Complete walkthrough for Command & Conquer: Red Alert's Left Route Mission 3. Learn how to fend off Allied attacks, build your base, and destroy enemy defenses to secure victory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Keep your MCV moving to avoid destruction during the initial Allied attack. Once the area is clear, move all units, including the MCV, due west to a large clearing.
  2. 2
    Deploy the MCV in the clearing, repair it, and begin building your base. Prioritize building a barracks before the ore refinery, as troops and vehicles will attack from the north quickly. Place flame towers on the north side of your base for early defense.
  3. 3
    The right side of the map will not be attacked, so no defense is needed there. The Allied base to the north has pillboxes and turrets on its southern side, with a gap generator obscuring vision.
  4. 4
    Once you have about ten heavy tanks, advance north to attack the Allied base, supported by a few V2 rockets. Three V2 rockets can destroy most targets, so use them to eliminate defenses and units before they can engage you.
  5. 5
    After clearing the Allied base, use your V2 rockets to destroy the tanks and boats located at the east exit of the base. Proceed east with your tanks, destroying any enemies along the path between the Allied base and the upper-right corner of the map.
  6. 6
    You will encounter civilian buildings along the path. Destroying them can yield crates (the church contains money, and the lower-left house has a healing crate). Continue moving east without stopping, as cruisers in the southern water will begin firing.
  7. 7
    With the path clear, send your trucks along it to the upper-right corner of the map to complete the mission. The cruisers should not pose a threat if the trucks keep moving. If you deem them a threat, use V2 rockets to destroy them.
Tips
  • Build a barracks before an ore refinery to quickly establish defenses against northern attacks.
  • Use V2 rockets strategically to take out key enemy structures and units from a distance.
  • Don't linger near the water on the east side of the map, as cruisers can attack your units.
  • Civilian buildings can contain helpful power-ups like money and healing crates.
