DFuxa Plays Command & Conquer Red Alert Remastered - Campaign - Allied 8 A Part 1
The jump in difficulty between the two maps for Allied Mission 8 is immense. In the alternate of these missions which I played long ago, you get several advantages over the Soviets that help you out immensely.
The same can not be said for this one though - Protect the Chronosphere (North). The Soviets are far more capable of dealing critical blows to you as you have to thwart Naval Landings, air attacks, and ground assaults. I have to turn the game speed down really slow just to keep tabs on everything that is happening - though note this is somewhat a result of me playing it blind.
During this first part of the mission I take several blows that see multiple buildings getting blown up and ugly losses inflicted. However I at least make adequate showing of mine layers to help defend myself so it has that going for it!
