hello guys and welcome to a new Warner video today by me Vulcan in this one we’re finally jumping into Army General it’s here finally and uh I’m going to be playing the first of many campaigns this one is BR the date is 20th of June 1989 the time of day is Day One Plus 8 hours location bad hafeld West J War pac’s breakthrough offensive aimed at Frankfurt and Maine risks leaving its flanks exposed the national V army fourth motet shuten division’s mission is to protect the northern shoulder of the attack the East Germans plan to seize bad herfeld and the crossroads at alsfeld and set up a covering Force this would slow or even block the inevitable NATO Counterattack headed by the West German fifth Panza division the fight for the flank becomes a deadly contest pitting the armies of a divided Germany against one another we’ll of course go into this on hard difficulty and let’s Jump On In on the NATO [Music] [Music] side June 20th 1989 Germany the Strategic Warsaw packs offensive across the inner German border has taken NATO largely by surprise facing NATO’s sag the Soviet e guard’s Army begins its multi-pronged attack at 5:00 the objective is Frankfurt am main home to the fifth Corp a key military Target and transport Hub at the frontier the 11th armored Cavalry Regiment with a few isolated battalions put up Fierce resistance for hours overwhelming Firepower ultimately results in a Soviet breakthrough at Fula the armored Vanguard surges to Frankfurt further north the flank of the main invasion is assigned to the East German forth motorer shs in division they Advance on bad herfeld the national vs Army aims to press further and seize asfeld establishing a covering Force this would protect the Warsaw Pack’s axis of attack against any counter strikes from the bundes fifth Panzer Division NATO has an early chance to disrupt the Soviet thrust on Frankfurt Warsaw packs capture of asfeld becomes Paramount a series of pitched battles await we have been informed that the East German fourth mutsen division is advancing on Bard herfeld they intend to seize alfeld this would put them in an excellent position to block our Counterattack on the Soviet offensive it is Paramount that the fifth Panza division reaches alfeld before the NVA major Becka have you been in contact with the Americans yes sir the 311th ACR is in bad herfeld they likely cannot hold for more than a few hours the Americans might fall back already to alsfeld joining our territorial troops there NATO forces in our sector are limited and reinforcements will take time to deploy panag Grenadier Battalion 152 can join up from Schwarz andorn immediately and will be joined later today by panag Grenadier Battalion 142 the rest of Panza Brigade 14 as well as Panza Grenadier Brigade 13 won’t arrive until tomorrow at the earliest until then we fight with what we have we have to hold our positions he doesn’t sound very enthusiastic but we’ll see what we can do as the warsa pack is coming our way and there is the 11th ACR ready to defend bad hersfeld so this is the first of yeah many campaigns we’re going to be seeing in warno and it’s probably I would say the most basic of them uh the other ones are going to be a lot more complex this one kind of introducing the player to the campaigns and we have the objective basically to hold bad herzfeld here and also alfeld further back if we can hold this for a long time we can get to our score much quicker but as you can see they have technically already taken it so it’s going to be giving them five points per turn towards their 60 points in order to win that’s up the top right here and so we’re going to want to try and take that back from them as soon as possible but we are under attack already the 11th armored is going to be under attack and it’s time to engage we can bring in air support if we would like there is one air unit available in the form of these chaps the f4fs I don’t think we’re necessarily going to need them in this case we’ve got six Fighters there’s going to be two bombers and eight planes it’s likely that we’re just going to investing all of our four points per minute into Abrams because I believe Abrams Do cost Four Points in the campaign so yeah it’s going to be difficult as we are almost solely reliant on these Ground Forces hopefully they don’t have many aircraft to bring in we’ll have to wait and see let’s go and tactical battle this and we’ll jump on in when we have more regiments and battalions available to back us up uh then I’ll look into those screens that we just passed more but for now now since we only have one to use there’s not really much to see there but we are up against five enemy battalions and one air unit okay so how are we going to do this well this map the obvious defensive positions are these tree lines this tree Line’s actually pretty good because we can defend this point and this point at the same time if we put everything kind of like across this tree line but then again having some units here might allow us to push or kill stuff in the center they could also come down either side that is something that the AI might do we’ll have to keep an eye on it for sure all right first of all multiple ABS let’s just get all the ABS in lovely we will bring in some Recon for those I don’t know if I actually want to go for Bradley or if I just go for aavs stop we will need a leader as well so I think what I’m going to do we could also go for Scouts get a couple Scouts up maybe a scout