Five To One is the second Allied mission in Red Alert 1.

Background Edit

Despite the rescue of Einstein, the Soviets were pressing hard into Allied territory.  If the heavy armor of the Red Army couldn't be stopped, it would easily reach Berlin and deal a staggering blow to Allied war effort.  However, Allied divisions at the front line were running low on supplies.  The Soviets well knew this and cut off a major pass to stop any supply routes coming through.  If the Soviet outpost remained standing, the Allied divisions would simply wither away without a fight.  Even then, rescuing Einstein wouldn't have mattered.

Aftermath Edit

With the pass taken, the Allies were able to distribute supplies across the front (though it was still on the verge of collapsing).  The forces were bolstered slightly.  Even though a counterattack was suicidal, the defense wasn't altogether improbable.
