Played with infinite last night some C&C red alert...till like 5am LOL.
Yeah gg's!
as you can see the map was similar to this, the red is me and the yellow is infinite.
the purple are resource derricks and so on.
Basically look at the red x on the bottom right (marked as 1).. this is where i started and straight away moved my base to the top right (2), as i knew infinite was already in the middle of the map with his army men, the middle is alot of houses.
Anyways i built what i needed to in the 2 area and then moved to 3, here was alot of resources so i just added my harvesters etc and then moved my main construction to the (4) area... by this time i could see infinite bringing shit loads of airships over to my otherbase (2) in the mean time...i was building aircraft carriers at (4) infact i built 9 of them LOL.
sent them all down to his base on the left.. pretty much wiped that area out, s he moved his base to the middle yellow X, but by this time his airships had fucked up most of my other bases and resources , so i was getting low on cash and units to build.. i managed to get a small few things going again, but he spooted my MCV construction center and that was pretty much it for me, i had nothing to build defense and so he mopped up my remaining units for the win..
but ya, he didnt expect me to come in from the left - caught him by suprise there.!
but he still won LOL.
this is why this game would rock with the mess-hall playing too!

Hehe yeah GGs - at 5am, running around the map looking for one last building, that happens to be were my original base was, isn't what I needed LOL
It would be good to get any other players from here in on the carnage. Given the amount of action and units going on at times, the games ran incredibly smoothly. I didn't notice any lag at all, and I'm guessing it was the same for you as you hosted..?
Looking forward to more sometime... Awesome as your Paint battle plan is, a video would say it better LOL. Although I will no doubt get my arsed kicked as soon as you're recording, as that last game was very close.
My Soviet tanks will still crush your measly capitalist units under their treads however...

Buy Red Alert 3 then
The controls work really well on console, and it's a great game. Got loads of fit birds in it too...

@ Chris, did you use the same name on 2142?
I saw this at blockbusters last week, I think it was £13 might have to go back and see if it's still there.
