Say that you suck- Say that you really suck at the game and your opponent will underestimate you. Don't take this too far though. Newbie players (people who've never played a game over kali) aren't looking to be killed by a Red Alert Master, they want to play with someone as inexperienced as them. So don't lie to them and say you really suck. That's really lame.

Kill your opponent off with riflemen- Its lots of fun to do this. Especially if your opponent is a really bad player or he is paralyzed (can't build anything more) and can't do anything to stop you. I've killed off a couple of people with riflemen, and I thought it was hilarious! Of course they didn't. :)

Surrendur once you've won- Do this in teamgames. If one of the two opponents is dead, and all you and your teamate has to do is to destroy the remaining oretrucks/infantry or any few remaining structeres, then surrendur. Your teamate will get done with the remaining enemy within a few seconds. Besides, its hilarious of what your opponents will be thinking at the time. Usually the guy left will be just about to 'Resign Game', then he hears all these explosions and stuff before he's clicked the button. It totally confuses him! :)

Attack your ally- Do this once you and your teamate have won. It should be at the very end of the game in which all you have to do is hunt down the remaining enemy ore trucks and infantry. Either your ally will laugh at how you're attacking him at the end of the game, or he'll get really pissed! I think its funny both ways :)

Use the Red Alert Cheat Codes- The cheat codes are fun to use! I use them all the time! :)

Smurph- Its always fun to smurph! Once I smurphed some of friends and in the middle of the game I asked, 'Have you guys ever played Cataclysm?' They say, 'Yes'. I then ask, 'Is he any good?' 'No, he sucks!' they say. I got pretty pissed then, and killed them in that RA game. In the lobby they saw me erase my disguise name and type in my real name. They were like, 'Oh sh*t!' since I heard every word of them ragging on me. Bottom line: smurphing is tons of fun!

Use the Crazy Tactics!- No explanation needed. :)

Change your name to a blank- After finishing a team game, say to everyone you have to leave and then go into skirmish. Erase your entire name. Now go back into the lobby. They won't know you're there. This is especially handy when you want to know if your friends are talking about you behind your back! :)

Chinook Civilians!- Later on in the game when you have a bunch of civilians, put them all in a chinook. Now land the chinook in the enemy player's base, and uload the civilians, and say to the other player, 'They're tourists' :)

Have fun with the A bomb!- Fire the nuke far away your opponent, but make sure your opponent sees the explosion. Say something like, 'Man, I was was CLOSE that time!'

Do lots of strange stuff-- Get a group of riflemen and have them run back and forth across the map. Tell your opponent that they're running a marathon. Try making an army of mobile gap generators or radar jammers or something. That's fun to do as well. :) Make only dogs. Or just make yaks to 'hurt' the enemy with. Try making an army of spys too. :)

Suicide Grenadiers- Toss up grenades, and have your grenadiers run under them! :)

Fence the enemy in- Use walls and fences to fence the enemy in. Its hilarious! :)

Fake it- If you're allied, make all the fake structures you can. He'll start to get scared when he sees your 50 warfactories, 30 naval yards and 40 construction yards! :)

Bad mutt!- Whenever your attack dog kills someone start saying, 'Bad dog, bad dog!'

Deaf?- When your opponent talks to you, tell him to speak up! :)

Bad Recon- Ask, 'Where's your base?' after a couple of hours of gameplay

Tree bashing- Attack all the trees (claim that the trees were attacking you! :)

If you can think up of any more fun things to with Red Alert, email me and I'll put it on this page.
