Operation: Head Games




With space belonging to Mother Russia, it is time to rid ourselves of that pest Yuri once and for all! He is hiding in his homeland of Transylvania, in Romania. Go there and dislodge that tick. Be on your guard, as there appears to be both Allied and Soviet troops still under his command, and the civilian population may still be exploited by that madman!





The area of Transylvania, Romania



Location: Transylvania, Romania
Objective: Destroy Yuri's Headquarters.

Briefing: Hoping to hide from your onslaught, Yuri has retreated to his ancestral home in Transylvania. We can not allow him any respite or he will only rally his forces and return again to threaten us all. Eliminate Yuri now and forever!

Author's note: A tough mission, especially when reaching the end of the tech tree. It's especially notable for mixing both armies together without throwing tons of Yuri's own forces into the mix. Refreshing, challenging, fun.
