=================================================================

First, it’s worth noting that this guide was written for Hard mode, which issignificantly more difficult than Easy or Medium mode. If some of mysuggestions and comments in the guide seem unreasonable, it’s probably becauseyou’re not playing on Hard mode.

Next, I’ll cover some of the most important keyboard/mouse functions. Ifyou’ve played at least one or two other RTS games before, most of these willprobably be familiar already, but if not, you should defintely familiarizeyourself with them.

—–
X
—–

– The X key will make your units scatter, making them harder to hit. If youget into a fight on equal footing (like Rhino on Grizzly, or Grizzly onGrizzly, et cetera), whoever scatters the best is most likely going to win.Of course, this is only necessary if you’re playing a real person instead of acomputer, but still.

—–
S
—–

– The S key will stop the last command you gave to the units you currentlyhave selected. This is great for when you realize you just sent somethingsomewhere stupid, or if you want to stop force-firing on something.

—–
H
—–

– Pressing this will center your screen on your primary Construction Yard.This is useful when you don’t have radar and accidentally bump your mouse orsomething.

—–
A
—–

– If you have a unit that isn’t yours selected, pressing the A key will allowyou to ally with that computer/human player, preventing your units fromautomatically attacking each other.

—–
T
—–

– Select a unit, then press the T key. All units of that type currentlyvisible on the screen will now be selected. Handy, eh? Try double-pressingthe T key. Now all units of that type anywhere on the battlefield will beselected. This is another absolute must-have feature for any serious player.

—————
Ctrl+Left Click
—————

– Hold down the Control key, then left click on something to make yourselected unit(s) force-fire on a target, even if it’s a friendly unit,building, or just bare ground. This is a great way to purposely destroybridges, and it’s a great way to deal with units that get Terror Drones in themtoo far from a repair bay.

————–
Alt+Left Click
————–

– This is similar to Force-Fire, only instead of firing, it’ll force yourselected unit(s) to move to the desired location. The main reason you’ll wantto use this command is for smashing infantry – tell a vehicle to force-move onan infantry unit, and it’ll actively try to run the unit over.

——–
Ctrl+1-9
——–

– Hold down the Control key, then press one of the number keys from one tonine. Anything you had selected at the time will now be in a group thatcorresponds to the number you pressed. When you let go of that selection,pressing the corresponding number key again (without Ctrl this time) willautomatically resellect those units. This is an absolute must for efficientcombat, especially in online games. Note that double-pressing the number keyfor a group will not only resellect the units, but also center your screen onthe group’s current location.

Mission Objectives Location: New York City, New York
——————

1) Destroy the Soviet Dreadnought fleet.

– There are four dreadnoughts in the water near your starting position. HaveTanya swim towards them, then use her detonator to completely destroy all fourof them.

2) Make contact with Fort Bradley.

– Take a left at the Statue of Liberty and follow the road, then turn north.Take a right at the top of the math and follow the bath to the base. MakeTanya enter it to take control of it.

3) Destroy the Soviet supply base.

– South of Fort Bradley is a small Soviet supply base. Build a barracks, thentrain an Engineer and have him repair the bridge by entering one of the yellowshacks near it. Send Tanya over the bridge and destroy everything, includingthe two turrets (which you can detonate from behind before they kill you, butjust barely).

4) Keep Tanya alive.

– If she dies, you fail.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

As usual, the first mission in the game is quite easy. Start by selectingTanya and having her swim into the water. Tanya has a nice ability that allowsher to destroy boats with an explosive charge, just like she can destroybuildings. Simply target the boat to make the detonator icon appear, then tellher to blow it up. Destroy all four of the Dreadnoughts to complete the firstmission objective.

Take a left at the Statue of Liberty, then head to the top of the map after youassist the two GIs deployed in the middle of the city. Take a right at the topof the screen, then head east all the way to Fort Bradley. Once Tanya’s insidethe fort, you’ll complete the second mission objective, and you’ll be givencontrol of the fort.

Build a barracks, then train an Engineer and have him fix the bridge to thesouth (by entering either of the small yellow shacks directly above thebridge). Send Tanya south over the bridge, then attack the Soviet supply basefrom the left (to avoid the two turrets). Tanya’s detonator will make shortwork of buildings, and her double handguns will slaughter Conscripts easily.The only tricky part is dealing with the two turrets, but if you approach fromthe rear, she can detonate them both just barely before they kill her. Or youcould train a pile of GIs if you’re paranoid about getting Tanya killed.

Mission Objectives Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado
——————

1) Capture the Soviet-occupied Air Force Academy Chapel.

– Move Tanya north towards the base, then have her swim across the lake toavoid the sentry guns. Destroy the Flak Cannons, then have your Rocketeersdestroy the sentry guns. Take control of the base using the Engineers that areparadropped into the base.

2) Destroy all Soviet forces.

– Once you have control of the base, crank out ten or so Grizzlies from yourwar factory, then use them along with Tanya and the Rocketeers to destroy theSoviet base in the north-east.

3) Keep Tanya alive.

– If she dies, you fail. Watch out for the guard dog in the Soviet base.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

The Soviet patrol in the area is easy to eliminate – just have Tanya pick offthe Conscripts, then lead the tank back to your GIs. Deploy them, and they’llshred the Rhino while it’s distracted with Tanya (or your Rocketeers will arivefirst, and they’ll make short work of the Rhino). With the patrol eliminated,send everything north towards the lake. Remember that Tanya can swim, so haveher swim over the lake and attack the air force base from the other side.

Slaughter the Conscripts, then have her detonate the Flak Cannons. Once thoseare gone, send in the Rocketeers to destroy the sentry guns. Engineers will beparadropped into the base, so use them to capture all of the structures. Useyour war factory to produce ten or so Grizzly tanks, then head north-east withthem (and Tanya and the Rocketeers).

The Soviet base is poorly defended. Attack the bottom first, then eliminatethe sentry guns and flak cannons. Send in the Rocketeers once the flak cannonsare gone, and they’ll shred the Conscripts. Move Tanya in to decimate thebuildings, but watch out for guard dogs. Once every Soviet unit and structureis gone, you’ll win the mission.

=============================================================================

——————
Mission Objectives Location: Washington DC
——————

1) Destroy the Psychic Beacon.

– Garrison the two structures near the bridge to the east of your base withyour GIs, and the Soviets will never be a threat. Simply build a huge Grizzlypile and move north through the city, past the Washington Monument to thebeacon. (Note that repairing a damaged monument will produce some powerupcrates that often have money in them.)

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Your GIs will be better suited in the two civilian buildings to the east ofyour base, near the bridge. Send them over there, and send the rest of themthe building closest to the other bridge, near the hospital. Build your basewhile you’re at it, putting a power plant down first, followed by an orerefinery, barracks, and a war factory. Build two or three more ore minersnext, then concentrate on mass-procucing Grizzlies.

