Complete walkthrough for the Upper Route (2) mission in Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Includes base building, unit production, naval assaults, and capturing Soviet structures.
Walkthrough
- 1Deploy your construction yard immediately upon arrival. Build a power plant to the left of the construction yard, then an ore refinery to the left of the power plant. Build a barracks.
- 2Defend against initial light Soviet forces from the south and south-west using infantry and Rangers.
- 3Throughout the mission, defend against incoming Soviet transports and constant Yak attacks.
- 4Your first objective is to stop the barracks directly south of your base.
- 5Once you have a war factory and approximately five medium tanks, advance south. Destroy the flame towers, barracks, and any units in the area. Leave the radar station intact.
- 6Capture the radar station to gain visibility of parts of the Soviet map and to make building a naval yard easier.
- 7Continue building medium tanks. Create two groups: one on the beach by the ore field east of the radar station, and another on the beach by the south-west ore field. Lining tanks along the beaches will destroy incoming Soviet transports before they can unload.
- 8Defend your base against Yaks by surrounding it with anti-aircraft guns.
- 9After securing the beaches and your base, build a naval yard in the water below the captured radar station.
- 10Produce about eight gunships and send them east, following the shore north. Destroy any submarines encountered. Stop at the eastern edge of the map in the far upper-right corner. Return the gunships to your naval yard for repairs.
- 11Build three naval transports. Load them with 14 medium tanks and one spy.
- 12Send all three transports to the north-eastern shore of the Soviet landmass and unload.
- 13Use the tanks to clear Soviet forces near the top of their base. Send the spy into the upper tech center when it is safe.
- 14Wipe out the remaining Soviets. Be cautious of the Tesla Coil located in the ore field west of their construction yard.
- 15After destroying all ground structures, locate and destroy any remaining submarines. Use your gunship group to destroy four submarines: one between the small island and the Soviet landmass, two in the small gulf near the sub pen, and one in the thin strip of water in the south-east.
Tips
- Placing tanks along the beach will usually destroy Soviet transports before they can unload.
- Ring your base with anti-aircraft guns to effectively deal with Yak attacks.
- Capturing the radar station provides map intelligence and simplifies naval yard construction.
- Use the spy to infiltrate the Soviet tech center for strategic advantage.
- Be aware of the Tesla Coil near the Soviet construction yard.
