@FlyingNinjaBannanas
I enjoy a good grimdark. This is on my "to read when you wake up" list

Soviets are always the bad guys.

The_Owl said...

Hm, I'm not so sure about the sound of this one. Judging by the name and description, it's going to be very neo-McCarthyist.

But I suppose I'll give it a chance before trashing it. Also, how come this isn't tagged as [Human in Equestria], Seth?

Gypsy said...

crossover? explains to me

Select Few said...

Russians? In My Little Pony?

This can only end well.

I am liking this story. It also seems that the Allied Forces are apparently showing enough restraint to attempt to GAIN some allies instead of make some enemies...

Poor Taking Easy though... Them damned reds!

@richfiles

I've actually had buffalo meat before. It was actually pretty good.

More on topic, this story seems great despite the fact I have never played Command and Conquer before. Fav'd!

The_Owl said...

ToonNinja said...

The title already has me thinking of Tom Clancy, which makes me both intrigued and wary.

RainbowDat said...

elite879 said...

Why are the soviets always the bad guys?!

Misterz100 said...

@SovBrony

LOL that's my reaction when reading it, I can't wait till the next chapter.

Misterz100 said...

@elite879

It IS based off C&C but the soviets aren't "bad" as much as their leaders are usually and this feels like it might be like that as well.

Freekles1245 said...

So the crossover is with C&C Red Alert.

Benschachar said...

@elite879
Why not? The ignorance of Soviet atrocities is rather frightening.
If you want to learn more here is a video.

@Benschachar
As are lies and exaggerations.

Would you kindly keep politics and ideologies away from here?
And what does some loose interpretation of the real life hystory has to do with a fanfic, based on a game, based on an alternate timeline, anyway?

Benschachar said...

@kroust
What part was a lie or exaggeration?

He asked why Soviets were villains and I provided a plausible reason since I didn't see a C&C tag.

Astrosimi said...

Thank god the only Red Alert crossover story is good.

Also, the experiment is actually on the part of the Soviets, which actually makes sense in the game lore. No need to worry about another Twilight Teleport Incident :P

RedShocktrooper said...

@Astrosimi

I would, however, LOL hard if Twilight tried to teleport, causing a Chronosphere to screw up thus sending everyone to the Red Alert universe.

God said...

The Soviets haven't actually done anything evil yet in this story. They shot a buffalo they thought was a regular animal and electrocuted Trixie nonfatally when she intruded on their high security testing facility. Evil would have been strafing the buffalo herd for entertainment or performing live Trixie dissection.

Misterz100 said...

@God

Spoiler much : / you should have a line on top saying SPOILERS or something.

GaryGibbon said...

OH GOD DAMMIT
I was working on a Red Alert crossover. And you had to pip me to the post, didn't you.
*grumble grumble* That means I'll have to write a pony fanfic for the RA3: Paradox mod instead.

RainbowDat said...

Where's my friggin update??!?!!?!!? It's been three days already, I want MOAR!

Poodicus said...

Sadly, the guy who writes it had got a virus on his computer and now everything that he had on chapter 4 got wiped, so he has to rewrite the entire thing, and that's why he hasn't updated it yet.

RedShocktrooper said...

@Ray J

Oh trust me, it is NOT what it looks like.

shadowfalcon76 said...

Well this is interesting. Command & Conquer: Red Alert crossover. Hadn't seen one for that series yet. Here I was contemplating busting out my C&C: The First Decade set to play again, and this pops up. Needless to say, I took the correct course of action and busted out some C&C remixes to listen to while reading. Definitely enhanced the experience.

Solid 4.5 stars. Would read again.

gato said...

I wonder how the heck did I missed this fic before...

Anyway, I'm quite pleased with the story so far... I'm a little disappointed about the author trying to stay away from Red Alert 3 (or as far from it as possible) since I consider that the overall "silliness" (not sure if this si the right word) of that game would fit more with ponies, not saying Red Alert 2 isn't crazy enough, it's just one game is crazier than the other. (at least it's not Red Alert 1)

But other than that I really like what I'm reading, can't wait to see where this goes.



ps: I find funny how I stumbled upon this fic the very same day General Mumble relases something akin to a Pony Hell March.
