I am not sure what the AI player on C&C red alert was upto last night. I was playing 1v1 against the computer, so started off with the usual base set up and unit creation, I changed the settigs to have about 50 units, so need to move them out the way to deploy the MCV.
Early on the computer attacked me, I did repel this, but the cost was quite high, so I had to start rebuiling tanks etc.
Anyway I built a nice minefield, then started exploring, upon arriving at what should be the enemy base, all i find is an undeployed mcv, surronded by about 5 units.
I could have just moved in for the kill, but decided to just attack the units around the MCV, sure enough this gave the computer the space needed to move and deploy the mcv and start building it's base.
Quite interesting to watch, but this has never happened before, so right now I actually have a game to play as it has built up a decent base and unit count.l
