Hey everyone! Thanks for taking a look at Wargame: Red Dragon! If you want to play the game yourself and support the channel, here is the link. www.epicgames.com/store/p/wargame-red-dragon?epic_creator_id=e7c3f06509d940a1ae6e0806d2f84284&epic_game_id=d66c34349a054c3ea529726a5687520e
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
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.
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.
Its fun to watch because I live in Hong Kong and know the places and stuff and it seems my fate in is raptor's hands! btw tsuen wan is pronounced with the 'S' silent
+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.
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?
"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.
Tristan Lane The Canadians provided us with a little place of refuge in Vancouver - but back in the old country our culture is being erased by the day courtesy of the communist Chinese.
Tristan Lane Would have preferred Bristol lol but I heard the UK already have their hands full of middle-eastern immigrants so .... perhaps I'll be British in another life
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?
wow raptor! Listen to your voice it's so different i like to call this classic raptor! 7 years congrats raptor! keep going! you have many many years i alweays enjoy your videos! Thank you!
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...
When I first played this campaign the ai spawned every t55 it could right where I had thin defense then my second time they spawned like two with a shit ton of infantry. The AI in this game is hard to pin down on start.
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.
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).
After the Sino-British Joint Declaration (1984), a pop singer from Taiwan wrote a song about Hong Kong, calling Hong Kong “Pearl of the Orient”. The song was played on the Hong Kong handover ceremony and became popular.
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?
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 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
+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.
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.
realistically speaking shouldn't the Chinese outnumber the British several to one in 1980s just in Hongkong? Also, weren't the Chinese at its best relationship with the West in the 1980s therefore no reason to fight?

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!
Nothing wrong with rooting for your team.
Praise the emperor

Raptor is the reason I bought Wargame Red Dragon.
Same got it last year and it’s one of my favorites
ikr, i hope he makes new vids about this game,cant wait for the south african
They need to fix the psychic AI. So frustrating when they b-line it to your hidden troops and wipe them out
Fuck yeah
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
Therapist - So how does that make you feel?
@@aaronquak2139 How???
This campaign hits slightly different in 2020...
Yes it's finally here !!
Show them what the Brits are made off Raptor !!
Righto!
This game features Ghurkas? Holy sheeeeeeet!
IKR, it's hella detailed
Sino-Soviet relations broke down in the 50s and 60s, so the soviets wouldn't really get involved
really really really really hurts to hear you say fusiliers like that..
Shane Vassallo Paleologo I know I feel your pain

We already do have a 'wall".
Search up 'Frontier Closed Area.'
Its fun to watch because I live in Hong Kong and know the places and stuff and it seems my fate in is raptor's hands!
btw tsuen wan is pronounced with the 'S' silent
Oh, this will be really interesting for you then! Know any good places for an ATGM ambush?
+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 Boy do I have an answer for you, buddy..
So is the map actually correct? With the town and everything?
THe chinese lack air power, which makes your chopper group GOD!

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.

As someone from Hong Kong... only if this happened ..
*sob
I am ethnically british but live in HK and wishing that this happened XD
So sorry to have lost a part of our empire as valuable as Hong Kong, I never got to go and now I never will.

