My favorite campaign, love the "small elite detachment back against the sea holding swarm of approaching enemy" style. I played it through four times...One very risky tactic that worked for me once before: form two teams, one holding Tsuen Wan, one holding North District. The enemy will gather a large collection of forces and dive deep into Tsuen Wan to engage you. There is a chance that they will leave New Territories empty, send a company from your North District team to occupy it, cutting off their retreat path. Then all the forces in the Tsuen Wan pocket will be destroyed after/if you defeat them in one epic defense battle. I recall eliminated 7-8 battle groups all at once. Just my 2 cents : ) Looking forward to your future videos.
Definitely don't need to apologize for taking time to acclimatize yourself to the campaign and the units. I think people who enjoy watching Red Dragon campaigns really enjoy the strategic layer, and all the thought that has to go into that.
I LOVE the pace you go at in these. Your great knowledge of the game and willingness to slow down and assess what's going on makes it really entertaining for me, especially as I've never watched this game before your campaigns.
A cheesy thing that helps, is using helicopter units to land in a spot behind attacking units, but defeat the attacking units and with a total victory, wipes the units put regardless of casualties, then you can recall the helo units in a retreat.
Apparently the Brits lost the rest of that heavy tank battalion on their way back from the Falklands or the Chinese attack. That's just a command platoon it looks like
Before i even watch the whole video, make sure to keep your challengers alive, they're easily the most vital units in this campaign, if you lose them all you're in deep shit.
Actually the challengers are not that useful except to kill transports. If the PLA are going to deploy their ZTZ-88s, they'll deploy so many so quickly in such close terrain that your Challys will drown under the weight of fire. The really useful tanks are the Chieftain Mk.10s, when they are deployed in a long line, like in Yantian. ZTZ-88s can only be favourably fought from cities or with roving Lynxes.
Very interested in Red Dragon - appreciate you posting this campaign. Thanks for showing the play speed - I suspect initially I wold be on slow as I learn the units, tactics, etc.
In 2018 things must have been different. This, and your Busan campaign, don't quite match what I get in 2021, even when I am doing exactly what you are doing. For starters, in this battle, with the exact same setup, the AI spawns MUCH, MUCH closer to Echo and completely annihilates it almost instantly. Also, the Challengers don't have the same range.

The PRC is supporting the local version of Republican Party inciting bigotry, defamation, nepotism, anti-logic, anti-facts attitude, while the state (PRC) itself is kidnapping citizens in HK, secretly funding cronies & organisations, and have been running an immigration program for the last 10 years to move Chinese to HK, one which the local HK government have no say over, to a point 1/8th of our residents moved from China to HK within the last 10 years and doesn't share the same value we treasure dearly. Also with the lack of elections to select our Chief Executive (head of state), our administration answer to PRC. The government does not support the idea of democracy, have no respect for the rule of law, view bureaucracy as a mean to limit citizens participation instead of upholding procedural justice. The lack of citizens participation in politics lead to unbalance of power towards those with vested interests, sporting critical flaws and deficiency in policies that gave us: - 9th highest Gini coefficient (Food for thought, all 8 before us are in Africa, the next so-called first world country is China at 30th) - Horrible living quality (70th in the world), with lack of living space, parks, poor air quality, inflation and decaying infrastructure and stretch to limit public service - Least affordable housing in the world, 272 square foot unit will cost you US$960,512 (yes you read that right) - Wages stayed the same for the last 10 years, while labour rights literally do not exist. Long working hours are the norm, 70 hrs work week are quite common (we worked 2,606 hrs annually, 1000hrs more than Parisians and still 400 hrs more than the runner-up Mumbai, India), averaging 17 days of paid annual leave, a minimum wage that barely gets you a big mac meal, no overtime compensation required by law (hence the crazy hours), no maximum working hours, etc - Public, health service and essential infrastructure are lacking behind, while we spent money on white elephant infrastructure projects with a price tag large enough to purchase multiple LA class nuclear submarines, multiple Nimitz class nuclear aircraft carrier, Airlie Burke-class destroyers, along with all armaments of all calibres, fighter squadron, nuclear missiles. And we will still have money left for a space program to R&D and launch 2 Hubble space telescope. So you tell me...
Politics... USA was also against Brits attacking Falklands so it is totally reasonable to think USA does not help them at Taiwan unless they come begging for help...
Henri Hämäläinen Welp. Reagen and Thatcher were practically drinking buddies tho, you'd think we'd be running and skipping towards Britain's defense. Then again, why break tradition? - US is often fashionably late to any war worth fighting for 🤣
The campaign was tailored around the commonwealth deck, designed with a theme that excludes any U.S carrier groups. Keeping that in mind. Perhaps in another alternate history setting it would make sense.

I found it quite easy to destroy the whole chinese army by just flanking with helicopters then
(intro) And then the Iron Lady apoints vulcanhd to defend Hong Kong from total annihilation.

I'll second this. The strategic stuff is really quite interesting.
Its a shame we didn't get more campaigns with the dlcs. Like finish war 2 or Izraeli war
I LOVE the pace you go at in these. Your great knowledge of the game and willingness to slow down and assess what's going on makes it really entertaining for me, especially as I've never watched this game before your campaigns.
Thanks for the new campaign series, Vulcan
I'm really excited to see this series continue. Thanks for being awesome.
PATRIOTISM INTENSIFIES 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I hope even WARNO have a campaign like these, i LOVE these type of games and their campaigns
Same, I hope WARNO gets some campaigns too it would really help flesh out the game more

Reality is often disappointing. Britain should have kept HK.
He would make an amazing commander irl:
We could have some sas and pumas here I guess,
Oh well, if all goes to hell it doesn’t really matter...
Very interested in Red Dragon - appreciate you posting this campaign. Thanks for showing the play speed - I suspect initially I wold be on slow as I learn the units, tactics, etc.
It’s Chuen wan not suen wan
Nice to see this new campaign
lol. I play on very slow too. I always want to beat the AI and not lose so many precious units.

Well 2023 its also different now :)
Damn it I just saw Shermanators series on this.
I love your red dragon videos please do more , I can't wait ! thank you . Ky

I feel bad for the Chinese soldiers, they have to fight the Gurkhas.
HYPE!!!
All China needed to do was to shut off 5he water supply to Hong Kong. Ends with a war averted and the British humiliated.
Arent Chamsuri's South Korean? Are they there as allies?
Yay new campaign
I live in Hong Kong
I don't :)
How does it feel like to be part of the PRC (People's Republic of China)?
A lot of protesting by citizens

So you tell me...
I lived in Shenzhen...for a while
if only the UK sent military aid to hong kong now in modern day.
Too bad it doesn’t even have enough destroyers to escort its carriers
By 1982 doesn't the US operate a carrier task force near Taiwan? You should be able to call in the Tomcats

Remote Door W:RD campaigns are in fact alternate history, so why not? But the problem is that Americans will arrive when it will all end.
What do you mean Americans will arrive. Indeed why not?
RULE BRITANNIA!!!

A heavy tank battalion only has FOUR MBTs in it?????
A Tank battalion usually has four companies of tanks, each with 14 tanks. The tanks and units in game probably represent companies.
🕊🇮🇳🇳🇫❤💙🙏🙌
Disappointed to be able to play only with the bad side!
