#7 Agressiveness( Requires knowledge of all the rules stated before hand) Game of wargame is all about the innitiative. If you dictate the battle or the enemy does. If you keep the innitiative, you can decice, where to attack, which means you can concentrate your forces and the enemy has to be dispersed in order to repel you. 1. Think of clear tactical objectives and the start, asses the map, asses the probable enemy disposition (Decks, experience...) 2. Make a point of attack. Dont stretch yourself all across the map in orded to defend. Make a spearhead and make your enemy respond to YOU!, not the other way around. 3. Holding/Delaying forces. This is the shield of your agressive opening. You dont have to hold the line in the beggining. It will take time for the enemy to get to critical areas and since you are concentrating your strength in one place, he has to respond to that, or he ll lose the base. 4. Stay agressive for the rest of the match. If its destruction or conquest. You need to stay agressive. Capture terain, capture the road, make coherent attacks, dont waste units. Since the enemy has to respond to immidiate threats, the units will arrive later and by the time, the response to your attack, which happened 2 min ago, your attack might have changed and he has to respond again and YOU! keep him from making a coherent force. All this can be applied in Conquest and Destruction, BUT in Destruction, this requires much more skill and experience.
+Eduard Zubo I would say that this is always good for flanking. You should never just look at one point at the map. Always be looking for a new route to the objective and always be looking for a weak point. When you find a weak point, you have to exploit it quickly and with full force in order to push an enemy into a box, This is the best way to weaken them as you do not have to do a full frontal attack but you have cut off their forces from reinforcement and air support which is a deadly position to be in.
I'm a bit late to the party but one trick I've found useful when planning or going in to an attack is to use empty troop helis as decoys, allowing them to be spotted moving to a potential flanking position on the other side of a dense forest. This forces the enemy to respond to what they think is an infantry landing. The catch is that before all this happens, you move your actual force into the same forest unseen and so are ready to ambush them as soon as their responding units get into range. You can also just land actual infantry and then be able to pincer any responding forces.. And worst case scenario if things go bad you can retreat and use the helis for evac
Started watching your videos Stealth. Learning alot about my mistakes , non productive choices as well as understanding why certain choices are problematic 10-20 mins after i make them. Your videos and commentary has been of much assistance in my own After Action Reports and improving my own skill set. Linked your videos in our Arma 3 Section of our Discord ( Covers our Arma 3 , Wargame and other mil game type games we play ). Thank you kindly.
+afro snyper You're taking Wargame too seriously then. I do the same thing and that's how I know. Learning how to not care too much about what you have and just have fun is the hardest part about Wargame.
+afro snyper Play some honcorps. Spread a thousand Jägers across the map constantly, use them as fodder, have some fun with classic german armor like 1a5 and 2a1 etc. Of course this is prefference, you may not like honcorps. But give it a shot.
As I am a fan of your videos Stealth, I'm set aback about why you mentioned nothing about your Command Vehicle being lost in Alpha. I understand there wasn't much you could do there, but I'm just surprised you said zero things about it. If you could say something about that, what would you have in hind sight? (That's not a Russian helicopter joke though).
+prague Talking about the lost CV didn't add to the point I was trying to make. This was a gameplay commentary but a guide. As for hindsight: wouldn't have changed much. I couldn't allow them to capture the zone and overwhelm me. Keep it there as long as possible and hope it survives was my only option until help arrived to negate their spawn zone.
+Stealth17 Gaming That's exactly what I thought you would have said in the video... "Keep it there as long as possible and hope it survives was my only option until help arrived to negate their spawn zone."... which was a part of what you were talking about, which was Planning Ahead. Just something I noticed :D.

Thanks man!
Didactic and concise guide, excelent for beginners. Regarding pt. 1 --> Needs more recon.
Great video! I always love your guides and tips and tricks!
Thanks stealth, I am a beginner at wargame and this is really helpful
Love all of your Red Dragon vids.... :-)
Please tell me what map this is. I don't remember seeing this one in skirmish mode. However, I have not played all the skirmish mode maps.

Can you do a video on bridgeheads and other types of strategic territory.
I'm at that point now where I don't know what deck to use. hit random and do the best with the units I have.
