I'm glad to be a part of the community. I just wish Westwood would be a little more involved, they barely ever update their site. The Navy rules. The tanks build slower in the expansion so you can get defenses up quickly. Hmmm, obviously tanks are the best, but they usually can't win a battle totally on their own.
Tanks are basis of every good army and commander in the game.
Mind control all the way. 3 Kirovs can take out a medium enemy. In other words tanks, infantry, naval units, and mind freaks all suck. Only Allies, prime enemy. Beware, this can be your instrument of victory, or a mark of your forces' tombstone.
