    Great video. I also like that unusual scenario of the Syrians Army against the Uncons. This is some fresh breath of air.

    Just a single tank lost with some BMPs, great playthrough. Picking the right hand path was a good choice, I can't imagine the nightmare if someone dared to pick the "normal" route.

    Ah yes Murphy’s Bogging
    it’s brutal in long Campaigns where an immobilized vehicle means that your Stryker squad is gonna be without wheels (and the very important Javelin) for the entire operation 😢
    its a bit annoying that Immobilized can basically mean Destroyed in campaigns and there’s a chance it can’t be recovered

    I feel like you bite more than you can chew, you want to advance while clobbering every pair of lovers in the bushes. Ok but you could also just use leapfrogging offensive smoke on bmp and simplify whole maneuver. Uncons cant go chasing you with your t72 turms thermals seeing through smoke.

  • @wgrundmeier
    @wgrundmeier หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The timer seems like the biggest obstacle, forcing you to risk so many vehicles without infantry spotting. Some kind of campaign map for tracking timetables and letting players decide how fast missions go with benefits/penalties would be interesting.

  • @RisingChaosWriting

    An excellent aggressive operation from you, possibly could have been faster but when has anyone ever been perfect? You balanced speed and caution well and had a solid plan, and it paid off. Aggression really can reduce casualties sometimes

    Top tip - when referring to mortars, they’re known as barrels as opposed to tubes 😅.
    Great video though as always 👍

    • @usuallyhapless9481
      @usuallyhapless9481  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I'd have thought artillery gets barrels and mortars gets tubes because one is rifled and the other (generally) isn't

      @GoreTexTillEndEx หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      @@usuallyhapless9481 I can certainly see why, as you’re correct - mortars are not rifled but artillery is known as guns mate, so for example a unit can have guns and mortars on-call 👍.
      [edit] We are called ‘tubes’ as like a wind-up by other branches, particularly the anti-tank lads as they know it’s wrong but say it to trigger us.

    I'm only at the 10min mark so this may resolve itself.
    While I agree with "going right", how do you clear the route - owning 3, 4 and 5 is no good to the truck destroyed at "1'? Do the supply trucks actually appear and need to successfully transit or is the "trucks arrive in 30mins" a rationale for setting scenario length?
    Perhaps go right and then send a force back down the route from the unexpected approach to remove whatever is sited to shoot at the road?
    16:00: How does a UAV/UAS identify a VBIED? I mean its just a vehicle with an explosive device inside and should be pretty much identical, externally, to any other red sedan?

      I guess my concern is while you have gained points its still mission failure because Route Lightning is not secure.
      I guess this is the downside of "points based objectives" where the player goes for the points as opposed to what's in the orders.

      @@whya2ndaccount well based on the post-game map i don't think it would take more then 30 minutes to secure the rought, not that it's going to particularly help that first convoy.

    • @usuallyhapless9481
      @usuallyhapless9481  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Outside of a CM context, I don't think it's a stretch for the convoy to use the route I used to get up the map after I send a tank back to bulldoze the wrecked BMPs off the road. Assuming the uncons hang around under threat of envelopment, my force and the convoy escort should be able to suppress them enough for the convoy to do its thing.
