Empire of the Rising Sun Missions

Mission 1 – Sakhalin Island – The Pride of the Vanquished

Our national defences on Sakhalin Island are under attack from the Soviets. Commander Kenji demands that you come to their aid immediately. As the Allies are occupying our Empire, our only chance is to send engineers behind enemy lines. They must capture Soviet structures so that you can use their units against them. Honour the Emperor’s last wish.

Main objectives:

1) Blend in with the Soviet reinforcements: Disguise your lightning Troop Crawler as a Soviet vehicle and blend in with their waves of reinforcements. They are so eager to attack Kenji that they will lead you straight to their most vulnerable troops.
2) Protect Commander Kenji: Wipe out the enemy assault forces before they reach Kenji’s position. The Commander’s base is all that stands between these red barbarians and our territory.
3) Capture the Soviet VIP pillbox: Take an Engineer to capture the Soviet VIP pillbox in the north-west-west and bring all their facilities in the area under your control. Their plans will be in tatters.
4) Destroy the Soviet forward base: Use Soviet forces against their own forward base to finally halt theassault on the position defended by Kenji.
5) Take out the grinders: The Soviets have terrifying vehicles, the grinders, designed to wipe out our forces in the area. Apparently, these grinders have light armour at therear. That’s where you need to aim to take them all out.

Secondary objectives:

1) Destroy the Soviet outpost: There is a small outpost in this area which serves as a rallying point for Soviet reinforcements. Eliminate it to buy time for Kenji’s forces.

Mission 2 – Oki Island – Before the Sacred Tomb

The Soviets are attempting to take control of Oki Island, and the Allies refuse to lend us a hand. It seems no one respects our imperial sanctuary. As the sanctuary of our late Emperors and the ancestral pride of our homeland, Oki Island must remain Japanese at all costs. You must prevent the Soviets from desecrating the imperial tombs and seizing control of the Oki Islands. Requisition Allied vehicles if necessary; it is up to you to honour the Emperor’s last will.

Main objectives:

1) Steal Allied vehicles: The Allies have ignored our calls for help in countering the Soviets. Never mind, we’ll help ourselves. Order our warriors to set up a Sleeper Ambush on the Reds… after fending off Allied retaliation, of course.
2) Deploy a peacekeeping tank at each Sleeper Ambush point: Send the Allied peacekeeping tanks to the designated impact points and use their special ability to deploy their Artillery. The Red Navy may be taken by surprise.
3) Make the Steel Ronin garrisonable structures: The Steel Ronin are doomed to guard the Imperial Tomb for all eternity. Have an infantry unit rouse them; the Steel Ronin will be awakened and thus redeem some of their honour in the battle to come.
4) Eliminate the Soviet navy: Sink the Soviet fleet before it sails down the canal to attack the Emperor’s tomb.
5) Protect the Emperor’s Tomb: Prevent the Soviets from destroying the Imperial Tomb where His Majesty Emperor Yoshiro rests. Itit is in him that the imperial people still find the strength to achieve great things.
6) Capture and defend the: Take engineers to capture the six observation posts in the area and eliminate the enemies there. These islands must be secured to block the path of the Soviet forces.

Mission 3 – Vladivostok – Blood-stained Waters

The Soviets will pay dearly for their attack on the Oki Islands. You will have the honour of leading the retaliation against the Soviet commanders responsible for this affront. Your mission concerns the Soviet port of Vladivostok, the focal point of the Union’s recent attacks on our territory. Here are your objectives: Destroy the operational base of Commander Oleg, who is in charge of the Soviet Union’s armoured units. Destroy the operational base of Commander Moskvin, who commands most of the Soviet experimental units. The Allies may intervene in the fighting; under no circumstances must they jeopardise our plans. Prove yourself worthy of our Emperor’s memory.

Main objectives:

1) Eliminate the Soviet frontline base: Wipe out the Soviet frontline base so that your forces can take up positions on dry land before continuing the assault.
2) Defeat Commander Oleg: Oleg’s base is located near the coast of Vladivostok. Decimate his army to avenge our brave compatriots who fell at Sakhalin.
3) Defeat Commander Moskvin: Commander Moskvin’s base is nestled in the hills above Vladivostok. Crush his forces to avenge the Soldiers who died in the Battle of Oki.

Secondary objectives:

1) Destroy Commander Giles’s base: Ah, it seems the Allies have woken up! Destroy their forces; they don’t deserve to be here. This battle is yours.

