Load two Helos with rangers and land em in thier base.

Taht always fooks em up.

Or as the GLA make a tunnel near em...

Or, Hunker down as the USA, and use Auroras to stike em... that pisses people off.

Bah, easy to counter

1. Chain gun tanks (my fav tank, will destroy the choppers well b4 they can lower many people, and even if they can, they only last a sec or 2 vs chain gun tanks)

2. Scout (sight is critical)

3. Chain gun tanks (1 can kill 2 auroras b4 they can return if it has the chain gun upgrade) and auroras are hard to replace, where as chain gun tanks are a dime a dozen

and simba, it is all about speed and good micro management

I can sendin a twin a ship of H46's fully loaded before you got your Chain Tanks going.

[MrVulcan]

willing to go head to head to see if thats so?

rocket pod upgrades completely owns on the commaches, ruins virtually any building u use it on when u got 2+ helis. Gatlings are annoying, but early on u can just waste em with crusaders, and chinese defence against early tank rushes aint too hot, cept for the AT soldiers, but a few rangers with flashbangs can deal with them.

One question, i was messing with the TNT for the AT soldiers, can they place it on the floor, like a demo trap, or just on enemy vehicles?

[MrVulcan]

just on enemy units and buildings

and you have to remember that the only way for china to defend is with its army, thats it... if you attack and lose all your force w/o takeing their economy out, or several main buildings, and china has any left, they win the battle, since they can recover faster than any other side *units build faster*

and I bulld 40% chain, 50% battlemaster and 10% overloard in the long run, keep in mind that the chain gun tank can kill a humvee 1-1 and same build time (2x cost) it also can hit air *not many tanks can* and is very good at anti inf *rocket dudes are no match* and the battlemaster can do a bit of dmg vs a crusader and the build time is much less, as well as cost is less. Also, once the chain guns get up to max speed, they can destroy a crusader at the same time that a crusader can kill a battlemaster

Well I played few C&C games but I must say......C&C: Red Alert makes my day....no other C&Cs match what it acomplished.

IFI owned the game and not the beta...

MAYBE something changed in a patch, but that worled quite well all through beta for me.

the game sucks

I Think it is a so so game, but onething that bothered me was this, in single player I grab all the resorces right off, as soon as I have up a few turrets for D, and then after my rangers have all the oil rigs and I have a turret or two and a supply depot by all the docks I build up, but even with all those resorces it seems my enemys still gather faster then me, heck they can send waves of three or four tanks one after another without slowing for a moment, I dont gather near that fast. I have 2-3 choppers/trucks (dont play GLA) at each site, so what gives, how do I gather resorces at a normal speed? And is it just me or do the inf move really really slow?

[MrVulcan]

Tobias, if we play, ill show you my style to it since you can save the game to watch later, etc...

Ill admit that I do not play single much, I just do multi, but from what I can tell you is that if you can get 2 supply pts right off in the 1st few secs in the game, then work off those, you can keep building from 1 tank factory non stop and still expand your base. * if you get 3 you can do anything * have 2 choppers/trucks go to each at a time, more than that and it is a waste of money as they just wait there* now once you have build a bit of base guys right off, go through the tech, but take your time with the tech *ok, no too much time* but then do not build a bunch of high tier guys right when you get the ability to do so, instead start building a few hackers/drops for more money since the $ pts will run out soon. Keep on pumping base units through out the entire game though.

Most people get in trouble with building more than 1-2 turrets *waste of $* and trying to go up tier fast and pumping high tier units *run out of $* also, you must attack attack attack, this game does not let you defend well, no one can defend well, you must go offensive every chance you get. Also be sure that you can defend your 1st 2 supply pts b4 you get the 3rd and dont go for a 4th unless you have enough forces to cover all 4.

C & C is a lot of fun! Highly recommended as a game to hold over until PS or beta acceptance. In SG we have C & C tournaments even
