STARTING THE GAME

CHOOSING YOUR SIDE: ALLIES OR SOVIETS

C&C: Red Alert gives you the option to play one of two distinct fighting forces: The Allies,

consisting of a handful of remaining free European countries that oppose Stalin; or the

Soviet Empire, the mighty war juggernaut bent on continental domination.

If you choose the Allies, you will fight against the Soviet Empire. If you choose the Soviet

Empire, you will fight against the Allies. Each side is radically different from the other,

with varying strengths and weaknesses, different units, technologies, and different

philosophies towards war. In addition, different stories will unfold depending on the side

you have chosen.

The first time you load the game, you will be taken right into the game itself, depending

on the CD inserted. If you put in the Soviet CD, the Soviet game will start. If the Allied

CD, the Allied missions will begin.

When you start a new game, a dialog box will come up asking which side you wish to

play. Simply click the side that you want and that game will begin. You may be asked

to swap the CD in the drive, depending on which side you want to play.
