Geez, calling someone an amateur after he called me "little chicken shit"
is flaming? Heh -- I guess you just got an internet account and discovered
usenet. For some real flames, read Deja News and check out BC3K threads
from November and December.

You probably don't understand what we mean when we talk about the Red Alert
"tank rush," do you? 

Well, I guess as a public service I'll go over it briefly one more time.
It's simple, really. You just optimize your building so you can build
appox. 10 tanks in the first 5 minutes of the game and then head to the
other side of the map with them and take apart his base. It's easier to do
this as the Soviets with their twin-barreled heavy tanks, but you can do it
as the Allies also. I'd recommend taking down his power, yard, and factory
in that order. Don't bother engaging his tanks or forces other than to
squash soldiers. Just blow on by. You'll take little damage while moving,
and 10 heavy tanks, when parked, take out enemy structures in seconds. Keep
building more tanks while all this is going on, and some soldiers help also
for base defense. 

There is no real answer to this strategy other than a counter-offensive.
Sorry, Red Alert is a fine game in many ways, but it is not as
well-balanced as C&C. Deal with it.
