Description
I had a funny situation in the skirmish in which I did this. At some point in the middle of the game (it was a free-for-all with brutal AIs), I lost my Soviet Construction Yard to a Tanya that had been airlifted into my base (I don't really put up air defences unless someone will end up building Kirovs). almost as a bit of revenge, I took the offending player's MCV and built an allied addition to my base until I captured another Soviet MCV. I then did a What-the-Hell case of capturing the oil derricks in the center of the map (Bering Straits) and built a nice compact assembly of at least 10 war factories, 2 Grand Cannons, and countless SAM sites and pillboxes for added measure.I then took an hour ferrying apocalypse tanks from this outlet to the outer islands before launching the final assault. The entire skirmish took a little over three hours.

Oooh I see, sweet 8D can't wait to see it! Actually just thinking maybe RA1 or TD might even be a better choice for a D-Day scene xD

Heh, I could also do the traditional "Storm the Beaches of Normandy" type scenario with amphibious transports. At least the troops would last longer than by helicopter.

That would be a good idea xD I reckon if you could get it set up properly it would make an awesome screenshot 8D
Buutt oooh the micromanagement of it all D:

Thank God the designers of the game allowed for the player to use waypoints!

True true xD Hmm it might even be worthwhile to choreograph the whole thing using a map editor, if you were so inclined. FinalAlert 2 (or something, LOOONG time since I last used it) should let you do that fairly easily.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that.

No probs, map editors like that are great for motivators or machinima.. I remember my fave used to be the operation flashpoint one 8D

Definitely something that Rommel would have been proud of if he commanded this division.

Well, the three-hour game had to had to end in a bang, and this was the closest thing I could muster. Still did pretty well, don't you think?

Yeah, I was kind of watching Mythbusters at the time - turning Jamie's moped into a no-ped with 150m of det-cord wrapped around the thing to emphasize the end. Then they lit 1,000lbs of Thermite packed into a car.

Then they replayed a clip involving them blowing the crap out of a cement truck in a quarry because they couldn't find anything to do with it... right at the very end before the credits!

Definitely the best thing about perfection!
