How long between the first Epsilon (chronological 1st) and last Epsilon (chronological last) missions? There's no real sense of time between missions, so I have no clue. If we look at vanilla C&C games, Tiberian Sun onwards pretty much all portray very intense, but at the same time very short wars. in vanilla RA2, WW3 lasts less than a year. So, how long is the war in MO? It would be silly for a war on that scale with that many fronts and nations to only last a couple months. I was thinking it drags on more.

Act One takes approximately a year. The only information we (officially) have is the date shown on the first Allied mission. The next date will probably come on Act Two.

Mental Omega 3.0 Act I takes time between 1982 and 1983. So it should take few months afaik, campaign in the USA was a pretty blitzkrieg because Americans got knocked out during first five missions of the Soviet campaign (Peace Treaty, while Dugan got killed during 3rd Happy Birthday). Euros got kicked also pretty fast (remember that after they lost Steinstech Lab in Germany, Soviets pushed Allies from the entire continent and their last stronghold to conquer was Great Britain.)

I'm just trying to think. It took Stalin several years to make it to western France. Romanov took over pretty much most of the USA and virtually all of mainland Europe is less than a year. Then again, Stalin diodn't have any real allies. But... then again, he didn't have a powerful ally betray him...

Russia got stabbed in the back after Sunlight. The Allied forces were pretty much UK and Pacific Front by then. UK survived because of Glado- uh Gladius. PF survived because they are scheming bastards too, sort of.

The wars were really quickies. There was no breaks in the conquering train. US and Europe tried to put up an initial fight. E01 Peacekeeper and E02 Accelerant took care of those.

Here's a representation of Act One's progression timeline. No dates included. It shall forever be a mystery.

Brain Reset happens during Dragonstorm. Focus Shift happens during Unshakeable. Two things I can already note.

[Acceleratio]

Damn so all the Allies have is the UK and PF... I see little hope for them in the second Act then :(

and Greenland, Iceland, and the mighty enclave of Jan Mayen.

I do believe too that Happy Birthday is after Heaven and Hell. I think Happy Birthday's mission briefing mentions the allies retaking their Florida naval bases. Also, where does Good Old Times take place? I thought it was South America, but the chart says differently.

[MrFreeze777]

If I remember from reading the Allied Sunlight and Soviet The Lunatic briefings is that Occitania(southern France) still has remnants of EA forces occupying that area. In the USA there is still Allied militia/resistance groups fighting the Soviets so not all of US is lost, although the main US military forces left for UK to help defend against Soviet invasion.

[Meyerm]

So to summarize the end of ACT I, allies are screwed. But still, where does Good Old Times take place? I never got that part.

[Graion Dilach]

Good Old Times happens in ze glorious nazion of Mehico, AFAIK.

[lovalmidas]

Nazion of Mehico.

So Nazis rose to power again after big evil Einstein passed away.

[Petya]

The title tells. It must have happened in the good old times, when the Mehico still had those funky little barnlike phosphorus factories.
