 1: Destroy Yuri's Nuclear Silo.
Objective 2: Liberate the MassiveSoft campus.
Walkthrough:
SPEED is the key for this mission. Quickly get the regular GIs to
garrison the Seattle Space Needle and the whole map will be revealed.
Train some Snipers and Engineers then move your troops slightly
northwards. Get the two Engineers to capture the two oil derricks to
the southwest. Train another Engineer and get him to capture the
Machine Shop to the east of the base.
When the Weather Control Device is ready, fire it at Yuri's base to
take out his Bio Reactors. Just before Yuri launched his nuclear
missile, sell the War Factory and the two Power Plants to get the money
because they will get destroyed anyway.
Quickly get a sniper to take out the Yuri Clones guarding the Civilian
Power Plant and send the tanks in to take care of the Lashers and
Gatling Tanks. Send an Engineer behind to capture the Civilian Power
Plant once it is secure then the nuclear missile timer will be halted
and some more snipers will be parachuted in including a reinforcement
of some tanks.
Yuri will try his best to re-take the Civilian Power Plant; make sure
that doesn't happen by protecting the parachuting snipers from the
Yuri's tanks.
Don't forget to leave a sniper and a Mirage tank near the Barracks to
repel Yuri's infantry assaults.
Get some more snipers to snipe the Yuri Clones near the Civilian Power
Plant to the northwest of the base (along the road). Send the tanks
again to secure the area and get an Engineer to capture the Civilian
Power Plant.
Send another tank brigade to the north and secure the Civilian Power
Plant then get an Engineer to capture it. When the Weather Device
Control comes back online, use it to take out Yuri's forces around the
MassiveSoft campus then send in some tanks to mop up. Doing this will
reward the Allies with three crates of money.
Now send a small strike force (bring a sniper) along the western edge
of the map and enter Yuri's base through the side entrance. Use the
sniper to protect the tanks from Yuri Clones while they pound away at
Yuri's Missile Silo. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission four: Operation Tomb Raided
Location: Egypt
Par time: 45 minutes
Rank: Major
Briefing:
Yuri has captured Einstein in an attempt to expedite the completion of
his Psychic Dominator technology. It is imperative we rescue Einstein
immediately and then rid Egypt of all Yuri forces.
Objective 1: Destroy Bio Reactors around Great Pyramid to rescue
Einstein.
Objective 2: Destroy Yuri's base.
Walkthrough:
Setup the base as usual but don't forget to build a few Pillboxes
around it. Load Tanya and the two Engineers into the Night Hawk
Transport then fly them to the oil derricks at the eastern part of the
map. Use Tanya to kill the nearby Initiates then get the Engineers to
capture the derricks. Tanya should head to the north and blow the
bridge connecting to the other side of the river to prevent Yuri from
sending his troops.
Send the Night Hawk back to base and train 3 more Engineers to capture
the remaining oil derricks then start to mass-produce Prism Tanks.
Now Tanya should swim across the river towards the Great Pyramid and
shoot the barrel to open a hole in the wall. Go inside and kill all the
Initiates then C4 all the Bio Reactors to free Einstein. A Night Hawk
Transport will then come to pick him up. Get Tanya to simply destroy
all the remaining Yuri buildings here.
Now just station at Tanya near the riverbank to the northeast of the
base to keep an eye on any incoming Yuri's Amphibious Transports.
Repair the bridge that Tanya blown up earlier then send the Prism Tanks
to the east and destroy Yuri's base. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission five: Operation Clones Down Under
Location: Sydney, Australia
Par time: 45 minutes
Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
Briefing:
Yuri has established cloning facilities in Sydney, Australia. It is
believed he plans to clone the world leaders. We must put an end to
this operation at any cost.
Objective 1: Find and destroy Yuri's Cloning Vats.
Objective 2: Destroy Yuri's remaining forces.
Walkthrough:
Start by building some Pillboxes and Prism Towers around the base and
garrison the building just in front of it.
After a few minutes, Eva will inform the base that Yuri is sending his
Boomers. Destroy them all with the Destroyers and Dolphins then Eva
will transmit that the Koreans are helping by donating their Black
Eagles to destroy Yuri's Sub Pen.
Consolidate the base defenses then start to mass-produce Prism Tanks.
