C&C Red Alert 2 Hard - Allies - Operation: Mirage 1/2
26Part 1/2 of Operation: Mirage in my C&C Red Alert 2 Hard - Allies walkthrough.
As I said earlier in a previous mission, this is my favourite one. Three reasonable bases to contend with (though after a couple of attacks they're done). The best thing to do on this level is reinforce your starting base with extra defence. 1/2 Patriots by your existing ones, 5-10 GIs by the two northern corners of the wall and a couple of Rocketeers to deal with V3s would do.
If you can hold the base it's all good from here on out really. Claim the south eastern Refinery as well as the Chrono Miner crate, also claim the Tech Outpost as well as the crate on the tiny man sized island just north of it and place another Refinery by the Outpost. You should also later place one in your first base as well as by your base surrounding Einstein's Lab. Add a second Miner to each, and you'll have 8 Miners in total, which provides PLENTY of income.
For defending Einstein's base, just build around the wall with Power Plants and other structures and surround the Lab and Chronosphere with about 5 Patriots to deal with any loose V3s. Place a couple of Prism Towers and Pillboxes and later a couple more Mirage Tanks to deal with their forces. Another good place for your Mirages is by the trees at your base as they will decimate the Apocalypses the enemy uses later.
It's tempting to place a Spy Satellite as soon as you can, but it instantly triggers Apocalypse Tanks from the Red base. Wait for them to naturally trigger and then build the Spy Satellite, get the Ore Purifier earlier instead and prepare forces for your attack (to increase your already great income).
Play about with this level if you want, let them attack a few times so you can practice defending. There won't be anything too serious, but it's a nice map with plenty of money on it, and It will help you for the last level of the campaign, and the penultimate Soviet one.
