This is a pretty old post I'm replying to here, but I'm about certain that the Mammoth tanks in the Tiberium saga were prototype Mammoth Mk IIs, not the Apocalypse-esque models from the original RA.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Still, I'm fairly sure Westwood made clear afterwards that both universes really aren't the same. All possible links are severed in Red Alert 2.

But Kane was an advisor to Stalin in RA - That seems like confirmation enough to me. Furthermore, for Kane to be able to hop back that far into the 20th century, time travel technology would have to exist in the GDI universe; a perfect explanation for this would be the time machine Einstein developed in Red Alert 2. A lot of the time it's also actually implied that Kane instigated the war in Red Alert in order to secure a power base for himself.

During the events of RA2 it's safe to assume that Kane was lying in wait in Africa with the rest of the brotherhood; hence he had no need for a role.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why not have branched timelines? The C&C universe is an alternate history anyway, so who's to say RA2 doesn't split the timeline?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
