i) Introduction

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a real time strategy game
from Westwood. This is the sequel of Command & Conquer: Red Alert.
The game story is based on the war between the Alliance and the
Soviet forces. This game is recommended for fans of real-time
strategy games. The FAQ I used here is based on it's expansion,
Yuri's Revenge version 1.001. It add one more side (Yuri's side),
and add tons of new features, units, and buildings. For original
Red Alert 2 player, please refer to my older FAQ (Red Alert 2
Compendium).

First, I apologize if my English is not good (Because it is not my
main language). Maybe some grammars and spells have some errors in
this FAQ. This is my third unpublished FAQ I wrote.

This FAQ is created for intermediate and expert players that have
played the game long enough to truly know the aspects of the game.
Although the beginners can also read this FAQ, it is not recommended
because of some complicated data and tables. In this FAQ, I hope you
have known the aspect of this game, because I don't include any
"how to play", basic strategies or others like those. There are so
many good FAQs to teach you to play in the internet so I don't need
to explain it again :)

A lot of info I acquired by checking the INI files (if you are often
costumizing any Westwood games (C&C and RA), you must know these
famous INI files), and also from searching, trying, and my other
hardwork by playing the game itself. Note that not all data I extract
pure from INI files (because some of them has many changes and can't
be 100% right), actually I almost check everything (even the
calculation procedure) to be sure it is right. So forgive me if there
are many errors I didn't notice. Email me at s_rudiyanton@lycos.com
for corrections and suggestions, and of course you will be credited
even for small fixes. I will update this FAQ when there is a mistake,
error, or any addition. I can also add an entirely new section if
I think it's important.

If you include any information below in any FAQ or Websites, please
ask my permission first (mostly I will answer yes) and give credits
for me. (It's extremely hard to collect information in this FAQ,
you know).

And lastly, I don't own Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge CD.
I play the game by borrowing my cousin's CD. And so, I also
couldn't play it in the net until now. I am also not too good at
multiplayer games (because I rarely had chances to play it on
network games), but I'm also not that bad. This is just for info. :P

*****************************
I - General and Special Rules
*****************************

1) Formulae
* Cells
One cell in Red 2 Alert means a portion of small terrain that can
be occupied by one small vehicles (IFV, Flak Track, etc.) or 3
infantry.
* ROF: Rate of Fire
The longer the number, the longer the unit reloads its weapons.
15 are equal to 1 second at middle speed setting. So a weapon
with maximum speed with 150 ROF, will attack again after about 10
seconds after previous attack.
