Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 - Soviets Mission 12 - Polar Storm
1I had a choice to make here: slight cheese and a relatively short playthrough, or roll up onto their shore line, set up an MCV and duke it out man to man and tank to tank (meaning a 1 hour + video) - I chose cheese ;) I think overwhelming force from sea and air is more fitting to how the Soviets would approach the mission (plus dropping the odd nukes hahaha) although I do think the more historically accurate approach would be to throw infantry and tanks straight at them...
Speaking of historical accuracy, we used giant squids so I think the cheese approach is fine...
This is deceptively tough - getting established on that little spit of land is actually quite tough. Placing your Tesla coils centrally seems to do the trick. Plus getting your air defences up early, even a couple of Flak Troopers is key. I actually recorded this twice - the first attempt ended with my Ore Refinery being blown to smithereens by waves of Allied fighters.
Not establishing a second base (for income) is a bit of a risk for the approach I chose - pretty much run out of credits and had just enough Kirov's before the money ran out.
Anyways...
We have found the last feeble Allied stronghold. Their Chronosphere, now fully operational, can move soldiers anywhere in the world. They can strike at us in New York, in Prague, even in Moscow. Yuri's files show the device is located near Point Hope, Alaska. You must take what few forces we have in the area and lead an attack, before the Allies make use of their cowardly technology. This is the final hour, commander. Glory awaits.