Build two War Factories to increase the production rate. When enough
Prism Tanks are produced, send them along the road to the southeast and
destroy any buildings that Yuri garrisoned.
Capture the Machine Shop along the way and there is also a Hospital at
the southwestern edge of the map but it is not vital to the war effort.
Get the Prism Tanks to destroy every single Yuri's units and buildings.
Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission six: Operation Trick or Treaty
Location: London, England
Par time: 30 minutes
Rank: General
Briefing:
Having failed to clone the world leaders, Yuri plans to capture the
real ones. Defend them at the Houses of Parliament in London,
England... then deal with Yuri.
Objective 1: Defend Parliament from assault.
Objective 2: Destroy Yuri's base.
Walkthrough:
A twenty-minutes timer will start, signaling the countdown until the
arrival of Yuri's forces. Deploy the base and quickly pump out as many
GIs as possible then garrison the Big Ben and all other buildings on
the Allied side. Send more GIs to garrison the buildings next to the
three bridges (2 buildings for each bridge).
Get a tank and three Engineers to head to the northeast and look for a
small enclosed area with three oil derricks. Blast the wire fences with
the Grizzly then send the Engineers to capture the derricks; the income
of cash is vital in this mission.
Setup defenses around the Parliament by building some Pillboxes, Prism
Towers and Patriot Missile System then deploy some Guardian GIs.
Send two more Engineers to the northeast then look for a Hospital and a
Machine Shop to be captured.
Build the Robot Control Center and mass-produce Robot Tanks along with
Prism and Mirage Tanks.
Once the attack began, build some Rocketeers and IFVs, as Yuri's last
assault will come in the form of 4-5 Floating Discs. Quickly shoot them
down before they can do too much damage to the base.
When Yuri's attacks have been successfully repelled, the Soviets will
send some reinforcement. Use the Soviet navy to help destroy Yuri's
Boomers later.
Mass-produce on Prism Tanks immediately and send them to level Yuri's
base at the northeastern side of the map. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission seven: Operation Brain Dead
Location: Antarctica
Par time: 1 hour
Rank: General of the Army
Briefing:
It's almost over, Commander. Yuri's plot lies in ruins. However, he
still has one last Psychic Dominator located somewhere in his
stronghold in Antarctica. Bring the abandoned Soviet base on Tierra Del
Fuego back online and build a radar dish so that we can pinpoint Yuri's
exact location. Then, with the combined might of Allied and Soviet
forces, put an end to Yuri's plans once and for all.
Objective 1: Build a Soviet Radar Dish.
Objective 2: Destroy the Psychic Dominator in Antarctica.
Objective 3: Destroy all Yuri forces.
Walkthrough:
Get the Engineers to capture the Soviet Construction Yard as well as
the Tesla Reactor. Develop a base and garrison the army tent as well as
the communication center with conscripts to help the Sentry Guns repel
Yuri attacks. Send an Engineer to the north to capture the oil derrick
as well as the Machine Shop to the west.
Build a few Battle Bunkers and Flak Cannons to strengthen the defenses
against Floating Discs as well as some Flak Tracks then build a Soviet
Radar Dish when ready.
Wait a while and an Allied MCV will be chronosphered to the south.
Yuri's Genetic Mutator and Psychic Dominator will come online at the
same time. Quickly climb the Soviet tech tree and build an Industrial
Plant.
Use the Allied MCV to build an Ore Purifier as well then focus on
building some Grand Cannons (4 to 5) to repel Yuri's assaults. Send two
Engineers to the south and grab the money crate near the two oil
derricks then capture them.
If Yuri's Psychic Dominator destroyed any building, simply rebuild them
again.
Quickly build a Weather Control Device and Nuclear Missile Silo then
use them both when ready to destroy the Psychic Dominator.
Mass-produce Prism Tanks and send the rolling to Yuri's base to
demolish everything in the way (Beware of the Magnetrons and Master
Minds). Use the nuclear missile and weather storm to help the Prism
Tanks destroy Yuri's base and forces. Mission accomplished!!!
