5. Tactics

Allied:

	Crusiers: Can  shoot 3 screens away , the closer it is the better the aiming.
		   Cronoshift it near an enemy's base and Destroy what you can 
		   IE: AA guns / Sam sites and Then send in the planes

	Cronosphere: Cronoshift a Crusier near an enemy's base
			Sometimes it will make a rip in time that looks like a electrical whirlpool where 				you send your units and will attack units with electrical energy but takes some time 			to form.
			You can't send Troops or a APC full of  troops it won't even send troops and will 				kill the guys in the APC.
			Ever see the Movie "The Philadelphia Experiment"

Soviet:

	Attack Dogs: Don't put them in a place where a tank and the dog will attack the same unit,  the dog 	will jump to attack the unit and the tank will shoot at the guy killing the dog.

	V2 Rocket: They will fire farther when there guarding then if you tell them to attack a unit

Both Sides:

	Engineers: Can Take a Building When its Red.
		      Can Repair a building to Green.

	Spies: Watch out! The enemy spies look like your troops and only dogs will auto attack them.			You have to tell your units to attack them. 
		Watch for your color units moving around when you cant select them.
		Send your spies into an Allied base so you can see through a Gap Generator, And Steal 			money from there silos.



6. Features
Bridges can be blown up 

7. Keys
Way Points: Hold the "Q" key and click where you want him to go.

8. AI
For Some reason the AI in Multi-Player Will not build Ships :(

9. Maps
The map sizes are much bigger (94X94, 64X64, 12864, 64X128)
Red Alert comes with it's own Map Maker
You can build things like turrets and other attack building 2 squares apart
There is a new Terrain Arctic Like In Warcraft 2
There's also levels inside buildings 

10. Multi-Player
There are 5 Countries with different strengths
	Allied England 	-  Armor
	Allied Germany  	- Shot power
	Allied France 		- Shot Rate
	Soviet Russia 		- Cost
	Soviet Ukraine 	- Speed

11. Morse Code
