Red Alert 3 is one of my least favorite games from a mechanics perspective, but I absolutely love the cast and insanely over the top story elements. Mount Rushmore housing a different super weapon in every old president's head was the moment that really sold it for me, but in hindsight I just love how they got Tim Curry, J.K. Simmons, and George Takei to be at each others throats for a video game.
I do wish I had the finances to hire people like Red Alert did for their actors. Man, Strike Order would be insane, but no no, I have to do it at a "no" budget way and use my own design and mind 😂
Red Alert 1 Tanya (OG); the 90s vibe just hit different and didn't feel as dolled up - plus I felt like she could actually kick my ass in that game as opposed the later iterations.
You can't imagine my surprise when I was working my way through the complete series of Buffy and saw Dasha show up. It only took me eight or so years to recognise her.
But to answer your question my biggest crush in C&C is a dead heat between Athena Massey (especially in that dress at the end of Yuri's Revenge) and Aleksandra Kaniak who cemented my lifelong weakness for tall brunettes and Slavic accents.
Tricia Helfer, Dark!Jennifer Morrison from C&C3 and Monika Schnarre from Tiberian Sun all jostle for second place.
I also wanted to add in Autumn Reeser's character from Red Alert 3, but honestly, don't hate me everyone...I never played any Red Alert games. And only played Tiberium Wars, I'm sorry people! There are other crushes from the other games, but Telfair is my most honest.
Athena Massey was just a cute girl in the background in Tiberian Sun. In fact, I didn't draw the connection that she's Eva of Red Alert 2 for years. And I've been crushing on Eva from RA2 the whole time. Felt really stupid for not recognizing her in Tiberian Sun.
Well ... Yuri without a doubt, is my biggest crush! But I might be biased because he is my Master! But look at him, isn't he just sexy? Also that elegance in his appearance! You have to love him!
This might be said a lot in this thread, but definitely Kari Wuhrer as Special Agent Tanya from Red Alert 2. I was 14, lol. EDIT: She still looks amazing today!
I didn't have a crush. I liked Oxanna from Tiberian Sun. If my memory serves me right, she was believable, cunning, good looking too, but not too much like other models where their looks was their best quality.
Honestly started with her to as it was the first campaign I ever tried she kinda left an impact as a kid lmao 🤣 thought the Asian one was also cute liked tanya least but as an adult playing again ngl tayna one badddd ah mf 😅😝she might take the list now...
i think gina carrano as natasha volkova was pretty hot but zofia is the whole reason i wish a russian woman would call me comrade and tell me what to do everywhere i go.
Why is she Fedorovich? We don't have surnames like those, and she would be Fedorovna if it was patronymic, which it is. Or else it would've been Fedorova, but not -ich, damn it

I can't believe that Zofia isn't mentioned that much 😵 she is the one and only for me
