Recommend a good C&C forum

A few years ago my son hooked me on Command & Conquer: Red Alert II. I got to be pretty good at the skirmishes, but never actually tried a campaign; when he moved away, he left me a severely limited version made up from files off of his computer (I think that's called "bootleg," isn't it?)

Anyway, a year ago I bought a new laptop, so for my birthday my son bought me Command and Conquer: The First Decade. It has probably a dozen or more different games on it, including Red Alert: Yuri's Revenge, the original Red Alert and a bunch of others. I've started a campaign, but got stuck at a fairly low level, unable to figure out how to achieve all of the objectives. And I am completely at a loss about playing any of the other games. Is there a C&C community and, if so, how can I access it?

I can't think of any that won't turn up on Google, but I'm a C&C nut, so you could put some questions up here and I'll see if I know?

Excellent! Would it be OK if I use the e-mail listed in your public profile? I promise I won't inundate you, just an occasional question once in awhile.

I'm also C&C "nut". A month or so ago I finished Red Alert 2 (with Yuri's Revenge) for the third time... So if you got any question, feel free to ask.

Certainly, feel free!

(Any excuse to dig up my own First Decade copy and start playing through the original C&C is a good thing in my book)
