Harvesting IEDs in Afghanistan - Afghanistan '11

- You know, I do actually like this game. It's just a very weird strategy game, and could really do with offering shorter missions or ways to "force" a victory. It's just not for everyone. Still, it's fun for those who are weird and actually enjoy logistics, like me.

The coalition pulling out without warning is the most accurate part of this game
"The coalition bows out"
"I was not prepared for that!"
And neither were they!
Aged like a goddamn free trial
"There's IEDs everywhere."
Was in Afghanistan in 2011 as a route clearance engineer, yeah, pretty much.
was bouta say this is pretty much realistic lol except the vehicle ability to survive ieds
Thank you for your service. I know we probably aren’t from the same country, but I thank you nevertheless
Was there in 12, zaharay province I can concur on this statement we kept EOD and sappers busy AF
@@chrisvids184 our rg31 took a 300lb device hit. All survived
@@angry_z_rider4275 i know alot of newer tech helps vehicles now days but alot of deaths were also caused by those ieds before because not every vehicle is lucky
Farm grown, all natural IED farming here, not a chemical in sight just a honest farmer
It ain't much but it's honest work
The coalition leaving the ANA with no defense out of nowhere, man, back then that sure seemed impossible.
>Can play as american or british, but not as soviet.
>Playing as british doesn't set start date at 1839
We're not to a good start it seems...
The Soviets suffered the most when they invaded too
@ you'd never know nowadays. Maybe the original commenter is really some nutjob without a sense of humor?
@gillecroisd 92 ah, yes, Char 2C, famous WWI vehicle.
@@TheArklyte When someone mentions the Soviet invasion it's almost certainly a joke

"You can drop supplies to the villages"

So that’s how that scene from generation kill happened, it was a misclick.
*Obama has entered the chat*
They should make a version of this set 10 years later and you are an Afghan commander trying to stop the Taliban from overrunning your country. Except you are alone
Best meme of the entire game?
The ANA actually being able to hold their own and not get overrun immediately without Coalition support...
Every single one of the ANA soldiers in game are all relatives of jamsheed
@@Bruh-hq1hx JAMSHEED!!!!
@@dinosaurman4000 Jamsheed god of the rpg
Unpopular opinion, but I found the ANA forces reasonably realistic and useful in the game, provided they played a supporting role - use their artillery and helicopters for support, and the infantry as cannon fodder and FOB security in the hope that they become experienced enough to stand up to the Taliban.
...and then sure enough, the coalition withdraws, they become responsible for their own security, and the Taliban pretty much steamroll them because you haven't got any reliable troops to carry them. Just like real life :(
well. Topical now
So many roundabouts. No wonder they hate us. You're building Swindon in their country!
8:54
You can tell he's playing the British, because now they're building roundabouts all over the place.
Minister of Defence: Chancellor, why has 90% of the military budget been allocated to road building and maintenance?
Chancellor of the Exchequer: Trust me, it will pay off in the long run.
9:36 We heard you've been building roads.
*now hand em over*
I have a feeling the number of roads may increase the spawn rate for the Taliban.
also....
Rimmy "oh my god they are just appearing everywhere how many are they" the entire british military during the war XD
So a road made of roundabouts=taliban manpower and Equipment ×10
@@Bruh-hq1hx seems it yeah
I like what this game has to offer and the premise of it, but i think it needs some work mechanically to be abit smoother an easier to play, even though it seems designed to be difficult. Building improvements for villages is fun and building roads and such. But it feels like there should be more, but im not sure of what. Like maybe base improvements like Guard outposts to fight off taliban or MG emplacements perhaps. Maybe giving Towns their own policeforce to report on IEDs or ANA barracks to act as AI allies to fight Taliban but with sometimes a chance to turn into defectors.
Honestly though i would love to see a mod of this game where you are in the US/near Innsmouth trying to fight off a Deep One insurgency or other Lovecraftian cults.
-Rimmy when Coalition forces withdrew from the area : *"They're in the sand, Abdul!"*
-Taliban when Coalition forces withdrew from Afghanistan : "It's free real estate."
Jeez, reading that second comment and then looking at what's happening now.
If this game had ended with Rimmy fleeing Afghanistan while stealing all the treasury it would've truly been ahead of its time
13:20 I’VE BEVER HEARD RIMMY LIKE THAT
That is the sound of panic, my friend
@@thegrayowl1557 Rimmy has faced Chaos Titans, ARMA Physiks, and whatever the fuck Men of War: Cold War was, and yet a massive pile of Arabs with kalashnikovs is what made him squeal.
@@Shogun0099 Freedom fighters are always the scariest.
@@ls200076Those freedom fighters fighting their own government
Just so you know Rimmy, one of the missions the Militia units do is plant IEDs. They'll move to the nearest road (or sometimes other hexes), plant an IED, and then immediately disband. That's why you get IEDs on roads you build.
When Rimmy is in control of a unit in the Middle East.
2009 Rimmy tactics showcase.
When the coalition left, thats what we call realism.
Truly an accurate depiction. You can build the well-known "Highway to Nowhere" in Afghanistan like in real life.
This is like an ArmA op run by Liru.
So a shitshow happens somewhere, sometime?
GaldirEonai Who is your avatar?
yay people know who he is lol
@@titanuranus3095 Nobody in particular, just something an artist I knew drew for me once.
@@GaldirEonai In Austria?
Gosh I love the Scimitar tank. A whole platoon of them in one of my tabletops nearly wiped out a company worth of BTR’s I think.
Damn it, i didn't know you did't have to put the panama in the front of a convoy in order to make it detonate IEDs... so... many... Panamas... dead.
Wait, if you can exploit the game for infinite "money" and can build stuff for said political support... can you urbanize whole Afghanistan by exploiting british taxpayers?
yeah

