In RA you can only capture a building if it is in "red" condition (its
status bar becomes red). That means you have to "harm" the building
first and send your engineer after.

You must stop the attack before it is too late.

Note that an engineer damages the building, another does more, until the
last one captures it.

You put engineers in the building like in C&C (arrow cursor).

Now attention ! In at least one mission in RA it is IMPOSSIBLE ON
PURPOSE to take a certain building. It is a soviet mission where you
must capture a building where the chronospshere is tested (or the item
itself, I do not remeber now, long time ago).

This mission is won IF you arrive up to that point, but the building
self-destroys. This is the scenario of the game. RA is more subtile than
Total Annihilation regarding story and events ! So you get a scene with
Stalin after this won / lost mission !

In brief if it is this mission : you CANNOT capture that building but
you win nevertheless.
