Mission 12: Chrono Storm, Moscow

Here it is...the final mission. Tanya needs to get into the Kremlin to capture Romanov. You are outnumbered. The Soviets are armed with both an Iron Curtain and a Nuclear Missile Silo. And don't forget the Kirov Airships...Good luck!

Objectives: Clear the area so Chrono reinforcements can arrive, then eliminate Romanov's Elite Black Guard around the Kremlin. Do not destroy the Kremlin. 

The mission starts with a trio of SEALS dropping in around a fortified Soviet area. When they land they'll take out all the Conscripts in the surrounding area. Use the SEALs to destroy the Tesla Reactor. This will trigger the arrival of your MCV and a couple IFVs. Deploy the MCV right where its at. Now move your SEALs throughout the area and have them blow up all remaining Tesla Coils. You can get a few infantry units by knocking out the fence in the top left corner. 

Build base: Now start making your base and build up as fast as you can. Just use whatever base building techniques you've learned in the past eleven missions. You should know what to build by now. One thing you do need to do as far as placement of buildings in your base: Put one Power Plant to the left of your Construction Yard. Then place all the other structures you build to the west and north of this. In other words, keep everything except that first Power Plant away from the Construction Yard. NOTE: You'll understand why you need to build it like that later on in the mission.

You'll need four Engineers to take over the four Tech Derricks in the area. Capture these for additional money. You also need to garrison the four bunkers outside your base with GIs. Two in the south and two in the east. These bunkers will give you added defense. Each bunker holds four GIs. Continue building up your base as usual. Don't forget about air and ground defenses. Build more Chrono Miners so you can get money faster. Also crank out a bunch of IFVs. You'll need these to defend against the Soviet Kirov Airships that will be attacking you.

Now take an Engineer and 10 GIs and head out the northern end of your base, then head east. When you spot a Sentry Gun, deploy the GIs and have them destroy it. Now have your GIs garrison one of the buildings in the area. Take your Engineer and capture the Tech Airport. By taking over the Airport you will get reinforcements throughout this mission. Now back in your base you will receive more reinforcements of both Grizzly Tanks and Prism Tanks. Leave them in your base so they can help defend it for now. 

Keep an eye on the east. That is where Soviet Kirovs will be attacking from. Just make sure you have Patriot Missile sites and use your IFVs for protection from them also. while your continuing to build up your base, make sure you build a Battle Lab as soon as possible and then build a Spy Satellite and two Chrono Legionnaires. Keep cranking out GIs and have them garrison all the buildings surrounding your base. This will help to fortify the base. It's also important to garrison any of the buildings you can get at near your base, at the Airport, and also near the Tech Derricks. All these must be protected because the Soviets will be coming in force and with power! Just want to mention that east of the Airport you have captured, there are a few more Tech Derricks you should capture when you get the time. You'll need the extra money. 

Ok...time to get on with this mission. the only way to stop the Soviet Nuke is to sneak a Spy into the silo. but to do that, you have to get past a PSI-corp Trooper and an attack dog. If your attempt to infiltrate the Nuke silo fails, wait for the countdown to get to about one minute. Now move all your units away from your Construction Yard. Move in with the Chrono Legionnaires you were told to build earlier. Now have one force-fire on the Construction Yard, and the other on the Power Plant. (Now you understand why you were to build your base that strange way?) I hope you followed instructions. Now when the Soviet Nuke hits your base, only your Chrono Legionnaires will be destroyed. Your structures will be ok. 

Just note here: Timing is important. If your Chrono Legionnaires fire on the buildings too long they will destroy them. If you are unsure about doing this, then just let the Nuke hit. It will take out your Power Plant and damage your Construction Yard. You'll just have to replace the Power Plant and repair the CY. You could also assault the Nuclear Silo by taking a force of eight to ten Grizzly Tanks and four or five Prism Tanks. Take along some GIs too and have them garrison buildings near the Nuke Silo to help defend your tanks. Use the Grizzly Tanks to defend your Prism Tanks while they are firing on the Nuke Silo. 

Now lets have some more fun! Make a few Spies and send them to the east into the Soviet base. Send them into anything that's there. Concentrate on the Soviet Refinery. Sending a Spy in one of these steals the enemy's money. Do this every few minutes or so. You'll get money every time you do it!

Taking out the power: Now make five or six Chrono Legionnaires. Take them to the eastern edge of the map. You'll see a small island with two Nuclear Reactors there. Move the Legionnaires to the island and have them eliminate Reactors. This won't shut down all the Soviet power, but it's a very good start. Now send your Legionnaires to the southeast corner and have them take out the two Nuke Reactors there too. If you come under Soviet fire, just take one of two Legionnaires and kill them while the others continue to eliminate the Reactors. Finally, send them one more time to the southwest corner of the map. Again, destroy the two Nuke Reactors here. Now the Soviet base is without power. 

Final Assault: Now that all the Soviet power is down, send a bunch of tanks, etc. into the smaller Soviet base to the east first and destroy everything there. Now start to slowly head south with a big assult force of IFVs, Grizzlies, Prism Tanks, GIs, and whatever else you can grab. Put some Engineers in IFVs too. Keeps your tanks repaired. Keep using your Chrono Legionnaires to take out all the structures along the southern edge of the map. Always mass-fire on one target at a time. It's also a good idea to airdrop some GIs where your Legionnaires are at to help protect them. If you encounter any Soviet Apoc Tanks, five Legionnaires can take one out fast.

Don't worry about the Orange base to the west. Just keep units around their base and destroy any units coming out of it. Your priority now is to get the Chrono Legionnaires into the Kremlin area. 

NOTE: DO NOT DESTROY THE KREMLIN! 

Once your Chrono Legionnaires are in the Kremlin area, start eliminating the green units and structures. This takes time and patience. Start with the Sentry Guns in the back. Then work around carefully, taking out the Apocalypse Tanks, Conscripts, Tesla Coils, and Flak Cannons. When all the green units are gone, Tanya drops in, enters the Kremlin, and captures Romanov. The war is over and America and the free world are saved!

Congratulations Commander!  YOU ARE VICTORIOUS!!
