Some of these campaigns look and feel like true blue tabletop wargames virtualized, was not expecting this level of scale and meticulous production coming off of the Bruderkreig test run. Can’t wait to play these with friends over the course of a couple months like Axis and Allies.
Yeah, and unlike in SD2 the autoresolve is decently functional in WARNO, so you dont HAVE to fight every battle if you dont want to. So even Highway 66 can be finished :D
That's so funny, I'm going to be going through Miltenberg next month for a wedding. I'll do what the Soviets could and bathe in the Main and the Franconian kitsch, UURAHH
The 'stands' on the East German and West German units are the wrong way round. East German units in the Fulda Gap scenario has the German 3 bar flag, but the west German stands also have the German 3 bar flag but also the central DDR gold communist motif. Hence, the wrong way round.
The 3-bar flag is upside down on the East German units as well with the yellow bar on top instead of black. Wanted to see if this was a general bug with all units on REDFOR, but he hammer and sickle for the Soviet units is right-side up.
What amazed me about the Highway 66 is each side has to reach 200 points. But with the number of units involved (and points for defeating such) plus the points for holds on the board, the campaign will still be only what 12-14 turns at most. Sure 12-14 massive turns but ... ouch. And you better learn how the AI thinks playing on the short and medium versions first. As based on the campaigns you did already, if you make a mistake in unit placement the AI will capitalize. So on a large map with this number of units the number of battles and potential for mistakes is also huge.
The British Harriers in Left Hook are carrying AIM-9L air-to-air for self-defence. The last scenario is going to be massive. I still wish there was the capacity to drop bridges. Platforms like the Strike Eagle would be able to do it with ease using LGB/GBUs. I'm looking forward to this. I'd love this kind of co-op in UAD.
Yep, dropping bridges is one of my wishes as well. That would hugely change the battlefield. Not sure how they'd counter that unless they added some sort of engineering or bridging assets
@@4rnnr_as I'm always having an issue with cognitive dissonance in these games. It's a case of what I had to learn and research over the years versus what happens in-game. IRL, dropping bridges to slow down and funnel Pact forces was a given. As a result the Russians had entire engineering battalions dedicated to building assault bridges etc, that were to follow directly behind the main armoured elements. Their SAM/SHORAD/AAA threat was expected to reduce NATO CAS pilot life-expectancy to a maximum of 2 weeks. With Wild Weasel units of F-16, F-4, Jaguars heavily tasked to SEAD/DEAD just to allow the Strike Eagles and others to operate overhead long enough to kill the bridges, while A-10s ran interference up and down the autobahns chewing on armoured columns to slow them down.
@@TheCaptainbeefylog инженерных войск здесь очень не хватает. F-15 уничтожили мосты? Наводи понтонные переправы, подгоняй танковые мостоукладчики. Нужно проделать проход в минных заграждениях? Пускай вперед танки с минными тралами. Нужно быстро проложить дорогу прямо через лесной массив? Разворачивай батальоны с инженерными машинами разграждения
@@TheCaptainbeefylog It's definitely a gameplay thing. Engineering work is awesome but destroying and building bridges in the middle of a match sounds more than a little tedious. NATO players would not stand for 'lore-accurate' PACT AA. etc.
So this is something I learned just recently but the 11th ACR was actually just meant to stop PACT forces for as long as possible, even to the point of sacrificing the whole unit, to delay them and allow other units to deploy to the front
It is insane to think that the 11th ACR, being the elite formation that it was, was to act as a sacrifical pawn, because only such a unit with the cutting edge of American weaponry would last long enough to matter instead of suffering obliteration immediately once WW3 started.
Every hour of delay means whole units are formed and readied as reservists report in. Those units then hold until whole reforger divisions start landing. It's really a time game more then anything.
From the pact side they're a very nasty speed bump but if you're playing smart in Bruderkreig they won't slow you down at all. The new bridge map makes things harder than they were when the first campaign launched, but in forcing short-range engagements and utilizing your AT planes, it's still very possible to kill ~20 Abrams for the loss of 4-8 T55's, even on three stars.