in here would be a good idea cuz that would Scout the middle of the map pretty much for the entire game maybe have a scout on the right hand side here as well don’t want to have it too far up just in case we put them in here cuz our Recon is actually in kind of short supply yeah then we do one M57 CPC and maybe I can get a Recon unit that can sit on the edge of this mountain could be a good idea pop him up here and then that gets loads of line of sight cool sounds good all right we’ll give it the unload position order like here that should give us some good line of sight eny so unload that where it is basically unload that where it is these can roll up to here these can roll up to here good all right let’s uh launch the battle your and we’ll make sure to sell off those Humvees uh this one I’m probably just going to unload and sell immediately and we’ll have that chat run over here okay we have four points left actually so let’s start bringing in uh like M1 A1 a CS to join us I’m actually going to do that from the first unit The Troop HQ initially your’ll them and then we’ll them just pressing tab to select the units and then I can spread them out nice and easy I would like to get this into the left side here as well but we haven’t seen any enemy units yet and it is kind of making me nervous don’t know where they’re going to be coming in I hear you loud and clear C I’m just going to try and line up all of these tanks so that they can engage at max range onto this road but not at long range by enemy H GMS need to do the same here make sure these are front facing lovely so just a quick tip unit scaling is really handy in this situation when you can kind of see the unit a little bit bigger on the map keep facing the enemy it does make things a little bit wonky sometimes when you zoom down it makes things kind of unrealistically big but uh it is very very helpful for keeping an eye on the uh direction of your units and you can see there the lovely sort of curve we got going on just annihilated that t55 but on the left here that’s a lot of units I might have to swing across here there’s nothing on the right at the moment oh spoke too soon good I think actually we come back to here put that on return fire so it doesn’t reveal itself and then uh yeah we just oh no why are they getting spotted uh probably the brm that’s not good that’s really not good that was providing us so much Recon information but the exceptional Optics on the brm uh spotted all of that stuff so got he kind of got ruined um not get closer do not get closer we need to fall back artillery also coming in on the right hand side here we do not want to be close we want to be as far away as possible engaging these at maximum range because that way we really really utilize our armor a lot better yes and we’re going to just be doing actions with all of these Abrams as we go the other thing that I need to bear in in the warno campaign that’s not good uh suppliers free is what I was getting at suppliers free so we can bring up our emets and we can use them to fix us up as we play which is going to be really important really really important the enemy there’s a bit of a attack shoot on the left side at the moment but we are slowly taking damage so we do need to keep an eye on it I’m actually going to whoa what is that big strike drop your Smoke boys pull these over drop your smoke get back there’s a lot of Rocket artillery we do not want to be driving into that we need to get our guys back together here keep that one hidden put it on return fire for the time being Ry we can move the a back up yeah these need to fix keep Abrams on the way keep Abrams on the way eyes Sir it’s hard here if they get crits I’m going to be so annoyed I’m going to have to move these up at your stay out of the flames got Search and Destroy uh can that smoke I don’t think it can it’s okay stop that pull these back more tank to the right hand side please this Tank’s still vulnerable let’s move these up to help them out I need to make sure that gets back so far I would say so good because we have managed to these back and get them fixed up somewhat but uh yeah this is very sketchy there are so many units we have to kill I need to get abrs in thick and fast like as soon as possible good right we’re going to swap these out find them these can go back repair uh these just got to fall back there’s no point in letting the bmps fire at us cuz we’re going to have H gems coming in from pretty much every side hopefully we beat the conquest here I’ve got good yes sir need to cover off our flank these can still move that direction we’ve still got two coming in here so at your just be careful my good position is kind of lost which is the bad part here but we are reflecting good losses still the artillery is Relentless enem are no no no no no no no no no no no no no no let’s turn that in time uh smoke and get the hell out of there as we keep killing stuff and keep building up more of our own it’s going to be good for us we start to create definitely somewhat of an overwhelming Abrams Force successful hit just got to watch The Conquest points on the right hand side here cuz we’re currently bleeding plus one in order to rectify that I need to take Bravo least contest Bravo I think that would actually give me yeah that would take the plus two away from them so we’d be on plus one I did take that instructions successful hit take ready okay sir this is two enemy spotted yes Captain back