Soviet Multiplayer Tactics

Here are some tactics which you can employ in a mulitplayer game when you are playing as the Soviets.
If you know any good multiplayer tactics please send them to me.


Here are some tactics for multiplay:

(KEY)
MCV- Mobile Construction Vehicle
APP-Advanced Power Plant
PP-Power Plant
OR-Ore Refinery
BAR-Barracks
WF-War Factory
RD-Radar Dome
TC-Tech Centre
TESLA-Tesla Coil
CY-Construction Yard
HVY-Heavy Tank
V2- V2 Rocket Launcher
SD-Service Depot
FLM-Flame Tower
PEN-Sub Pen
SAM-SAM Site
AIR-Airfield
HELI-Helipad
IRON-Iron Curtain
MSILO-Missile Silo
MAMMOTH-Mammoth Tank
MIG- Mig
SUB- Submarine
TAN-Tanya
RIFLE-Rifle Infantry
GREN-Grenadier
ROCK-Rocket Soldier
HARV-Harvester

Here is a good structure building order:
MCV-----> CY
PP
BAR--------------------->  RIFLE/GREN/ROCK*
OR
PP
WF---------------------->  HVY**
APP
RD---------------------->  HARV
AF
PEN (if close to water & playing vs. Allies)
TECH------------------>  MAMMOTH/HVY**
APP
TESLA
WF----------------------> HARV
MSILO
OR
APP
SD----------------------->  MCV***
APP
TESLA
WF
AF---------------------->  MIG**
AF
AF
AF**
APP
SAM**
WF---------------------> HARV
OR
TESLA
APP
MSILO
IRON****

Notes:
* Train these infantry units and sent the Grenadiers or Riflemen to scout the map; Rocket Soldiers are for Air Defense
** Build and Repeat as needed. Variation between the tanks is acceptable. More airfields should be built if needed or desired. One MIG per Airfield. Build Harvesters as needed. Mammoths are preferred over Heavies, but cost more. V2s are good for defense and hit and run attacks. Build additional SAMs if needed.
***Move and deploy MCV where needed or desired.  Be cautious and send escorts if you plan to build at another point on the map.
*****After this, build as ore/minerals provide.  If money is good, build more structures (ie another WF, OR, APP, TESLA, etc)

If you want to rush early, build like this:

MCV----------------> CY
PP
BAR
PP
OR
WF------------------>  HVY (repeat)
WF
WF
WF****
 

***** You get the idea, just build a few WFs and alot of HVYs, and after discovering the opposing base, strike QUICKLY.  If possible, cut off the enemy Harvesters as much as possible by sending garrisons of HVYs into their ore fields.  If confronted by opposing forces, rush into the base, and bring as many HVYs as possible.  Destroy enemy units first, then structures.  PPs are the best target, especially if there is only a few of them.  Without power, the enemy will be helpless, and it may sell out.  Good Luck, and Happy Hunting.
