- Sixteen units competed across four rounds.

## Summary

After four rounds of reader voting over a month, the Mammoth Tank from Command and Conquer: Red Alert was chosen as the greatest real-time strategy unit in a 16-unit tournament. It narrowly beat Age of Empires’ Priest in the final, taking 52% of the vote.

The Priest had dominated earlier rounds, including winning 80% against Total Annihilation’s Peewee, but the Mammoth Tank prevailed in the close final. Both finalists faced popular challengers and large spaceships on their way through the bracket. The result crowns the heavy Soviet tank as readers’ favourite RTS unit.
