Detailed walkthrough for the Left Route mission in Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Learn how to infiltrate bases, destroy SAM sites, capture buildings, and defeat Soviet forces.
Walkthrough
- 1Wait for patrolling dogs to move away from the small base. Move your spy to the far left side of the ore field where the dogs stop.
- 2When the next set of dogs starts returning to the base, move your spy east underneath the base to enter it from the bottom.
- 3Infiltrate the war factory. A truck will take you to Tanya.
- 4With Tanya, detonate both SAM sites near her. Be prepared to defend against attack dogs and soldiers from the north.
- 5Fight your way into the bottom of the small base above you and destroy the other two SAM sites. This will cause the chopper to arrive.
- 6Put Tanya in the chopper. You will receive reinforcements at your original starting position.
- 7Your main threat in the nearby Soviet base is the Mammoth Tank near the war factory you infiltrated. Use your tanks, artillery, and rocket soldiers to destroy it. Shoot the nearest barrel for initial damage.
- 8Clear out the Soviet base, but leave the war factory, power plant, and construction yard intact. You can capture these buildings with engineers if they are damaged enough. An engineer targeting a building to occupy will have green arrows; targeting to cause damage will have red arrows.
- 9Once you have captured the buildings, start building your base. The ore field at the start will provide sufficient funds. Get an ore refinery running as soon as possible.
- 10Build a few heavy tanks and some V2 rockets. Move south along the eastern side of the map towards another ore field.
- 11Destroy the Soviet ore miners and fight off their forces. Ignore the Yaks as they are not a significant threat.
- 12Use your V2 rockets to destroy Tesla Coils, Flame Towers, and other structures.
- 13Pick off the explosive barrels inside the Soviet base, then move your tanks in to finish their forces.
- 14To prevent rebuilding, consider destroying the Soviet construction yard at the top-left of their base first.
- 15The mission ends once all Soviet units and structures are destroyed.
Tips
- Use explosive barrels to your advantage for initial damage against enemy structures and units.
- Prioritize destroying the Soviet construction yard to prevent them from rebuilding.
- V2 rockets are highly effective against Tesla Coils and Flame Towers.
- Engineers can capture damaged Soviet buildings if targeted correctly (green arrows).