Reinforcements will appear on both sides of the map, but you don’t really needto do anything with them. Once you have fifteen or so Grizzlies in your base,take them north across the bridges and turn left, then pulverize the smallSoviet base there. Continue heading north past the Washington Monument, whereyou’ll find a much larger Soviet base. Either destroy it or ignore it – yourreal objective is north of the base. Destroy the beacon surrounded by thewalls, and the mission’s over.

=============================================================================

——————
Mission Objectives Location: Chicago, Illinois
——————

1) Force a shore landing and establish a base.

– Use the Destroyers to take out the pair of Grand Cannons as well as thesubpen, then move your transports onto dry land before the subs sink them.Deploy your MCV and start building a base after that.

2) Destroy the Psychic Amplifier before it comes online.

– The beacon is in the north-west part of the map. Use Grizzlies to punch ahole in the city, then use the Rocketeer reinforcements the game gives you todestroy the beacon after the Grizzlies have cleared out the Flak Tracks andFlack Cannons. (Destroying the power plants near where the Rocketeers appearwill also render the Flak Cannons useless.)

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Use your Destroyers to take out the Grand Cannons, then rush to the west withyour boats. Destroy the subpen and as many units on the beach as you can withyour Destroyers while your transports head for land. The water is crawlingwith subs, so don’t stop moving. Deploy the transports once they’re on dryland to get the units out of them, then deploy your MCV and start building apower plant.

Soviet forces will attack right away, so position your GIs and Grizzlies nearyour construction yard. More importantly, be ready to move the Grizzlies whenyou see a V3 rocket, since you’ll need to track down the launcher and destroyit before it destroys your entire army. Build an ore refinery and a warfactory, then start producing more Grizzlies (after a few more ore miners, ofcourse).

Take your Grizzlies north through the city. You’ll encounter severalgarrisoned buildings, but don’t worry about them – concentrate on the FlakTracks and Flak Cannons instead. You’ll be given Rocketeer reinforcements tothe north-east, and if you can eliminate all of the anti-aircraft defenses inthe area, those Rocketeers can end the mission for you.

Move the Rocketeers west along the top of the map, and you’ll eventually seethe beacon. Destroy it to finish the mission. (If a Flack Track startshitting you from somewhere, just retreat and move some more Grizzlies into thearea.)

=============================================================================

——————
Mission Objectives Location: Polish/German Boarder
——————

1) Infiltrate the Soviet Battle Lab.

– You need to get one of your Spies in there. Have Tonya clear the place outfirst, she can slaughter infantry and guys easily. Blast a hole in the wallwith the set of explosive barrels near the eastern Tesla Coil for easy access.

2) Neutralize the 2 Soviet Nuclear Missile Silos.

– The section of your map where the silos are located won’t show up untilyou’ve infiltrated the Battle Lab. After that, it’s a simple matter of havingTanya swim over to the western silo. Free the Allied units from the fencingto the south-west of the silo, then use the Grizzly to blast a hole in the wallnear the silo, so Tanya can detonate it safely. Have Tanya take out the powerplants until the Tesla Coils are no longer powered, then send her to the top ofthe map, then east to the second silo. Destroy the eastern coil using theexplosive barrels, then just detonate the second one. Clear out this part ofthe base, then destroy the second silo to end the mission.

3) Keep Tanya alive.

– If she dies, you fail. Lots of dogs on this mission, so be careful.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

The only thing of interest in the small Soviet base to the south is a cratewith a speed upgrade in it. You can get Tanya in there to grab it if you’recareful and fast, but it’s not really worth your trouble. There’re also someAllied soldiers on the east side of the map, but they’re not really importantto the mission either, so don’t worry about them.

Have Tanya move north towards the Soviet base, and make sure you’re very alert.Attack Dogs are everywhere, and they’ll kill you instantly if you fail to killthem first. When you reach the base, shoot the explosive barrels around theeastern Tesla Coil to knock a hole in the wall, then raid the base. Killeverything that moves, and destroy both power plants below the Battle Lab.

Move to the west side of the base and shoot the barrels to blow a hole in thewall, then move all the way to the west side of the map. Follow the verynarrow path to the north, where you’ll find two crates, one of which is anarmor powerup. Swim over the water to return to the Soviet base, this timeattacking from the north. You can easily force your way in using the sametactics you used before, and when you destroy the remaining power, the TeslaCoils will be rendered useless. Send a Spy to the Battle Lab to complete thefirst objective and expand the map. (Alternatively, you could’ve just had aSpy enter one of the power plants to temporarily disable the base’s power.)

Continue heading north with Tanya, then turn to the west when you see thebridge. Swim across the water to the land on the other side. On the farwestern side of the map, you’ll find a small fenced-in area with some Alliedtroops inside. Destroy the fence by shooting the explosive barrels to free theAllied forces, then use the Grizzly to knock a hole in the wall of the Sovietbase below the nuclear missile silo.

Detonate it, then destroy the power plants in the area. Exit the base and headwest, then approach the base again from its south-west corner. You’ll be ableto destroy all of the base’s power from here, rendering the Tesla Coilsuseless. Send Tanya and the Grizzly all the way to the north, then head eastuntil you’re above the second Soviet silo.

The Tesla Coil on the eastern side of the base’s northern entrance can easilybe destroyed with the explosive barrels, and with the armor upgrade you gotearlier, Tanya can easily survive the hit she’ll take from the second coil ifshe tries to detonate it. Do so, then move in and knock a hole in the wallaround the second silo. Detonate it to end the mission.

| —————————————– |
=============================================================================

——————
Mission Objectives Location: Washington DC
——————

1) Reinforce and assume command of Allied forces at the Pentagon.

– This will complete on its own when your transports unload.

2) Destroy all Soviet forces in Washington.

– All forces, including infantry inside garrisoned buildings. Use someHarriers to scout the map if necessary.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

A fairly large Soviet rush will wipe out a lot of the Pentagon’s defenses onthe east side at the very start of the mission. Once your transports empty,deploy your MCV and start building an ore refinery. Use your GIs to garrisonthe buildings on the north-west side of your base, then drop the ore refineryin the south-west corner. Build a barracks and a war factory, then build atleast two more ore miners. Get your Air Force Command and Battle Lab built aswell.

Your next goal should be to reinforce the east side of the Pentagon. Placethree or four more Prism Towers around the north-east corner, and make sure youhave enough power to run them. Next, you’ll want something to deal with V3attacks, so build some Rocketeers and leave them near the Prism Towers. Theycan shoot down the V3 rockets before they hit the target, and you can use themto easily destroy the launchers.