up back up I need to get my other Supply in here anybody need ammo successful hit go back yes sir successful hit we just got to keep cycling out one of the ABS as when they move up and eventually we should be able to make some ground back it’s good gun oh that’s not good okay we kind of forc to move fors here this one might die don’t think it has smoke it does this one is dead uh what I can do oh I was going to say I could flick the smoke from the M1 a1’s up in front but we lost a couple of ABS there that artillery is ruthless it really is oh that one’s bailed out no okay let’s move up the uh the M11 hit here maybe I can get that fixed up maybe I very much doubt it because the the artillery is constant what I can do we can shift this M1 A1 up smoke should cover the M1 A1 back there for the time being hit side shot’s coming in the enemy SP good job gun what are your orders sir right let’s move these up so we can start shooting those hopefully I can get the hemp close enough to fix the bail out at least up look at all this Smoke on the left it makes it so difficult to see what’s going on we got AG G slipping through that left side Roger Search and Destroy it’s hard here at your all right nice we did fix it enough oh side shots though oh and another bailout unbelievable not having any luck there right I might that’s going to get S shot and die isn’t it oh no it wasn’t even a at that one okay oh no I’m messing this up a little bit we can’t lose this many Abrams it’s not good it’s really not good they’re putting the hempton harms away as well is a bad idea let’s just try and shift up some tanks here that can help deal with the bmps oh maybe we can save it but the the bmps are getting side shots in as well I’ve got him it’s gone no hero save from the supply at least the scouts are still providing decent Recon information for my tanks espe on this right side very very helpful I’m hunting for oh wow that’s a lot of units there yeah okay we shouldn’t overextend in the middle I really shouldn’t be overextending in the middle this is just a death sentence cuz I’m getting s shot all the time by these at GMS what I do need to do is just get a leader into the corner of here with a bunch of tanks at the moment though I’m going to have to be careful because the t-55s are coming in hot there your but things have potentially caled down for a little bit maybe this one’s run out of Supply do have more Supply in the form of the M35 so we can bring those in uh let’s just smoke that off for a second and we’ll try and have all of these engage at the same range at the same time bit worried about the ones up close because they’re ones that can actually be penned them and kill them good job gun it upful are your that is being hit by artillery but it’s not doing too much damage so I’m not going to worry for now I got him tank ready ammo SP do have I need to make sure these at gems don’t absolutely wreck me really quickly this is really tough a lot of their tanks must be dead now surely instuction and we can look to try and get a leader do I have a tank leader I should have a tank leader somewhere surely yeah sucessful here we can put it in that sector yes and my good actually really need to be careful though that’s not good like the after has the potential to do a serious amount of damage we’ll them and then we’ll kill them let not push them too far forwards on their own don’t get greedy good job Gunner yes Captain e Cy cing the tanks out wonderful all right we’ll get one more M31 your still so many tanks coming in on this left side oh no not again P back uh these ones and just what we need to do is smoke the one in front uh where are you going you’re dead you are just dead Supply gone this artillery is actually constant this is incredible how do I even deal with this killed another one the trouble is they get hit and their cohesion goes down and then they keep getting hit and yeah they die very quickly indeed wow that’s a lot of losses back what are your orders okay well onwards men this needs fallback these two both need a fallback these three can Mo forwards yes sir shift up on the left now at your take the kills there out of am good getting to close is a bit of a worry but watch our more T Place yeah that was close what are your orders sir can’t take more than a couple shots of this this range otherwise we’re in trouble damn that was close watch our fls even with my movement constant movement in fact I’m still not able toop these artillary strikes I guess we are somewhat choked in the POS positions that we can move and so it is somewhat difficult for us to stay out of that rocket fire but I think so far you know it’s not as bad as it maybe looks we have lost quite a lot of ABS but we we’ve killed so much stuff like look at all of these t-55s here it’s crazy how much stuff we’ve killed this one is very dead if I’m not careful oh that one got bailed okay we need to get a few of these trucks up here we use them all upal us there any more Supply we got three more bring all of those in no real reason not to the yes Captain right the all right uh let’s just get in here with the M1 A1 and maybe we can coun to cap this say that it looks like are we going to we’re kind of forcing them back we recovered the M11 a c that’s good these can fall back not through the artillery all right uh that is an at gun fire control reset on my tank I got to be careful of at guns now as well we’ve legitimately run out of supply uh that can go all of