Great missions some are definitely well inspired.
One weird issue i had with this mod is off map enemies spawning way too fast on "normal" compared to what i've seen in gameplay videos on "hard".
For example in "biting the apple" enemy chinooks and transports are landing with me barely having enough time to kill the initial groups(along with all 3 baracks and i'm pretty sure the war factory instant spamming units), its to the point that its not winnable without turning on CFA patch and veterancy. Even then i have to get lucky and farm exp to get elite mammoths and teslas because otherwise everything swarms way too too much to the point that nothing can save you because you get 20 tanks and 300 rifles on you way too fast.
Love the missions but a few definitely feel like they needed another pass due to bugs, for example in the next soviet mission you can build a nuke silo but you won't get a nuke, meanwhile even if you destroy the allied one they will still get a nuke.

Sven Van Der Plank is a youtuber and a big Command & Conquer enthusiast.

He has made Mission orders for Tiberium Dawn, Red Alert and Tiberium Sun.

Here is his youtube channel,

And here is his notes for his mission order in Red Alert, he later added Counterstrike & Aftermath to the mission order too.

He place Soviet mission 7 "Core of the Matter" as the mission where Tanya was captured. Tthe mission is set in Chernobyl Ukraine.

If Tanya landed in Greece like in your timeline she could theoretically enter Ukraine from the south and then infiltrate the nuclear plant So it sill match up with Sven Van Der Planks timeline.

Hi Jim, that mission in Side Ops takes place just before Tanya's Tale. The idea is she is being dropped off, and will then be ambushed by the Soviets.

Not sure who Sven Van Der Plank is, but I guess they're up on their Red Alert lore?

I suppose I could do something that shows where all the missions are in the time line... but there are 68 now ha!

Really love this project, but i'm a bit confused about the timeline.

Some missions are a no brainer to figure out, but some are a bit harder to pinpoint.

I am following Sven Van Der Planks chronological timeline, and trying to put in the Side-Ops missions in that timeline to see how it match up.

But some missions like "Aegian Ingress" with Tanya arriving at the shore of Greece at the end, is making me wonder if it is after or before "Tanya's Tale (Allied Mission 5)

Woul be really greatful if you could show your thoughts about the timeline.

Hi Aus, thank you very much, you're too kind!

That interleaving idea is actually my end goal for Side Ops eventually (when I'm good enough to do so!).

If you ever decide to figure out how best to do that I'd be happy to work with you.

Finished both the Allied and Soviet missions, really fun stuff. I like how they follow the tech curve and mission themes of the original campaign, you could even mix them into the original to make a mega campaign, which I might try next time. I also appreciated the QoL changes like allowing MCVs to be built and adding a lot more ore to the maps.

Tax only uploaded 9 videos then he stopped. Maybe he encountered an issue?

Hi Dr, hmm, perhaps I will if I ever figure out how to do so. You could always check out TaxOwlBear's playthrough: {LINK REMOVED}.

You should make a Youtube series showing us how you beat the missions because I can't help but feel like I broken a few missions somehow. Otherwise these are really fun.
