YEA MAN, that 9 units at a timw thing really gets up my ass.
btw RA RULEZZZZZZZZ.
anyway the 9 units thing is not exaclty "Stragic" attackin a ORC base
full of towers and shit with ONLY 9 footman ain't exactly nice.
now C&C had got that right we dhould be able to press "E" and get 100
mother fuckin war units. HEY LOok AT REAL WARS!!! you can't expect 9
allie soldiers to attack a the german army. It's plain stupid,
anyway my summary "RA RULEZZ and WAR2..well doesn't suck but less better
than the C&C serious"
