Allied Unit Terror Drone Tactic from ra3 .co.uk
Just a quick update, in my last post as Allies, i suggested that you should wall in your refinarys as a counter to the soviet terror drone. This is still a good thing to do with a power plant to stop them getting to you so quick from the sea, but a better method is to place buildings with a repair radius, so the radius covers the prospector. This way if/when you get attacked it will be instantly repaired and your enemy will lose the drone.
One thing you do have to be aware of is the secondary ability, which will lock down the refinary, but if you get a tank, turret, or some infrantry out you can relatively easily kill the drone, you definatly wont loose the harvister tho.
One possibility is to have a tank neer a choke point to you base, maybe at the back neer the water to attrackt the drones. You could then either kill them off or if it gets infected, repair it.
Just a few ideas really, hope they help you in you red alert 3 gaming.

You misspelled “Lose” at the end of the first paragraph.
Thanking you!
Good to see someone was paying attention!

you misspelled:
refinery / refineries
infantry
…relatively easy kill…
definitely
won’t
harvester
though
near
your base
your ra3 gaming
You’ve also been misspelling “refinery” in just about every post.
Also, for your Soviet strategy, why is your first building not the Crusher Crane?
Crusher Crane
then from there on you get simultaneous builds
Reactor — Barracks
Refinery — Refinery (while doing this, get infantry out to scout and take key positions)
Super Reactor — Armour Factory
Then start building Sputniks for expansion, and depending on scouting results, either an Airbase to make MiG air support and Twinblades for harassment, or more Hammer Tanks.
Late game, Battle Lab, get Apocs out with MiG air support.
Wouldn’t this work better than leaving the Crusher Crane to the end? You slow down for a minute in the beginning, then you get a fast start.
When your the sovjets The first thing you do is build a power plant
during the build make the walls for your refinery’s when the power plant is ready start building on two refinery’s and place them then build a war factory and two drones, send the drones to the refinery’s of the enemy and let them destroy the harvesters for more luck activate the drone suprise upgrade during this create 5 sickles and attack him, then make a (forgot the name) big power plant and make other tanks with this done and your sickles in the others base he doesnt have any money and no troops then send in your troops to finish it.
(this works best if your opponent is also sovjet)
Yeah and by the time youve got all those nice buildings set up youve lost cuz the enemy scouted you and realised you had no decent units.
