Hello guys and gals, I'm new to these RADEN fourms, however not to the world of Command & Conquer, which I've been playing since Tiberian Sun. I loved that game as well as Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, and C&C3 Kane's Wrath. I'm really psyched about Red Alert 3!

Now that I got that over with, I'm having a problem trying to effectively rush an AI in skirmish mode. Keep in mind that I have the 360 version of Red Alert 3. What I'm want is that achievement in which I rushed a medium opponent and won in 5 minutes or less, that's what I'm having trouble with, any tips on how I can do this as the Soviets?

I've tried mass Flak Troopers and Conscripts (sometimes with Terror Drones and/or Sickles) against a Medium Lisesste, and the bitch already had an army of IFV's, Peacekeepers, and dogs.

I've tried it as the Empire too, mass Tank busters with a mix of Mecha Tengus, didn't work either. :irked:

Against the empire, rush with Twinblades and a MiG or two as escort. Keep building Twinblades while you attack. The more Twinblades you have, the more firepower you have, the faster enemy buildings go down.

I think that I can help you out with this, I have the 360 version too and I have been trying to get this achievement as well, I came awfully close to beating it as well 5:03 minutes. I have tried this with all 3 factions but the allies came closests to getting this achievement.

As allies, remember to start with 40k on as small as a map as you can get. I went for barracks-started producing 10 peacekeepers and 8 javelins.

While thats going on, make a power plant and a refinery, rush the infantry units you've made, and make another barracks, power plant and refinery.

With the barracks youve just made keep on making what I told you earlier, 10 peacekeepers and 8 javelins, and rush them together whenever you're done.

Meanwhile, tech up to an airfield and just spam vindicators, its 6 vindicators per powerplant, barracks and refinery, 8 vindicators for warfactory and 8-16 vindicators for a deployed MCV. Build as many as you can and always send them in groups of 6 or more, its hard to micro on the 360, I know, but if you perfect it, it should be easy to get it done.

As Empire, make 2 barracks cores and send it to the front of your enemies' base, deploy them and make 4 warriors and 10 laser troops each, keep this up throughout the game.

Tech up as fast as you can to chopper/mecha VX's, and rush, about 10 should do, but if youre pressed for time, send them in 5 at a time.

As forSoviets, just follw Miles's strategy, its the best you can get with the Sovs, remeber to keep a few MiGs around though, those are key for AA defense.
