Yes... take a whiff of nostralgia everyone! Ahh... well lets get on with it. The origional C&C should be taken more like an action puzzle game than a straight brawl. None the less, it is a strategy game! I will review it through a table/ strategy type thingie. Enjoy.
Table Legend:
I will rate each of the units on its offensive power against the enemy. In order to rule the battlefield, you must remember to group your guys and to not duke it out with single units. Use these tables to plan your strategy against your opponent.

Strategies:
Grouping: self-explanitory. Always group your guys when attacking. ALWAYS!
Ambushing: Group your guys near a path and lead the enemy into your set up of:
infantry first
vehicles second
Conservation: Always conserve your resources! Money is scarce and you will need every penny. Build vehicles when possible.
Sandbagging: Since the computer cheats... take advantage of a cheat of your own! Sandbag walls stop the computer dead in its tracks. Sandbaging an enemy base and choking it is one of the only ways of succeeding in C&C. (note: this cheat does not work in multiplayer or in C&C:Red Alert.
