Your guide to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's 'Greed of the Vanquished' mission. Learn how to sneak into the Soviet base, capture the VIP bunker, and destroy Oleg's forces on Sakhalin Island.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Greed of the Vanquished' mission in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. This one's set on Sakhalin Island and it's a bit of a medium difficulty, but definitely doable. You'll be facing off against Oleg, who's rocking the Red color scheme, and the main goal is to sneak in, grab some key objectives, and then wreck his entire base. We've also got a secondary objective to take out his Air Base.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You're starting out on Sakhalin Island, and the Soviets have made a pretty bold move. Kenji's holding the line, but he needs your help. The key here is a sneak attack, so pay close attention to how we use that Soviet Transport.
  2. 2
    First, you need to get into the Soviet Air Base to the northwest. Disguise your Transport as one of the Bullfrogs that are already fighting on the map. This is crucial for getting past their initial defenses unnoticed. Send this disguised Transport towards the Air Base.
  3. 3
    One of their Twinblades will spot your Transport and pick it up, dropping you off right inside the main Soviet base. Once you're dropped off, send the Transport north, then west.
  4. 4
    Now, unload your passengers. Use your Shinobi units to take out any pesky Bear tanks that might be guarding the area. Once the immediate vicinity is clear, send in an Engineer to capture the VIP Bunker. This is one of your primary objectives.
  5. 5
    After securing the VIP Bunker, it's time to build up your own forces. Construct an Airfield and start churning out MiGs and some Twinblades.
  6. 6
    To really cripple Oleg's production, we're going to use that Transport again. This time, disguise it as an Ore Collector. Load it up with Combat Engineers. Send this disguised Transport to Oleg's Ore Nodes located to the east.
  7. 7
    Once you reach the Ore Nodes, unload your Combat Engineers. Their job is to capture Oleg's Refineries as quickly as possible. If you can snag those, and also capture the Super Reactor, you'll severely hamper his ability to build and reinforce. After this, disguise the Transport again and bring it back to your base safely.
  8. 8
    Now, let's focus on that Air Base secondary objective. Fill up your Twinblades with Conscripts and Flak Troopers. Fly them over to the Soviet Air Base.
  9. 9
    When you arrive, drop off your troops. Use the Flak Troopers to take down any nearby Bullfrogs or Flak Cannons. Your Twinblades should then focus on destroying the Airfields themselves.
  10. 10
    With the Airfields neutralized, send your air units back to your base. Keep your Twinblades patrolling the western coast; they might be needed to fend off any Dreadnought attacks.
  11. 11
    It's time for the main assault on Oleg's base. Use a combined force: Apocalypse Tanks for heavy hitting, V4 Rocket Launchers for long-range bombardment, Bullfrogs for naval support if needed, and crucially, the Iron Curtain superweapon to shield your advance. Attack Oleg's base from the rear if possible.
  12. 12
    As you push into his base, build up a few Tesla Coils near the entrance of any captured Soviet structures (like the ones in the south). These will help defend your new territory and deter counter-attacks.
  13. 13
    Once Oleg's main base is destroyed, he's not quite done yet. He'll throw in some Grinders as a surprise final attack. You need to take these down quickly.
  14. 14
    Once you've dealt with the Grinders, Oleg will finally call it quits, and you'll have successfully completed the 'Greed of the Vanquished' mission!
Tips
  • The Soviet Arsenal is your main tool in this mission, so get familiar with its units.
  • Disguising the transport is key to the early game. Make sure you're using the right disguise for the right job.
  • Capturing Oleg's Ore Nodes and Refineries early on will significantly slow down his economy and production.
  • Don't neglect your air power; MiGs and Twinblades are essential for both offense and defense.
  • The Iron Curtain is your best friend for pushing into heavily defended areas. Use it wisely to protect your key units.
  • Be ready for the Grinder attack at the end; they can be surprisingly tough if you're not prepared.