Well then, this should be excellent content for the rest of the year and for next year as well, since the devs are adding NORTHAG and SOUTHAG in 2 future DLCs. Looking forward to your playthroughs with your friends, both in keeping up with the latest episodes and then rewatching to find the crucial decision points that you didn't know at that time.
FOBs come only with Headquarter units, which there are few off on the battlefield. Though they get 4 Fobs each, so a LOT of ammo for any arty spamming combined with them. The Helicopter formation has CVs in form of helicopter CVs. The British will also get Buccaneer reinforcements in the left hook as a choice. I fought 150 Battles in testing the Highway 66 campaign, with autoresolve only, taking me around 8 h, if you play them all I would guess it would be 100h + you might want to consider autoresolving at least a few battles :D
i'm gonna refrein from starting from the big one and go with a more organic approach, i love this campaign, i really love coming from EE how they managed to get to a more realistic approach to strategic, the only things that still i don't like about warno is the more arcady and fast paced game stile compared to wargame and that with that campaign like in SDII we will only get an handful of maps while in reality we would need 15 if not 20, the dream would me a somewhat map generator counting the average stats of (hills, city and plains) in a certain zone of the map and creating a map with these values
Damn, that's a really out of touch opinion. Fast paced compared to wargame? just wow. About the maps I am just sure you have no idea what you are talking about.
@@grudgebearer1404 hello, i returned to the game last day, i've played the game a lot a few months back and while the fast pacing remains i was wrong about maps, fast pacing i think is subjective, i honestly preferred the wargame as it had a cleaner ui and you can make faster decision, but i still manage to beat the first campaign but if you compare to especially the EE campaings i very much feel its nowhere near the ai offensive intensities cheers
@@grudgebearer1404 very hostile response to a personal statement. Anyways. While he might be wrong about there not being enough maps, it is very possible to use map generators based on real-world GIS data and replacing zones with in-game assets. It may even be possible to have a 1989 survey result be the groundwork of all battles, and it only encompasses that area around Fulda.
interesting that the Redfor GDR gehts the FGR-Icon and the Bluefor FGR gehts the GDR-Icon on the map :D But interesting. I hope to see you playing it. Most interested in seeing you playing NATO
So this is where we get the sequel to Stealth Vs. Sparky/Stealth-Sparky co-op? I really loved those two series, and occasionally pop them back on to rewatch highlights.
On American units the first number is the battalion the second is the regiment. So 1st battalion 5th infantry regiment reads as 1-5. For cavalry it is squadron instead of battalion.
One thing they definetly have to fix is the unit symbology.... west german forces use the east german flag while east german ones use the west german one XD
@@agreenarrow Sorry, I don't have time to do that right now. I might record the massive campaign with my friends. That will last for months. Haven't fully committed to that yet though, as WARNO videos don't do that well, sadly.
Both a 1v1 and 2vAI would be good in these large ones. 2vAI would make it easier to orgenize everything while a 1v1 would make it more strategic since I still think that the AI just charges you and doesn't consider losses or the possibilities of retreats at all even if it would be better.
At 12:00 it's a bit difficult to read the regiment contents when its covered up by your scrolling patron and members hopefully Warno expands more. it always irks me a little that large areas of Europe always seems to be ignored in favour of the classic 'western' front. I can imagine there'd be some interesting campaigns to be set around the NATO's 'south' i.e Greece and Turkey
Red dragon is old, they cant stick to a 10 year old game forever. I loved it but these campaigns are going to be better in every way except for unit variety. I hope someday they can add all the nations and maps that red dragon had too. Imagine a campaign of this style in the second korean war campaign of red dragon?

It somehow hit home

So freaking cool
anyone noticed that the round flags that are on the map have east and west germany swapped?
example: 22:21 , the west german flags are on the soviet side and the east german flags are on the NATO side

I wonder if the patch that fixes German flag issues will destroy savegames
I like warno , but I find it strange when in defence you have no defences , and you start at the back , unlike SD2
