Grunyev Revolution



Grunyev Revolution is the 9th Soviet Mission in Red Alert: Aftermath.

Briefing

To Lyrica Prismriver:

Citizens within the Grunyev province have been speaking out against Soviet involvement in Western Europe. Silence them. Take a force into the area and eliminate any dissidents. We have received reports that the civilians may be armed, but against the might of the Soviet Empire, no force they can muster will protect them. See to it that they serve as an example to others. Eliminate them all - - men, women and children.

Battle Report

"Dear TIB3RIUM1

Today, I was looking for a place to practice for my solo performance when a guy claiming to be General Topolov told me to exterminate a village for rebelling. Then afterwards he lent me a small detachment consisting of a Mammoth tank, two heavy tanks, and three infantry.

I sent my squad to investigate and they were greeted by a civilian wearing white. He yelled 'The war is wrong! Down with Stalin!" and charged in firing a rocket launcher at them. A heavy tank was lost, and while he retreated back into the church we backed off a bit. Later on, a second civilian, this time wearing a suicide belt. Luckily, I knew what to do - hit and run him down to death.

Afterwards my war-weary troops limped off into the northwest where three Shock troopers, two Tesla tanks and two more Mammoths joined our cadre but then we had to face two Medium tanks. Next four more Shock troopers came and pulled an MCV over.

I then began to set up my base, starting from building the power plants to the tech center. The rebels attacked by sending a mammoth tank and two civilians, but these attacks were stopped by the initial force given. However, a paradrop done by the civilians managed to kill some of my newly-trained infantry so I sic'd the attack dogs on them.

Things went to worse as the Grunyev citizens sent a couple of Migs that took two passes to destroy the Power Plant, a few maniacs and a couple of medium tanks. In the confusion, I cancelled the radar dome that I constructed and I had to rebuild it. I also built an advanced power plant to compensate for the loss of power and a couple of SAM sites to defend against airstrikes. The missiles were able to knockout one of the two jets.

Once I completed the tech center, I began to build heavy tanks. I also sent my existing forces to wipe out the village that they previously passed through, and though one unit was lost due to friendly fire they found two crates in the remains,

More surprises were to come. The rebels used the iron curtain on two of their tanks and these wiped out a large amount of my forces. Next, the ore supply ran out, and my ore trucks had to find another source. The problem here was that more civilians fired at the trucks, discouraging the latter from moving out of the base. Once more I sent the dogs out to devour the innocent. And then the remaining fighter obliterated my tech center, forcing me to rebuild.

After a while, I was able to mass a large amount of tanks and shock troopers and sent them to attack the village at the east. These encountered a light resistance from the insurgents, but even this was annihilated by the sheer firepower of the Red Army. Afterwards, I sent my army back to the base, but nothing much happened other than further attacks from the main base in the northwest which resulted in me rebuilding my tech center.

This was when I found out that Stalin was dispatching his personal guard to punish me for insubordination and failure to totally wipe out the villages. I ended up looking around the minimap to find out what I had missed and I spotted an igloo. I then ordered a Mammoth tank to destroy that and then told the driver to report. He told me that only ruins remained.

Just then my base was under attack by a multi-front assault - artillery and V2s bombarded the peripheral structures, while a paradrop sent infantry right at the heart of my base. I dealed with those accordingly and then reprimanded the Mammoth tank driver that there were still pieces left of the igloos. I told him to obliterate the remains of the igloos and then when he returned the driver told me that the villagers were now going to send their women and children.

By now, Stalin's red guard had arrived on the scene. Several shock troopers were paradropped near my base, and several tesla tanks and V2s hammered my structures. At that point, I was losing my concentration and couldn't even fire off a few notes from my keyboard to defeat those. By the time I could concentrate once more, several structures in my base, including the power plant and the tech center were destroyed.

Thankfully, I was able to hold off the initial attack. But then an ominous sight was detected - six mammoth tanks were spotted and were going to level my base. Thus, I braced for the attacks by building more tanks and Tesla Coils. Fortunately, the attack never came - when I checked on the tanks, there were only two left and both were smoking out, and just as the Tesla Coil completed I made another look. Only a single Mammoth was still standing, and once it was wiped out, the music stopped and I heard "Mission Accomplished".

I was shocked by what happened. I thought that in order to complete the mission I had to destroy the civilian base. 'How could the mission be a success if Stalin failed to wipe out the rebels?' I wondered.

Back at the office the next day, General Topolov came back from Spain and congratulated me despite the debacle. He also told me that the next time the two of us met we would have vodka in our hands and large women on our arms. I refused since that would impair my upcoming keyboard performance."
