I haven't played Warcraft 2 since I started Red Alert, but I still stand by my comparisons. From all of the "tips" from various newsgroups and web pages, and from actually playing hours and hours of multi-player levels, I have found that there are *less strategies* in Red Alert than in Warcraft 2. However, having said this, and upsetting all of you Westwood "cult" members, remember what I *just said*: I haven't played Warcraft 2 since I got Red Alert... What does that mean? It means that until Warcraft 3 or the next C&C game, I will put up with the annoying faults of RA until I get completely sick of the game altogether, having pretty much mastered Warcraft 2. Once again, though, I must point out that you are probably missing a lot of potential strategies in WC2, if you disagree with my statements - in other words, you probably didn't play it enough to figure them out... - T.Turner
