Not being overly patriotic or anything, but it is nice to see a British campaign in this game...and it's also good to see that the RAF is O.P as hell!

They need to fix the psychic AI. So frustrating when they b-line it to your hidden troops and wipe them out

[@ericjohnson7234]

Fuck yeah

[@aaronquak2139]

It's really useful too because you can bait them with a command and make the AI do crazy things... like charge through a town with 200 territorials and about 80 MAWs with ZTZ-88s

Oh, this will be really interesting for you then! Know any good places for an ATGM ambush?

[@hsnd2388]

+Raptor Sector Echo in the New Territories Area. It's a great spot for ATGM's, and the Chinese tanks will likely travel on the road bordering the sector to get a flanking attack.

[@johnmarkey9060]

Michael Chi if you don't mind me asking what are your opinions on the future of Hong Kong. As I understand there is a significant pro democracy movement in Hong Kong something that hasn't occurred in Macau. If the central government dissolves the one country, two systems agreement by 2050 or earlier do you think it'll hurt Hong Kong's status as a global business center?

[@justinwells693]

The difficulty curve is very interesting for these campaigns. I had a very hard time with this one, but a much easier time with the Climb Mount Naranodnaya one. Not to mention the Climb campaign is easily the most fun I have ever had in Wargame SP.

[@XoravaX]

Funnily enough I'm much better on defence than on offensive warfare, this is a piece of cake but the offensive campaigns are a pain in the ass. Last time I played this the troops in New Territories didn't suffer a single loss of life, thanks to some effective recon, ATGM chopper and Challenger 1 placement.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

"your tanks can't be that fast, not in the woods." Well that's what the French thought about the Germans when they went through the Ardennes. The British also thought the same when the Japanese got their tanks through the jungles in Singapore. Also, I'm from Hong Kong but I no longer live there. I visit very often though. I'm not sure how it was back in 1984, but not enough skyscrapers :P The red area at the start is mainland China and not part of Hong Kong. You can ride the MTR there and need to pass through security to cross in to China or vice versa. Although tseun wan and kowloon are where Hong Kong is most developed.

[@TheMagicBattery]

Tristan Lane eh? I heard it's like a great trading port with rich culture of street art , music , architecture , cider , festivals and people being attacked by seagulls. Something happened to it or something?

[@ganosgal]

somebody notice that the map of the mission is unaccurate because hong kong was in the 80's heavily urbanised.

[@the500mphtortoise]

The new terrotories where the fighting is is mostly mountainous parkland

The campaigns use just generic maps from the game for the tactical battles, which don't reflect the real map locations that well.

The lease was set to expire in 1997, and that was for the New Territories, (the Pensula), where as HK Island and Kowloon was Ceded as a consequence of the Opium wars.. Thatcher wanted to extend the lease, But Deng Xiao Ping had none of that, and threatened war...

[@gleitsonSalles]

Why to extend the lease why we just don't give them the islands? shit Hong Kong was better in our hands...

Is it just me or was this campaign easier than bear vs dragon? Here you have a technological advantage and just have to hold tsuen wan and destroy their navies. Really not a big deal and no time pressure.

[@TheMagicBattery]

pretty sure its just an AI difficulty change when it comes to difficulty.

[@dahju2561]

The only campaign i won with a total victory, chinese troops only holding one sector.

[@SenorMonsieur]

EiksonfromdaWehna Yeah, I haven't finished the campaigns but all the AI does is just spam a bunch of units and they all come in one big, convenient clump down one road. You just set up your units in a defensive position,( I only occupy a few sectors instead of all of them), and wait for them to come for you. So far this has been working out good for me and I am on turn 7 and I haven't lost a sector,( though, they are making an amphibious assault with their marines. Hopefully my outnumbered units in that sector can hold them off long enough).

[@ChristopherPisz]

So, in the campaign, you have like a risk type turned based setup phases between each battle, with the battles going in realtime? Do you only get the units in battle that were in the risk like map? Or do you accrue points to deploy extra units as the battle goes on?

[@basswarnow]

Beautiful Harriers!

Dude - seriously you probably have the skills to command an actual army - you're pretty god damn good; as if, you forget this is a game and pretent it's real life (when this event actually happened) I think you would of made more than a perfect General :)

[@SSDConker2]

TheSaturdayTechChannel WithMusicAndGaming That the one of the most boot comments I've ever heard. Skill in a game doesn't carryover to real life.

[@Elektrycerz1]

SSDConker2 this game is so fucking realistic thay using real-life NATO-tactics is pretty much a way to victory. Maybe WG:RD cant make anyone a serious real-life commander, but I'm sure that an Wargame player would command a real army much much much better than a, lets say, c&c player

[@VikingHaag]

+Elektrycerz I doubt it....in Wargame you don't need to manage supply lines, which is pretty much the biggest part of any war ever fought: you won't win if your tanks are out of fuel, out or ammo or the crews are starving.

[@SSDConker2]

Elektrycerz The tactics you're referring to are not exclusive to NATO, they're used by all militaries that aren't stupid enough or so poorly trained that they have to resort to human wave attacks. As far as realism goes, Arma is the most accurate at simulating a combat environment. For example, if you're in a long match,(especially with the mil sim community in the game) you're eventually gonna have to conduct a resupply. You'd have plan and communicate with your logistics guys to use the right assets to deliver those supplies to the correct location. Wargame operates as if you have constant comms with all of your forces, though lots of times in reality you either don't have comms with all friendly units in the AO or your radios and sat comms crap out on you. You're also micromanaging a lot in Wargame. In a lot of Western militaries, when soldiers are given a mission, the brief is presented in five-paragraph order, referred to by the acronym SMEAC. S is Situation (enemy and friendly force compositions in the AO, terrain), M is Mission (who, what, where, when, and (most important) why), E is Execution (includes the Commander's intent, is in essence the desired outcome of the mission, and the plan for conducting the op), A is Admin and logistics (how your guys will be supplied and how you deal with EPWs and MEDEVAC), and C is Command and Signal (What signals you'll use for certain situations and the location of your leadership and succession of command). While this the outline of how the mission is done, the most important thing that is stressed here is the commander's intent, and it's done that way so that if the situation changes, units can adapt and adjust their plan to complete the mission. Micromanaging is done a lot in militaries that operate heavily with a centralized chain of command and it prevents units from taking initiative. Arma utilizes SMEAC in the mission briefing before each mission. I apologize for jumping around topics in my reply but my point is that Arma is more accurate in simulating combat and that there are no tactics that are exclusive to NATO.
