i preferred the russians in the sirmish but i loved the allies in the campaign at times, but then there was the end missions on red alert 2 when, no matter what army you played as, you had to go into moscow and beat the russians that had allied with yuri lol the americans had an easier time because they could chronosphere the black gaurd away but when it came nuking the kremlin with the russians it was harder because they kept sending the kirovs at you and then tere was the ground units that attacked aswell, they kept you pressured and desperate for money but it felt bloody good when you win in the end and you know it was worth the pressure
