Leningrad: The Moon Shall Never Have Them

Mission Objectives:
  • Clear the plateau of Soviets
  • Destroy the Premier's Fortress
  • Unpack MCV 1 at Chrono Drop 1
  • Unpack MCV 2 at Chrono Drop 2
  • Destroy all Seven Iron Curtains

    The beginning of this mission is just goofy. Select your MCV and move it along the eastern coast to avoid being crushed. Once you reach the designated area, unpack it. Five mirage tanks will then chrono in, and you'll need to take them about to destroy the Soviet structures. It's not difficult, really. Watch out for apocalypse tanks and focus fire on them when they're sighted. When all resistance is eliminated the Premier will curse you and tell you he's going to space. Now you must destroy seven iron curtains.

    Repair your mirage tanks and prepare a large army. You're going to need every last unit for this one!You are given 25,000 credits. Deploy a power plant and two refineries, then an armor facility. Make a barracks and capture the oil derricks with engineers then research the heightened and max clearance upgrades. Repair your mirage tanks at the armor facility while you are researching further upgrades, and make some multigunner IFVs, about eight, to help them defend. When taking your command abilities, work toward free trade, taking surgical strike first.


    Make another power plant and and airfield/defense bureau to unlock the proton collider. You'll obviously need yet another power plant to support all this. You can make some apollo fighters to help defend your base from air attacks in the meantime. Work on four more mirage tanks while you wait.

    The proton collider will put you at max power, so another power plant is needed. A few athena cannons would help at this point. When you're ready, take your eight mirage tanks, eight IFVs, and three athenas over the bridge. Move very slowly and park them just south when they leave the bridge. Use your surgical strike and time bomb abilities to thin the forces here, then push in with the might of your army. Use the athenas to destroy buildings while your army hits mobile targets and turrets. Be sure to use athenas to destroy the super reactor because you will likely lose a lot of units in the explosion. The first iron curtain should go down easily. Back at your base make more mirage tanks and IFVs. You could also build a prospector now to take over the ore mines at the base you just destroyed. Push a little further east and take out the war factories, then pause while the prospector sets up.

    Let your athena cannons hit targets from afar while your other units protect them.Reinforce your army while you use athena cannons to destroy some garrisoned buildings to the east. Be sure to put your apollo fighters into the air so they can better defend your main base. At the expansion put only a refinery. The second iron curtain is just to the east, and is no harder to get to than the last. In fact, it's probably easier once you've restocked your army. You will want to double the amount of IFVs with you to sixteen before you approach the third iron curtain. Be sure to keep at least eight mirage tanks, as well.

    There will be a massive anti-air engagement as you approach the third iron curtain on your side of the map. I counted at least ten twinblades. Use your athenas to hit buildings from afar while your mirage tanks and ifvs work the tanks and twinblades. Move cautiously northeast, and reinforce your army once again as you destroy the iron curtain. You have hopefully been saving your superweapon, and you are coming close to using it. The athenas are great at taking out slow-moving apocalypse tanks, by the way!


    Your athenas can hit the tesla coil from across the canal here, allowing easier access to Krukov's base.There should only be one base left for your engagement. The northeastern one that Krukov controls. He has a vacuum imploder, and you're going to want to take him out fast. Build two more airfields back at your base and eight century bombers. Head north toward the bridge, but don't cross it. Instead, park to the east of it and use your athenas to hit the telsa coil. In the meantime, use your proton collider to hit the base just on top of the super reactor that is across the bridge. Use the surgical strike and time bomb abilities to finish it off. You've now got a nice way to get across. Once you cross the bridge, head immediately east. Destroy the superweapons and the airfield here.

    Now, there is likely one iron curtain left and you'll need bombers to reach it. Help your co-commander strike it (order them to) and use your bombers to make a flight path that leads along the western edge of the map. When it's down the Soviet palace will be vulnerable. use your century bombers to finish them off, along with any superweapons and powers at your disposal and you're done with the allied campaign!
