The Soviets have a small base set up in a remote region of Norway. It's an Oil Pump station, equipped with four Oil Pumps, a Barracks, and a Power Plant to run it all. It supplies most of the northern front of the Soviet Army with motor oil and gasoline.
The Allies recently learned of its location and have deployed a MCV via a Naval Transport, building a base large enough to produce a fighting force to take down the Oil Pump station.
Your job, as a Soviet soldier, is to defend that Oil Pump station with your life. You are unable to attack the Allied base due to heavy Pillbox defenses and Turret fire. You must keep the station secure until a MCV convoy reinforcement can arrive to fortify your location. You have 20 minutes to keep the station secure.
Your job as an Allied soldier is to attack and destroy all four Oil Pumps using whatever means available to you. You will be initially given two Rangers and a small base to operate from. You are only reinforced with Rifle Soldiers, Medics, Rocket Soldiers, Technicians, Engineers, and Officers. You have 20 minutes to destroy the Oil Pump station before Soviet reinforcements arrive. Our base has no chance of surviving the reinforcements that are headed in our direction, so we must act quickly, destroy the Oil Pumps, pack up the structures and undeploy our MCV to evacuate the area.
Soviets cannot score any points. Only the Allies can score points. If the Allies destroy all four Oil Pumps, the game ends and the Allies win. If 20 minutes passes, the game ends and the Soviets win.
The level still needs more foliage detail, but other than that it's pretty much complete and ready to go.

To tell you the truth, it's really not all that appealing. Quite bland. Could you just take some levrage from Red Alert and make the maps a little bit better to suit Ren Alert, instead of following Red Alert so closely?

"I'm mad that you called me out on being a liar, so I need some way to get back at you."

How the hell was that a way to get back at you? It wasn't even an insult or anything offensive. It was just my opinion\constructive criticism.

Well, it's rather obvious why it looks bland. Yes, it IS Russia, but you can have more than just some trees, hills, and a few other objects. First of all, there's nothing in the background, just grey. Second, you could add some better looking paved or gravel access roads, instead of a strip of alpha blended dirt. Third, from what I can see, the majority of the map is just an extruded box, edited a little to look more like terrain. Some more hills, terrain, or rock extrusions would look better.
Is that enough "why" for you?
P.S. I'm not insulting the map like you think I am. I'm only giving you my input on how you could improve these maps, which I must say aren't at the same level as some of your other maps.

Notice the almost exact similarity. That's what I was going for, not a gravel or paved road.

An extruded box would look like a box with another box coming out of it. This does not look like that.
It already has hills. The lighting isn't showing them correctly.

That picture link doesn't work.
I mean hills taller than 6-10 feet. Something much taller and\or steeper.

That's why I said "edited a little to look more like terrain." An extruded box doesn't have to consist of two boxes. In this case, it's a plane, with what looks like an extruded box that was chamfered\smoothed, and modified with noise. It just doesn't look that "natural".
