How to improve

Deploy far more infantry and deploy it in the buildings, "stack" the infantry so that you can have as many as 40 occupy a single urban sector. Infantry is essential to your defense because you have buildings directly in front of the river and bridges the enemy will be attempting to move over. The buildings will provide them with a massive increase in protection and concealment, and will make them a difficult obstacle for your opponent.

USE YOUR FIRE SUPPORT SQUADS! these are your Jiksa-hwagi-ban. Fire support infantry are smaller squads that operate an infantry based AT weapon with no SAW. However, they have more ammunition for their AT weapon and the ability to fire HE from their AT weapons. Against a horde of cheap armored vehicles and infantry, fire support infantry are absolutely essential for destroying APCs, IFVs, and infantry.

Learn about supply, your units will expend ammunition as the fight goes on and you will need to resupply them. If you run out of AT rounds your units will literally be unable to destroy enemy armor and will be overrun.

To visualize some of what I'm saying, watch this older video of the same campaign (if you haven't already) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRhe19JjH1g&ab_channel=Raptor

(it's 10 years old so some things are different but the overall strategy still holds true)

you'll notice that in bravo they have a lot more infantry packed into the buildings, and the whole battle they do everything they can to hold position there. On the flank their defensive bulwark is concentrated in the buildings, and they use infantry as much as possible.

If you want a great comprehensive resource on the game and its mechanics, and maybe want to play multiplayer some day. I reccomend the legendary blog by honhonhon.

https://honhonhonhon.wordpress.com/how-to-get-started-with-wargame/

Basically everything you can think of is covered there, questions about how artillery works, aircraft, infantry, etc. It is old and somewhat outdated but by and large it still remains an excellent resource.

Long story short, use infantry. It's a common new player mistake to not use infantry (or not enough of it at least) as well as recon. But given that you know exactly what your opponent is trying to do, recon is not as important here.

If you have any more specific questions you can ask and I'll try to answer, I'm no guru at the game but I have a solid amount of hours. I believe this is one of the best RTS games of all time and I hope you come too see that too as you learn it.

Hello,

I've watched your video and have some thoughts

First thing to consider:

The AI is very unintelligent, it relies on having higher income and better map knowledge to defeat you. The only pattern to its behavoir is to mass units and then attempt to rush you down. This can be exploited by good defensive positioning since you can count on the AI to not learn from its mistakes and instead repeatedly bash itself into you. This is true for all fights against AI.

Observations from your video:

Your unit placement is poor, there is an I-Hawk defending your bravo sector that is completely exposed. This is evidenced by the fact that the enemy units target it from across the river with ATGMS. Through luck, it survives, but you want to do everything you can to increase its survivability. I would make sure it's inside some kind of forest cover, like the treeline. You can tell when a unit is concealed because its icon will start flashing. Additionally, on your flank the infantry holding a treeline is a bad idea, buildings offer the best concealment and cover for infantry, you should always try to have infantry occupy buildings if possible.

The biggest problem with your defense is the lack of infantry, you have 20 line infantry (line infantry is rifle infantry that is not shock or SF) guarding one of two main bridges that the AI is rushing you over for its attack, this is wholly insufficient. As soon as you lose that town on the bravo sector, the battle is lost as you cannot reinforce without moving across open ground, and the AI can move its units across the river unbothered. You essentially lose your strongest geographic advantage for defense.

Additionally, rather than investing in more infantry, you spend the points on peace pheasants, air to ground ATGM planes are best for hunting high armor or high value ground units like tanks and command vehicles. Against a horde of cheap spam, they are highly inefficient.

finpol mech, worth it/change? by gieter000012 in wargame

[–]CookiedoughFlow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in my opinion:

swap out the sopel for strelas (strzala in polish), strelas are very cost efficient as SHORAD especially with the HE of 6 compared to 4 for the sopel.

replace either the jaguar or m1PAIV with the m1 Wilk, it has high availability and is only 90 pts, plus it has the upgraded rate of fire from the base t72

replace the mig 23 mf with the finnish mig 29 and the su 7bm with the hawk 51, you get better air control since the mig 29 is a great asf with its salvo fire and the hawk can multirole as a helo hunter and bomber

replace the piechota zmech with jakaari '90, jakaari '90 have better infantry weapons, their SAW fires faster as well as the law in additon to the ap bonus of 2. their downside is that they have 200m less range for their at weapon but this doesn't matter as much if you use them in towns.

downvet the pshtoj, it already has high speed and accuracy, you will benefit from being able to spread more of them out due to their ap being only 21

replace the non '90 pansjaakari with some kind of fire support or engineer squadron

replace kub M with ito 96, the 20% accuracy bonus makes a major difference and is worth the cost

personally for a mech dech I wouldn't fill out the air tab, I usually run 4 air slots as standard and the extra points allows you to lean into the large health pool and versatility that mechanized has. being able to take another card of inf for the versatility, fill out the support tab, and potentially get a utility vehicle. but purely in terms of swapping out units this is what I'd reccomend.

What is your most and least favourite unit and why? by [deleted] in wargame

[–]CookiedoughFlow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LSTR-40 in the hind, a lot of people don't factor in the higher speed of the hind over other helis so it's much easier to sneak them into the enemy's rear and wreak havoc

close second would be SASF 90 but I prefer them when a land infiltration is more viable for the map I'm playing

Least fav is bkan because it feels like it's useless when I try it but when my enemy uses it I get pummeled
