Destroy the Allied Chronosphere in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Mission 12: Polar Storm. Learn unit strategies and base building.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by building a Refinery and Miner immediately. Construct Tesla Coils, a War Factory, and start producing Rhino Heavy Tanks and Flak Tracks. Also, build Conscripts and additional Miners.
  2. 2
    The Allies will launch small attacks, including tanks, Rocketeers, an Aircraft Carrier, and SEALs. Use tanks to crush them and ensure valuable structures are not in vulnerable areas.
  3. 3
    Once a Battle Lab is constructed, begin building Apocalypse Tanks. Having at least 5 Apocalypse Tanks will provide good base defense.
  4. 4
    Build a Naval Shipyard and produce submarines and Sea Scorpions. A few Dreadnoughts are sufficient to destroy enemy Naval Yards.
  5. 5
    Build at least 10 Dreadnoughts for the assault on the Chronosphere, and more if needed.
  6. 6
    While Dreadnoughts are en route, mass-produce Apocalypse Tanks.
  7. 7
    Build Transports to carry Apocalypse Tanks to an outpost. Establish an outpost by capturing structures with Engineers, prioritizing the War Factory, Air Force Command, and Barracks.
  8. 8
    Defend the outpost with Apocalypse Tanks. If desired, build a Refinery at the outpost.
  9. 9
    Construct a Nuke Silo at your main base or outpost. Continue building tanks and GIs for defense.
  10. 10
    Once the nuke is ready, target Patriot missiles and other defenses to soften them up.
  11. 11
    Use Dreadnoughts to bombard Prism Towers from the shore.
  12. 12
    Slowly advance Apocalypse Tanks towards the enemy settlement, destroying any opposition.
  13. 13
    Stay out of range of remaining Prism Towers and wait for Dreadnoughts to inflict damage.
  14. 14
    When enough Prism Towers are destroyed, move all tanks forward and target the Chronosphere.
  15. 15
    Alternative Strategy: Build 2 Kirov airships alongside your naval fleet. Attack the enemy fortification on the shore, using Dreadnoughts to destroy Naval Yards and Patriot sites to clear a path for the Kirovs. Destroy all defensive structures to quickly acquire elite Kirovs. Then, bring in tanks and engineers to capture the base.
Tips
  • Transporting V3 Rocket Launchers can help destroy enemy Prism Towers from a safe distance.
  • Capturing the Airport provides Kirov reinforcement.
  • The Chronosphere is heavily defended, so a coordinated attack is crucial.
  • The nuke can destroy Patriot missiles and other defenses, but the Chronosphere itself is too strong to be destroyed by a single nuke.
  • Apocalypse Tanks are very effective against enemy armored units.
  • GIs are great defense units if you have access to them.