Allied Forces Missions

Mission 1 – Shin Iga Province – Lost Tradition

Commander Shinzo Nagama is holding out in his clan’s village. You have been ordered to capture him alive so that he may stand trial. Here’s the plan: establish a forward base near Shinzo’s base. Destroy the forces loyal to Shinzo. Capture Shinzo using cryo-technology. The conflict with the Empire of the Rising Sun is officially over, so we cannot deploy our full arsenal in this operation. It’s up to you to adapt, Commander. Good luck.

Main objectives:

1) Escort the VCM to the rendezvous point: Protect this mobile construction vehicle by following the waypoints and eliminating anything that stands in your way. Once you reach the designated point, you will gain control of our forward base.
2) Protect the VCM: This is a special mission, so you must ensure the VCM reaches its destination safely. If Shinzo’s forces manage to destroy it, he will almost certainly escape.
3) Defeat Shinzo’s followers: You must stop Shinzo’s army, which has vowed to fight the Allies to the last man, no matter what happens to their leader.
4) Freeze Shinzo’s residence: Use Cryocopters or similar weapons to freeze Shinzo’s compound, so that the military leader can be safely evacuated. Capture him alive; the plan is to transfer him to the Dakota detention centre for questioning.
5) Locate and freeze Shinzo’s camouflaged fulguro-Troop Crawler: Shinzo is attempting to escape in a fulgurocamouflaged as a Tsunami Tank.
Use your Cryocopters or cryogenic weapons to immobilise his vehicle before he escapes. Do not destroy the Troop Crawler; Shinzo must remain alive.

Secondary objectives:

1) Capture the Nagama Dojos: Even amongst Shinzo’s ranks, some realise this rebellion is futile. Capture his dojos for Prince Tatsu and they will rally to our cause rather than face a terrible punishment.

Mission 2 - Osaka – Rebels not permitted

Kenji Tensai, former Commander of the Shogunate, has been tracked down to his heavily fortified headquarters in Osaka. Your mission is to capture him alive. Find a way to neutralise the Nanoswarm Core defences blocking the route to Kenji’s HQ. Find a way to flush Kenji out. Once he has been located, we will be able to detain him using the Chronosphere network. The imperial military commander’s loyal warriors will put up fierce resistance. Good luck, Commander.

Main objectives:

1) Deactivate the Nanoswarm Cores’ shields: Several upgraded Nanoswarm Cores are blocking access to Kenji’s HQ. These impenetrable shields can remain active for days on end, so find a way to neutralise them.
2) Destroy Kenji’s HQ: Now that the Nanoswarm Cores are out of action, the way is clear to reach Kenji’s HQ. Go there and destroy it to drive Kenji out.
3) Destroy the techno-inhibitor and freeze Kenji: Kenji is using a reverse techno-inhibitor against us. It is preventing us from building vehicles and capturing him via the Chronosphere. Destroy this inhibitor so that our technology can function again, and use the cryo-legionnaires to freeze Kenji in his tracks. He will then be able to join Shinzo.

Secondary objectives:

1) Repair the bridges: Prince Tatsu asks you to repair the bridges in the area by sending Engineers to the Command Centers. This will allow his forces to come and go to lend you a hand.

Mission 3 – Miyako – The Shogun Reveals Himself

Takara, a rebel imperial commander, is hiding with the rest of her units near Miyako. She must be neutralised. According to Tatsu and Allied Command, this would put an end to the rebellion. Here is your mission: Penetrate Takara’s defensive perimeter with your VCM. Eliminate Takara and her defensive units. Compel Tatsu’s forces to support you in your final objective. This operation must put an end to the insurrection in the Empire of the Rising Sun; proceed with caution. Good luck.

Main objectives:

1) Establish a base at one of the infiltration points: Break through Commander Takara’s lines with your forces. Establish a defensible position as quickly as possible. We have identified two suitable areas for your forward base.
2) Defeat Takara: Neutralise the dissident forces loyal to Commander Takara to put an end to this bloody civil war.
3) Defeat Tatsu: Tatsu is a traitor; we should never have trusted him! He has launched a major counter-offensive. You are his prime target. Defeat his army so that lasting peace may finally reign in the Empire of the Rising Sun.

Secondary objectives:

1) Capture the abandoned communications tower: Prince Tatsu will alert you to reserve forces that may come to your aid if you manage to take control of the abandoned Radar Upgrade in this area with the help of an Engineer.

Soviet Missions

Mission 1 – Romania – Assault on the Lost Castle

We need you to investigate Allied activities in Romania with a view to freeing the Seekers: you will command theintervention unit. Here are your objectives: According to our sources, the Allies are testing new technology in the area. You must meet with their informants and win them over to our cause. Retrieve our Seekers who are being held hostage in the area. Bring the scientists back safely to the port for extraction. Good luck.

