Online ranked 1v1 Ladder Matches on Command & Conquer Remastered Collection - Red Alert (No commentary).

7 matches here as I try to climb up the leaderboard. My lasts session was pretty good but I didn't face anyone ranked above me. This time I face Kollektiv twice, he's a strong Red Alert 2 player and has been a strong player every season in Red Alert Remastered. I've never beaten him (on this game, I don't play RA2), lets see how it goes.

Match 4:
So I went for my strategy of just building towards my nearest ore patch and then distance mining gems and selling my MCV rather than building in two directions like the other top players do. I've had decent success with my strategy in the past, but I might eventually switch to the top player strategy on this map as it's hard to know if I lose just because my strategy is worst in matches like this when I get beat by someone who's generally better than me anyway. In this match though I didn't play ideally anyway. I think I sent my harvesters to distance mine quite a bit too early which left me with money problems while I was building my 4th refinery. Maybe just sending 1 harvester would have been ok but I sent 2 quite early when I still had a lot of ore left close by. I think in the future, I should probably get my 4th refinery down before distance mining and then sell MCV and start distance mining. I think that would allow me to consistently produce tanks the best and not run into money problems as early.

Match 5:
Here Kollectiv built 2 silos and sent a medium tank to my base whilst he built a second harvester. This meant I had more tanks than he did early on as I just built tanks. When I came to attack him he built pillboxes to makes up for my tank advantage but I eventually managed to snipe 2 of his harvesters, which put me in a great position as I had better income going forward. After that I soon had a bigger tank advantage and managed to snipe his last harvester and that was game over.

I was very happy with this session. I had never beaten Kollectiv previously so it was nice to finally get a win against him on the 6th time of trying and I didn't drop a game in my other matches against decent players here. I think I'm playing pretty well atm.
