OMG... Red alert 2? I guess you're one of the few that likes the game.

Have you tried www.ign.com or www.gamespot.com?

A search on google for "red alart 2 tips" or soemthing liek that will bring up a bunch of stuff.

EDIT: N/m, I was thinking of command and conquer 2.

Can't remember which side (think Russian), but one of the end levels you start on an island in the lower right corner and have to destroy a building in the northwest part. Immediately build turrets and there will be air landings. Dont bother with anti-air at the start, just make sure you can kill all those landing (they come overseas too once at the bottom).

Immediately after the last landing start on a shipyard, and build some light gunboats first to serve as anti-air, and to knock out the aircraft carrier north of the island. (put a few anti-air guns and rocket launcher guys there to keep you alive meanwhile). Build about 8 gun boats (2 lines of 4) as aireal defense, and some squids which you will use to take out a few ships, and lure the other ships to your gunboats so they can take em out. Build 2 of the biggest ships, the ones with heavy long range rockets, and with that take out their shipyards and eastern airport, then start moving the fleet west (just in case you missed one ship you move the squids along with them.
In the meantime build one airship, this will be for reconnaisance. Move the whole fleet north when you hit the western edge, but do it step by step, and use the CTRL key to aim at spaces of land with nothing on it once in a while, just so any anti-air he may have immediately shows up when it fires at the rockets. This will also show what's around it, so you can knock out Lasers and stuff too. Bring the airship near, and use that to detect more SAM sites and Lasers, until you hit the uppermost part you can reach with the ships. If you now position both ships in the upper-left corner, facing northeast (tell them to go there from straigth below it, then tell them to go to the south-east and hit stop the moment they turned a little bit).

Fire rockets as far northeast as you can see using CTRL again, and you will be shown a few more SAM-sites, as well as the final objective. Kill the SAM sites first with the rockets (starting with the closest of course), until you can't hit any more of them. Then use CTRL to fire just southwest of the objective, as you just fall short of reaching it. By the time you get to that point, because you killed so much with the ships, they will have gotten 3 stars, the maximum rank, and their rockets give big explosions which also cause massive damage to anything next to where they land. For example that objective :p

I think the time set for that level is 2 or 2 1/2 hours, with this trick you can finish it within 30 minutes without any loses, and as scores are mostly time based here you will get the highest possible score too.

Link One of the links on this page is a large text file that has a lot of information, strategies and walkthroughs of each mission.
