Again, as with the Soviet, credit to "JosephS1k" for uploading the first ever run of this "category", and setting a seriously, profoundly competent time for any challengers to beat - it stood for over 2 years. Some of the tactics/strats used here were discovered/created by him (I'm assuming) and can be found originally here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt1JFx7ayjg
Once again, he was quite thorough and usually managed to find the optimal macro-strat. No obvious opportunities were passed up, often leaving me only with micro/tactical optimisation over his original time. Some of the missions are "scripted" or sequential (very small improvement margins), but much less so than the Soviet - I had much more creative freedom with this one and utilised it quite extensively.
Credit also to "ROMaster2", who has also speedran the Allied campaign and retains the any difficulty world record here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEkFrAWM5BQ 
Although he plays on easy (far fewer run-ruining terror drones, for example), some of his original strats also have application on hard, and were successfully utilised in this hard run - his "Dark Night" route is a good example of a clear routing improvement.
 Overall this was a good run. A couple of scary moments here and there, but overall a really tight, nicely-flowing run.
