They were great.
Used to play Red alert skirmish games a lot. The AI left a lot to be desired though.

Skirmish on Red Alert was rather cool, especially with the Docklands map. Let the AI opponents be isolated and build up cruisers to bombard them from a distance and aircraft to gun them down one by one!
You are right. Skirmish mode was fun, the AI was very bad and the cruisers very handy.
Setting up to many AI's resulted in horrible game peformance and they remained stupid though.
Red Alert was one of my biggest obsessions ever! As soon as I got my hands on the map editor and the tweaking settings I was even more lost in the game. Many many months went by playing up to 14 hours a day. I just can not believe it.
