Soviet

Mission 8: Desecration, Washington D.C.

Former Soviet General Vladimir, who has been accused of killing Soviet Premier Romanov by Yuri, is hiding out in the White House in Washington, D.C.  Your mission is to capture the White House and dispose of General Vladimir. It's Soviet against Soviet in this mission. 

Objectives: Capture the White House with an Engineer.

In the beginning: This mission starts out a bit hard at first, but you should be ok once you get things rolling. Start out by deploying your MCV immediately. You also get Desolators to start off this mission. The Desolator fires a radiation weapon that is effective on light vehicles and infantry. And when the Desolator deploys he creates a large area of radioactivity that obliterates any infantry unlucky enough to be caught in his radius. You also get some Conscripts and Apocalypse Tanks.

As you get started building your base, send one of the Desolators just north of your base, another to the southwest, and the other two to the northeast. Move all your Conscripts to the northeast also, and garrison them in the bunker and tents there. Also, enemy Conscripts under General Vladimir's control drop in at the start of the mission. You can see the shadows of the Paratroopers as the descend. Place a Desolator directly under these shadows and deploy him. He'll kill these enemy Conscripts as soon as they land. This will happen three times. The first is just north of your base, the second to the southwest, and the third, the largest drop of Paratroopers, near the tents. But if you moved your Desolators where you were instructed to in the beginning of this mission, you will have no problems handling this attack.

Time to build: With this early attack out of the way, start building up your base quickly. By now you should no what to build without being told. Always build to defend against both air and ground attacks. And build a good mix of units for both offense and defense. In this mission in particular, build a few more War Miners (4), so you can gather lots of money in a short time. Now lets build some Apocalypse Tanks and some V3s and have some fun in this mission! 

NOTE: Watch your ore field east of your base. When it runs out your War Miners will wander into enemy territory looking for more ore and be destroyed. So when this ore filed runs out, take your War Miners and park them in your base. Now take a group of Conscripts and head north until they find the Lincoln Memorial. Have them destroy this, then pick up the crate that appears. The crate contains $8,000. That will buy you a few more Apocalypse Tanks. 

When you have your Apoc tanks and V3s built and ready to go, take them to the large ore field in the southeast. Use your Apoc tanks to destroy the enemy War Miners you find there. Explore the enemy base near the ore field. Use your V3s to take out the Tesla Coils and your Apocs for other structures. Leave a couple Apoc Tanks in the ore field and go ahead and start mining the ore here. Then take three Apoc Tanks and a couple V3s and head to the small base west of the ore field. Use the V3's on the Tesla Coils and the Apoc Tanks on everything else. Keep pushing eastward taking out structures along the way. Use your V3s on any dangerous structures like Tesla Coils. 

The final push: In the southwest you'll find a pair of destroyed bridges. One of these bridges can be repaired however. Use an Engineer, repair the bridge, and send over some Apoc Tanks. You'll find a few enemies here, six trucks, and the Jefferson Memorial. Destroy everything. What you get in return is crates with cash, power-ups, a Tesla Tank, and a War Miner. Not bad, eh? Ok, lets end this thing. Pump out a bunch of Tesla Troopers and Conscripts. Have them follow your Apoc Tanks east towards the White House. Destroy all resistance as you go using your tanks, Tesla Troopers, and Conscripts. 

Once you get an Engineer inside the White House, the mission ends.
