Yeah, I had to cheese the Chinook part and put a bunch of units there that destroyed it as soon as it appeared. I don't know how many of the bloody thinsg I shot down during the mission. Probably 20 or so.

I tend to do that only to skip missions I don't like. Specifically the Nod chopper mission and the GDi mission where (in vanilla) you have to babysit Moebius and the civilians.

Same for me. For some reason, I have a tendency to always choose the same mission, though, even if I pick randomly and don't pat attention what I chose the last time I played.

I know - I did the same for GDI missions 5 and 13. But I promised to do all maps, so I do all maps. Even it's the same map. I like that Red Alert has different maps for all multi-map missions, even though the objectives are always the same (unlike in C&C1).

Once more GDI is zapping around with their Ion Canon and we have steal their launch codes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foCj75Nuu98

Slight tangent: The author speculate about buildings on a Red Alert screenshot and identify the arms factory as a construction yard and then as a power plant. AA guns are turned into "heavy artillery". Also, the editorial at the beginning discusses how people start to bitch about games becoming too easy and too casual.

So GDI is testing their Ion Cannon... wait, what did I kill that scientist for again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_HLTE5Zspc

Using the artillery for a permanent barrage is a neat strategy. The lack of accuracy works in your favour for once.

Hey, I didn't design this map. What I didn't show was the five times in the beginning where failed for various silly or random reasons.

Once more we have to get back our stealth tanks, and it seems that this time it's even trickier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZShMlN_fE8M

Yup, first time I played the mission the harvester squished by commando and all engineers.

I'm not sure if that's intended, but the artillery has just enough range to take out the towers. You have to avoid or destroy the gunboat, though, and watch out that your northern party doesn't get airstriked (only possible with a bait minigunner) and risk that your artillery gets destroyed and that you have to do it the other way anyway.

I think that the devs intended the player to use the southern group to take out the two GDI guard towers with the artillery and then have the northern group take over the base. However, the base can be just taken over from within (especially in the second version of the map where approaching the base from the North gives you access to it) and the towers destroyed with an obelisk or rocket soldiers.

Also, did you check Kelpacki's Youtube channel? He also has an 38-track playlist for C&C1 on this website: http://www.frankklepacki.com/portfolio/game-CnC.html

I never noticed much of a great difference between the in-game music and HD tracks. Maybe it's because the music is so funky and electronic already.

It's time to get back the blueprints for our stealth tank in one of the trickiest Nod missions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHKO1WLyo0A I'm not sure whether it's even worth it to do these missions the proper way with the artillery.

Instead of killing an unarmed scientist, we can also shoot a really big tank. How about we try that this time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBxkH1pPPmc

Thank you!

GDI now has a giant space laser! We better kill their leading scientist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLZcymfYs60

It's a matter of taste. Back then on a 640x480 pixelated screen the different was IMO less prominent.

This will make the Soviet war dogs look even more monstrous than they already do.

Once more we free Egypt from the stranglehold of GDI. We are only oppressors on this continent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYgTNIdpS3w

I prefer the smaller infantry. It's already pixelated and off scale enough; there's no need to make that worse.

Do you still have the patch?

GDI has taken back Egypt, and All we get to take it back is one commando. Okay, and another run-down base. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EECdue2D-S4 I like this mission. It's a good mix of commando mission and base building mission.