these can go back this is like pretty much the only one that I have left sucessful hit we did lose one of the supply Vehicles there which is not good I have to play this really carefully I amen out of all these back maybe we just go for the morale Victory got to kill 127 points worth of units in order to get the morale Victory I hear you loud we’ll find them and then we’ll kill them we’re going to have to use basically everything that we have at our disposal even if it hasn’t got much health left here we go again I think those Will Survive we got routed it’s just going to die in there this one maybe survives that one might die as well you loud and clear move but watch our fles it’s hot here okay potential fuel problems so something now I have to think about as well oh no joking me on the side shot J no way smoke that one smoke that one get out of there these forwards into cover we haven’t really been using cover as well as maybe we could have oh now we got planes as well okay all right I knew that the planes were in here but kind of forgot about them we saw the planes earlier at the start those tanks have done a good job now we just got to try and hold down the middle but let’s just pull back here this can go back not through the not through the fire just get more Abrams in please 94 kills left to getu we might be able to just go kill that kosa that would be handy yes sir there so many very damaged tanks I’m going to create almost a second line with the damaged ones we’ll shift forwards the others good kill the we dodged that artillery strike somewhat I’m going to have to use these ones that are on low healthwise I won’t have enough to hold the front line this one’s only got four ammo left it’s uh not good there’s a lot of stuff in the center here that we can potentially take care of and then that’s a lot of points worth of units we got 25 minutes to kill 88 at the rate we’ve been playing we might be able to make it work but uh yeah we’re basically out Supply there’s no more repairing like the units that we do have are going to have to play incredibly carefully and I should probably bring up more Recon for me speed driver sir guess the nice thing in this situation is a lot of these units are pretty easy kills for abs so they don’t need Health necessarily uh this Supply is coming over to actually give that aam’s ammo if these migs actually Target ones that are low enough they will get kills that’s a bit of a worry the max range t55 is only do one Health damage to our M1 a1s so I can be pretty Lal with how I use these good job G nice that was actually a lot of kills worth there on the Infantry good keep the pressure up in the middle there’s a lot of stuff for us to kill here your successful hit six it up I don’t think the transports count I think only the stuff that they unload that’s something I have to be wary of but I guess I might as well just kill one of the transports as well radi let the ones with health go first as we start to push on them there right with any luck we can Slaughter one of these units got Bradley up in front not really my first choice okay let’s not let these damaged ones get too far up because an 180 gem could just finish them off good job gun hunting for yes sir successful hit War air strikes are definitely sketchy that does have ammo left been fixed up a little bit but all of these Supply Vehicles can be sold and we can replace them are with rever I’ve just decided that I’m going to push this in here because we don’t want to let them get too far ahead on the points there’s a good chance that I could just swing things if I manag to kill a leader or two especially when they start to get a little bit lighter on units which it seems like they have at the moment uh I actually have a fresh ABS here but there’s no reason for it to be in that position the other thing we could do is maybe get pads but I think just having more ABS is a good idea uh yeah we need to leave instu otherwise I’m going to lose my leader tank which would be pretty tragic yes Captain good job gun will be so he’s going to have to set this one out and we’ll have to bring in other units let’s go ahead and bring in an m577 might also be worth bringing in some smoke like a mortar so I can keep it in there let’s bring in a mortar and a Bradley enemy Spott I hear you loud and clear good job gun it up they’ve only got 48 morale left going to kill 47 more points worth of units now and then we win still a lot of tanks on that left side they would actually be good targets for us are your my biggest problem is always going to be the the the sheer amount of a gems it’s just making things so difficult so almost always being Sid shot by them this ised two enemy Spott what are your orders sir am ni out of fuel good gun well this like moving forwards and backwards is just making them run out of fuel not good eny SP how many low Health ABS we got left this is just absolutely nuts what a battle this has been an incredible start to this one campaign I’m actually not entirely sure how the difficulty modifiers work in warno but because we’re playing on hard they might get more availability and such because of that I don’t have any Supply to fix that bail out so yeah we’re basically uh just chilling with that Abrams and hope that it doesn’t get Ed which it already is the AI knows the AI knows it’s time to smoke off boys and get the hell out of here did I just smoke everything I did well done okay well that’s a waste a big waste