Learn the best strategies for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, including how to counter super weapons, execute sneak attacks with Tanya and spies, and cripple enemy bases. Your ultimate guide!

Alright, so we've reached the end of the line! To wrap things up, the biggest takeaway is keeping enemy armor away from your base and dealing with their super weapons effectively. If you can manage that, you're pretty much golden.

Now, about those super weapons – here’s a pro tip: when you see one about to launch (you'll know when that fancy alarm starts blaring!), the best move is to repack your MCV and get it to a safe spot. Grab as many units as you can and relocate. If you want to really speed things up, load your MCV into an Amphibious Transport. They're way faster than the MCV on its own.

Another neat trick is to have your Miners hop into a Transport just before the nuke is ready. This makes escaping a breeze. Once the nuke flies, get your MCV moving, and you'll likely save most, if not all, of your miners. The missile will then hit your base where your Construction Yard used to be, minimizing your losses. Your opponent will be in for a nasty surprise, and hopefully, they won't snag your War Factory or Refinery too!

To really shore up your defenses against these surprise attacks, consider building an extra War Factory and Refinery, placing them a good distance away from your main base. That way, even if they target your original structures, you'll have backups ready to go.

That covers the basics for surviving those big threats! If you've got any killer strategies or notes you'd like to share, feel free to reach out to [email protected]. Just put "Red Alert 2 FAQ" in the subject line, and your wisdom might just make it into the guide, with credit to you!

On a different note, let's talk about some slick offensive plays for the Allies. We're going to mess with the enemy using sneak attacks. The goal is to make them defend areas that aren't crucial to your main assault. For this, Tanya and spies are your best friends. A spy or two, paired with Tanya, can really throw a wrench in their plans. If Tanya can keep the enemy dogs busy, the spy has a better shot at getting through. Remember, keep that spy moving – never let them stand still! If luck is on your side, they'll slip through undetected.

Once the power is out, it's Tanya time! Forget the tanks for a moment and focus on structures. If you have multiple Tanya units, it's even easier. Let one handle any infantry threats while the others go to town on buildings. The main danger from tanks isn't their guns, but their ability to crush your units, so try to avoid that.

Your primary targets should be the Construction Yard, War Factory, and any Refineries. After those key structures are down, try to take out as many Power Plants as you can. If they only have one Nuclear Reactor, taking it out is a piece of cake. Once that's done, let your Tanya units clear out any remaining infantry, destroy the Barracks, and get out of there. If you pull this off, the enemy will be completely disoriented and crippled.

With the enemy reeling, bring in your Prism Tanks to finish off any remaining threats. And if you happen to run into Yuri, take him out FAST. If he mind-controls your Tanya, you're in big trouble. Try to destroy the mind-controlled unit quickly, but prioritize taking out Yuri first – he goes down in a single shot.
