Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
A popular choice of many European militaries is the Bandvagn family of Swedish all-terrain vehicles, whose unique articulated design gives them exceptional mobility in snow, swamp, desert and mountain environments. Besides the many combat-oriented variants, such as the Lynx personnel carrier and the Fenris cryogenic weapons carrier, the simple Supply Tracks play a key role in the logistical sustainment of ECA operations and can be converted into medical or repair support vehicles as needed, or ordered directly from a Field Command Post as such.
The Engineer Track is equipped with a bulldozer blade and a utility crane to repair European hardware in the field. The Third World War produced an extensive list of highly distinguished engineering personnel of whom some examples shall be provided:
During the Russian invasion of the Baltic countries in the summer of 2045, Vladimir Cernavskis of the Latvian Army repaired a broken detonator while under fire to complete the destruction of a critical motorway bridge that bought additional time for the evacuation of Riga, sacrificing his own life in the act.
After the fall of Berlin and surrender of the German government in 2046, the Bundeswehr fought on, including Tobias Liang whose unit was repairing battle-damaged tanks on the French side of the Rhine when a vanguard of Russian paratroopers attacked. The small engineer detachment held on for a half hour until reinforcements arrived.
During the counter-offensives of 2048, European forces had to clear thousands of unexploded munitions, including one dramatic instance where a thermobaric bomb was found near a historic church. Instead of detonating it safely, French Army specialist Gabriel Baron chose to dismantle it alone in a tense operation.

Tobias Liang? Sounds like someone got busy during the Eurasian Unity League days
i like that green tent and crane it looks like The Car built for Homer's bubble dome and giant spoiler
Exquisite reference 😆
"After the fall of Berlin and surrender of the German government in 2046, the Bundeswehr fought on" Why shall German government unilaterally surrender when they're in this together with other ECA nations and their armies integrated under European Continental Army ? It may potentially cause a lot of problems for the ECA as a whole, other member states and Bundeswehr, like how France and Belgium surrendered in WW2, especially if Russia props up some kind of "Vichy" Germany.
It felt appropriate to paint the ECA as a more internally disparate entity, befitting the fact that it is an alliance of several countries, whose civilian governments might judge the odds of victory vs defeat differently at various key points of the war. Some fight longer than others, some fight to the last man or go into insurgency, some retreat with the frontline to fight another day - and some figure it may be in their best interest to stop fighting.
So WW2 all over again...Looking forward to stories about collaborators, legitimacy crisis of now "rouge" Bundeswehr, ROTR equivalent of Operation Catapult, Unternehmen Panzerfaust, etc.
Clearing mines and stuff are the bread of butter of these things?
