In cages of convention, from the Cradle to the Grave.

It should work with any combo of Allies, Soviets & Counterstrike - Atfermath
contains details of new units, and will ask for the same disk in the other
machine.

They are available, but if you're new to the game, they are a little hard to
implement

The spy is not a great deal of use, to be honest.  If you use him to
infiltrate Construction Yards, or Weapons Factories, clicking on them will
let you know what is in production.  If playing against another allied
force, (in multiplayer) he can help defeat the effects of the Gap Generator,
and if you are up against the Soviets with a water based map, infiltrating
the Sub Pen will give you a SOnar Pulse which will reveal all enemy subs

As regard allies, - thier real strengths lie in speed and numbers - the
equipment is more diversified.  One strength, although it is more of a
soviet weakness, is that the Teslacoil can only hit one at a time, so using
lots of men can be an effective base attack strategy - just watch out for
them getting squished! Soviets do not have a great anti infantry defence
like pillboxes
