The Fox and the Hound

"Our victory is near at hand. The President has successfully eluded us, but we have tracked him to a dirty little fort called 'The Alamo' in San Antonio, Texas. You must use our Psi-Corps Troopers to mind control the President and force him to surrender the United States." ~ Mission briefing

Operation: The Fox and the Hound is the ninth mission of the Soviet campaign in Red Alert 2.

Background
Following Vladimir's removal, Yuri has decided it was high time to deliver the final blow to America. As President Michael Dugan hides in the Alamo, deep within Soviet-controlled America, he dispatches Psi-Corps troopers to locate and deliver him into Soviet hands.

Mission Events
"Listen to me you Soviet scum: you can root around all you want but you'll never find me, and you'll never take me. You call yourself a general? Haha! We're laughing at you, red!"

- Michael Dugan

As the mission starts, the Soviet airforce paradrops a large squad of conscripts and Tesla troopers to take the President by force. However, it is only a distraction, intended to allow a two-man team of Psi-Corps troopers to safely land in the city. President Dugan contacts the commander shortly afterwards, gloating about his fortress.

Walkthrough
The American base is well defended with Prism Towers, Patriot Missiles and is patrolled by GIs and attack dogs. The entrances are protected by Navy SEALs, while local civilians are armed to defend the city against a Soviet assault. This is a classic Red Alert commando mission and has a generally linear structure.

Begin by turning the two GIs guarding the entrance against each other. Then dispose of them by attacking the Alamo. Then "persuade" the engineers to join the Soviet cause and capture the battle lab and barracks. Afterwards, move against the second support base in the east, destroy the pill boxes guarding the entrance, and kill the remaining defenders.

Mind-control the British sniper stationed at the base and occupy the Tech Airport. Then, use the sniper to eliminate the SEALs. Now you're reasonably well prepared for taking the President. Exploit a weakness in the Alamo's defense on the west side of the base. Breach the walls, infiltrate the base with spies and sabotage the power plants.

Use the confusion to destroy the Prism towers, slaughter the defenders and grab the President.
