Basics
Key of cheesing missions is mass usage of devastating combo - Ballistic missiles + Chemical weapons because you dont have to limit usage of chemical weaponry in most of cases.

Another way of cheesing missions is destroying enemy's nuclear forces with one strike and then mass usage of nuclear armanaments

You are short of time and you need just 1-2 minutes to capture last enemy's city to complete all objectives? You SHOULD use genocide or chemical weapons to kill civilians!



In mission 4 i had bug. In mission 7 i left mission before 5 starring it and didnt managed to repeat my achievment
Mission 1: Korean war.
First of all you should build Ballistic missile sites, 26-34 will be enough. Then you should scout enemy's aircraft (Bases&carriers) and destroy them by SRBMs (we dont have MRBMs....).

(You should place rocket silos around Changchun)
(In most of cases you should build as much rocket silos as you can and divide them into groups F1 F2 F3 with 14+ rocket silos)

Secondly you have to research basic chemical weaponry. Now you have power to completely wipe out american forces, just bomb'em out with chemical weapons (they deal a lot of damage though).

Thirdly you should wipe out all enemy forces including subs... So build many subs and destroy em'all (dont forget about army base&airbase close to Fukuoka)

Reminder: you still have 3 army divisions, use them to defend Chongjin
Mission 2: Caribean crisis....
You dont have any ability to cheese it. take as many ships as you can and try to not lose any ship.....
Mission 3: Soviet-Chinese, Vietnam-US war.
Take Improved Chemical Weapons, rocket launchers as many as you can and build even more.

Warning! This mission tracks Chinese casualities so you can do around 40-50 direct hits in Chinese cities with chemical warheads and 200+ non-direct hits

But on the other hand you can declare total war against US forces in Vietnam and completely wipe out their army units with chemical weaponry.

First step - destroy all chinese airbases and rocket launchers (rocket launchers appear after declaring war to US)

Second step - destroy all chinese army divisions, which blocking your primary objectives: Kashgar, Urumqi Harbin.

Third step - keep destroying chinese reinforcments and capture these cities.

Fourth step - Wipe out US forces by rockets with Sarin. (you can do it between any of 1-3 steps though. US forces are kittens, just dont let them bomb your rocket launchers)
Mission 4: African war.
This mission tracks casualities but kill 1 million people with chemical warheads? Impossible, if you dont do like 100+ direct hits in cities

Take as many rocket launchers as you can... Divide them into groups... Destroy all enemy forces... How boring...

Build 5-10 subs to destroy US's reinforcments ( they will come from Western side of Africa )
Mission 5: North European war.
This mission dont track enemy's casualities so feel free to commit warcrimes. But US have nuclear subs make sure you WILL NOT attack them (devs said they placed them far from mission area, sooo you will not meet them... Probably)

First of all you should bomb ALL airbases even in Germany, France, Norway, Denmark ( but firstly destroy Sweden and Finnish air forces ), then use your chemical warheads to destroy enemy forces. Easy!

After captue of Finland NATO and US will send HUGE waves of divisions, navy forces and place several airbases. You know what to do.

To complete all objectives you should do airborn assault of Germany, Iceland and maybe Denmark (you still can capture them by ground or by navy, but air is faster&cheaper)
Mision 6: Soviet reunion.
This mission tracks casualities but kill 1 million people with chemical warheads? Impossible, if you dont do like 100+ direct hits in cities)

First of all you should bomb ALL airbases except German, then destroy rebel's nuclear sub

Now we're bombing all enemy forces with chemical weaponry and capture them all... Booooriiiing!

(Make sure your divisions will not enter west germany...)

Also this mission dont have anything against nuclear weapons... So... you know what to do!
Mission 7: Terrorist victory.
I hate that mission... I somehow managed to five star it but seems like i had bug or left mission before final result..

It is pure buggy hell. Somehow i lose 200k of people even in DEFCON 1. you can still use chemical warfare but you shouldnt kill more than 500k of Afghanistan people and 200k of Soviet people.

i dont really know how to do this mission without tons of luck. Here's my example: enemy division spawned literally IN my city, and then instantly got pushed away by my army division in this city, but terrorists sieged city for 1 second.

I literally DIDNT HAVE ANY OPTION TO NOT FAIL MISSION OBJECTIVE UUUUUUUUUUGH
Mission 8: Japanese war.
I think conventional war is boring and i dont want to try hard this mission so here's easiest way to cheese it:

First of all you should block Disaster relief ships with your subs and ships.

