SOVIET STRATEGIES       Select Your Target:   [GENERAL][ANTI-AIR][ANTI-INFANTRY][RUSSIAN HEAVY TANK RUSH]               [ATTACKING][SEA ATTACKS][AIR ATTACKS][DEFENDING]     GENERAL  Money is the key to winning Red Alert.If you have only 1 ore truck  and your opponent has 5,who will win you think?Building more than     one structure will produce buildings,train units & build units     faster!Example : Building 2 War Factories will speed up the   building process by 2 times.Never ever use the same strategies on    the same person!He will soon know what you are trying to do!    ANTI-AIR   Never ever underestimate the allies Longbow Helicopter.If they       come in packs they might destroy any structure within   seconds.Protect your base at all costs,build 10+ SAM(Surface To    Air Missiles) Sites all around your base.Build them far apart so      that when the Longbow destroys 1 of your SAM Sites and     proceeds to the next,the Longbow will take more damage.Of   course,at least group 2 SAM Sites together to kill the Longbows faster.   ANTI-INFANTRY    Always beware of spies,thiefs and tanyas.Spies when infiltrate    your radar dome, they can see your whereabouts,where you are   moving.As for theifs,they can steal half your credits & tanya can   destroy any building in one single C4 Bomb.Build flame towers all    around your base.Do not build it at one area only as if you are    fighting against an Allies player,he/she can bring in an Apc and   unload tanyas to your base and destroy your structures without any problems.     RUSSIAN HEAVY TANK RUSH   The RHTR known as the Russian Heavy Tank Rush,i have seen a lot       of my opponents use this trick.They sometimes work and      sometimes not.It only works if the tanks come in packs of      10-20.And they will not work if they only come in packs of   10.When using the RHTR,group 10 tanks,attack one side,and the   other 10 tanks attack from the other side so that your opponent   may not have enough time to reach the other side to destroy your                        other 10 tanks!   ATTACKING   The RHTR Strategy is by far one of the best for the Soviets,but    it is still not very effective,note to the slowness of the Heavy   Tank.When attacking,always have 9 or more mig planes ready and   make sure your opponents base is not guarded with AA GUNS or   rocket soldiers.Use the RHTR strategy, attack all their defence   structures first.Bring the migs,destroy their const yard first.If   you have more than 9 migs,use the rest to kill all barracks & war                    factories that they have.      SEA ATTACKS    There is nothing to use to attack for the Soviets,but you must    build lots of submarines to protect your base from cruisers or   destroyers.When submarines come in packs,they are very deadly   and it is known as the Wolf Pack. Submarines are also useful for   scouting the sea area,as they are stealthy and cannot be seen by anyone.    AIR ATTACKS   The Soviets advantage is the MIG attack plane.It's very fast,but      weak in strength and armor.A group of 9 can eliminate any   structure without problems.Why 9 instead of 6-7?Because some   of your MIG planes will die while attacking the structures if your   opponents have good ANTI-AIR Defence.The yaks are very very   useful against infantry and also against power plants or ultimate    weapons like missile silo,iron curtain etc. A lot of my opponents   never seem to bother to build yaks.Yaks have bettter armor than   the MIG planes and it's cheaper than the MIG planes.Would you       waste more money or less if you are going for easy to be              destroyed structures or even infantry?      Tip:If your opponent is protecting his/her base at only one      side,you can use the backdoor way.What is the backdoor   way?Direct your MIGs or YAKs away from the defence area,then   proceed to attack the structures. You will be taking less damage   in this case.In example if your opponents base is at top left,bring   your planes to top right,when your planes reach there attack the base!    DEFENDING   You may have good defence at land,but you cannot protect from   all attacks through sea,land or air! Build tesla coils , at least 10 all     around your base each with 2 flame towers in front to fight   against infantry.Build lots of heavy & mammoth tanks and protect  your tesla coils from being destroyed so that you can concentrate        on firepower.If you notice that one of your tanks are    dying,quickly move it out of the way.If your opponent does not    notice,he will be dragged far while your tesla coils zap him/her   off.What about those pesky cruisers?The solution to cruisers is      the Submarines.If you see a cruiser,quickly group up your    submarines and destroy it quickly before it takes out a lot of    damage. To defend against air,build lots of SAM sites around  your construction yard & other vital structures. Always remember   when you are low in power,sell off your tesla coils or you will lose     because of low power.When low in power,your building will be    really slow!Always prepare a power plant in case your opponent     attacks your power plants and you have time to replace the                        destroyed one.
