Help!

Should I have units from just Vanilla* RA1, or should I toss in the units from the Aftermath and Counterstrike as well?

Also, a note about weaponry: Red Alert units will have Red Alert weapons (even if that means completely unrealistic ones, but then again, I'm shooting for Ralism in this fic). The 'strange black rifle' in Chapter 1 is an M16, for instance. Keep in mind: Despite the 1950's setting, Red Alert's overall tech level is that of the Vietnam war (with some odd bits, such as Tesla Tanks and Soviet Shock Troopers).

---Soviet Base, Gallia, 1935---

The Soviet Commander pounded his hand against the armor of his Heavy Tank, a double barrel T-80, and tossed an angry look at the soldier who had relayed bad news to him.

The soldier had told of an allied presence noted by a Spy Plane that had killed the scouting party sent to the town of "Bruhl" to clear things out for heavier forces, such as Grenadiers and Flamethrowers. An Allied group of three squads of infantry, and two tanks, an Abrams medium tank and a Patton light tank, had killed the party.

An Allied group.

The Commander declared (for the umpteenth time) his hatred for the Chronosphere, even if the device was responsible for the remnants of the Union's mighty armies being deployed so distantly as to be in a different place and time, in another time line.

Again, the sound of flesh against steel.

The Commander looked upon the troops in front of him. With their AK-47s and RPG-2s and hand grenades, they stood ready to fight, and frankly, didn't care if it was the Allied swine or these "Gallians" that they filled with lead and rockets.

He patted the armor on the tank, then motioned for his troops to move out. Apparently, the fairly random Chrono-drop had placed the Mobile Construction Vehicle in proximity with an area known as "Randgriz," the Gallian capital, supposedly.

The troops piled into the GAZ-AA supply trucks, and a force consisting of ten twin-cannon Heavy Tanks followed them.

---Allied Base, Near Bruhl---

He rode in a strange tank of identical abilities to these Medium tanks used by the "Allies." The darker blues of the Edelweiss contrasted minutely with the lighter blues and grays of the Pattons, though the 88mm gun nicely supplemented the 75mm autocannons of the Pattons and the 90mm guns of the Abramses.

His sister apparently was both the caretaker of such a vehicle, and more than a little confused about these "Allies" having tanks that matched up exactly with the Edelweiss.

Welkin felt a bit distraught at the Allies grinding the treads of the Abrams tanks crushing many an animal beneath them, but Imperial forces were more than enough to convince him that it was for the better. Isara was still trying to make heads and tails of the Allies not only coming up with, but mass producing their own Edelweisses. Alicia simply gripped her rifle, firing it at the Imperial soldiers who had come to pick up were the Soviets left off. The Soviets had done more than enough already; she wasn't about to let Imperials pick up where they left off.

The cracking sounds of the M16 rifles used by the Allied soldiers nearly drowned out the thunderous bangs created by both the Edelweiss, the Abrams medium tanks, and the Patton and light tanks.

That Chopping sound. Alicia ducked behind the turret, Welkin ducked into the turret, and Isara wasn't out in the open in the first place. The sound was accompanied by the cheering of the Allied troops; the three of them looked up, and noted the light gray paint jobs on the Helicopters, as the two of them opened up on the Imperial forces.

The grays of the Imperials conflicted with those of the Allied troops, but the numbers of troops in brown and gray was decreasing rapidly as rockets poured from the helicopters onto the enemy.

Pum. Pum. Pum.

Pish Pish Pish.

Cra-cra-crack, cra-cra-crack.

Fweesh... kersh...

---Randgriz High Command---

Damon looked out his window. The startling sight of the strange black flying machines, accompanied by the chopping and whining sounds. His troops were being overwhelmed by the airborne machines, and he regretted having disregarded that Darscen idea of aircraft.

A loud roar, followed by the sounds of rockets firing and an explosion.

Outside, the Army was getting eaten alive by the enemy troops; the Gallian tanks falling in droves to the ten twin-cannon tanks the enemy had.

"General! The armored car is waiting!"

"Yes; yes... it is lost here! We shall ret..."

Another roar, rockets, and an explosion. Damon, and with him, the normal Army's only hope of survival, disappeared to a well-placed salvo from a passing MiG-29 Fulcrum. The Army tossed down their weapons; the Soviets took no prisoners; they had no interest in having more people than they needed. They also held no interest in civilians, either.

---End Chapter 2---

*Vanilla refers to the version of the game without any changes (No player-made mods, or official expansion packs).

The Soviets mindlessly slaughtering everyone spawns from early Soviet campaign missions: The player is instructed on multiple occasions that killing Civilians is OK, and even encouraged in some cases.

And something dawned on me: When I compared the Armored Trooper from VC2 to the Allied Peacekeeper from RA3 (and that all you need to do is throw Molotov cocktails at it), someone noted how weird a VC/RA3 crossover would get. Well, 1. Gallia is screwed, and 2. it would only be a matter of time before it becomes a great Commie back stab clusterfuck. Really, Red Alert revolves around the Reds backstabbing people. Red Alert: Stalin's Cronies, and Kane, to a degree. Red Alert 2: Yuri (who backstabs the Soviet Union as a whole!), and Yuri's Revenge has the Player backstabbing the Allies and Yuri. Red Alert 3: Cherdenko (Played by Tim Curry, no less!), to Krukov, the Allies, and The Player. And RA3: Uprising is just one BIG back stab on part of the player. So Yeah.

So a VC/RA3 crossover would work like this:

1. Sovs and Imps work together; Crush Allies/Federation/Gallia.

2. Soviets backstab Empire

3. Imps and Soviets blow the shit out of each other.

4. Allies/Federation/Gallia get their acts together, and attack the Sovs and Imps.

5. Outside Party (Japan, Yuri, Purple People Eaters) decides "All your country are belong to us!"

6. Everyone gang rapes Outside Party.

7. Soviets backstab everyone.

8. Allies backstab Gallia and Federation

9. Allies win! Yay!

10. Soviets go back in time and screw things up.

11. Repeat steps 1-10 as needed.

Please Review. Or... I'll have a GCBC (Giant Commie Backstab Clusterfuck)!
