Walkthrough

1
Build one or two Kirov Airships.
2
When enemy armor approaches your base, deploy the Kirov Airships to bomb them.
3
Enemy armor will not survive for long against the Kirov Airships' bombs.
4
Allied IFVs can be used against you, but they are easily crushed by your bombs.
5
Do not send your own tanks with the Kirov Airships, as they will be destroyed by your own bombs.

Tips

If the enemy uses Kirov Airships against you, build as many IFVs (Infantry Fighting Vehicles) as possible and bring them along to counter.
Alternatively, use Chrono Legionaires as your attacking units, as they can outrun the Kirov Airships.
Refer to the advanced Strategies Section for the Allies for more details on the Chrono Legionaire Rush.