Congratulations!!! This is the end of the Allied campaign. You have
saved the earth from Yuri's evil plan for world domination as well as
making sure that the Soviets remain as the loser in the war. Enjoy the
ending!!! ^_^
***********************************************************************
SOVIET CAMPAIGN
***********************************************************************
Mission one: Operation Time Shift
Location: San Francisco, California
Par time: 35 minutes
Rank: Lieutenant
Briefing:
The world is in ruin. Yuri is poised to rule unchallenged. Only a
daring Allied plan to travel back in time stands between Yuri and total
domination. But Yuri must pay for his betrayal at Soviet hands, not
Allied. We must capture the Time Machine and travel back ourselves.
Objective 1: Destroy the Allied Navy and Grand Cannons.
Objective 2: Destroy Pill Boxes around Time Machine to capture it.
Objective 3: Capture 4 Power Plants to power Time Machine.
Objective 4: Take control of Soviet base and use it to destroy the
Psychic Dominator.
Walkthrough:
Start by destroying the Allied Navy with the Submarines, Giant Squids
and Sea Scorpions. Use the Dreadnoughts to take care of the two Grand
Cannons. When it is done, they will retreat and four Amphibious
Transports will land at the waterside then unload some units.
Zofia will appear to give some explanations on Boris. Move Boris
forward followed by the other units behind. Head to the southeast to
reach the Time Machine while destroying any opposition and use an
Engineer to capture the tech hospital on the way (make sure that the
patrolling Grizzly Battle Tanks around are destroyed first).
Ram through the wire fences with the Rhino Heavy Tanks and kill the
GIs. Use a second Engineer to capture the Machine Shop next to the Time
Machine while the others should be pounding away at the Pillboxes.
A group of Engineer will be parachuted in. Use the Rhinos to secure the
four nearest Civilian Power Plants and get the Engineers to capture
them.
Be on the lookout for Yuri's Amphibious Transports, as he will try to
capture the Civilian Power Plants as well. If he managed to do that,
just send an Engineer to re-capture it again.
After four Civilian Power Plants have been captured, the Time Machine
will be activated. It turns out that the Engineers put too much energy,
causing the time shift to travel back to 65 million years ago. Get the
troops to stay were they are and protect the Time Machine from the
incoming T-Rexes for about one and a half minute. After a few moments,
time shift will occur again and this time the troops will find
themselves in the middle of the Soviet invasion in RA2.
Re-capture the Machine Shop next to the Time Machine and head to the
northwest along the road to take control of the Soviet base.
Quickly get Boris to head to northeast and destroy Yuri's Lasher Tanks
near the Grand Cannons. The Rhinos should come in to help destroy the
lone Gatling Cannon nearby. Load Boris into the Amphibious Transport
and ferry him over to Alcatraz Island. Boris should disembark and kill
off all the Initiates then call an air strike to destroy the Psychic
Dominator. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission two: Operation Deja Vu
Location: Black Forest, Germany
Par time: 1 hour
Rank: Senior Lieutenant
Briefing:
We lost the battle here in the Black Forest the first time around and
were eventually defeated by the Allies with the help of Einstein's
Chronosphere. This time, we must not fail. Destroy Einstein's
Laboratory and Chronosphere to ensure Soviet victory in our war against
the Allies.
Objective 1: Destroy the outposts guarding the German border.
Objective 2: Destroy Einstein's Laboratory and Chronosphere.
Walkthrough:
Use the V3 rockets to take care of the outposts then send the Rhinos
and Flak Tracks to the north. Go all the way to the west and go south
towards the Chronosphere. Destroy all the oppositions along the way and
charge the towards Einstein's Lab. Shoot the barrel to destroy his lab
then destroy then focus on the Chronosphere. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission three: Operation Brain Wash
Location: London, England
Par time: 30 minutes
Rank: Captain
Briefing:
The Allies have discovered a Psychic Dominator in London, England. Yuri
has taken control of the Allied strike force to help defend his near-
complete Dominator. Free the Allies and join forces with them to defeat
Yuri... but beware, the Dominator could become operational at any
moment.
Objective 1: Destroy the Psychic Beacon.
Objective 2: Destroy the Psychic Dominator.
Objective 3: Finish off Yuri's forces.
Walkthrough:
Get Boris to board the Amphibious Transport and ferry him to the north
and land near the cruise ships. Destroy the Grizzlies ad Lasher Tanks
here then proceed to the northwest. Target the Psychic Beacon and call
in an air strike to take it out.
