For the Union! or, Why the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series is my favorite of all time.

For a long while, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 was my favorite game. The strategy involved in it made it feel very realistic, as if you were controlling the movements of real troops in an actual battle. Recently, I acquired a torrent (don't freak out, I lost my disc) of Red Alert 2 and I am playing it again. I forgot how much I loved this game.
However, much to my dismay, Yuri's Revenge won't install on my computer. I remember that Yuri's Revenge was what I favored over Red Alert 2. I can also remember, back on an old computer, installing the original Red Alert game/s just so I can see where Red Alert 2 started. This game is going to survive for a while. Even though other games that are similar in the series are still being made, this universe is my favorite (as opposed to the Tiberium and Generals universes, etc.) of all in the Command & Conquer series.
One thing I'd like to mention, Yuri looks like Vladimir Lenin minus eyebrows plus creepy eyes and a strange piece of metal stemming off of his head.
Fuck yeah, commies.