ABS is gone no surprise okay how many healthy Abrams do I have left really not many I want to try and get this m577 into the left hand side here easier said than done my Mor is being counter battered already yes sir successful 17 minutes to win by morale Victory I think it’s time to bring in more Bradley’s Bradley’s in this situation pretty good for us because they can kill the Infantry nice and quick and they can spot the Infantry for us out the open that’s not suicide that M11 I guess the bad thing about focusing down all these mtbs is that they waste ammo basically not something I ever thought I would have to think about that’s not ideal oh no if they rocket the that’s not good yeah if they rocket the Bradley’s they can actually get kills so kind of have to be careful with that seven more kills to go let me win let’s just go for it let’s just go for it push forwards guys finish him off finish him off kill them all he’s focusing the m577 with the rocket strike no AI what are you doing stop that’s it I think we did it yep Victory look how many Abrams they have that are low Health that was wild 346 kills that’s points worth of kills we lost 43 points worth of kills it’s like one Scout I think we lost a Bradley and then all of the rest of those probably aams we can have a look in the second but H let’s see what the outcome was the battle ended because the attackers morale broke it dropped from 346 to Z due to the number of units destroyed our forces get a total victory since our loss ratio is less than 80% therefore our forces stay in place our forces earn one fatigue Point enemy forces earn five fatigue points let’s have a look how the Abrams did yeah I mean to be expected each of them deserving a medle 100% oh man poly if those boys medals that was incredible most of our losses were actually in fact due to artillery the nap arm strikes those bm21 nap arms are disgus in they are so difficult to deal with uh because as I mentioned before as soon as a tank gets hit the cohesion loss causes them to go slower and then they just panic and die it’s really really rough really really rough good old Holmes takes the most kills our kill ratio was 18.5 to1 all right well there we go uh let’s exit out of that and see how that affects the campaign so we lost four action points I think a lot of these units they’ve used up their action points General the 3 11th just came through the Americans are at serious risk of being encircled and it is now our turn Okay cool so the 11th arm of Cavalry survived uh the best thing for us to do is probably fall back CU otherwise they’re just going to keep surrounding us here we do have the panag grander de Battalion coming up to help us out which would be really nice because it does give us access to lots of infantry that we can use to take hard points uh also the gards are welcome especially against one of these aircraft uh we do have pads but the trouble with pads is they only work in like on mass and I could have brought in all three that we have the problem with that is like I just needed the extra points for tanks like the entire battle because I ran out of all my Supply I couldn’t fix anything anymore so the only way I was going to get like fresh troops was by actually just bringing in more yeah that was that was something that was certainly something uh ftig is only one out of six I mean there is a chance for us to make another attack here maybe like taking out the AR color Battalion up at the front here I mean these guys don’t look very strong and I don’t think anything will be able to reinforce them that could be an easy battle to take on and then we can shift out the panag grand Battalion the only thing is I do kind of want to want to meet up with these forces these already in two turns so they can sort of shift up the left hand side here anyway if we sort of moved back down here and had these catch up to them that would be pretty good I think and if we want to like play out in the open that’s fine because we want to utilize our tanks if we go here then we’re going to end up on like a like a forest map so we don’t want to do that think we bring this here and move them there we shift like this and we bring those up like this and then they’ll kind of secure this but then we can start to beat them back afterwards and and these guys are going to become available soon we do have reinforcements up here as well we don’t have anything available at the moment but on turn nine we get the 13th panagen Brigade coming in which is going to give us multiple battalions including a Panza Battalion uh which has plenty of leopard 25s which actually be pretty good against the t-55s but the t-55 am2 I do have max range guns as in they can fire 2,275 M which is you know like the same as our ABS right but when it comes down to our ABS they don’t really do any damage because we have 18 front armor and so they actually have to get closer before they can pen cuz they only have 14 penetration or 15 penetration I think it is yeah 14 penetration uh whereas with the leopards what we got to worry about is these guys only have nine front armor so the t-55s will be able to damage them from a distance uh anyway unfortunately guys it has been my time uh I’m really really excited to continue to show this off to you guys so I will have another episode out soon that is going to be it for now hopefully you guys have enjoyed it thank you very much for watching and I’ll see you guys in the next one goodbye
