Splash damage refers to damage caused by a weapon with a large area of effect to objects that are in the immediate vicinity of the intended target. Surviving infantry starts crawling when under such fire.

Listed below are the units and structures in the Command & Conquer series which cause splash damage, regardless of the size of the area of effect. Note: Most units that do splash damage will might cause friendly fire like GLA Bomb trucks will damage both its allies and enemies. Units that do splash damage are very important especially when the players army is outnumbered by large armadas of enemy units(Like stopping GLA angry mobs from destroying chinese overlord tanks). Splash damage will also hit cloaked units even if they are not detected.

Also, in earlier games (Red Alert 2 in particular), buildings with larger foundations are damaged more than smaller buildings due to the way the CellSpread mechanic works: basically, for each cell of a building in range of a Warhead's "splash"/AoE, the building gets hit that many times (ex.: a bomb goes off next to a War Factory, 3 cells are in Warhead's "splash"-range, War Factory gets dealt 3x the damage a regular unit or a 1x1 base defense would take). This is why Kirovs and Dreadnoughts handle all non-defensive buildings (all larger than 1x1) very well.
