Wargame: Red Dragon Campaign - Busan Pocket (1987) #1 

Btw do not ever trust auto resolve in this game ever.

Pls do all of them. Second Korean War campaign is sooooooooo good.

Omg dude this series is a lifesaver. I’m the kinda guy doesn’t get it till I get it, so I was desperate to watch someone else do this campaign cause I was struggling so hard TvT Seriously Tysm for making this eries

Thank you for making these videos. I wouldn't say I'm a great RTS player but I've played other RTS games and they weren't that hard, but for RD maaaaan was I struggling with the first campaign. I tried following some of your techniques and although the AI didn't play the same way as yours did, your videos still helped a lot.

The only thing that's bad about the RD campaigns is that you'll have to fight naval battles if you want to do well on some of them, otherwise they are excellent. At least as far as the AI's behavior will allow. General advice: RD keeps track of infantry and their transports separately, though you can only call in a complete unit of inf+transport. If you, say, lose a transport but not its squad the infantry will sit in 'reserve' until another infantry unit of the same kind dies, freeing up a transport to bring them into battle. Those F86s are probably the best CAS you can get in the Busan side of the map simply because they're cheap and reload ridiculously fast, allowing you to counter AI spam with your own spam, especially in sectors like Uichang, where the enemy never has AA better than a few MANPADS and inevitably runs out of things to spam other than tanks after the fist battle or two (and you can exploit your air call in point to bring them in right on top of the enemy). Not so much in Daegu, where there are Shilkas and such, though. And finally, Auto Resolve is pure shit. It is somehow possible to take losses in an auto resolve even when the only enemy units left are unable to engage the units you're sending to kill them (SAMs vs tanks) or are completely unarmed (logistics truck and CPs). I think it works by inflicting a portion, which may be modified by relative moral/cohesion/size, of each side's overall point cost on the other and then assigning those losses randomly across the battlegroup, but I confess to not being sure on this part.

FINALY! You took your time to play the red dragon campaign. As someone who has played this campaign several times I must say that Eugen improved a lot from the ALB campaign.So im looking forward to more!

Yes, do more campaigns, watching this is both fun and helpful for new players (eg me!)

I like your take on the campaign so far. Hoping this sort of thing continues.

I absolutely would love to watch you play through these campaigns.

Key to this campaign for me was to garrison the right towns, get my armor up enough to kill their AA, and then push their command zones with helicopters to kill arty/commanders. I also like placing all infantry in building zones pre game, then doing a mass unload at start

Nice Vulcan, I think a lot of people like this for a change. I enjoyed the campaign when I played it.

Vulcan-Yes please I love Red Dragon content thanks

Funny that the street protests used as a pretext for this scenario really happenned !

This looks so easy when you do it. I'm losing every battle. They said busan is easy

In wargame red dragon u do not lose the squad when u lose a transport. It is much better system than ALB

Just bought the game not knowing it had practically zero tutorial. Teaching myself how to play by doing this scenario and just doing the exact same things you do lol. Helps that the AI is still just as dirpy as when this video game out.

wow that's a surprise

Hmmm AI seems different here in 2021 than what I am seeing here (I deploy almost exactly the same yet AI pushes further, survives more, I ended up having to use K1's here which put them back a turn). Still though, learned a lot even if that's the case. Very helpful.

The Red Dragon campaigns may look pretty, but I think they're almost fundamentally broken. The WRD AI never managed to be a reasonable facsimile of a normal game and every tactical engagement has the AI bumrush you with everything they have, even if they're supposed to be on the defence.

YASSSSSSSSSS FINALLY I HAVE BEEN PUSHING FOR U TO DO THE CAMPAIGNS FOR SOOO LONG. HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEe!!!!!!!!!!!!!'☺👍

Don't you lose your infantry when you lose your transport? (Ps You are my favourite youtuber. Keep up the nice work😊)

dude, i'm deploying the exact same units as you in this same exact battle and none of my units engage the enemy - they just sit and get merked. what the f am i doing wrong?

thank you vulcan. please do keep em comming

let's see if I can finally finish Busan Pocket

Unlike SD AI the AI in this uses arty semi competenly instead of charging like its infantry.