Terror Drones are pesky, but with your Prism Towers active, they shouldn’t getthe chance to reach your ore miners. If they do, retreat the miners into thesafety of the Prism Towers. When a miner uses its chrono shift, the TerrorDrone will be left behind – use that fact to distance the miner from the Drone.

The only thing left to do is to start building your attack force, so startmass-producing Grizzlies. A few IFVs with Engineers in them isn’t a bad idea,since you can use them to repair your damaged tanks. Once you have your forcetogether, I recommend heading up the west side of the map, then attacking fromthe north-west corner. The Soviet forces on the upper parts of the map won’tbe very hard to destroy, but the base closer to yours will be considerablymore difficult, mostly because it’s a littler more dense.

If you’re having problems assaulting it with tanks, build a few more Air ForceCommand headquarters and stock them with Harriers, then use the Harrier groupsto destroy the defensive structures inside the Soviet base. Either way, makesure you wipe it out completely – every unit on the map must be gone before themission will end, and that includes Soviet soldiers garrisoned in civilianbuildings. I suggest you use Harriers on those as well, since they can wipeout tanks fairly easily.

| —————————————– |
=============================================================================

——————
Mission Objectives Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
——————

1) Destroy all Soviet forces.

– This is a little misleading, all you have to do is destroy the Sovietstructures. I suggest using a large Carrier force for this, since they can hitthings from a distance.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

The Soviets are attacking your base from the water, so start by buildings fiveor six Destroyers. Use your existing boats to fend off the submarines anddreadnoughts, then focus on building up your base. You’ll want to line thetop, left, and bottom of your base with Prism Towers to defend against theconstant transports and paratroopers, and you’ll want a few IFVs with rocketcapability to defend against dreadnought missiles. You’ll also want to keep anEngineer handy, since the Soviets can paradrop engineers directly into yourbase and steal a building (usually your ore refinery). Build a Battle Lab soyou can build aircraft carriers, and make sure you have four or more ore minersrunning to collect money faster.

With your base secured, you’re free to concentrate on building a ridiculousnavy. Get at least ten destroyers if you don’t already have them, then build agroup of seven or more carriers. Move south out of your home waters, then turnwest and head for the Soviet occupied island. You’ll need to be fairly quickabout it, too, since the Soviets are building a nuclear missile silo.

When you reach the island, deal with the submarines that attack, then use yourdestroyers to destroy some of the Flak Cannons along the shore. If the timeron the nuclear missile gets too low for comfort, attack it with the carriers.Even though they’ll lose all of their planes, they should still easily be ableto destroy it, and they’ll regenerate more planes anyway.

With the nuclear threat eliminated, you’re free to demolish the Soviet base. Isuggest you start by taking your destroyers underneath the island, then head upthe west side, where you’ll find a pair of Soviet shipyards. Destroy them bothto prevent them from building more boats, then start destroying any other FlakCannons, Flak Tracks, or Flak troops you can reach. When you’ve cleared thearea out as well as you can, start targeting anything and everything with yourcarriers.

The carriers can easily crush the entire base, and since you don’t need to killthe units, it shouldn’t take you long to finish the mission.

Mission Objectives Location: Saint Louis, Missouri
——————

1) Destroy the Soviet Psychic Beacon.

– Approach it from the bottom-right, then have Tanya shoot the barrels on thetop-right corner of the walls surrounding it. The resulting explosion willtake out a huge chunck of the wall as well as some of the buildings inside, butnot enough to make the Tesla Coils lose power. You’ll have to run Tanya abovethe stadium and carefully detonate the other two power plants, then it’ll besafe to detonate the beacon.

2) Destroy all Soviet forces within Saint Louis.

– This time, they actually mean ALL forces, not just the buildings. You’llhave to hunt down every single unit, including dogs.

3) Don’t get Tanya killed.

– If she dies, you fail. There’s quite an impressive number of dogs runningaround, too, so be careful.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Gather your units and head south-west either on or to the east of the bridge.When you’re slightly below the beacon, turn west and head towards it. Garrisonthe civilian building on the top-right corner of the Soviet walls with yourGIs, then have Tanya shoot the barrels near the top-right corner of the wallsto blast a hole in them. It’ll take a few of the buildings with it, but notenough to shut down the Tesla Coils.

Run Tanya above the stadium area, then west towards the remaining pair of powerplants. More troops, dogs, and ore miners are wandering up there, so make sureyou’re fast. Detonate both power plants to make the Tesla Coils lose power,then detonate the beacon. Send Tanya back underneath your garrisoned civilianbuilding for safe keeping, then scroll to the south-east corner of the map,where your reinforcements have arrived.

Deploy your MCV, then get your base set up. Once you have a war factory and abattle lab, you should be able to build Prism Tanks. If you have four or moreore miners running, you should be able to generate enough money to crank outtwenty or more Prism Tanks in no time, so go ahead and do so.

Take the pile west towards the Soviet base above the stadium and pulverizeeverything in the area, including every last unit you can find. Once theentire city is clean, you’ll win the mission.

Mission Objectives Location: Tulum, Mexico
——————

1) Capture or Destroy any Soviet attempts to replicate our Prism Technology.

– There are two Mayan “temples” on the eastern part of the Soviet base thathave been converted into Soviet versions of Prism Towers. Capture or destroyboth of them to satisfy this objective.

2) Eradicate the Soviet base defending their research site.

– Not only the base, but every single Soviet unit on the map as well.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Take your Seals west towards the spot that’s revealed on your radar, whereyou’ll find some Soviet troops and guard dogs in a small village. Clear themout to free the GIs and Grizzlies from the fenced areas, then garrison a hut onthe road with six of the GIs. Put the other four and an Engineer into thechopper that arrives, then head all the way to the extreme north-west corner ofthe map, where you’ll find a tech airfield. Capture it with the engineer, thendeploy the four GIs next to it for protection.

Send the chopper back to the village and pick up the other four engineers, thensend the chopper east to the water. Park the Grizzlies on the northern part ofthe road so they’ll pick off the Flak Tracks that continuously roam the area,which will eventually lead to both of the Grizzlies fully leveling up (whichwill be very useful later in the mission).

Take your remaining Seals east towards the water, then have them dive in andmove south. There’s a beach area on the far eastern side of the Soviet base,which is the easiest and safest way to assualt it. Once the Seals have clearedthe beach, land the chopper and get the engineers off of it. When yourparatroop drop is charged, drop them right here with your other units. (Youmight want to let it charge two or three times, too, so you have plenty of GIsfor the assault on the base.)

Take a GI and move west, making sure you stay far enough away from the oreminers to avoid getting killed. Sneak above the wall at the edge of the Sovietbase, where you’ll find some barrels. Quickly destroy one of the barrelsbefore the Flak Track kills you – you’ll probably be killed from the resultingexplosion, but it’s not really important.

