Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Soviet Campaign Mission #3: Taking Back Ice-Harbor

The Imperial offensive towards Moscow had been stopped thanks to the efforts of the unnamed Soviet Commander, and the Soviet people had taken hope once more, steeling themselves for the fight ahead. Unfortunately, the war was far from over. Imperial forces still controlled much of the Soviet heartland, and the Red Army was largely bogged down trying to defend what remained. Moreover, much of the Red Navy had been destroyed or captured since the invasion began, and both Cherdenko and Krukov knew that if the war was to be won, then the Russians would need their mighty fleets ready to fight the invaders.
As such, the Commander and his faithful ally Zhana Agonskaya were sent to the frozen harbor of Vladivostok, home of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The Empire had captured this vital staging ground during the initial days of the invasion, and hundreds of Soviet vessels lay damaged or abandoned within its confines, even as the ambitious Crown Prince Tatsu monitored the course of the war from his palace built at the heart of the city. The port was being used by the Empire as a supply depot, with hundreds of ships and aircraft delivering additional supplies and reinforcements weekly to fuel the march of the Emperor's armies. If the port could be retaken and the Imperial forces eliminated, then the Soviets would be able to bring their naval forces back online, as well as cut off this vital supply line of the Empire.
The Soviet forces set the retake the harbor were comprised of two full regiments worth of infantry and armoured vehicles, though they were mostly poorer-quality troops gathered in a hasty fashion to seize the port. Several scores of naval vessels had been deployed to assist, though these were mainly Stingray and Bullfrog craft rather than larger vessels. Several Dreadnoughts would eventually be liberated from the port to aid the Russian attackers, but for the most part, the smaller amphibious craft comprised the bulk of the Soviet naval forces.
The Imperials, meanwhile, had left a sizable garrison force to hold Vladivostok, consisting of several regiments worth of infantry and armour. These troops were largely inferior to those fighting throughout the Soviet Union, though they were hardly raw recruits, and had the backing of reinforcements sent from the Japanese islands the previous morning. Amongst these troops included a honor guard of King Oni mechs sent to protect the palace of Crown Prince Tatsu, as well as several squadrons of Mecha Tengus. On the seas, the Imperial naval had designated a small flotilla to secure the waterways, including a dozen of the mighty Naginata Cruisers. Overall, the Imperial forces were more numerous, with more advanced vehicles and equipment to call upon, but were hampered by the swiftness of the Soviet attack, and the considerable area they were forced to patrol and defend.