Damn I had no idea about the transport death costing you the assigned infantry in the campaign. That explains what happened to my missing ATGMs /MANPAAD squads in the ALB campaigns I just finished. Am just about to start Red Dragon and watched this video to get an idea of the changes, glad I did. Cheers mate for that key bit of info.

Please, sir, give us moar.

I really would like to see you doing the more "offensive campaigns".

Oh my ! I wanted you to play the Red Dragon's campaigns so much !!!! I hope you will do them all :D

how the hell i did not know this game until now, it is so realistic to potray modern battle.

Thanks for this video man until part 3, those 3 parts of the vid helps me defend busan until i captured seoul and and I'm going to the nearby city of it. I just followed your set up and it works for me

I'd like to add my support for you to continue, plus the strategic theater is relevant right now. All RD needs is a few nukes!

I do the exact same you do and still lose

I remember I asked about this along time ago and you said that Shermanator did them so you won't! I'm glad to see this - will watch it this evening.

Yay love the campaign

Keep going with this series Vulcan!

The game mechanics are so totally different from SD44

It will get harder every campaign and more interesting tbh

This look cool man can't wait for the next one

Excellent content :)

nice playing dude you explain it nice and simple

I mean in single player u can speed up the game in SD too so there is not rlly an advantage there.

luv the campaign gameplay, would luv to see more

that was great ! please do more of these please thanks . ky

Another great video, also reminded me, I am not good at this game xD

How do you quickly select SINGLE units of a group for placement like you do????

The elite recon with the Carl Gustav are deadly to cheap tanks

Not gonna lie, almost won the campaign, and then the NK’s decided to bomber spam my CV and destroy all of my US forces in the North (TOTAL BS BTW)

huh I got bombed to the stone age ... maybe the enemy just REALLY hates me Or i thought i put them in buildings but i really just put cars outside buildings then rushed 1 of my recons straight to the buildings near enemy zone thinking "Lets get a view" and my arti right in the zone my infantry was then got mad when i told them to fire and they "Ran away" turns out they have a minimum range Who knew but i liked that loved that even When i tried Steel division 2 from a friend it just... It felt like i could cheese the enemy by literally just sending in tanks

Its fun to wreck loads of enemys!

How to re-add volumes without adding them from above?

damn, i didn't know some of this stuff was real.. i really don't know much about korea's history i guess.

awesome!

Why do you make this look easy, I get demolished by the AI

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="752">12:32</a> you do lose the squad. Or at least there's a very high chance (70-80% from experience).

Acabo de instalar el juego, me resulta completamente difícil entender que sucede y como lidiar con la artillería u.u

Wow Italian jeep in Korea unimaginable

awesome

For some reason I cannot move my troops to any other sector

yeessssss more of these pls

play it again 2021

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1174">19:34</a> That's three commanders the North Koreans have lost in the first 10 minutes. No wonder everyone looks down on them

this game is fucking hard

Are the episodes in wargame story reality (or semireality)?

It's really bad the player can't pick up a side :(

vulcan you shouldn't quad stack units it makes them very vunerable to bombing or arty

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="600">10:00</a>

hell yeah, more wargame! as usual there were some "oh sh!t dawg wtf are you doing" moments, but since you won your battles and it worked out in the end I guess your way was just as good ;) keep'em videos coming! IMO the only advantage SD has over WGRD is the LOS UI functionality, everything else is just boring or downright bad in direct comparison. Units are sloooow, AP mechanics are wonky, infantry feels impotent, the red/blue captured area mechanic makes scouting (note, thats not quite the same as recon) redundant, aircraft are practically magic spells, and even with the DLC unit variety is meh (and don't even get me started on the whole division idea). I don't think I've ever played a SD match or watched a replay that didn't make me think my time would've been better spent in WG.

U̶t̶i̶l̶i̶z̶e̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ a̶i̶r̶ a̶n̶d̶ n̶a̶v̶a̶l̶ s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶

why is my enemy ai sooooo fucking agressive like his comes in all steady like but mine comes in all at once and i get overun

Das ist light levels

save the korea plz

Can you play as best Korea?

And this is nice timely Empire Files video related to this campaign: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--xMm5tLDD7A.html

Yeongdeok is hands down one of the worst maps in the campaign. It forces you to spread out your tank forces that you start off with in the sector, and the tanks the AI comes in with are so numerable (and the Chonma Ho V are BS) its impossible to hold without major reinforcements
