Soviet Missions

Allied MISSION #2 - Hollywood and Vain

This mission finds you in Los Angeles. Yuri has mind controlled the people of Los Angeles, and he's slaughtering innocent civilians by sending them into his Grinders. You must stop Yuri by destroying all of the Grinders. After that is accomplished, take out all of Yuri's structures to win this mission.

You'll start the game with some GIs, Guardian GIs, and your MCV. As soon as you gain control of the game, start building up your base with defenses, and garrison all of the surrounding buildings with GIs. Get as many GIs in them as you can. This will hold off Yuri's attacks that will be coming your way soon. Make sure to build a Battlelab while your building your base. You'll need the high tech stuff. Also, build some attack dogs and place them around your base's outer perimeter to guard against Yuri Clones. They cannot mind control dogs, so dogs are great for this task! They are cheap to build...so keep plenty around. SEALs are also nice to have around for taking out enemy infantry. Once you have your base defenses up and running, and a nice money flow coming in, build two air force command centers and eight Harrier jets. They will come in handy with this mission and make your job much easier. Also, to the north of your base you'll find a civilian movie actor [action hero] called Flint Westwood. He's great for taking out Initiates! Go get him and bring him to your base. There are two other civilians movie actors [action heroes] that you can use to help out the cause. You'll find them near Yuri's Grinders. What's nice is they are immune from Yuri's mind-control.

Special Note: There is an airport [LAX] you can capture that will give you paratroopers. Capture this early in the game {after you have your base defenses secured]. There are two gem fields near the airport, so after you capture it and protect it, build a refinery to mine the ore fields for extra cash. You'll also find some Oil Derricks to capture for extra cash on the map north east of your base.

To prepare for your attacks on Yuri's Grinders, make up a mixed force of Prism Tanks, Mirage Tanks, Grizzly Tanks, and a few IFVs with Engineers. Use the IFVs to repair your tanks until you capture the Machine Shop to the north. The Grinder east of your base is the easiest to take out, so start with that one. Also make sure to take out all garrisoned building in the area. Air strikes with your harriers you built are great for this task, then just mop up the infantry with your other units [Prism tanks or whatever]. Go ahead and take out the remaining three Grinders using teams of Prisms and Mirage Tanks, etc. Use your Harriers to assist you with air strikes. Some of these Grinder positions are well defended with Gattling Towers, patrolling enemy units, etc. So it's not a cake walk. Don't forget to use your GIs to garrison buildings near the Grinder positions before you start attacking them. They are great help to you. If you captured the LAX airport, then those paratroopers will come in real handy about now. Also want to note that you'll get money crates after taking out each Grinder.

Also want to note: Up north of your base you'll find a Machine Shop. Capture this with an engineer. All of your vehicles will self-repair when you have this structure in your possession. This will come in handy when you go for Yuri's main base.

Time to take out Yuri's base. His base is spread out across the North section of the map. Since you've taken out much of his income by destroying his Grinders, he is crippled somewhat. Hopefully some of your units have gained veteran status. If they have, taking out Yuri's base will be much easier. Start with the small base to your left first, taking out all structures and units you see. Use your Prism tanks to take out the Gattling Cannons outside their range. Then move in to take out everything else. Do the same with the larger base. Once you've taken out the bulk of his structures, Yuri will eventually give up and sell his remaining buildings, etc.

GAME OVER...mission accomplished!
