Command & Conquer – Red Alert – Aftermath
Cheat Codes:
————
If you want to edit the Aftermath NEW units, edit the Expand2.mix
file. Or open it in Word. You’ll see some stuff about the unit cost,
power, MAD Tank shockwave spread,etc.
Bonus Missions
————–
In MS-DOS mode, go to the directory you installed Red Alert in and
type ra funpark. When the game begins, select START NEW GAME and
choose either side for five new missions.
Free Men
——–
Build a missile silo. When the missile is ready, sell the silo and
immeidately launch the missile. If you were quick enough, the sale
will have stopped and some troops will come out of the silo.
Locate Submarines
—————–
There are 2 ways of locating submarines.
1. Select a Cruiser and scroll around while holding down Force Fire.
When you come across a the no fire sign, you have found an enemy
sub.
2. If you know that there’s a submarine near your shore line, but you
don’t know where, this will help you. Build a Naval Yard or Sub Pen,
BUT DON’T DEPLOY IT YET! Instead, scroll it around until one of the
zone squares turns red. When it does, you have found an enemy
submarine! (NOTE: If all of the suares turn red, you’re just out of
range of your base.
It doesn’t mean you’ve found 9 submarines.)
Soviet Playing Tip
——————
When playing as the Soviets, when you have a Iron Curtain and a Missle
Silo, send a tank into the enemy base. When he is attacked, use the
Iron Curtain on him. When lots of enemys come around him, launch the
atom bomb.

Tanks vs. spy:
————–
Although you may think your spy is safe if no dogs are present, tanks are
still dangerous. They will not shoot at your spy, but will instead try to
crush him.
Low power strategy:
——————-
When you have low power, your defense (Turret, Flame Tower, Pillbox, etc.)
can still function. But structures such as Tesla Coils, AA Guns, and Radar
Domes will go offline. Your radar will not appear until the power is back
to normal. However, your other structures will still build or repair
depending on how much power is available to you; the less power, the
slower the construction.
Sell units:
———–
Buy and place a Service Depot then send a unit lined up with it, but far
away. Send your unit onto the depot. When it is about to get repaired,
click the Sell icon. When the icon turns green, click to sell the unit.
Note: This requires timing.
Naval Conflict:
—————
On the skirmish level Naval Conflict, you can choose any difficulty setting.
The enemy runs out of ore too fast because they are on a small inland. They
can be easily defeated with missile subs and many bases.
Create ants:
————

Easy wins in skirmish mode:
—————————
Build between five and twenty Demolition Trucks. If the enemy has a Construction
Yard near the water, send them all up beside it in a Transport. Release them by
the time the enemies reach your trucks. You should have all the trucks on land.
After one is destroyed, it will set them off in a chain reaction. While this is
happening at the back of the base, you can send some into the front to eliminate
it. To make sure you do not lose your base, send the trucks into the transports
immediately as they are built.