Take as many ICBM TEL vehicles as you can and build like 10 more place them in somewhere in Siberia. Build 5-10 Ballistic Missile Site and place them between Neryungri and Blagoveshchensk.

Research AWACS and scout American ICBM silos, create warplan (plan Armageddon) to destroy them all in ONE moment. Build many MRBMs with 5 MT warheads and create another warplan (plan Alpha), which use your rocket sites to wipe out enemy forces.

Execute plan Armadeddon. Watch crush of Ameriacan dream. Modify it to destroy american cities. Why? Because US's AI decides to build SSBN and Airbase with Nuclear forces and you DONT really want to get hit with 50 MT bomb.

Execute plan Alpha. Japan gets a lot of megatons and you can invade it. Dont forget about Disaster relief ships and enemy's subs you need to destroy them.



YOU ARE VICTORIOUS
Mission 9: Arctic ocean skirmish
Warning! This mission tracks hits of Ballistic missiles and hits of nuclear strikes! Don't attack any territory, which isnt your objective with ballistic missiles&armies. Don't attack any territory&territorial water alligned to enemy's countries with nuclear armanaments. But blowing up some ships in neutral waters with 50 MT bomb is still fine.

Take 10-15 Ballistic missile sites, place them equally around Murmansk and in Kamchatka, 1-2 ICBM TEL Vehicle. Other points go for subs. ( you may take 1-2 airbases with super-sonic bombers)

Build ICBMs and MRBMs ( you should have at least 5 MARV rockets in storage of each type) i prefer 1 MT MRBM and 5 MT ICBM. Send 4-5 subs into Canada-Greenland sea through Arctic ocean, send 5-6 subs in Pacific ocean, send 5-6 subs in Greenland-Norway. If you had taken super sonic bombers build 50 MT bombs. Then start building 40-50 subs.

When you're ready with nuclear forces start war by sending 3 groups of 3 strategic bombers to NATO airbases in Denmark and Norway. When war started send your rockets to destroy ALL NAVY ( Note, this mission is first with Anti Ballistic Missile defence, so use MARV to destroy cruisers and sometimes even destroyers). Keep your subs safe, they're your intel along with sattelites.

Dont forget about enemy's airbases. Air raid with 4-5 strategic bombers with GBU will be enough ( if enemy dont have any radar close to airbase)

When enemy's navy and airbases are gone send your game-start fleets to greenland, send army diviosions (2 will be enough) to greenland and other to Candian Arctic.

Build 15-20 Ballistic missile sites, 4-5 SAM, 2-3 radars 1 army base and 1-2 army divisions, place them in arctic canada, SAM must be around border Canada-US (Alaska) to intercept reinforcments. Then destroy enemy's airbases in Alaska with your MRBMs (conventional). Switch to VX gas and kill american divisions. Send your division in Anchorage.

You're victorious
Mission 10: Chinese-Mongolian war
Warning! This mission tracks nuclear weaponry! You shouldnt attack any Chinese territory with nuclear weapons!

Take as much rocket launchers as you can. Build 5-10 outposts and SAMs, place them near your rocket launchers to defend them from Chinese special operatives and air forces.

Your rockets launchers should be divided into groups of 35-36. When war starts you should destroy all enemy's air bases (15-20 MRBMs to every airbase is enough). Kill invading divisions with your VX gas MRBMs. Then kill all your antagonising forces. use airborn assault to capture all objectives, dont forget about intelligence.

You're victorious
Final Mission: Burial Rites... True....
I dont know how to pass this mission without abusing 100% of pollution.

First variant: Take 102 ICBM TEL vehicle. Place in queue more light ICBM missiles.

Second variant: Take Pure fusion, take as much ICBM TEL vehicles as you can. Place in queue more light ICBM missiles.

Create war plan (plan Armaggedon) choose your SSBNs and ICBM TEL, your only target is enemy's cities....

When war starts emergency execute plan Armaggedon and watch... Watch War, which will end all wars in the world.

YOU ARE VICTORIOUS?

Love your guide,spamming rocket launchers is really a genius idea.Will you make a new guide for the new DLC?

As for the seventh mission, one must use recon (build some radar stations, for ex.). The terrorist divisions are invisible for anything but the radar. I did this and found that the divisions spawn quite far away from cities. For me, this was the solution. Or maybe this mission is truly bugged to hell.