Go and meet them at all the marked locations to form your own opinion of the situation.
2) Rescue the Seekers: Several Seekers from the Ministry of Experimental Sciences, presumed dead, appear to be working here on Allied weapons against their will. Find them and rescue them.
3) Evacuate at least one Seeker safely: The Seekers must know something interesting about the Allies’ projects. We need this information! Escort them to the harbour so they can be questioned in a secure environment.

Secondary objectives:

1) Evacuate all researchers safely: Escort the seekers to the harbour, where they will be evacuated. Their knowledge is invaluable and it would be best if they all arrived safely so that they can work for us.

Mission 2 – Murmansk – Resourceful intruders

According to our agents, FutureTech Corporation has set up a research centre on our territory, in Murmansk. You must carry out a reconnaissance mission in the area to assess the enemy threat. Your objective is clear: infiltrate the FutureTech research centre to find out more about its activities. Once there, await further orders. Exercise extreme caution; our intelligence on FutureTech’s defences in the region is limited.

Main objectives:

1) Spy on the FutureTech facility: Avoid the patrols and climb the hill to observe the FutureTech Corp research complex. This will allow you to learn more about their projects.
2) Regroup at the village: Return to take cover in the village, then station your troops in the garrisonable structures. Hold your position until reinforcements arrive.
3) Wipe out the FutureTech complex: Use all the resources at your disposal to assemble an army capable of infiltrating the FutureTech Corp. complex with a view to destroying it. FutureTech’s presence is an unacceptable offence.

Secondary objectives:

1) Free the Soviet soldiers: Several of our brothers are being held in labour camps. Infiltrate them and free our friends: they will help you on your mission and, if all goes well, they will return home with you.

Mission 3 – Yucatan – A Bright Future

A FutureTech military base has been discovered in the Yucatan; it is the same one as the units that attacked us in Siberia, so it must be destroyed. An assault unit under your command will lead the offensive; here are your objectives: Neutralise the observation posts around the island. This will allow us to send in fresh reinforcements without abandoning our position. Intercept the ore convoys to use FutureTech’s own resources against them. Eliminate the FutureTech base and all its experimental weapons. Discretion is essential, Commander. The element of surprise is our only advantage in this mission.

Main objectives:

1) Neutralise the enemy on the outer islands: You will have to make do with these few forces to eliminate the Allies encountered on each of these islands. Then, from this small base, we will be able to launch the main assault.
2) Destroy the prospectors: Prospectors loaded with ore are on their way to FutureTech’s HQ. Shoot them down before they reach their destination; their funds will serve our cause.
3) Destroy FutureTech’s military HQ: FutureTech is in the process of building up an entire army and is using its military HQ as a rallying point. Destroy all traces of FutureTech.

Secondary objectives:

1) Destroy FutureTech’s facilities: Destroy FutureTech’s facilities to hinder the firm’s weapons production, which is jeopardising the Union’s future.

Mission 4 – Sigma Island – Time is running out

Our target is the Sigma Harmoniser. This imposing structure is the culmination of FutureTech’s research. Its capabilities remain unknown to our agents, but we know its location and are preparing a large-scale attack. Here’s what you need to do: Neutralise the coastal defences protecting the Sigma Harmoniser. Our assault units will then be able to launch their attack. Destroy FutureTech’s research centre and factories. Nothing must be left standing. Next, focus on destroying the Sigma Harmoniser before it is activated. If you succeed in this mission, FutureTech will be significantly weakened, exposing its self-centred conspiracy to the whole world. It’s up to you.

Main objectives:

1) Establish a base on Sigma Island: Our resistance forces are ready to establish a bridgehead on Sigma Island, but they are expecting a swift and aggressive retaliation from FutureTech. Make sure you position your VCM in a safe spot on the island before deploying it to the Construction Yard, and assemble a heavy assault force. Be warned: danger can come from anywhere; FutureTech will not hesitate to use all its weapons to stop us. The problem is that we do not know the extent of the enemy’s arsenal on the island.
2) Destroy FutureTech’s production capacity: Sigma Island is the heart of FutureTech’s weapons production. The factories are running at full capacity to produce formidable new war machines. Destroy every production facility you come across.
3) Shut down the Sigma Harmoniser: The Sigma Harmoniser is connected to a structure known as the ‘harmonisation controller’, which powers it. Destroy the harmonisation controller before the Sigma Harmoniser reaches full power.

Secondary objectives:

1) Destroy the base controlling the airspace: The enemy has monopolised the airspace using jamming devices and its air superiority. Level this airbase so that aircraft production can resume.
2) Capture the cooling towers: FutureTech’s arsenals generate enormous amounts of heat. The cooling towers on the island are therefore essential. Send your Combat Engineers to capture the cooling towers to slow down the production of future tanks and temporarily disable those already in service.
