Campaign Series Middle East - Videos

[Jason Petho]

We went over the latest and greatest news with the North Koreans and I showed off a bit of the latest goodies from Petri in regards to the future of Lua. Then we dove back into the final legs of the city fighting south of Rafah while I attempted to break out to the west and try to secure a victory by utilizing the exit objective I had completely neglected until the end of the scenario. Definitely some good lessons in city fighting and paying attention to the map! This is using the 2.40 BETA for Middle East.

Utilizing the 2.40 BETA UPDATE that we intend to release in January for Middle East, we started up a Duel in the Golan scenario called "Bridges". It isn't scripted, but since I am on the attack, it shouldn't make too much of a difference. That being said we are heavily engaged against Syrian commandos that are well supported. Missiles were flying taking out some of our M113's, but it looks like we're making good progress, even though we are suffering some nasty casualties from the overly efficient Syrians.

A quick review of all the Order of Battle work I've been doing lately, plus some explanations about potential things to consider, especially as it comes to tactical nukes and chemical weapons. Decisions indeed, so feel free to chime in. Then we polished off the Duel in the Golan scenario, Bridges. It's an interesting night fight with random assaults and combat around the many crossings towards to the Golan front. The Syrian Commandos are a thorn in my backside for you!

We went over the latest news with the Campaign Series projects and then dove into a Tournament scenario to see what kind of senseless violence could be achieved. It started off slow, but as I'm playing the Egyptians in the scenario, running into modern Israeli's had my poor APC's burning around the map. The aggressive Merkava I's are tough, really tough to take out. It's been a hell of a start with lots of action throughout the area. I'm grateful for some TOW's though, they are a game changer!

We went over the latest and greatest news on the Order of Battle front for the new UPDATES and new game and then dove back into The Villages, tournament scenario C01. It's turned into a slug fest against tanks and artillery with a peppering of infantry. Lots of great discussions as we continued to try to push the Israeli's out of the front line positions so I could advance to my objectives. Well, that was going well until another tank battalion of Sho't Kal's showed up to ruin my day!

We jumped right into the fight today. So much violence. There was tank battles around the map and I have a new hatred for M150 TOW vehicles that the Israeli's have in the rear. The Sho't Kal's are also a pain, especially as they broke beyond my frontal positions and running amuck in my rear. It's a nasty fight, but a good one.

I went over the latest and greatest goodies in the works for the Campaign Series Vietnam and Middle East Updates expected in January as well as showed off some new vehicles for the Cold War game. After that we dove into the final handful of turns of the Tournament scenario. What a wild ride the final turns were indeed. Lots of senseless violence and assaults. Some went well, some did not. I still hate the Israeli TOW's.

Well this session was more successful than last and things I wanted to show you last time worked! I showed off some of the North Koreans and we playtested Humbling of the Tank with a new Lua file created with the latest tool that Petri has created. We dove in to see how the Engine AI handles artillery and I'm happy to say it's much better than it was before! Otherwise, it was an interesting little fight.
