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... --- Boylard dan...@white.prestel.co.uk The Red Alert Map Library <http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/8191/ra.htm>