really love the commentary on these Raptor, makes it feel like I'm actually fighting China! Keep up the great work!
somebody notice that the map of the mission is unaccurate because hong kong was in the 80's heavily urbanised.
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.
wow raptor! Listen to your voice it's so different i like to call this classic raptor! 7 years congrats raptor! keep going! you have many many years i alweays enjoy your videos! Thank you!
Use your amphibious commandos to flank the chinese forces from the sea.
I love his subtle American patriotism. Btw I'm South African but I love how he said red white and verticle blue😂
LOL the Red, White, and Vertical Blue.
04:06 what a rebel wearing his beret with the cap badge 3 inches left of the left eye. Still love the rifles though!
Margaret Thatcher was a terrible domestic Prime Minister, but you have to admit that as a wartime PM, she was fantastic.
ThejollyFrenchman like Winston Churchill
GR is General Role, F is Fighter, FR I think is Fighter Recconisence, and B is Bomber
Ah the good old days of TH-cam, where people didn’t get triggered by everything
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...
Why to extend the lease why we just don't give them the islands? shit Hong Kong was better in our hands...
I think it was one of those "saving face" like issues. Who knows? politics is weird,.
+Gogol ginn Funny how this takes place in 1984, 13 years before the expiration of the treaty. Guess Xi didn't want to wait any longer.
1984. That magical year lol.
Shoulda rushed em from the beginning. One territory could be overwhelmed in seconds. Blitzkrieg!
This is fine, I just don't want my house to be destroyed. Thanks!
You live in Hong Kong??
You triggered me with “Scotch guard”. :) thanks for uploading. Challenging game.
Yay Australia
Aaaaah!!! Kaiju Margaret Thatcher is rampaging in Hong Kong!
This series predicted the future lmao, just a bit later
I think “Q-5ll” should be “Q-5 2”, instead of“Q-5 11”.
I know this is a few years later but. Tornados are Air 2 Ground attackers. Not fighters.
When I first played this campaign the ai spawned every t55 it could right where I had thin defense then my second time they spawned like two with a shit ton of infantry. The AI in this game is hard to pin down on start.
Q-5II should be pronunced as Q-5 second or Q-52，meaning IT is the second improvement of the aircraft
Commonwealth flag is called the Union Jack
The Union Jack isn't the Commonwealth flag.
I want to see Britain kick ass
That is why I love raptor because he kicks ass in this game lol
Raptor kick communist out of Hong Kong
i used harriers for this with the australian F4 Phantoms its sooo much lolz to see harriers with rockets just rocketting tanks to death
hey raptor i know its 2018 but i started watching your vids and i love them
Gotta exploit those harriers basically nothing the Chinese have is invulnerable to them. Thier numbers and thier rapid reload make them indispensable.
Always Max out your air support
Beautiful Harriers!
So what is then ending if you take the whole map?
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.
pretty sure its just an AI difficulty change when it comes to difficulty.
The only campaign i won with a total victory, chinese troops only holding one sector.
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.

Hopefully my outnumbered units in that sector can hold them off long enough).
Yayy! New Campaign :D
Well at least he said lantau and kowloon right
Why is auto evac Winchester on? Just turn it off and micro so your planes aren't wasted
When playing this it goes to fast for me to proses what is going on
Margaret Thatcher's unflinching determination to renege on Britain's international agreements, more like it
The agreement was the lease of New Territories, nothing else.
I love these vids. Wish i could get a pc for this game.
Go get them man
the uk flag is not vertical blue blue is the background there is a red cross and a white x with some red in it
Well looks like Hongkong is lost now
wasn't the Philippine the "Pearl of the Orient Seas?" or is just the missions name? planning on buying this game though.
just the mission I think :)
After the Sino-British Joint Declaration (1984), a pop singer from Taiwan wrote a song about Hong Kong, calling Hong Kong “Pearl of the Orient”. The song was played on the Hong Kong handover ceremony and became popular.
Scots, not scotch! :P
ok so right at the beginning you see his friend list and one of them is Rarity so I give you this /)
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?
Just tried this campaign and got stomped.
Since when was Chek Lap Kok airport built before 1990?
Since the Japanese invaded Hong Kong in the 1940s and made the POWs build one.
Brian LO But they didn't build the island and the airport did they? Like it would be literally impossible at that time.
Kenttheclark Nope , but there is one , a diddly crap one .
Brian LO but not chek lap kok. but in the game it was on the map.
How on earth do you move the stupid soldiers
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 :)
TheSaturdayTechChannel WithMusicAndGaming That the one of the most boot comments I've ever heard. Skill in a game doesn't carryover to real life.
