OpenRA

Learn from the best!

If you ignore the other 25 or so people who are better than me at Open Red Alert.

Anyway.

We all know this game is increasingly popular (even more so for those who've been around a while), with good reason! Nice community, great developer work, and loads of people on the side making maps, tournies, running servers etc.

After a productive and fun training session with Bo i'd like to offer other new players the chance to up their skill in the 1vs1 games. As we all know these skills transfer over to team games too.

I don't intend to step on Lorry's or Whocares' toes with this. This is primarily to help new comers get themselves up to speed in how 1vs1 work in Red Alert. Then once they are confident with the basics they can engage the better players in battle and learn from them if they desire.

This basically operates by being in a public Discord lobby (so others can join in) and we both play games. I will play and narrate as I go, answering questions too, then also watch yourself play offering suggestions and tips etc (viewed in game from your POV). We will cover replays to pinpoint mistakes and emphasise what you do well.

This is very loose so whenever generally works. I tend to play RA around 18.00 to 22.00 UTC, but sometimes other times.

You can post here, PM me, and/or catch me on Discord. Discord link is found in the topic at the top.

Nice

I could use some training.. send you a message somewhere these days.

A recruit training a minion, that's new

He's come to realise you're either on team watertree or you're nothing

A-soon-to-be-a-recruit would be more appropriate, I'm afraid!

Hi Eskimo,

Im a recruit, and would really want to win vs this dude named eskimo, Im playing him in a few weeks. Could you help me with that?

Cheers,

Wippie

I can arrange a victory or two for you. Paypal or bank transfer is okay by me

But seriously, we'll have a good set of matches.

I enjoy doing these so am bumping. So if anyone wants key in some strats or isolate particular issues/weaknesses we can work with that too.

Hit me up on discord

I'll send you doomsday, he managed to get a vetted mig to lose it on infantry for no reason, this dude need coaching.

Oh, fun fact, on a team game, i saw the first vet 5 light tank ever, congrat to papi for his light tank "mcv killer". seriously, who can even keep a light tank alive more than vet 1. (or who even care about a single light tank to bother micro it in order to keep it alive)

HELP ME

Sorry there's no hope for any of you minion's loosers now. Or should i says cadets?

I joke.

You still need to embrace lesson 1, arties suck.

Return when you have understood the philosophy of T1 warfare.

RAGL 5 is upon us!

Even though I want to play, I tend to be too shattered from work currently in the week so would like to get some sessions going again.

Post here or on Discord if interested.

Yeah, Happy should learn how to not leave discord and practice RA more frequently
