5 missions of Rise of the Reds Act2: ECA European Campaign. (Fan-made)
PLEASE NOTE: THIS CAMPAIGN WILL ONLY WORK WITH ROTR 1.87, NOT 1.86. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ALL MISSIONS ON 1.86 DUE TO THE CHANGES BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS.
As there has been a new version of 1.87 (2.0) I recommend you use that version to play this campaign. Using the previous version of 1.87 may work, however I cannot guarantee it.
To install 1.87, you must first become a member of SWR Productions, simply go to:
Forums.swr-productions.com
and register in order to download the latest version. Instructions on how to download 1.87 will be in the '1.87 Public Build Testing'. You don't have to be an active member, and it doesn't cost anything. Just use your membership to download if you wish.
You can also use the SWR Community Server on Discord for the link to 1.87 if you wish.
To play this mission, extract the mission files from the .zip file into:
Documents>Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data>Maps
Then open Rise of the Reds, go to Skirmish>Unofficial Maps, and they should be in there.
Note:
Using addons may cause issues with campaign, particularly the mission intros. For the best experience, please do not use addons (your call, I don't mind either way).
Act 2: The Euro-Russian War
The events of Remus City and the Anthrax Pools has led to an event that millions feared yet a few wanted: War between the ECA and Russian Federation.
To the ECA's surprise, Russia shifted its main army from Africa to the European border during the latter stages of the superpower's African Campaigns. This has allowed Russia to strike at eastern Europe with little to no resistance from the ECA. With the main army still in Africa, a few battle-hardened ECA Generals rush to the defence of the Europe's vulnerable eastern nations. Will they be able to hold off the Russian bear with so few forces, or will Russia dominate the continent within weeks?

Good job sir or mam and can't wait to get my hands on but will this get intregated into mod or is it stand alone. Why i am asking well because i don't know how to get custom missions running.
Instructions on where to place the mission is in the description.
You Really should do multiplayer maps.
Not my thing.
Ok as you want ;)
anyway keep good work it is so nice mission a little bit hard but it was good to try it.
cant wait for the full campagin
Nice work. Cant wait to try it. Did you remember to add those missing music scripts :p ?
Yes, yes I did :D
wish i could play this but my pc hasn't been installed yet. Maybe it take some times
But in orlovs campaign (spoiler) in the first mission it shows that the Russian army managed to reach Berlin. (Over)
Orlov's campaign happens waaayy later in the story. I'm curious, why do you always end your comments with (Over)? :p
So pretty much the campaign is about slowing down the Russian army before the arrival of orlov who is still in Africa along side with the retreating ECA forces. (OVER)
Orlov isn't allied with the ECA, he is still a Russian General.
However, he was completely against the idea with war against the ECA.
That was until he saw the ECA turn on him at Anthrax Pools in response to the "Russian" attack of Remus city (something Orlov did not know about). So Orlov now supports the war with the ECA, but the atrocities he sees Aleksandr's troops performs makes him question the war again.
Orlov's campaign will be redone at a much, much later date.
I didn't mean that he was allied with ECA I played the entire story so far(because Iam a fan of single player campaigns) and I know that Alexander started the whole thing. BTW what do you mean orlov's camping will be redone? (OVER)
Orlov's Campaign will be updated and include more missions, you'll also play as Orlov instead of a commander in his charge
It's really nice to play the main character. Thanks a lot. Let me guess the additional missions are before Alexander's attack on Moscow because after that mission orlov said that Russia would negotiate with ECA for peace.(OVER)
Because I say over to make it looked like that Iam in a Battlefield or something like that since this command and conquer. Even my name says so.thanks for replying (OVER) :)
Fair enough, whatever makes you happy (over) ;)
(Copy that)
I am late. But here it is.
Looking good!
I wish I was better at rts... Everytime there's time constraints, I always seems to loose ;_;
ECA Mission 3 happen right after Zhukov mission 2, right?
Correct
this fourth mission is excellent. no lag and gameplay was so enjoyable, having a lot of units at my disposal to counter the russian offensive. one thing:
i defeated alexandr before the defense timeout. was something supposed to happen?
because it said nothing. i just needed to construct the pandora and the mission was completed :)
Good to know it works better
Yeah, you had the choice to destroy Aleksandr or just hold out until the timer expired as stated in the first objective
No point hanging around for 5 mins if you've destroyed your enemy already :p
The last mission was easier than expected. While 3 enemy superweapons may scare you in the beginning, after I noticed they are in a vulnerable position, a couple of Mortar Tracks + Targeting System made shortwork of them.
Probably only me who ignore the 2nd Solaris Relay.
I had to destroy it using bulldog turret after that.
*sigh...* Whenever I try to access that damn link it just shows a white screen with the text "Could not determine your IP address", so i'm **** outta luck on getting that elusive 1.87 public beta 2.0 until that's rectified somehow, I still dunno why it does that, I really don't... -_-

Hey OP, these seem super cool, but everytime I try to run the 1st mission the game freezes just after the intro, any suggestions?
As soon as I run the second mission the game crashes. This also happens when I try to run some (but not all) of your other campaign missions. Any way to fix it?
