Some of the Soviet Structures

Nuclear Reactor: A Soviet Advanced Power Plant. Lots and lots of power. When it explodes, run for cover: radiation spreads fast.

Battle Lab: A specialized lab that gives the Soviets access to a number of advanced units and buildings. Two sensors visible on the building monitor Radiation levels and Chrono Particle levels.

Cloning Vats: Honey, we're having twins: Whenever the player builds an infantry unit, another one comes out at the Cloning Vats. In addition, if the player gets control of an enemy infantry with Yuri, he can order the infantry to enter the Tanks and the player permanently gets the ability to make that unit type.

Psychic Sensor: Eye see all. The psychic sensor detects enemy troop movements, super weapon attacks and enemy attacks that occur within its sensor radius.

Iron Curtain: The Iron Curtain is a powerful force-field that can make all units and/or buildings within its 3x3 grid immune to attack for 45 seconds. This ability does not affect units in the air or under the water. Infantry hit by the Iron Curtain are turned into human toast and die screaming.

Some of the Allied sturctures

Air Force Command: This provides the allies with radar and serves as a location to land four aircraft units.

Prism Cannon: Fires chromatic beams at enemy units, giving new meaning to the term "shedding light on the situation." Prism Cannons can work together to create a web of Prism defense.

Weather Control Device: This device allows the player to access the Lightning Storm special ability.

Chronosphere: Used to create the Chronosphere special ability, which allows for teleportation.

Spy Satellite Uplink: The building that allows the Allied player to see the whole map. Once the uplink is built, the entire map is cleared of shroud. If the uplink is destroyed, the player's shroud resets.

Gap Generator: This cloaking device can hide associated units from enemy site. When deployed, the Gap Generator turns into a "Super Gap Generator" that consumes four times the amount of power but has a wider area of affect.

(Please note: These are only a few of the new units in Red Alert 2. A complete unit list will be released soon.)

Kirov Airship: This surprisingly well-armored blimp is good for intensive attacks against bases, and never needs to re-arm.

Yuri: Having graduated beyond bending silverware, Yuri can mind-control a single enemy unit, or -- if he's taken his Gingko -- deploy to give off a psychic wave that kills all infantry in the area (except units immune to psionics).

Attack Sub: This Soviet naval raider stays submerged when moving around and is undetectable by most enemy units. When it surfaces, it can make short work of land units, using its deck gun takes care of shore targets. It fires torpedoes at naval targets. Always surfaces to fire.

Giant Squid: Never big fans of sushi, the Soviets use these mind-controlled creatures of the deep to latch onto enemy ships to slow them down or even drag them under. Squid are a useful defense against Allied SEALs and Dolphins.

Some of the Allied Arsenal

Spy: The spy is sneaky. In "disguised mode," the spy looks friendly to enemy forces. He can also steal enemy technology and credits. Beware, even the Spy can't fool the attack dogs.

Tanya: This saucy soldierette carries C4 charges to flatten enemy buildings and sink ships with one hit. She can also swim. On the down side, Allied regulations prohibit bikinis in the theater of war.

Chrono Legionnaire: With his time-warping chrono suit, the Chrono Legionnaire can teleport from place to place. Has a slow rate of fire but one hit automatically erases an enemy unit from history.

Solar Refractor: This huge mirror and focus device solar energy to focus a beam of light that easily bounces off objects to hit nearby enemy units. The Solar Refractor's beam can bounce many times, striking multiple targets.

Aircraft Carrier: Launches aircraft that attack enemy targets. Aircraft replenish automatically at no cost to the player.

Dolphin: Flipper with an attitude: sub-surface unit that can devastate enemy forces with a special sonic attack. Also can detect enemy submarines.