The Allied base will come under Soviet control and Tanya will join
Boris. A ten minutes timer for the Psychic Dominator will start.
Get Tanya and Boris to go to Yuri's base at the northeastern edge of
the map. Circle around from the left and use Boris to target the Bio
Reactors. Yuri will counter by sending his Lasher Tanks. The tanks will
blow a hole on the wall so sneak Boris and Tanya inside. Try to take
out as much Bio Reactors as possible by using air strikes to deprive
the base of power.
When the base's power is down, simply use Tanya or Boris to shoot the
barrel outside the Psychic Dominator's wall then send Tanya inside to
C4 it. Yuri will sell all his buildings after the Psychic Dominator is
destroyed; kill the remaining Yuri's forces. Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission four: Operation Romanov on the Run
Location: Morocco
Par time: 40 minutes
Rank: Major
Briefing:
Premier Romanov has been shot down by Yuri's forces. We must locate the
Premier and take him to the airport so he can be rescued. Yuri has
built a tough defense around the airport that we need to eliminate
before the Premier's rescue will be secure.
Objective 1: Locate Premier Romanov and protect him.
Objective 2: Destroy Yuri's base guarding the airport.
Objective 3: Take Romanov to the airport once it is safe.
Walkthrough:
Setup the base as usual and build a couple Battle Bunkers to counter
the initial Yuri attacks. Send an Engineer to capture the oil derrick
to the northeast (near the small Yuri base there). Build a Sentry gun
nearby to protect it from Yuri's forces.
Build two more War-miners to increase cash flow then start building
some Rhino Heavy Tanks. Quickly develop the base and build the
Industrial Plant to cut the cost of building vehicles then mass-produce
the Rhinos (build two War Factories to increase production rate). Use
the Spy Plane when it is ready to reveal the eastern part of the city;
the Premier is hiding inside the building called "Rick's Place".
Yuri will occasionally attack the base with some Lasher and Gatling
Tanks along with some Initiates plus some Yuri Clones but the Battle
Bunkers should be able to take care of them.
While waiting for the tank production to finish, use the Spy Plane to
clear as much of the map as possible. Start attacking the central part
of the city and wait for the reinforcement to come, which is consisted
of three desolators and two Crazy Ivans.
Build five V3 Rockets and use them to fire at the buildings garrisoned
by Yuri Initiates while the desolaters should radiate the ground to
kill the Initiates once they come out of the building.
Bring the Rhinos over to destroy Yuri's Barracks and the four Gatling
Cannons nearby. Go across the bridge on the river and put the Rhinos at
near Yuri's base as a "cork" to repel the endless Initiates and Gatling
Tanks that Yuri is going to send. The V3 should fire their rockets
SIMULTANEOUSLY to take out the Gatling Cannons at the entrance followed
by the Psychic Towers.
Send in the Rhinos when the obstacles are cleared to destroy Yuri's
base. When the mop up operation is completed, go to the eastern part of
the city and approach "Rick's Place" while clearing any opposition
along the way.
The Premier will come out after a short cutscene. Simply escort him to
the airport. Mission accomplished!!!

Mission five: Operation Escape Velocity
Location: An uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean
Par time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
Briefing:
We have uncovered Yuri's secret Submarine Base on an uncharted island
in the Pacific Ocean. The threat of Yuri's Boomer Subs must be
neutralized!
Objective 1: Pick a landing zone and construct a base.
Objective 2: Locate and destroy Yuri's Submarine Pen.
Objective 3: Finish off all remaining Yuri forces.
Walkthrough:
Get everyone to land at the southern landing zone while destroying
Yuri's Boomers along the way. Setup a base and train three Engineers to
capture the oil derricks further to the west. Build a few Battle
Bunkers near the westernmost oil derrick to protect against Yuri's
troops, which are usually consisted of Initiates, Viruses, Brutes, Yuri
Clones and Lasher Tanks.
Build two War-miners as usual and develop the base until Zofia
introduced the Siege Chopper. Build an Industrial Plant then there are
three choices from which to decide how to complete this mission.