Now that there’s a gap in the wall, you can safely send the rest of your troopsinto the base. Sneak along the top of the wall just like you did before,avoiding the guns on the ore miners. Use a Seal to clear out the dogs andinfantry in the area, and have him detonate the first few Soviet buildings youcan reach. Don’t detonate the Soviet Prism Tower though – it can be useful toyou later. As you move farther west along the top of the base, you’ll find alarge temple. Garrison it with ten GIs, and it’ll become a great defensiveasset. Keep the rest of your units safely behind it. Destroy the Soviet PrismTower above and to the left of the temple.

By now, your two Grizzlies are probably both fully leveled up, so send themdown towards the top of the Soviet base. Punch a hole in the wall, then shootthe explosive barrels to clear out another large chunk of the base. Blastanything else you can safely reach, but avoid confronting the Soviet Rhinos.They’ll tear you to shreds despite your high level. Instead, try to lure theRhinos to your garrisoned temple with a GI or a Seal.

South of your Temple, you’ll find a pair of ore refineries. Destroy them both,but leave the construction yard and power plants. Make sure the area is clear,then send your engineers in. Capture the construction yard and two powerplants, then use the fourth engineer to capture the southern Soviet Prism Towerclone. Build a barracks immediately, then use Tesla troops along with yourSeals to defend your newly-acquired base.

The Soviets, of course, won’t like this. They’ll send basically everythingthey have at your buildings, so take advantage of this distraction and destroytheir barracks and war factory with one of your Seals or your Grizzlies.Destroy the remaining buildings and units on the map, and the mission will beover.

Mission Objectives Location: Black Forest, Germany
——————

1) Ensure the safety of Professor Einstein’s laboratory.

Einstein’s lab is in the small base in the south-west corner of the map. It’spoorly defended, so you’ll need to either reinforce it or prevent any Sovietforces from reaching it.

2) Destroy all Soviet forces.

– Everything, both units and structures, needs to be destroyed before themission will end.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Your base will be attacked fairly hard very soon after the mission starts, somake sure you’re ready to repair buildings as they get hit. Make sure you getyour Rocketeers off of the ground early, since they’ll be the easiest way totake out the hoard of V3 Rockets the Soviets send your way.

Once the rush is destroyed, crank out four or more ore miners. Send the MCVfrom your base down to Einstein’s area and deploy it, then place a second orerefinery there and redirect some of your new ore miners to it. You can rake inmoney like crazy once you’ve got the second refinery ready, especially once youbuild a Battle Lab and Ore Purifier.

Now that you’ve got money flowing in faster than you can spend it, startmass-producing Prism Tanks at your base (build multiple war factories to speedthe process up). When you get twenty or so of them, make your way to the groupof Soviet bases and pulverize the place. Destroy every last Soviet unit andstructure on the map to finish the mission.

2) Neutralize the Soviet Nuclear threat on Cuba.

– Thankfully, you won’t need to completely destroy the Soviet base on Cuba.All you have to do is destroy the three Nuclear Missile Silos on the island,which you can do quite easily with three small groups of Prism Tanks and theChronosphere.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

This is by far the most difficult mission you’ve seen so far, so you’ll need tomove fast if you want to win it (especially if you want to win before the threenuclear missiles blast your base into oblivion). Have your dolphins free thecruise ship, then let your boats sit there for now. Start building a warfactory, a Patriot battery, two Seals, and four Rocketeers. Garrison the twobuildings on the eastern beach with the GIs that start in your base.

Your primary concern early on should be getting four Patriots set up along thesouth-western side of your base. If you don’t, the dreadnoughts that willarrive shortly will absolutely decimate your base before you even get started.While you’re dropping those down, grab your northern and southern ore minersand send them to your main base, then sell both of the other ore refineries aswell as the buildings around them. (Send the GIs that pop out to the nearbycivilian structures, it’ll help buy you some time.)

When your war factory is done, build two more ore miners. Send the Seals andRocketeers to the southern bridge in your base to defend the attack that comesfrom the lower island, then send the Rocketeers to your ore field when they’redone. Terror Drones will attack your miners, so you’ll want the Rocketeersthere to defend them.

Next, you’ll want to line a row of Prism Towers along the top of your basewhile you build a Battle Lab, Ore Purifier, and Chronosphere (make sure youbuild plenty of power plants, too). Apocalypse tanks will come in from theupper bridge, and you’ll want the Prism Towers to deal with them quickly.

By the time your Chronosphere is charged, you should have five or more PrismTanks ready to shift. Group them tightly together, then select the center onewith the Chronosphere icon to shift them together. Your destination is thearea south-west of the Soviet base, where the barrels are lined up along thewall. Target the barrels first, then target the closest Nuclear Missile.Don’t expect to get more than one of the silos with only a few Prism Tanks -you’ll have to come back at least one more time, probably two.

Concentrate on defending your base while your Chronosphere recharges, andcontinue building more Prism Tanks to shift. When the Chronosphere is readyagain, shift another group of six to the lower-right corner of the Soviet base(outside the walls, obviously). Target the closest silo, then attempt to getthe third one if possible. If not, repeat the process and return with anothergroup when the Chronosphere is ready again. This time, approach from thelower-left, since there should already be a nice clear hole there from yourfirst attempt. Once all three silos are gone, the mission is over.

Mission Objectives Location: Moscow, Russia
——————

1) Clear the area so Chrono Reinforcements can arrive.

– Detonating the single power plant right next to your starting area willaccomplish this objective. Must’ve been one hell of a power plant to powerthat many Tesla Coils by itself… >_>

2) Eliminate Romanov’s Elite Black Guard around the Kremlin.

– Black Guard in the literal sense. All you have to do is destroy the blackunits and structures surrounding the Kremlin, though doing that will be prettyhard unless you destroy at least some of other Soviet stuff in the area first.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

There’s nothing you can really do to avoid getting hit by the first nuclearmissile, so don’t worry too much about the timer for now. Detonate the powerplant with a Seal, then wait for your reinforcements to arrive. Deploy the MCVin the fenced area, and use the IFVs to destroy the Tesla Coils around the basearea. Knock down the fence in the north-west corner to free the infantry, too.

Get a power plant and a barracks built before building your ore refinery, anduse the two engineers from the fenced area to capture two of the oil derricksalong the base walls. Build two more engineers to take the other two, andbuild six more GIs while you’re at it. Send the six from the fenced area toone of the bunkers on the east entrance of your base.

