Reclaiming the World Record | Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Allied Campaign Speedrun

Time to hop off the throne lil' bro, five months was long enough! ;P
Lots of decent RNG, but most especially perfect RNG in the last mission.
Slightly adjusted strats in missions 1, 2, 8, 9 for more consistency (although none of those missions were played to what I've found are their best possible times).
Updated strats in missions 6 (Liberty) and 12 (Chrono Storm), which were the most significant time-saves. Liberty, Free Gateway (8), and Chrono Storm alone totaled a potential 2-minute window worth of time-saves, and in the end I was able to save ~01:30 overall.
This session surprisingly took me less than a week. I ran the last three missions absolutely flawlessly (Mirage and Chrono Storm were the best times I've ever possibly experienced so far). Liberty was also such a breather when I finally cleared it in this specific run considering how strained my right hand became yesterday from attempting full runs (if I had a hand-cam, you would've seen my right AND left index fingers going at it on left-click just to get that mission going in its beginning phase).
Potential Time-saves:
Mission 6 (Operation: Liberty) can be ran in 04:00 IGT flat if you pretty much do exactly what I did in this video ( • [World Record] Command... ); I just forgot to bait out the V3's by using a GI to attack the power plant before capturing it with an engineer, so it got awkward when they were still firing from behind the wall.
My attempt in this full run saw me delaying the timing of capturing the Red ConYard slightly so more tanks and dogs would be pumped out initially; I also added dogs and a Rhino escort with the 2nd Flak Trak to ensure it and the engineer within would survive through any nuisances regardless of horrible RNG.
Mission 8 (Operation: Free Gateway) can be ran in 03:00 IGT flat with better micro, two sentry guns for the Battle Lab conscripts, and of course favorable RNG. My best run in practice was 03:06.
And that marks the end of my yapping and Reading Break. Realistically it'll prolly be another year 'til I can get to that remaster of my Yuri's Revenge Allied Campaign speedrun since I've been really busy with college. I didn't even get to run PvZ over my Christmas break as I'd planned! :(
