Operation: Brain Dead




Yuri has retreated to the Antarctic, with both the Allies and the Soviets hot on his heels. It's time to end this once and for all!






Somewhere on the western portion of Antarctica.




Location: Antarctica
Objective: Destroy Yuri's forces once and for all!

Briefing: It's almost over, Commander. Yuri's plot lies in ruins. However, he still has one last Psychic Dominator located somewhere in his stronghold in Antarctica. Bring the abandoned Soviet Base on Tierra del Fuego back online and build a radar dish so that we can pinpoint Yuri's exact location. Then, with the combined might of Allied and Soviet forces, put an end to Yuri's plans once and for all.

Author's note: I like the setup to this mission, though I feel like the execution could've been a little better? Also rather unfortunate that you're technically punished if you build any ground units at the Soviet base.

Aftermath:

Faster than Par Time: "The whole world now knows your true brilliance as a commander. Your image is appearing on stamps in every nation across the globe, and a worldwide holiday has been declared in your honor."

Slower than Par Time: "The world will never know just how close it came to complete destruction. Let's hope we got every last one of Yuri's clones."
