Here are the instructions of how to place your buildings in C&C
wherever you want. It's quite difficult to explain but if you did it
once, you'll find it very easy.


-You need at least one military unit (soldier, tank,...) and the
comm-center (radar).

-Build the building you want to place.

-Now move your screen so that the rigth border of the side-menu
crosses a building of your base. 

-Now click on a unit on the screen

-Then click on the constructed building and move the cursor over the
crossed building of your base.

-Now press the mouse button and drag the cursor to the right onto the
side-menu. Don't relase the button during this moving. The striped red
squares which indicate that it isn't possible to place your building
over another shoudn't get white during this step.

-Now release the button and click on the map. The building will be
constructed there if possible.

I hope my instructions are clear enough. With that trick you can for
exemple build a Nod-Laser into a GDI-Base :-)


Greetings, Mike.