Here’s the secret to surviving this mission – the computer will always targetyour war factory with the nuke. As long as you plan ahead and build your warfactory far away from your other buildings, you won’t lose much from the nukewhen it finally falls. With that in mind, start building your base. A few other things to keep in mind for this mission:

– Kirovs. Lots of them. You’ll want to keep that pile of IFVs they gave youpositioned in the south corner of your base, between the two oil derricks. Youmight also want to consider building some Patriots down there just in case, anddefinitely some Prism Towers to fend off the Apocalypse tanks.

– Iron Curtain. It’s not nearly as devastating as the nuke, but you shouldstill be prepared for it. From the computer’s perspective, it’s most ideal touse it when they can get a group of their units in it at the same time. Fromyour perspective, then, it becomes a good idea to stop groups of units fromreaching your base (since they tend to only use it when they have forces atyour base). If the countdown is reaching zero, watch out for groups of unitsheaded your way, and blast them before they reach you. Let one unit reach thebase, and the computer might waste it on it.

– Oil derricks. They’ll be your primary source of income, so protect them atall costs. Once you get going in the mission, you should consider capturingsome of the ones outside your base as well to increase your funds.

With those things in mind, protect your base while you build up your tech.When your Chronosphere and Lightning Storm are both ready, launch the LightningStorm at the Nuclear Missile Silo, then Chronoshift a group of Prism Tanks nextto the silo to finish it off. Repeat the process for the Iron Curtain.

With those out of the way, you’re free to crank out Prism Tanks and MirageTanks. Remember – you don’t need to destroy every Soviet unit on the map tofinish the mission, just the black units around the Kremlin. Punch a holethrough the Soviet lines until you reach the fort around the Kremlin, but becareful when you attack the Black Guard. Those fully leveled Apocalypse tankscan cause some serious damage.

Luckily, the computer’s not very smart – it won’t fire at stationary Miragetanks. Place some of them between your prism tanks and the apocalypse tanks,fire once with a prism tank, then retreat the prism tanks. The apocalypsetanks will chase them, but they’ll be gunned down by the Mirage tanks.

Use your Mirage Tanks to finish clearing out the area around the Kremlin. Ifyou use Prism Tanks, you run the risk of accidentally destroying the Kremlin,which you don’t want to do.

1) Destroy the Pentagon.

– This will be easier than you think – as soon as you breach the outer ring ofdefenses, massive Soviet reinforcements will arrive to help you destroy thebuilding.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

You’ll need to build a power plant, barracks, and an ore refinery (optional,but highly recommended), then build a few Engineers. Gather your Conscriptsand head north, then use an Engineer to fix the damaged bridge. Flatten thesmall American base here to gain free experience with your Conscripts, then fixthe next bridge and cross into the larger American base.

Destroy everything here to gain more free experience, then use one of theEngineers to capture the airfield. Use the other one to fix the bridge to theupper-left of the base, then move a unit towards the water to receive somereinforcements – four Rhino tanks.

Send the Rhinos down to the base, then turn north and cross the bridge to thePentagon. Destroy the pill boxes with either the Rhinos or Conscripts, andmake your way closer to the Pentagon. Reinforcements will arrive, which willmake the destruction of the building much easier. Simply highlight a group ofRhinos and target each section of the building until they’re all destroyed.

– Once your forces exit the transports, use them to level the Allied base inthe area using the conveniently-placed barrels. Deploy your MCV, then startbuilding your base.

2) Destroy all enemy forces.

– Every single Allied unit on the map needs to be gone before the mission willbe complete.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

The transports will dump your units onto the shore for you. Use them to dealwith the Grizzlies in the area, then clean out the Allied structures and deployyour MCV. Get an ore refinery running as close to the northern ore field aspossible, then concentrate on getting a few more ore miners. You’ll also wantto get a pair of Engineers into the oil derricks on the top of the screen nearthe middle of the map.

Grizzlies will attack your base constantly, so build a few more Rhinos beforeyou start cranking out submarines (you’ll want about ten of them altogether).When the Soviet Dreadnought retreats, you’ll receive some reinforcement subs.Add these to your pile, then head south and destroy the Allied Destroyer fleet.Concentrate on Rhinos after that, and simply crush the Allied base to thesouth once you get twenty or so of them. A few more conveniet barrels willmake things go a little faster, too, so don’t forget to target them.

1) Capture the American Battle Lab.

– You need to get an Engineer into the Battle Lab, which will result in itbeing turned into the Psychic Beacon. Don’t let the lab get destroyed.

2) Build and defend a Psychic Beacon.

– It’ll build automatically once you capture the Battle Lab, then hoards ofAllied troops will assault your position in an attempt to destroy the beaconbefore it can be used. Make sure you build about ten Flak troopers and placethem around the Battle Lab before you take it – otherwise, pesky Rocketeerswill shred it rather quickly. You’ll also want to make sure you have a healthysupply of Rhinos to deal with the onslaught of Grizzles and IFVs that attack.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Build another power plant all the way on the south edge of your base area.This will allow you to place an ore refinery near the southern ore field,allowing for faster cash collection. Get a second one going by the ore fieldin your base while you build a trio of Engineers to take the oil derricks tothe east. Stock the building just north of the oil derricks with Conscripts todefend the derricks and the entrance to your base.

You’ll be given some psychic commandos, but they’re not too effective on theirown. Build several V3 Rockets to go with them, then spam Rhinos. Move thecommandos through the city towards the Battle Lab, carefully looking ahead tosee pill boxes and garrisoned buildings (which your V3 Rockets will turn todust easily). The commandos can be used to take control of nearby units, souse them to handle the infantry and IFVs you encounter along the way.

When you have about twenty or so Rhinos, build a Flak Track and stick a fewEngineers in it, then send it with the Rhinos to assault the base near theWorld Trade Center towers. Don’t destroy the base, though – just destroy theunits and defensive structures in it. Capture the barracks with an Engineer,set it to Primary, and build a dozen or so Flak troopers. Rocketeers are goingto attack, and you’ll want to be well-prepared.

Make sure your Rhinos are in position just barely south of the base, thencapture the Battle Lab with an Engineer. You’ll now be tasked with defendingthe beacon until it has time to initiate, so be alert. Rocketeers should bethe first wave, but your Flak troopers will shred them easily. Next will comea stream of GIs, Grizzlies, and IFVs from the west and the south. Use yourGrizzlies to stall them for a few minutes, which is all you really need – itdoesn’t take long for the beacon to activate, and the mission is over once itdoes regardless of the condition of your army.

1) Establish a base. Defend the homeland.

– Deploy your MCV and get an ore refinery running, then build a barracks.Fill both of the houses on the east side of your base with Conscripts, then geta pile of ten or so Flak troopers and have them stand around the lighthouse todefend against enemy aircraft.

2) Destroy all enemy forces.

