Recon said it held perhaps thirty enemy infantry. The only obstacle? A small village at a crossroads. I’d moved them carefully through a forest to the right, and now I had a dagger ready to hit their rear. Five M1A1 Abrams tanks with a smattering of air defence and recon vehicles were poised to smash into the enemy. It was all going so well five minutes ago. 1) Tank Charges With No InfantryĪ valiant armoured column plunges towards the enemy…
With the above in mind, here are the top five mistakes I made playing Wargame: AirLand Battle. The game is a system of systems, half of them branded with a hammer and sickle, all of them just itching to bite your hand off. Also, don’t be so daring with that rotary aviation unless you’ve successfully suppressed enemy air defences. Tanks will chew through infantry in open ground, but run screaming (well, they run, you scream) from attack helicopters. However, the fundamentals are rooted in fact.
#WARGAME RED DRAGON VS AIRLAND BATTLE SIMULATOR#
It is not a perfect simulator of brigade level operations, by any means orders can always be sent to units, with no time delay ranges are compressed.
You can play through several dynamic campaigns or create a match-up in skirmish mode.ĪirLand Battle stands apart from a lot of competitors by a commitment to well, not realism, but certainly a realistic veneer. The player is placed in command of a NATO or Warsaw Pact brigade with a limited number of units during World War Three and must close with and destroy the enemy. Who knew?įor those uninitiated in the perennial struggle against the computerised Red Menace (and, by god, it deserves those capital letters), Wargame: AirLand Battle is a real time tactics game from Eugen Systems. Turns out this whole ‘fighting a war’ business is pretty tricky. So, with the inordinate arrogance of youth (and mediocre talent), I thought Wargame: AirLand Battle (2013) would be a breeze. I’m also in my second year of a War Studies BA at King’s College London. I fancy myself as a bit of a defence pundit.
