After several months of being lost, i finally found my TA cd's!

I was very pleased, and have put them as images on my computer so i dont lose them again 8)

Yeah, that pissed me off too when I couldn't find CC. I wanted my precious Krogoth :(

But yes, you can download most of the units and stuff from TA's old website (ableit pretty damned slowly).

There are places online where you can order CC for pretty cheap. I got mine at Chips and Bits.

In my opinion, quite possibly the best RTS i've ever played.

I played one level today for 2 and a half hours straight, it's just SO good, especially with all the units.

Hell yeah.

There's nothing quite like leading a major assault with your commander at the front, letting of d-gun shots left and right...capture you say?...bugger that!...explosions I say!

The variety of units, and speed and flexibility of construction is completely unmatched in games of that genereation, and I haven't seen anything that's grabbed my interest(well, barring RA2 for the sheer fun and smoothness) since. How many of us have taken one of the Battle Tactics missions with a set objective, and just seen if we could exterminate everything on the map.*raises both hands and a foot*
