Q: Is there a way to beat the AI on hard skirmish?
A:
Yes there is. However, keep in mind that the AI has a greater building speed than you have, and a lower production cost. This means that you have to act quickly, no time to moping around building advanced structures at the beginning. Quickly build base defence and 5-10 tanks to patrol your base.

It is also easier to play against more than one AI at this level, because they now fight amongst them as well instead of concentrating all their firepower on you.

Q: Why haven't you made the pages non-frame browsers friendly?
A:
Because the majority of the browsers are frame friendly, and we haven't had the chance to make this site in both versions. But you will find the frame pages as a Microsoft Word document at our download page.

Q: When I try to load one of your savegames, I get the message "old obsolete game".
A: That's because the savegames are in RA95 format, which means that they will only work with the Windows95 version of the game. If anyone have the complete savegame history for the DOS version we will post them at once.

Q: How do you make the screen shots from RA95 without getting the psychedelic colours?
A:
You can not use the PRINT SCRN function built in Microsoft Windows 95, you will have to use a program that's compatible with the DirectX standard. We have use the DX-Grab software which is shareware. Try www.shareware.com.

Q: How do you destroy an Ore Refinery in one blow?
A:
Take a look at our NUKE SCHOOL page for illustrations and other tips on how to destroy them.

Q: Why is my game freezing between missions?
A:
This is a known bug to Westwood, and they are currently working on a bug fix taking care of this problem and others. Take a look at our WHAT'S NEW page for a more detailed list of other bug fixes to come.

Q: How can I add exploding barrels to my map?
A:
As far as we know, you can't build maps with interior design or add barrels to your maps. If anyone has found a solution to this, please let us know.

Q: I have trouble viewing your page with my browser.
A:
These pages have been created with Microsoft Frontpage 98, and is optimized for the 1024 x 768 16bit color viewing. Some pages also requires a browser that supports frames. Try out www.microsoft.com/ie for the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
