Complete Mission 3: Hail to the Chief in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 by building a base, destroying the Psychic Beacon, and capturing enemy structures.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by building your base. Construct approximately 30 GIs to assist with construction.
  2. 2
    Have GIs garrison themselves in buildings around the bridge to "The Other Side", especially the one by the bridge.
  3. 3
    Build a War Factory and then approximately 4 additional miners.
  4. 4
    Construct Grizzly Battle Tanks. You will receive occasional reinforcements of about 4 or 5 IFVs (Infantry Fighting Vehicles).
  5. 5
    Build an Air Force Command HQ and then 4 Harriers for an initial strike against the small enemy base across the bridge by the soccer field. Continue tank production while destroying enemy structures with aircraft.
  6. 6
    Once you have a significant number of tanks, cross the bridge and advance to the Washington Monument. Destroy the Soviet stronghold defenses.
  7. 7
    Build Engineers and capture the Soviet base, prioritizing the War Factory. Capture the Barracks and Refinery if possible.
  8. 8
    Place Pillboxes around the captured base. Construct about 10 Tesla Tanks by putting a Tesla Trooper inside an IFV.
  9. 9
    Build a second Air Force Command HQ and fill it with Harriers to strike the base at the Natural History Museum, destroying as much as possible.
  10. 10
    Build numerous Rhino Heavy Tanks at the captured base to aid in the final assault. Consider building a few V3 rockets for quick destruction.
  11. 11
    Assemble all forces at your captured base for the final assault to destroy remaining enemy structures.
  12. 12
    Locate and destroy the Psychic Beacon, which is situated in the North East corner of the map.
Tips
  • You can repair existing structures, but it is not required to complete the mission.
  • Repairing structures can yield crates with money, which can be helpful.
  • Garrisoning GIs in buildings can help defend against occasional attacks from Conscripts and civilians.
  • Capturing the Soviet War Factory allows for continued production of powerful units like Rhino Heavy Tanks and V3 rockets.
  • Tesla Tanks are particularly effective against remaining Soviet defenses.