More content like this, please, genuinely interested in this kind of games
the war against Taliban aka "the war on terra"
Yes Lindybeige
would not have guessed Rimmy watched Lindybeige but I am delighted to know that is the case
Everyone who watches at most 8 seconds of a Lindybeige video instantly subscribes. They then proceed to binge watch every video on his channel... Once that's complete, next they brag to everyone they've ever had contact with about him. These are not made up statistics, these are absolute facts! I would watch a video of Lindybeige doing his taxes as long as he was talking..
@@roguekwads_fpv7368 See that actually surprises me. A lot of my friends and I dislike Lindy for how inaccurate he is about the historical aspect of things. But hey, glad to meet someone that likes him. Cheers
@@roguekwads_fpv7368 I am the in perfect agreement.
This game hits different these days.
this game is basically a more combat based and 3D Rebel Inc.
Rimmy is channeling Spiffing I see
The Royal British Empire has been revived and all of the commonwealth Praise the Queen!
You still did better than the real thing!
>logistics
>fun
Oh, Australians
9:40
"We heard you were making some....roads.....be...be a shame if something happen to them."
Coming back a year later and hearing "ahhh! Its the Taliban international!" Is... odd.
>political power
*Peaceful Hitler Flashbacks Intensify*
15:20 "It's almost harvesting season!"
This video seemed awfully foreshadowing of 2021
Fun Fact there is an earlier game in this series about the Vietnam war, it's about the same but with less road mines and if you let the VC get out of hand the NVA shows up... with tanks.
Clearly that MOAB decided to become a pacifist and only do property damage from now on.
The ending of this game has aged well
Anyone else notice the irony in having a 100% IED resistant Land Rover Snatch ?

Yes, apparently, yes.
I would love to see more of this, this looks really fun.
Very nice Lindybeige video on the Officer's Kit. Thanks for the reference to it 👍
I love that 10th mountain is in this game, just got out from that division a few months ago just before the afghan pullout, it's good to see some representation.
Reminds me of an article I read ages ago about a village who was building a fake Taliban training camp every few days so that they could sell off missile shrapnel
Rimmy you're crossing dangerously into Spiffing Brit territory here xD
More of this please rimmy!
*the gla would like to know your location*
And that's pretty much how it ended in real life, too.
Please play this again, this was a blast to watch
always good to see you upload
9:01 did Rimmy just make Afghani Swindon?
I mean, not that I'm complaining, it just seems a bit on the strange side . . .
Rimmy knows lindybeige. I love it when youtube spheres collide like this, it makes you feel like you are part of a single living breathing connected organism.
I see this game accurately represents us American's by randomly pulling support!~
Glad to see your voice is doing better Rimmy.
I just saw the movie outpost and that FOB that had the massive taliban force reminded me of camp cutter
This is why I love you Rimmy, you have a sense of humour and you know how to use it. Also, I love your gameplay. IS that fair to say?
I appreciate the lindybeige shoutout in the beginning
LOVE thé Lindybeige référence!
I give you a suggestion: special forces have 2 formal role, training and scouting, so to win you must sent them on the montain and scout everything. Check the intelligence to know how many militia, taliban and crops are in the map,
I was playing this game before and there were these 2 isolated villages in the mountain and the Taliban loved to plant ieds literally all around the village so I’d just have an MI8 fly over, drop infantry into the village, mine sweep, and then watch like 6 ieds go off all around the village
I just realized this is exactly what happened when the coalition pulled out.
Historically accurate
Or should I say accurate prediction.
U just made my day by mentioning lindybeige
I’d like to see more of this 😂
ahhh rimmmyyyy, a man who knows lindybeige is a man worth talking about the difference between clips and magazines with
that round about you built reminds me of Canberra
AFGHANISTAN '11 IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED GAME WITH NO EXPLOITS - Excluding Roads
Because I can smell Yorkshire Tea through the screen when this video's on it.
Great plan for farming ieds for money. As for caves, I saw militants appear on map without walking track marks on map so you can kind of tell where militant caves are even if it is a guessing game. A Moab dropped random sky could probably take out one cave per drop I guess.
This is an accurate representation of the amount of IEDs that were placed in Afghanistan
Well this is weird I was in Afghanistan back in 11 and yes the IEDs were that bad
I will say, the IED thing is totally spot on.
I see roads of IED.
Red soda cans too.
I see them boom.
Near me and you.
This aged well like flowers
I just love this game (and its system) like candy...
Now this is EpIC
Damn those are a lot of "country roads"
This hits different now
Rimmy watches Lindybeige? YEAH!
I like how the URL end with PIE
I'd watch you play this again 4sures!
Havent watched the full thing but to explain the panama its remote controlled and has a ECM Jammer on the front which disables IED's and then EOD Clear them they are used on like common roads
This game was truly ahead of its time
Gotta harvest the IED’s before the rains come.
Sweet Lindybeige reference.
We demand more. Also imagine if the coalition pulled out that easily irl.
This aged poorly
This just reminds me of Outpost Keating.
Congrats, you created the DC Beltway.
Arma 3 operations when 90 percent of all of Rimmy's forces betray/ditch him.
MOABs are actually classified as bunker busters I believe, made precisely to deal with caves.
But yeah, they still should kill shit. It's the usual criticism against them irl: So powerful that collateral damage is pretty much inevitable.
Heard Lindybeige, liked, subscribed
Pretty timely recommendation, thanks youtube.
