General Strategy |
| FOR
GOD'S SAKE ATTACK!: Here is a little piece
of advice that will go a long way for you. Do not sit
back waiting for one attack after another from your
enemy. ATTACK! From the beginning put the pressure on and
don't lay up. You cannot win on defense. And the old
saying that the best defense is a good offense really is
true. If you constantly have tanks in your opponents base
ragging on them, do you think they are going to be
inclined to attack you? Of course not they are trying to
stay alive. THE EXCEPTION: There are of course exceptions to the above. Obviously if your enemy has teslas all over their base, it is not a wise idea to run in with tanks. In cases like this you will need to back them up with migs, V2 rockets, artillery, or choppers. This will require additional building time and restructuring of your military force. When a situation like this arrises, it is time to be sneaky, so go back a page and read about some of the more unconventional approaches. ORE IS THE KEY: Let's think a bit for a moment. What do you need to win in a match of Red Alert? Well, lots of war factories and tanks. What do you need in order to make war factories and tanks? Ore. Ore is the key. If you have lots of ore you can make lots of cool stuff that can do lots of cool stuff to your opponent. If you find yourself waiting too often for ore you are doing something wrong. You shouldn't have to wait for ore. Plan your building order so that you will always have cash when you need it. Lots of refineries, lots of trucks. Oh, and here is a little trick for you. The cost of a refinery is about $1700 and that includes a free truck. The cost of a truck alone is $1200. Hmmmm... now consider that you can build a refinery, then sell it and get ore trucks cheaper that way. Also you don't waste tank building time. Happy Harvesting ; ) |
