This guide covers the missions for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, detailing strategies for each objective, unit deployment, and base management.
Mission #1
- Use Tanya (Unit 1) to destroy boats and assist GI's against Conscripts. Keep GI's deployed.
- After air-dropped Conscripts are dealt with, undeploy GI's (Unit 2) and move Tanya and GI's left across the bridge.
- Move Tanya up and right to assist GI's, then up and left to find a crate.
- While Tanya moves, redeploy GI's from Unit 2 to new GI's, forming one unit and moving them up-right to a McBurger Kong.
- Move Tanya right and up to another crate, then to the McBurger Kong.
- Have GI's enter the McBurger Kong, then the gas station to its right. Garrison these to automatically defeat air-dropped Conscripts.
- Send Tanya to the Fort. Once captured, deploy attack dogs to intercept Soviet troop drops and protect the Chrono Harvester.
- Build a barracks. Train two Engineers and 15 GI's.
- Have the first Engineer fix the bridge.
- Move Tanya across the bridge, eliminating troops and shooting barrels near the warehouse. Avoid sentry guns.
- Use Tanya to clear a path to the Soviet war factory and the bottom-left of the base. Capture one with an Engineer.
- Use GI's to destroy V3 rocket launchers.
- After capturing the war factory, build tanks. Use 2-3 tanks to destroy remaining guns, then the last V3.
- Have Tanya destroy the Soviet base.
Mission #2
- Have Tanya eliminate Conscripts. Do not pick up the initial crate.
- When Rocketeers appear, move them to the far bottom-left of the map to find two more.
- Move Rocketeers to the top-left to eliminate 3 Conscripts and an attack dog.
- Move Tanya and crew to pick up the money crate.
- Move Rocketeers to the top-right.
- After Tanya's group picks up the crate, move them to the top-right as well.
- Move Rocketeers down to an ore patch and destroy Soviet ore miners. Then, eliminate Conscripts and a tank.
- Move Tanya to the ore patch, then down to the lake. Swim across, kill the lone Conscript, and move into the base to destroy Flak Guns.
- With Flak Guns destroyed, move Rocketeers in to destroy Sentry Guns and the Guard House, avoiding damage to the base.
- Move in remaining troops. As Engineers are paradropped, begin recapturing your base.
- Build a Power Plant, 4 Chrono Mines, and 15 Rocketeers.
- After miners are built, start building tanks.
- When you have 20-25 tanks, group them and move them back to the starting point to grab a crate. Continue building tanks.
- Move tanks right to destroy three trucks and pick up crates.
- Move tanks right again, then up to the far side of the Soviet base, near barrels by the wall.
- Move Rocketeers down to an enemy ore patch and kill the miners.
- Use tanks to shoot the barrels, then move in to destroy the MCV and power plants.
- Move in Rocketeers to destroy the remaining Soviet forces.
Mission #3
- Build a Power Plant. Garrison the building next to the first bridge with GI's.
- Move remaining GI's to the next bridge and garrison the building next to it.
- Build a Barracks. Train 3 Engineers and repair the three garrisoned buildings.
- Build an Ore Refinery, then a War Factory. Build 5 Chrono Harvesters.
- While harvesters build, train 20 Rocketeers. Use them to defend against incoming attacks. Build an Airforce Command Center.
- Begin building 25-30 tanks, followed by 20 IFVs.
- While IFVs build, train 15 GI's and 5 Engineers. Use them to fill the IFVs.
- Scout the Soviet base with Rocketeers to locate the Soviet Barracks.
- Once ground troops are ready, capture the Soviet Barracks and other buildings.
- If the Soviet Barracks is captured, train 15 Tesla Troops and build 15 IFVs, filling them with Tesla Troops. Otherwise, build many tanks, prioritizing Soviet tanks if possible.
- Proceed past the Washington Monument to the Soviet base. Destroy the Psi Beacon.
Mission #4
- Use Rocketeers to destroy cannons.
- Move Destroyers into the bay to clear a landing zone for troops, watching for submarines.
- Deploy the MCV and use ground troops to eliminate threats. Capture as much Soviet infrastructure as possible. Build at least 4 miners.
- Option 1: Build numerous tanks, move them over the right bridge, and destroy the target.
- Option 2: Build Destroyers, proceed up the river, destroy submarines, Flak Tracks, and guns, then find and destroy the target.
Mission #5 (Battle Lab)
- Disguise your spies.
- Move Tanya up and left slowly, engaging any enemies. Proceed to barrels next to a fence with cows. Save the cows.
- Go right to a farm with barrels, then right and follow the road. After a Tesla Trooper, the road ends. Continue in that direction to find GI's.
- Move up and follow the terrain to a Tesla Coil. Destroy it by shooting the barrels.
- Enter the base, avoiding Tesla Coils, and proceed to another Tesla Coil. Destroy it by shooting barrels.
