== Walkthrough ==
(This Walkthrough assumes hard difficulty)
The first mission of the Soviet campaign is pretty straightforward, nearly impossible to lose. After you lose access to the main mission area, use the Yaks to attack the barrels near the Ranger and riflemen. After they go up, use the paratroopers to mop up any stragglers. Then you have a choice of going after either of the three villages. Simply coming near them will reveal the fog of war, so go near and then use the Yak aircraft to strafe barrels and Rangers.
The northernmost village is defended by pillboxes, which make mincemeat out of infantry, however they are positioned quite close to some barrels, creep up and uncover the village, then strafe everyone down with Yaks.
The mission will end once everyone is killed and every civilian building has been destroyed.

* This is one of the only instances in the Command & Conquer franchise that children (specifically) were actually killed. While it does not explicitly occur on-screen, it is still heavily implied with the post-mission cinematic.