– The Allied base will be shown on your radar once it appears. Destroy everystructure and unit over there, including boats, to finish the mission.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

The Allied navy that will arrive when the countdown reaches zero isn’t really anaval threat – it just drops troops east of your base. Therefore, don’t bothertrying to crank out a lot of submarines before the counter reaches zero.Instead, get a ore refinery running, then build a barracks and train tenConscripts, which you should use to garrison the two buildings on the east sideof your base. Also build ten Flak troopers, and have them crowd around themiddle of your base (probably near the lighthouse). They’ll make short work ofthose pesky Allied planes.

Once you have a war factory running, make sure you build a few more ore miners.After that, build a group of six or more submarines and four transports. Loadone transport full of engineers, one full of Flak troopers, and two full ofRhino tanks. Begin the slow journey to the other side of the ocean with thesubs and transports, but don’t land right away. Use the subs to clear out theAllied destroyers first, and destroy the Allied naval yard if they’ve built onealready.

Make sure you have a war factory and a Flak Cannon ready to be placed, thenland the Rhinos, Flak troopers, and engineers just barely south-west of theAllied construction yard. Clear the GIs out with the Rhinos, and let the Flaktroopers handle the Rocketeers while your engineers capture the constructionyard and any other buildings they can live long enough to reach.

Now that you have control of the construction yard, you can use it to place thewar factory and flak cannon you already have built. Do so, then set the warfactory to primary and start cranking out more Rhinos. Build sentry guns andmore flak cannons if necessary, but you probably won’t need them. The rest ofthe Allied base will fall easily from your Rhino group. Hunt down every enemyunit on the map, including ore miners and boats, and the mission will be over.

– When you have Tesla Troopers standing close enough to a Tesla Coil, they usetheir Tesla Suits to give the coil additional power. The same premise appliesfor the Paris Tower, only on a much, much larger scale.

2) Defend the PARIS TOWER from Allied attack.

– The Paris Tower is pretty strong… you can let them sit there and pound onit for several minutes if you’d like, but don’t let it get destroyed.

3) Defeat all remaining Allied troops.

– I’m not sure what exactly qualifies as defeating all remaining Allied troopsin this mission, since there were clearly units and structures left when thisobjective was complete… Basically, if you manage to charge the tower, you’llwin the mission.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Your first objective should be to clear a path to the west and capture the oilderrick there. Use a group of five Conscripts to garrison houses along theway, wiping out GIs and pill boxes. You can also attach bombs to the trucksmoving through the city with your Crazy Ivan, but the timing can be a littletricky.

Tesla Troopers are your best friends in this mission, so once you have controlof the derrick, start training as many of them as possible. Move north-westfrom the oil derrick and clear the Allied units from the field, then approachthe water to receive some reinforcements. Have the the transport move norththrough the water, then land above the tower to find a Flak Track with morereinforcements.

When you’re ready, gather your forces at the south-west corner of the the wallssurrounding the tower. Use Conscripts to enter buildings close to the pillboxes to do as much damage to them as possible, then finish them off with TeslaTroopers if necessary. Approach the tower when you’re ready, and get yourTesla Troopers as close to it as possible to charge it. Now just let it workits magic, and the mission should end on its own. If not, start hunting downremaining units and structures on the map.

2) Destroy the Allied Navy.

– Destroy the Korean reinforcement fleet along with the American boats inPearl Harbor. You don’t need to destroy any of the land forces, nor do youneed to destroy the shipyards. You don’t have to destroy the coast guard boatson the far western side of the map, either.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Deploy your MCV, then immediately build a barracks. Stick your Conscripts backinto one of the transports, then move it west until you find a tiny island witha bunker on it. Make the Conscripts garrison the bunker, and a crate of moneywill appear on the island. Grab it, then train an engineer and stick him inthe second transport. Send it all the way to the south-west corner of the map.

Build a standard base as fast as you can, focusing on getting a war factory andradar station, then placing some Tesla Coils near the top of your base. Whenthe Engineer reaches the island in the south-east, have him take control of theairfield, then scout the island for crates with the transport (there should befour money crates on the island). The Allies will try to take the island back,but a single Tesla Coil above the airfield will stop them. Or you can just letthem take it, it doesn’t really matter once you have the money crates.

Meanwhile, build a pair of naval yards at your base, then pump out submarinesas fast as you can. Park your existing boats on the left side of yourgarrisoned bunker – the Korean fleet will try to move right through here later.Make sure you send your reinforcement boats to the same spot, and send any newboats that you build there as well. When the Koreans arrive, slaughter themall before they can make it to Pearl Harbor.

Once they’re gone, turn westward and scout ahead with your Sea Scorpions. Whenyou encounter a pair of Aegis Cruisers on the southern edge of the island, takecare of them with your subs. The entrance to Pearl Harbor is just barely westof their location, so carefully edge that way with the Sea Scorpions. TwoPrism Towers are guarding the entrance, so as soon as you can see them, targetthem both with your Dreadnoughts.

Enter the harbor with the submarines and the Sea Scorpions now, and destroyanything that moves (target the destroyers first, of course). Use theDreadnoughts to hit stationary boats, like the aircraft carriers, before theycan move. Once every boat in the harbor is destroyed, you’ll win the mission.

1) Defend your Battle Lab at all costs.

– If it gets destroyed or captured at all, you lose instantly. I highly,highly suggest surrounding it with walls right off the bat to prevent engineersfrom snaking it out from under you.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Train four Engineers as you build a second power plant, and build walls aroundthe Battle Lab. Build an ore refinery at the top of your base, then build apair of Flak Cannons – one on the right of the Battle Lab, and one south of theconstruction yard. When the Engineers are ready, send them east all the way toedge of the map. You’ll find three oil derricks and a repair bay over there,so capture them all.

Build plenty of power plants, a war factory, and a radar station, then startcranking out Apocalypse tanks as fast as possible. You’ll want at least two ofthem at all three entrances to your base before the third wave arrives, andyou’ll want considerably more of them at all three entrances later. Luckilly,you can find sometimes get a money crate if you destroy the propaganda truck inthe village to the north-west, and there’re always two money crates in theAllied camp to the south-east if you destroy the tents. You’ll definitely wantto grab those as early as possible. Allied convoy trucks also occasionallyrun from the north to the south side of the map on the road east of your base,and if you intercept them, you can find more crates.

As I mentioned earlier, the key to this mission is the Apocalypse tank. Buildthem constantly, don’t even worry about base defense. Tesla Coils areworthless against Prism Tanks, which is by far the biggest threat to your base.When possible, I suggest defending the upper-right corner of your base from theforest on the other side of the hills, so that the Prism Tanks won’t even getthe chance to take a shot at your Battle Lab.

Sit tight with your Apocalypse pile and crush wave after wave of Allied units,and the battle will eventually end on its own.

