My computer wasn't good enough to handle the games after Red Alert 2 came out so I never played Generals
I used to love a bit of C&C though, my favourite tactic when they had the big indestructible laser was to build an army of engineers, like hundreds of them, and then just light brigade charge into the enemy camp and take over enough of their power stations to stop the laser working and then take their barracks and start making my own troops.

What about these days, do you have anything that can run it now? Ohhh, there is a mac version, with the awesome add-on "Zero Hour"...
... which gave the 3 factions about 3 countries each with specialist people.

I like it when you're playing with a newbie in a big 6 player game (2 on 2 on 2, or 3 on 3), and then you build all your nucular power stations in your 'allies' base. Then wait for them to accidently attach one of your troops which would end your treety and turn their base defences against your nucular power stations.

I'm exactly in the same boat
Red Alert 2 was as far as I go, but it was absolutely brilliant.

My tactic was to build as many Kirovs as possible, then just send them, following with tanks a minute or so after they'd reached the base,
