Can you beat the RA2 Allied campaign on hard without losing a single unit and building?

I just hope the Soviet one isn't too hard compared to this cuz I'm doodoo garbage at this game.

I never once thought about stealing a nuke to nuke the other silo in the poland mission, that's genius. You think you know a game, but then it turns out you've barely scratched the surface. Love the video.

The objective of this challenge is super unique:

7:20
Technically your entire army didn't get killed by the nuke. If you close your eyes and assume they all left the map as quickly as possible...
Everyone knows once a unit leaves the map they can't be destroyed.

10:55 The reason that the Engineers are also Elites is due to the game's coding: All your starting units come from the same Plane. The C&C Wiki has this entry explaining it:

They're all part of the same team with VeteranLevel=2 so they could be sent with one plane and still drop an elite Tanya. A trigger forces them into Teams which come with a Script to change their House for that "early" MC-thing that doesn't happen to Tanya. Engineers have no VeteranAbilities or EliteAbilities defined, so they receive no veterancy bonuses

TL;DR

Airdropped units spawning from the same Plane have the same Veterancy.

Over two decades later and I'll still never get tired of listening to this game's soundtrack. Viva la Klepacki!

I'd be interested in seeing the same goal (no units no buildings lost) on the Generals missions & generals challenges (both vanilla and zero hour)

[chavzone]

11:00 I can't remember if it ends the mission, but elite GIs have such ridiculous range and damage that they can - with a bit of careful positioning - wipe out the entire main base before the timer runs out. You might save some more units that way?

[flamingbird]

This is really an amazing challenge and I enjoyed watching the Soviets part haha

[JohnRRyder]

I remember as a kid I had the hardest time with the Pearl Harbor mission, but nothing compared to Cuba. I always figured Prism Tanks were the best bet, but the Apocalypse tanks kept frustrating me

Of course, thanks to you, now I understand the perfect counter to the bastards. Awesome video!

[GhstSecurity]

I've played this game since it came out, I've played Mental Omega and I've played the flipped missions.... not one damn time did I know you could cap the Mayan towers in vanilla RA2 and use them like in the flipped missions lol

[ShadeTavish]

14:21 dude was so committed to this run he went back in time to make sure NO UNITS were lost

For real though god I don't even want to imagine trying this myself

[thericeknight]

Amazing. Didn't think it's possible to save everyone.

Woah, the hacks for the silo mission and pearl harbor mission is just so awesome. Didn't know that those are possible.

[PurepOisn]

Hah, good stuff. You struck a nice balance between explaining things and throwing in the occasional joke. Great work!

The first video game I have ever touched, ever played was red alert😢 2, back in 2005 or 2004 I was about 4--5 years old, I used to sit in front of my uncle's PC and play it, It has a special place in my heart, damn when I listened to the tutorial music I felt something strange insdie me

[wulerhaufung]

I've wanted to see this idea come into play and now its real. You are pretty good!

14:13 The reason Carville packs weapons for the trip is because he's a Texan, simple as.

[TheActualChosenOne]

Great video man, keep it up! Looking forward to the expansion videos.

[thearchivist]

Great run! I think the most entertaining (and most frustrating) thing about this challenge is all the strategy you need to deal with all the janky scripting.

I'm surprised you were able to save so many people in Free Gateway; I always just let them die.

[ericzhi]

This game was my childhood man I can tell you put a lot of thought into these videos. See if you can ping Bryan Vahey I'd love to see his reaction to this

[sandpaper]

Your explanations are perfect.

Liked and subbed.