When you have six or so Apocalypse tanks ready, head east and make raids on theenemy ore refineries and ore miners. Watch out for Terror Drones though, oryou’ll lose your tanks left and right. You can destroy other monuments andimportant buildings in the area to get more quick money, but don’t worry aboutdestroying the southern emeny base.

1) Use Mind-Control to capture the President.

– You have to take control of him (he’s standing right below the limo) withone of your Psi-Ops guys. As you’ll probably notice, the base is crawling withdogs, and it’s surrounded by Prism Towers, so you’ll need to deal with both ofthose threats to reach the president.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

By the time you get control of your units, one of them will already havecontrol of an IFV, which is good. Set it aside along with the Psi-Ops guy thattook it, and send the second Psi-Ops guy up to the left side of the smallAllied base. Take control of the left GI from the safety of the other side ofthe wall, then take control of the second GI when the first one dies. Send thesecond one to his untimely death at the Alamo, then take each of the Engineersand capture both buildings. Build two Spies.

Send all of your units down the left side of the map now, avoiding the peskyarmed Texans (or just killing them). Keep as far away from the Prism Towers aspossible, and make your way to the south end of the map, directly below thebase. Leave your infantry here, but send the IFV east. See the small encasedarea with the repair bay? Blast the gate open with the IFV, then destroy allof the trucks in there. Three have money, one has a firepower upgrade, one hasan armor upgrade, and one has a veterancy upgrade. You’ll now have a super-IFVcapable of causing some serious destruction, so send it north to the small basethere.

Destroy the pill boxes, then destroy the GIs, patriot, Grizzly, and NightHawk.Don’t kill the Sniper, though. Send the super-IFV back down to the rest ofyour units (make sure you stay away from the Prism Towers), then send thePsi-Ops guy that’s still free up the right side of the screen. Carefullyapproach the sniper from the right side of the small base, and take control ofhim from the safety of the other side of the wall.

Use the sniper to pick off the dogs and GIs on patrol around the base, and usehim to pick off the dogs and Seals at both entrances. Meanwhile, blow a holein the center of the south wall with your super-IFV, then carefully move it allthe way around the base to the very top (where you should now have your sniperwaiting). Blast a hole in the center of the wall on the top, too.

If you’re sure there aren’t any dogs left, send one of your spies into a powerplant from the hole you made in the south wall. The base will go low power,so use this time to snipe the rest of the infantry in the base with yoursniper. Make sure you keep very tight control of him though, or he’ll shootthe president, which will end the game instantly. (Also note that you have toselect a spy, then target an enemy unit to get it to disguise itself. If not,he’ll be seen by any enemy unit.)

Now only the president and maybe some Grizzlies should be left in the base.Send the second spy into a power plant once the power comes back online, thensend a Psi-Ops guy in after him to take control of the president, ending themission.

2) Destroy the Weather Control Device.

– A single nuke dropped dead-center on top of it will completely destroy it,so I suggest you wait until the nuke is ready to launch before you capture theBattle Lab.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

Deploy your MCV and put the Engineer back inside a transport. Send him eastalong the bottom of the screen until you find an island covered in gems, thencapture the repair bay there and place your first ore refinery there. Build aTesla Coil while you’re at it, and place in between the power plant and radarstation. This is also a good spot to park your Rhinos and Conscripts.

Get a second ore refinery going to the left of your MCV, and build several FlakCannons. Stick the first one on the ridge north of the repair bay above yourradar station, then stick one next to the radar station. The others should beas far to the west of your base as possible.

Now that you’re set defensively, get your war factory and battle lab going,then get a nuclear missile silo and a naval yard. Crank out submarines andApocalypse tanks after you’ve built a pair of ore miners. After you have tenor so submarines, build six or so Sea Scorpions and two Dreadnoughts. Moveyour navy north and then east now, leading with the submarines with the SeaScorpions close behind.

Slice your way through the Allied navy until you reach the landing zone, thentake care of the Allied naval yard there. Use the Dreadnoughts to take out thePrism Towers, Patriots, and pill boxes, as well as any units that might stillbe in the area. Load about ten Apocalypse tanks into transports and land themon the beach when you’re ready. (Oh, and if your nuclear missile is readybefore you’re ready to land, use it to destroy as much of the base in front ofthe Battle Lab as possible, but be very careful not to destroy the lab.)

The Apocalypse tanks will be able to handle the Allied base easily, so clear itout. Send an Engineer over on a transport once the area is free of Alliedforces, and capture the Battle Lab when your nuclear missile is ready to drop.When the Battle Lab reveals the location of the Weather Control Device, dropyour nuclear missile right on top of it, and the mission will be over.

Mission Objectives Location: Moscow, Russia
——————

1) Destroy Yuri’s headquarters – The Kremlin.

– For reason’s you’ll soon discover, destroying the Kremlin won’t be an easytask. The fastest way is to just solidify your base, then wait for yournuclear missile to charge twice. You can also spam Kirovs, but the formidableamount of Flak Cannons around the Kremlin will make that a slow and painfulprocess.

———–
Walkthrough
———–

If you’re playing this on Hard mode, you’re in for perhaps the most annoyingfight in the entire game. I suggest you take a defensive route through thismission, then use your nuclear missile to finish off the Kremlin (it’ll taketwo hits).

Immediately build a power plant and an ore refinery, and send your tanks northwhile the ore refinery is building. Destroy the Tesla Coil, then destroy thetwo flak cannons. With that threat eliminated, you can set up your primarydefense for the early part of the mission – move your two Kirovs to the east,then have them force-fire (control key) at the ground between the first houseyou see and the cliff directly above that house. The bombs will slaughter anyinfantry that try to make their way to your base, and they’ll also take outsome of the terror drones and other vehicles.

Meanwhile, send your Conscripts north-west and garrison all of the houses onthat side of the map. (Don’t go too far north, or you’ll get hit by the TeslaCoils on the cliffs.) Continue building your base to reach up to these houses,since you’ll want to be able to build Tesla Coils up here later. Get anEngineer in the oil derrick as soon as possible, and then start spamming TeslaCoils on the north-east side of the oil derrick.

The trick to this mission is surviving the iron curtain. The worst thing Yurican do is iron curtain a group of terror drones, which can slaughter your oreminers. If you can destroy everything before it gets close to your base,though, Yuri tends to either hold on to the iron curtain or use it on somethingelse.

As you start to accumulate more and more money, you should start upping yourKirov count. As soon as one of the original two completely levels up, replaceit with a new one and move the fully leveled one to your western defenses. Isuggest you repeat this process until you have six fully leveled up Kirovs.Meanwhile, concentrate on building Tesla Coils, manning them with TeslaTroopers, and surrounding them with walls. When you have four or five in thenorth-west, concentrate on Flak Cannons.

