Description: This is the heart of your base. Without it you cannot produce any structures. This is a vital building which you must keep heavy security on without this building you usually can't get very far. This strucutre usually comes in the form of an MCV which you must find a location with lots of flat ground space and deploy it. If your paraniod you can keep engineers around this building incase it gets captured. Just place the engineer close enough and keep him in guard mode so when your yard is almost dead he'll fix it for you. The Engineer also should be there in case it gets captured. If you know your opponent is heading for your construction yard and know it will be gone even though you finish his forces its not over for you yet...all you need is a war factory and a service depot and $3000. With these requirements you can build an MCV but at $3000 you could use that money for other things.

Description: This building will keep your buildings on-line. If you happen to how low power you will need more tesla reactors and on low power your radar will shut off, most defenses will not function, building production will be slower. The problem is that Tesla Reactors are fragile and easy to destroy and if a spy infiltrates your power plants you will have 0 power for 1 minute. However the Soviets have an alternative

However unlike the original red alert the naval yard can be build quite far from your base. This also serves as a repair facility for all naval units including Dolphins and Squids which is odd.

In fact walling in most structures will usually cost $400 all you need is 4 posts and it will connect together oly straight lines. Wall in your Battle Lab to prevent spies who get past your dogs. Don't Wall in any Refinery or building that makes units otherwise they won't come out refunding the cash you used.

Power -75
Armour: Heavy
Description: This is your main anti-tank defense for the Soviets. Alone this strucutre does poorly and will fall easily when alone. When placed with a few other Tesla Coils they will provide you with a good defense. Be sure to charge them with Tesla Troopers since they will help strengthen the Tesla Coil and having 2 troops will prevent it from being disabled in power outs. I usually place 3 for power.
Costs: $1000
Power: -50
Amour: Heavy
Description: This is the Soviet's Anti-Aircraft defense. This strucutre should be placed around your Tesla Coils and perhaps even all over your base. This building can shoot down Allied aircraft and rocketeers. Although it is not good in strength it is better in aim, speed and range. Plus it can damage units that are too close together.
Costs: $1000
Power: +2000
Amour: Light
Description: This is the second Soviet power plant available. This produces more than enough power to give you a stronge defense while powering up your other structures and with room for more power. Use this building when your space is limited and cash is low. The drawbacks is that when this building explodes it will be like having a nuclear missile shot at you. Only Chrono legionaires erasing will cancel this effect. Players are foolish if they destroy this buiilding with a land force since this can weakend a whole force and with high health this strcture needs a strong force to bring it down. Place this building with inexpensive structures like the barracks but don't keep it with your primary barracks otherwise most of your infantry will become mush. This building usually provide tons of power and the need of building more power plants is unecessary so if this building goes out you have little power left. To prevent aircraft attacking place this building at the back of your base and your AA defenses should take them out before they even get to this plant. Some sentry guns can help take out Chrono Legionaires.

Armour: Light
Description: This building will show you enemy movements if they selected an area that the sensor covers. This is perfect for preparing a defense force to the building giving you a hint at what your opponent is trying to do to you. This structure is useful on the computer players who sometimes target a single conscript with all of its forces. Move the conscript to the back the and computer will ignore everything until it gets attacked, perfect for ambushing

Costs: $5000
Power: -200
Armour: Heavy
Description: This building will give you the ability to fire a nuclear missile at your enemy. The missile should be enough to destroy most structures and kill all the infantry who come out of those structures since it leaves radiation in the base for a while. Although not as destructive against units like the Weather Control Machine it will still heavily damage heavily armoured units. Only 1 can be built. Enemies will also be able to see this building since all shroud on this structure will be uncovered even under gap generators.
