thanks but if no one can come up with anything better i'll do this
It's one of the greatest RTS games i've ever played in my life, i ran my childhood on that game, the AI is so loving amazing.
It has superweapons, Soviet has Iron Curtain to make your tanks invincbile or kill your enemy infantry OR a nuclear missile.
Allied have a Weather Control which does less devastation, better units but a chronosphere to teleport units.
Generally if you want budget units go for Soviets as they have conscripts, half the allied GI cost but doesn't have sandbag deploy mode, so it's weak V tanks.
Allied are for the people who have alot of miners but dont have any guns on the miners and can teleport back
the Soviet miners have light guns on them
I recommend buying Yuri's Revenge and playing the campaign first and alot of skirmishes
