RED ALERT Counterstrike and Aftermath

Red Alert expansions

RA had two expansion sets that came out in 1997 "Conterstrike" and "Aftermath".


Counterstrike was mainly a mission and map pack but aftermath had a bunch of new units to play with including Tesla tanks and troopers, missile subs and other cool new units. The two packs really expanded the online multiplayer capabilities of the original game platform, and this is what was cool about them. The new units balanced the game and made the soviet army better.


Some of the new units

Chrono Tank- could teleport with its built in chronosphere, had twin rocket launchers that attacked air and ground.
Demolition Truck- This bad boy was a supply truck with a nuclear bomb in it, weak armor so they were destroyed easily. Personally i liked making a chain convoy that would wear down defenses before my tanks swept in.
M.A.D. Tank- The mutually assured destruction tank was an awesome tank that blew up a few seconds after you set it off, they had a huge explosion and good armor.
Tesla Tank- A light to medium armored tank with a Tesla lightning generator in place of a cannon, great against infantry and overwhelmingly powerful in groups.
