Complete walkthrough for Command & Conquer: Red Alert's Left Route (4) mission. Learn base defense, ore collection, and offensive strategies against Allied forces.
Walkthrough
- 1Build a barracks as soon as possible to defend your base from initial attacks. Placing a building usually causes attacking units to retreat.
- 2Position your ore refinery on the left edge of your base, as most of the ore is located to the west.
- 3Construct Tesla Coils for base defense. Build a few spare power plants to support them. Place two or three Tesla Coils along the top of your base and one in the lower-left corner to defend against attacks from the land bridge.
- 4Avoid placing important buildings near the southern shore, as Allied ships patrol these waters and can fire upon them. Allied transports may also land reinforcements on the beach, posing a threat to unprotected buildings. Defend this area with Tesla Coils or keep buildings further inland.
- 5The initial ore field is scarce. A larger field is located to the west, but it is protected by Allied mines and patrols. Use paratroopers to defend against rocket soldiers and watch out for enemy tanks. If ore miners are threatened, retreat them to the safety of Tesla Coils.
- 6Once you have several heavy tanks and V2 rockets, advance slowly to the north. Use V2 rockets to attack the small Allied base from a distance, using tanks for cover against any units that pursue your V2 rockets.
- 7Destroy the civilian town to the north.
- 8Continue to the northeast corner of the map to find Allied ore miners. Destroying their harvesters is crucial for making the rest of the mission easier. Be aware of more Allied land mines in this area; expect some tanks to be damaged or destroyed.
- 9Prepare for a large wave of Allied soldiers and vehicles that will likely attack from their main base. You may need to fend them off or retreat to your base for repairs.
- 10Use V2 rockets to attack the main Allied base from a distance, but ensure you have heavy tanks for protection.
- 11Exercise caution near coastal areas, as gunboats and destroyers can attack units that enter their range.
- 12Destroy the entire Allied base and all land units on the map.
- 13Finally, decimate the Allied navy. Use V2 rockets to destroy many boats from land, and deploy submarines to eliminate any remaining ships.
