Unbeknownst to Einstein, this backfires and causes Joseph Stalin and the Soviets to rise to power. The story of the Red Alert series takes place in an alternate timeline, where Albert Einstein has discovered a way to travel back in time and has erased Adolf Hitler from existence. However, Einstein stopped one evil only to create another – because Stalin’s Soviet Union is now poised to conquer Europe… and Allies must stop them! What if Hitler never existed? Einstein pondered the question and created a time-machine to eliminate Hitler as a young man, thus preventing World War II as history remembers it. The game has a variety of environments in its missions, adding some indoor missions that use only infantry units. Gameplay features are similar to those of the previous game, including building a base with some defenses, massing units, harvesting resources, etc. The player takes control of either the Allies or the Soviets, as he battles for destiny of the planet.
