the cursor over the MCV and you’ll get the Deploy cursor. You’ll need clearance on all

sides of the MCV in order to deploy it. If you try to deploy the MCV where there isn’t

enough room, you will receive the No Deploy cursor, and the MCV won’t deploy. If you

do have enough room, left-click to deploy the MCV, and it’ll turn into a Construction Yard.

CURSOR CURSOR YARD

In DOS, once the Construction Yard is set up, the Sidebar will open. In Win 95, the Sidebar

will fill with icons and become active. In the large upper window on the Sidebar, you will

see the symbol of your side (Allied or Soviet). Later, this area becomes a radar display

once you’ve built a Radar Dome – and have enough power to run it.

BUILDING THINGS

Below and slightly overlapping the radar display is a horizontal row of three icons. These are

for repairing buildings, selling them, or toggling the radar map display. Each one has its own

function (see page 19). Below these three buttons are two columns of icons. The left column

displays which structures your Construction Yard can build; the right column displays the units

you can create. The arrow buttons at the bottom of these icons allow you to scroll through the

selections when there are more than four available.

To build a structure or unit, left-click on the appropriate icon. Construction will take a period

of time, as indicated by the sweeping hand over the icon. Cost for construction and pur-

chasing will be automatically deducted from your credits. Only one unit (of any one class)

and one structure can be built at any one time. If you move the mouse cursor over the

icon (without clicking), you’ll see what that icon represents and how much it would cost

you to build, buy, or train it.

When construction of buildings is completed the word READY appears across the top of

the selected icon in the Sidebar. Left-click on this icon, and the mouse cursor will turn into

a placement grid on the battlefield. The grid gives you an idea of how large the building
