I've used that mod, it is good.

The story is that the allies won and Yuri was imprisoned in the Tower of London (clearly putting him inside a major tourist attraction in the middle of a busy capital city was the safest and most discreet place to put him).

Yuri has discovered mind control and has somehow erected mind control towers over the entire world, except San Francsisco, which conviniently has its tower broken (God only knows how Yuri managed to do this without raising questions or applying for planning permission, but there you go).

The allies invent a time machine (also with very conviniently) and use it to go back in time. The Soviets decide they want to win as well so also get involved.

Play as the allies or soviets and stop Yuri, starting in San Francisco, going onto London, Egypt, Sydney and other places. Oh and Carville is brought back to life (God knows why they need the fat useless buffoon )


Skirmish is greatly improved, allowing you to set them to teams and choose their starting locations. There are also new maps and new ways of playing.

Ah, if you play as the Soviets you get to force her to join the Communist way in London

Carville is a Xenophobe who criticises Europe (and Canada). I'm glad the pro-wrestler lookalike blew him to ikkle pieces

Complete the game in the add-on and you take her to the ball instead of Tanya.

yes, but your Pseudo-Thatcher looked like there is a huge log stuck up her ass. I guess they went for realism.

That's odd, because IIRC one of the newspaper headlines on the Allied end sequence has the date "May 1st 1972" or something similar. According to this, the game is set in the early 70's.

Does it? Maybe Thatcher got elected early due to the commie invasion then
