Don't mention "THE WORD" (neutrality hehehe...) cause that's what 48.6\% of the population is afraid to loose. Funny that even without being a UNO-member Switzerland always followed the recommendet UN-Sanctions. We just waited some days in order to then say: Well, we as a neutral country can support this or that sanction because blablabla

Regarding your recommendations: I do agree 100\% with you. I'm asking for a specifc reason: I'm about to gather 8 - 12 ppl for regular gaming and I wanted to give those ppl some recommendations how to form 2 or 3-men teams. They seem to me quite agile, independent and can - if well coordinated, be quite effective in the "field". But hey, your absolutely right!

Cu,

I see. I think, adding one engineer for eventual repairs and maybe one sniper for long-range support (to protect the engy's back) could be a very sexy combination too

thx zukkov!

Early in the game grenadier+infantry is a useful combo. In C&C_under, there is a hill in the center of the map. Grenadiers can lob grenades on top of that hill, over rocks and over the ledge. If the enemy takes cover too close you might be able to hit them.

Best anti-tank duo: Sydney/Ravesaw x 2 (Although it can be more expensive than a couple of tanks from either side, they can plow most of the inexpensive vehicles and help slow down those darn APC rushes. I love using these guys later in the game as a defense especially when the Obelisk/AGT is down or not part of the map.)

Best anti-building duo: Rocket Launcher Soldier x 2 (Imagine, 2 rocket soldiers versus a tiberium refinery... OUCH! They are cheap early on in the game and when you get a group of them with a few regular infantry to protect you then you basically own the map from the very start. 2 of them are enough to take out the refinery given that every single person on the opposing team is not repairing it, most likely they are not because of the lack of teamwork...)

Best anti-building duo (late in the game): Engineer x 2 (You can also do this with a vehicle probably with an APC stuffed with anybody else that wants to come along. I was never good with APC rushes because I can do them on foot a lot better for some reason but when you plant those C4s on any master control terminals the building is officially turned to rubble. I don't see them needing a lot of defense especially if you use the regular engineers since they don't cost you any money to start with them...)

Best GDI vehicle duo: Mammoth Tank x 2 (They are slow but they are powerful. If you take it a few treads at a time you can practially dominate the map once you get them. It is probably best to start taking out the big opposition when you are using them though so they don't take out your armor faster than you take out theirs.)

Best NOD vehicle duo: Flame Tank and Mobile Artillery (Sounds kinda wierd but it works. On maps like hourglass and city you can use the flame tanks as a distraction when defending or attacking. When both vehicles are strafing back and forth and the flame thanks is shooting wildly the oppsing team will have a much harder time hitting your mobile artillery. Plus, the flame tank serves as a great shield for your mobile artillery.)

I hope this helps.

Sorry for neither being US nor UK-Citizen. I'm just a poor old fart from Switzerland. That's - btw - not Sweden. We're the guys with the banks, the chocolate and the clocks .

But thanks anyway. Prolly "Pls point it out" or the like would have been more appropriate.

What about the army knives ?

So long,

I got your idea and I agree 100\% with you

So long,

I am currently trying to get together a bunch of - say - 10 to 20 ppl that are willing to play AS A TEAM (or better AS TWO TEAMS) together about once or twice a month at the evening (evening = 20.00 - 23.00 CET).

Not that easy.

If anyone is interested to join what I call the MOG (Ministry of Gaming), please let me know. I'll contact you by mail.

We have already four members but in order to have a full attack/defense combo for two teams 10 - 20 ppl would be requested.

Feel free.

So long,
