have an up to date list of permitted websites. Anybody else who wishes to display this on
their website MUST get explicit permission via email. The address is given at the top.

Introduction
============
Although this is intended to aid playstation owners, the values have come from the
"Rules.ini"
file which is used on the PC version. As such, it may not be 100% accurate. This is only
intended as a rough guide, rather than a definitive list. Full credit goes to
"Machinegun"
from the PC Red Alert board, as without me downloading the "INI Package" from his website,
this
guide would not exist.

Also, let me know if any of this information is seriously wrong, and I'll correct it ASAP.
Hopefully I've got it all correct here. You can let me know on the GameFAQs PSX C&C
Retaliation message boards, or by email.

In-Game limits
==============
As I mentioned before, this is the PC specific limits, but I don't think that the PSX version
would be much different. This section is only a rough guide - not fact.

Aircraft - 100
Animations - 100
Building - 500
Bullets - 50
Factories - 32
Infantry - 500
Projectile - 20 (projectile types, not actual projectiles)
Team - 60 (Unit limit per team)
Terrain - 500 (scenery)
Vehicles - 500
Vessels - 100
Warheads - 10 (warhead types, not actual warheads)
Weapons - 55 (weapon types, not actual weapons)

Country Stats
=============
Although I have listed the details for all the in-game stuff below, each country has an
advantage over the others in some respects. There are other countries listed in the file, but
they only have a standard deal.

England has 10% more Armour
Germany's weapons have 10% more power
France's weapons fire 10% faster
Ukraine's units move 10% faster
Russia gets a 10% discount on prices.


Unit Statistics
===============
This section, I've done in the form of a table so that I can cover the unit stats including
the cost, HP, speed, and weapon. I have also included a brief comment beside each one,
based on my personal opinion. I have split the units into types, which should hopefully make
it easier to find the units you want to check up on.

Structure Statistics
====================
As above, this part is in the form of a table. I just decided to separate the 2 bits so that
you wouldn't be reading one giant table. Makes things easier to find too. I haven't yet
included the fake structures that the Allies can build on some missions. I will if it's
requested by anyone, however. Post to the message boards if you want them.
