Able Archer - WW3 - ICBM Escalation

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Happy new year! 2024 was a bit heated and I'm sure 2025 will be eh.. a blast! Enjoy!

[@ferepido3172]

It's a bit early for members isn't it :)

[@Stealth17Gaming]

@ferepido3172 Sure it is. It's hard to synchronize it for 12 different time zones though

[@jakubkvacala1880]

Hello, if you remember the video were you try use kinetik bombardment satelite and anti ground laser sat., they work the same way as your support fire cruisers, bdw you forgotten to recapture baltic states

[@DoomedDuke-i8b]

I was a beta tester and one of the bugs was they forgot to disable the “build on allied territory” so I blitzed them down in like 20 minutes

[@bigpoppa1234]

you'll never forget about norway being in nato again lol

[@efulmer8675]

42:00 As others have pointed out, you missed Norway, but make sure to check the diplomacy screen for the map color of your objectives and then check the map. The objective says "All Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact countries" and the diplomacy screen would have shown you that they are colored orange, and Norway was colored orange to try and tell you that you needed to take it back. This trick will be much more helpful in some of the later missions when things really start going wild. Also, for "Ground Zero", check if you can airlift divisions from Britain into the western arm of Iraq. If you can, that will save you an enormous headache in getting more hardware into them.

[@efulmer8675]

37:00 Even Basic CBRN dramatically cuts the damage done by biological and chemical agents to divisions but using them yourself does dramatically increase the civilian casualties so there's no real point to using them. Plus, keeping "Massacre Civilians" on does mean that a misclick can accidentally cause you to fail a mission if there is a civilian casualty limit (this mission does not have one as long as you do a reasonable job of defeating enemy divisions and keeping them away from cities).

[@AveXx]

yeah forgot about norway

[@leviska888]

Norway!

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Ah, that was my mistake

[@efulmer8675]

3:30 You should be able to reach France from the airbase in Labrador, so if you airdrop all your divisions into Labrador you can then airdrop them into France or potentially the Netherlands from that army base. I'm not sure if it's faster or necessarily better than using the landing ships, I didn't try that myself, but you can at least get something to Europe faster than the landing ships.

Newfoundland has long been a fuel stop for transatlantic flights, so I’d hope it works

[@efulmer8675]

@@mattrealdalellrus8938 But with an entire army division? A division is a lot of people and hardware.

[@efulmer8675]

24:15 I've made it to Mission 10 and I never thought to do that for my allies.

[@dolley70]

Crazy how there isn't fuel tankers for your long range bombers

[@Daedalus1701]

0:46 FYI 1017 is the hull number for the starship Constellation from Star Trek (NCC-1017)! 😅😅

[@stratvm]

aircraft tech and tech rush in a few fields are OP. you can be way ahead of the AI in the campaign until the african wars just by rushing 5-6th gen aircraft with the best agms.

[@jaywerner8415]

Ya know..... what's the point of Costal Missile Batteries if Cruisers can just 2 shot them? Feel like their should be a balance pass their. LOL you forgot about Norway.

[@dataredacted4493]

Generally you can spam out a lot more batteries then they can cruisers and use the range advantage to kill shit as it comes into range.

[@efulmer8675]

Coastal missile batteries are cheap.

[@jaywerner8415]

@@efulmer8675 True, very true.

[@jaywerner8415]

@@dataredacted4493 True, generally you have MORE THEN 1 single missile battery defending your coast.

[@ludaMerlin69]

Coastal missiles are for attriting a superiour navy at lower cost. They also cant be attacked by attaxk subs, if they are being spammed. You can store them untilnyou have a number and then release a swarm on an unsuspecting carrier etc

[@HMSConqueror]

Norway dude. You made a good defense, then used the cruisers to hammer them....and Norway was captured and still into the URSS hands.

[@kineuhansen8629]

when it come to games i am hoping 2025 get great we are already getting civ 7 in a few weeks so that going to be fun and broken arrow in june

[@efulmer8675]

15:00 Sometimes the Soviet forces won't rush the border like that and you can actually stop them at the East German border.

[@rodrigonunez9451]

Norway: i'm a Joke to you?

[@Rimasta1]

The Norwegians were abandoned. So sad.

[@DirtPutHandle]

Happy New Years!

[@fadedark8958]

Been stuck on mission 5 for like 2 weeks

[@danielkjm]

This game is awesome, but they need to decrese the damage and health of Ships, they are way too strong.

[@BarcelPL]

Wroclaw is spelled kinda like "wrotzlav" or "wrotzuav"

[@joaquinprieto1092]

Idk why but that scenario crashes my game

[@RLifer]

Bad word choice at the beginning lol "2025 will be a blast"

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Fully intended

[@bjornthies6000]

OSLO!!!!

[@EricDykstra]

I thought you said you were giving up on this game due to lack of viewers.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

I was. Then Sea Power views started dropping too. The games were even but now ICBM is worse again sadly. I enjoy the missions though so I decided to keep going

[@EricDykstra]

@Stealth17Gaming excellent! I'm enjoying these.