Why? As soon as you build your nuclear missile, Yuri’s going to send waves ofKirovs at your base – three from the west and three from the east. You’ll needabout ten flak cannons in the north-west by the oil derrick to stop the Kirovsbefore they reach your base, and another ten on the eastern side of your baseto stop the other group. You can also use Apocalypse Tanks if you’d like,since their missiles are just as effective (if not more effective) than flakcannons.

Either way, when you have the flak cannons/Apocalypse Tanks ready, deploy thenuclear missile. Let it charge twice, and use it on the Kremlin both times toend the mission without forcing your way through the Soviet defenses.

——————
Mission Objectives Location: Point Hope, Alaska
——————

1) Destroy the Chronosphere.

– Unfortunately, the Chronosphere won’t be easy to reach. It’s protected byhills, walls, tons of Prism Towers, and even more Patriot batteries. A Kirovswarm sent from the beach up the hill to the west is your best bet, but you’llneed about ten of them just to live long enough to see the Chronosphere.

Walkthrough
———–

Your primary concern should be to defend your base from chronosphere attacks.The first will be a group of IFVs on the right side of your ore field, thesecond will be a group of Grizzlies above your radar station. They arrivefast, too, so don’t waste any time. Start building an ore refinery as soon asthe mission starts, and start building a Tesla Coil. Of course, Tesla Coilsalone won’t be enough to stop the first two attacks, so train four Crazy Ivanstoo.

Position the Ivans near where the chrono attacks are going to appear, then putthem on guard mode. The result is devastating, but you’ll still want as manyTesla Coils as possible (I can usually get three up before the tanks arrive).It’s also a good idea to man each Tesla Coil with a pair of Tesla Troopers, sothey can wipe out a vehicle in a single shot.

You’ll also want several flak cannons, at least one in the lower-left of yourbase and at least one more in the upper-left. A fourth Tesla Coil in the verybottom-left of your base is also a must, since a transport full of Seals willarrive eventually. You’ll also want a Yuri at the top or your ore field,which you can use to take control of the aircraft carrier that’s going to bechronoshifted there after the transport arrives.

After the carrier arrives, things will calm down in your base. You’ll stillneed some fairly strong anti-aircraft defense around your ore field, but otherthan that, concentrate on building your base. When you have a naval yard,build six subs, four Sea Scorpions, and a pair of Dreadnoughts to go with yourcarrier. Head west slowly, keeping the Scorpions close to the subs as youwipe out the Allied Destroyers and Cruisers around both naval yards.

Use the carrier and Dreadnoughts to flatten the Allied defenses on the beach,then load six or so Apocalypse Tanks into transports and land on the beach.Use them to clear anything that’s left, then land an MCV on the beach and startbuilding a second base. Get some flak cannons first, then a war factory. Geta few more Apocalypse Tanks to defend your base, then begin cranking out aridiculous number of Kirovs.

Flatten the nearby Allied building with your Apocalypse Tanks, but be verycareful around the cliffs – Prism Towers will devastate your tanks if you gettoo close. Also, watch out for Mirage Tanks near the Allied ore refinery.Those thing can shred your Apocalypse Tanks in no time.

The Allies will use the Chronosphere to make groups of IFVs appear in the orefield to the west, so keep your Apocalypse Tanks ready. They’ll also send downgroups of Prism Tanks from the north, so make sure you keep an eye out. Whenyou’ve got ten or more Kirovs (the more the better), send them west over thecliffs and attack the Allied base. If you attack at the very bottom, youshould be able to take out the Patriots as they become visible, which shouldgive you a chance to rebuild your health bars.

Of course, if you have a ton of Kirovs, you can just ignore the Patriots andrush straight at the Chronosphere. Either way, destroy it, and the mission’sover.

| | | |
| —————————————– |
=============================================================================

If you’ve tried a skirmish game or if you’ve tried to play online, you’ve mostlikely noticed that you can choose from nine different countries when youstart – five Allies and four Soviets. How are they different? Well, theyaren’t really all that different, but each country has a unique ability, whichI’ll explain here.

——-
America (Allies)
——-

– When you play as America, your Air Force Command HQ will give you aparatrooper ability that will count down on your defense tab. When the timerreaches zero, you’ll be able to call in a cargo plane to paradrop eight GIs toa location of your choice. Be careful where you drop them, though – they’lldie if they land over water, even if it’s just the edge of the beach.

——-
Britain (Allies)
——-

– When you play as Britain, you’ll be able to train Sniper infantry units.These guys are armed with a powerful rifle that can instantly kill infantryfrom a huge distance. Stick one in an IFV, and you’ll have a ridiculousinfantry killing machine.

—-
Cuba (Soviets)
—-

– Cuba can train Terrorists, which are just unarmed infantry units with bombsstrapped to them. Target something, and the Terrorist will run at it anddetonate himself on it. The blast is quite powerful considering the cost oftwo hundred credits. A Flak Track full of these guys can do some seriousdamage if you manage to make it inside an enemy base.

——
France (Allies)
——

– France can construct the Grand Cannon defensive structure, which is a large(and very powerful) turret with great range. A few of these things closetogether can slaughter anything that tries to attack from the ground, but becareful – they require power to operate. They’re also completely defenselessagainst air attacks. Another thing to watch out for – be careful how close youput them to each other and to other buildings. They can sometimes get theirturret stuck on a nearby structure, rendering the cannon useless.

——-
Germany (Allies)
——-

– Germany can build Tank Destroyers, small vehicles armed with a powerfulanti-tank weapon. The shots from Tank Destroyers are absolutely devastating tovehicles, but they’re worthless against buildings and infantry. You’ll want touse these as support units rather than core units.

—-
Iraq (Soviets)
—-

– Iraq can train Desolators, an interesting infantry unit armed with a toxicrifle of some form. The shots it fires will kill infantry instantly from agood distance, but they won’t do anything to vehicles and buildings. TheDesolator can also use a deploy command that will make it spread radiation inthe immediate area around it, which will kill infantry in the area. They won’tbe able to move while deployed, though, and it still won’t damage buildings orvehicles.

—–
Korea (Allies)
—–

– Korea can make Black Eagles instead of Harriers – they’re the same as theHarrier, just with better stats.

—–
Libya (Soviets)
—–

– Libya can construct Demolition Trucks, which are trucks with small bombs onthem. When targeted, the truck simply drives to the target and detonates onit, causing damage in a large area in the process.

——
Russia (Soviets)
——

– Tesla Tanks are Russia’s specialty. Very lightly armored and not exactlypowerful, Tesla Tanks are a massive let-down. They’re only major benefit isthat they can shoot over concrete, but that’s rarely even all that helpful.
