Warcraft 2 requires no strategy at all to play, even less than RA. In
Warcraft 2 all you have to do is build a load more ogres than your
opponent and then kill them... Once you have sussed out the quickest
way to do this you have nothing left to learn. In Red Alert being able
to build tanks quickly and continuously is one of the major parts of
the game but it is not the only part.  I can't count the times I have
finished someone by flying tanyas into their base while i started a
tank battle elsewhere on the map or that I have chronosphered a MCV
into a base and built tanyas and turrets right in the base...
