RED ALERT

Another of my favorite games is RED ALERT. One of the coolest games out there. If you really like playing Red Alert on the net, I suggest you goto Cases Ladder. I am currently on there with the nick name Lump.

Here are some tips that help me out...

ALLIES

In the begining of the level quickly build 4 light tanks 5 rifle infantry and 5 rocket infantry...Put all of these into formation (by pressing "F"), this will make all the units go the speed of a light tank. Then send all these units behind the enemies base and attack the construction yard. Keep your units moving to prevent getting hit, do this by pressing "X". Once the construction yard is out it's all up to you what to do next, but becareful, because chances are the enemy can still build a huge army of tanks in no time!

Cruisers move really, really slow don't they? Well not if you put them in formation with a Transport! Then they go the speed of a transport. Very useful!

The best attcking groups are mixed groups...When making attack groups try mixing it with these, mainly light tanks, a few med.'s, some artilery, rifle infantry and rocket infantry. Try putting groups in formation and see if they move any faster. If you have a group like this, it is hard to kill. If they attack your tanks, your infanrty will pound on them, if you try to squish your infantry your vehicles will pound on them, eigther way your enemy will take a pounding.

Longbows kinda suck compared to migs...but they can still come in usefull, i suggest building like 5 of them or more and take out buildings with it, or ore trucks it works well. They can take a lot more hits compared to migs. Construction yard can be taken out with a couple of Longbows, also don't always build helipads for all your heli's. Money is scarce.

SOVIETS

There's no secret about the soviet tank rush...personally i like the allies better. Anyways all you have to do is build a lot of war factories and heavy tanks, not to much stratagy in it...

One good way to screw your opponent up is to quickly build 2 V2 rocket's and send them to attack there Ore Factory, this will work well especially if they only have one ore Factory.

They hardest thing to defend against is a naval assult, the best way of defending this is to build lots of subs, put V2 rockets on the shore, and build lots of migs. This may or may not work but eigther way it will be a grand battle.

This is what i do when i play useing Russia, build a repair bay asap. Quickly build war factories and a couple of MCV's buildings will build faster and if you are under attack you can probablly put up a wall of teslas befor they get close! I also build 6 migs if i have time and start bombing buildings with it or ore trucks. But be wary of things like infantry attacks and paratroopers...5 rifle-men can destroy one mig with one shot from each of the 5....and can clear out all your migs in a few seconds...
