Red Alert: From the Ashes is a Game Mod for the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert that was developed by modder Zaptagious. Set after the Soviet ending, the mod is a full-fledged fan campaign bridging the gap between Red Alert and Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn.Stalin's dream of a continental Soviet Union has finally become a reality, although the communist leader only got to savor it for a short moment before his assassination. The role of Premier now falls to you at the behest of a man you have only ever known as Kane.While Kane's true origins remains shrouded in mystery, you have devoutly followed him and his Brotherhood nonetheless, as a true believer to Nod's cause.And now, at a crucial nexus point, together you will pave the way for the Brotherhood of Nod to take its rightful place in history, and rise from the ashes of a crumbling empire...The mod, alongside the graphical "Immersion Mod", can be downloaded here.

comment
Not in This for Your Revolution: The Soviet missions make it clear that Kane has zero interest in advancing Communism and views Nod's "aid" to the USSR as purely out of convenience. The moment the Brotherhood's covert support begins to be withdrawn, coincidentally, is when the tide turns against the Soviets.

 Red Alert From The Ashes (Video Game) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The Allied codename for the Tunguska Bomb is "Crazy Ivan". Additionally, the codename for the real-world equivalent of the Tunguska Bomb, "Tsar Bomba", was codenamed "Ivan". Coincidentally, the tone of the Allied/UN mission briefings are heavily reminiscent of General Carville's speech mannerisms. The last Soviet mission is a Nod raid on the same Philadelphia shipyard where Einstein had tested his Chronosphere tech in Red Alert's Allied campaign.

comment
Stuff Blowing Up: The Tunguska Bomb devised by Kane and his Nod scientists is described as the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated up until that point. While the Allies believe it to be a show of force, in actuality it's meant to be a signal directed towards the Scrin, which would ultimately lead to the arrival of Tiberium in 1995.

The World Is Not Ready: Kane is careful about keeping Nod's existence a secret from the world for the time being, as revealing the Brotherhood too soon would risk unraveling his plans. He also believes that both Nikola Tesla's research and Einstein's Chronosphere tech are too advanced for the soon-to-be-victorious UN to get their hands on.

You Have Failed Me: Subverted at first. After a few mishaps involving the UN stumbling a bit too close to discovering the Brotherhood's existence, Kane chides the Soviet Premier but still gives him a chance to redeem himself. Averted at the end however, when he's killed just as Nadia had been.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Kane reveals to the Soviet Premier that he only ever intended for the USSR to hold onto Europe for as long as he needed to get the Tunguska Bomb ready. With that achieved, he has the Brotherhood quietly withdraw, leaving the Soviets (or what's left of their actual chain of command) to fight for themselves. In the final mission, Kane kills the Premier himself both for failing Nod one time too many and to remove a loose end.

Pyrrhic Victory: The Soviets' conquest of Europe is revealed to be one, with various resistance movements popping. And without Nod's covert backing, the USSR increasingly finds Stalin's grand prize more trouble than its worth. The UN, however, seizes the opportunity to avenge the Allied defeat and liberate the continent.

Two Lines, No Waiting: There are two main plotlines in the campaign, namely Kane's preparations for the future in the Soviet missions, and the liberation of Europe in the Allied/UN ones. While they come close, at no point do the UN nor Special Operations Group Echo: Black Ops 9 figure out the Brotherhood's existence, setting the stage for the sudden arrival of Tiberium.

Didn't See That Coming: Downplayed. While Kane had anticipated the USSR to muddle on through until the early 1990s, the Allied and UN forces manage to bring an end to Soviet rule earlier than expected. Though he cuts his losses and kills the Soviet Premier by the final mission, he's not particularly fazed by it, knowing what's to come.

Call-Forward: Kane's narration in the Soviet briefings include allusions to chronologically later entries in the Tiberium series, including vague talk of "ascension." Many of the Allied/UN mission briefings not only foreshadow the eventual rise of GDI, but even have a subtle nod to Act on Instinct. The Mammoth Tanks seized and reversed-engineered by Special Operations Group Echo: Black Ops 9 become the basis for GDI's namesake line of heavy tanks. It's implied that the Soviets' experiments on Volkov help inspire Nod's own research into cyborgs which come to fruition by Tiberian Sun.

Civil Warcraft: Some Soviet missions involve taking out hapless Soviet forces standing in your way. Justified, however, in that you're given command of Nod operatives and sleeper agents who happen to be embedded in the Soviet military. Moreover, with the Brotherhood withdrawing "aid", their erstwhile comrades are now deemed fully expendable.

Early-Bird Cameo: The United Nations' Special Operations Group Echo: Black Ops 9, which becomes playable by the later missions, is the earliest incarnation of the organization later known as the Global Defense Initiative. The experimental "Light Refraction" tech being researched by the Soviets and subsequently extracted by Nod becomes the basis for its iconic Stealth Tank. Nikola Tesla's research on "Death Ray" technology which is stolen by Nod, is the precursor to their future laser technology, most notably the Obelisk of Light. The final cutscene is an intercepted Scrin transmission as the aliens receive the Tunguska Bomb's signal, setting the stage for the arrival of Tiberium.
