Thanks for the RED ALERT review! I'm right at the end of the review, but basically you've saved me from a game I wouldn't enjoy :-)
I do like the Command and Colors system, loved BATTLELORE. But in terms of space ship combat, not a good fit for me AT ALL. I'd rather play that old RISK fleet game :-)
But when looking at RED ALERT and all the supplements at the LGS, I was really really tempted.

On the downside, I'm still without an "active" space game. Any BFG is probably year(s) off, still no sign of a Droid Control Ship for SW Armada, and BSG isn't the fleet scale I really want. Maybe I'll have to play some WAR ROCKET to tide me over :-)
