1. Some missions in different C&C titles have the same name. Give one. (There's more than one answer to this)
2. What was the name of the leader of the Bolivian cult?
3. What do the four following units from Red Alert and its expansions have in common: V2, MiG, Submarine, Badger Bomber?
4. Of the following scientists and advisors in the C&C series - Mobius, Einstein, Tratos, Dr Boudreau, Dr Giraud - one is the odd one out. Who and why? (I'm not talking about the fact Einstein is not fictional; instead I'm referring to events in the storylines)
5. Name three actors who have each portrayed more than one different character in C&C game cutscenes. (Kane only counts as one character)
6. In Tiberian Sun, what other unit fires the same weapon as the Hover MLRS?
7. What's a "tank tank"?

tratos and his knoledge of the tacitus is not very well explained from my point of view, kane should know much more than tratos about aliens´s technologies.

You mean for question #3? The submarine and MiG was in RA1, 2 and 3. The Badger Bomber was in both RA1 & 3, but the V2 was only in RA1 (unless you consider the V3 and V4 in RA2 and 3 respectively to be the same unit that the V2 was).

what do just those four units have in common that the other red alert+counterstrike+aftermath units do not?

i've just realised that the Civilian can be added to the list, by the way.

Joe Kucan actually counts as well.

19. Which character that you have played in the C&C FMVs is your favorite?
I play the black-suited commando character that takes out a guard (played by Frank Klepacki!) in "Red Alert" - I think that guy's my favorite. Even though he's only on screen for about a second and a half, I created a rich and detailed backstory that motivated his every move - he was married to a chemistry professor and lived in a small Colonial-style house with their 2 children, twin girls named Nancy and Darla. If you watch carefully, you can see that he moves with a slight limp - the result of an old college Lacrosse injury. His favorite color was yellow, favorite food was pork chops, and he collected baseball cards from the 1970's. I was really hoping that the fans would notice such attention to detail and demand that character get his own spin-off game. No such luck.

Frank Klepacki also played a few parts, on that note, if I recall. I can't remember them all, but I'm pretty sure he has.

Frank Klepacki did the voice of the original Tiberian Dawn Commando in-game. I'd attach the sound byte that explains this, but it's not letting me do it in this subforum (and I can't find where I think I attached it elsewhere on these forums). Not sure what other parts he's played in the FMVs, though.

Edit: PM'd liquid and zimmer with the clip. Found a better source on Frank Klepacki's own site though:
http://www.frankklepacki.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i d=164:commentary-franks-acting-cameos&catid=12:blog&Itemid=15

Edit 2: and the Wikipedia article with visual proof of Joe Kucan's other "role": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Klepacki

Klepacki played one of the guards in a RA1 FMV as soon on his Wikipedia page that havoc9826 linked, he also played one of the "Net runners" at the end of the Nod campaign in C&C95.

It's the "C&C: Voice of the Commando, and I also appear as a nod cybersoldier that gets electricuted."