The first method is to mass-produce Siege Choppers. Destroy Yuri's base
from behind by landing on the ridges and deploying into artilleries
before advancing slowly towards the Submarine Pen.
The second method is to mass-produce Kirov Airships and charge the
Submarine Pen, hoping to destroy it before getting shot down by the
Gatling Cannons.
The third method is to mass-produce submarines and head to the
Submarine Pen while fighting off Yuri's Boomers.
When the Submarine Pen is destroyed, Zofia will inform the Soviets that
Yuri's base is actually a launching facility for a spacecraft. Mission
accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission six: Operation To The Moon
Location: The Moon
Par time: 45 minutes
Rank: Colonel
Briefing:
Yuri plans to launch himself to the moon after initiating his Psychic
Dominator wave over earth. We need to install a base on the moon so we
can build an attack force capable of destroying Yuri's moon bases and
his Lunar Command Center.
Objective 1: Find a location to build a base.
Objective 2: Locate and destroy Yuri's Lunar Command Center.
Objective 3: Destroy Yuri's remaining base.
Walkthrough:
Welcome to the moon! Move the MCV to the east and setup a base on the
flat land there. Develop the base as usual but there is no need to
build a War Factory. Focus on building some Flak Cannons and Sentry
Guns to ward off any Yuri attempt to destroy the base.
Train as many cosmonauts as possible (until there is no more money if
possible) and head north to look for Yuri's base. If necessary, sell
off the other buildings to get more cosmonauts. Yuri has three bases.
The main one occupies almost half of the map. The other two smaller
bases are located at the western and eastern edge of the map
respectively.
Get the cosmonauts to hit the smaller bases first but only take out the
Bio Reactors aside from the attacking units. Head to the main base and
repeat the same process in order to disable all the defenses. Mopping
up should be easy when the defenses are down. Destroy every single one
of Yuri's buildings and units including the Lunar Command Center.
Mission accomplished!!!
***********************************************************************
Mission seven: Operation Head Games
Location: Transylvania
Par time: 45 minutes
Rank: Marshal of the Soviet Union
Briefing:
Hoping to hide from your onslaught, Yuri has retreated to his ancestral
home in Transylvania. We cannot allow him any respite or he will only
rally his forces and return again to threaten us all. Eliminate Yuri
now and forever!
Objective 1: Destroy Yuri's Fortress.
Walkthrough:
Deploy the MCV and start building as usual. Build a couple Battle
Bunkers to ward off Yuri's initial assaults. Build one or two Flak
Cannons as well.
QUICKLY build five Flak Tracks and scout to the north with the Spy
Plane's help to prepare for the two Kirovs that will come later.
Assemble a small strike force and head to the northeast of the base to
find a small town with a Grinder in the middle. Destroy it to find a
crate, which will boost the income slightly. Head to the north from
here to find a secret tech lab, capture it with an Engineer.
Head to the west just across the river to find another small town and a
Grinder, destroy it to find a money crate.
Quickly build a Nuclear Missile Silo and Yuri will comment that he will
make one as well. Roughly three minutes later, he will have one as
well. Approximately two minutes later, the Allies will have a Weather
Control Device as well. Wait again for another two minutes and Yuri
will have a Psychic Dominator.
Don't worry and keep protecting your base from Yuri's attacks. If
anything gets destroyed, rebuild it again.
When the nuclear missile is ready, launch it to destroy the Psychic
Beacon controlling the Soviet base. Wait for the next nuclear missile
to be ready while building some more defenses to protect against Yuri
or build up a strike force.
When the missile is ready, fire it to destroy the Psychic Beacon
controlling the Allied base then start building some Prism or Robot
Tanks. Combine them with the Soviet strike force that had been built
earlier then launch a powerful attack to Yuri's base from both side. If
the nuclear missile or weather control device is ready before the
assault began, use them to destroy Yuri's Bio Reactors so the defenses
will be down thus making the strike force's task to be easier.
Ignore any other buildings; focus only on Yuri's Fortress then destroy
it once and for all. Mission accomplished!!!
Congratulations!!! This is the end of the Soviet campaign. You have
saved the earth from Yuri's evil plan for world domination as well as
establishing a new golden era of Soviet supremacy under Premier
Romanov. Enjoy the ending!!! ^_^
