Generals Stupid Units

Why don't the units engage the enemy? Sometimes they do not attack
even though they are getting attacked, they just stand there.

You're the General, they do what you tell them to do. If you tell them to
just stand there they will, I've never had that problem myself.

Yes, just select them and then click the Guard Area button, then select an
area and click again and they will attack any enemy unit that enters the
selected area

I think people are missing the point here. In the options menu for the game, theres an option called "Retaliation". If you don't have this clicked, your units wont do anything if theyre being attacked.

Hope this is of help

Unlike previous C&C titles such as RA2, yuri's, tiberian etc. all units can definitely just automatically attack and defend when an opponent go near them, but on the Generals you must control them each time when an opponent attacks you.
