I think the Marine Corps has the right idea running 13-man squads, leave plenty of Manpower for the assaulting element and support elements while leaving enough to establish a security element and the squad leader focus on leading rather than having to fight and Lead at the same time. When I was in the army our nine-man squads just seemed a little too small and squad leader always seemed overworked

You can recall the transport vehicle and call in supplies but the layout is kinda hard to be familiar with, i suffered heavy losses when i first played this game

Man this really seems like your kind of game. Would love to see more of this when you can. I love it when you go into the broader strokes of battlefield strategy. Door kickers is nice and neat but sometimes it's cool to see how several units would work together.

Game is published by Slitherine, Developed by Steel Balalaika who were iirc a bunch of dudes who played Wargame: Red Dragon and its previous iterations.

Looks like a more modern World In Conflict with more sensible AI behaviors. Should make for a good singleplayer game, whereas Wargame and WARNO are competitive multiplayer games.

Pairs Should make A CQB Tutorial Series for us CQB Nerds.

the fort is the same fort from the map Port Novo in squad btw. when multiple games get the details right is just looks cool when you can compare to each other.

Use the LVSR in the SUP category or either the Super Stallion or Ospreys to bring in supplies. Click the unit then you can have them transport infantry and/or supplies from the spawn and unload wherever. The supplies drop a radius that will reinforce infantry, repair vehicles and replenish ammo for all units until you run out from that load of supplies. This is good for setting up fallback positions so you don't leave weak units on the front to die needlessly.

I was just looking at this game yesterday, stoked to see you play it. Looks so damn good.

i've watched so many other playthroughs of this game. but from the first 5 mins I knew yours was different. The best one I've watched by a LOOOOOONG way! New sub.

Awesome play through, would love to see more of this from you. Keep it up man.

Reminds me of World in Conflict. But better.

thanks for the new recommendation! putting this one on the watchlist and downloading the demo now

Really excited for this game. Can't wait for full release

Good effort, Pairs! Hearing the female voice of the CH-53 pilot reminded me of Foehammer from Halo: CE. Echo-419 should definitely be a call sign.

Lol dude, I thought I was the only one. Honestly I love how they didn't make the demo easy on us haha.

More of this! What a gameplay

This was awesome man!

Game looks dope , hope to see it on the channel when it releases

Ooo, didn't expect to be here the moment it drops, let's go

wow what a game! looks really good

looks like new ''world in conflict'' in flesh to me

Love ya Pairs, this reminds me of how I play tacticals in Wargame... But you're giving the AI way too much credit 🤣

Lol omg the Marine chatter is so cheesy. It's like something a boot just out of ITB would say 😆

Pairs is chomping at the bit to play with rangers lol. U know it felt weird for him using Marines instead of Army units

Playing this demo made me want to have a co-op just to have somebody play as CO and the other as XO. Coordination of forces and Sustainment is so freaking important in this game. It's hard to play as both roles. I always seem to lose my IFVs and APCs when I drop back to manage sustainment. Supply takes getting used to. It is different enough from wargame that it ends up being unintuitive. Vehicles must unload supplies in order for units to use it. You also have to deploy them with supply, you can't just call in the roll-up truck, it'll show up bone dry if you don't fill it with supply. This allows you to build supply points while having vehicles do supply runs. It is annoying that units cannot just take supplies directly from the trucks, even if it makes sense in the case of the roll-up. The cool thing is airlifting supplies works pretty well in this regard. Unfortunately the recon task force lacks amphibious or air assault-able logistics vehicles. Makes sustainment crossing the canal pretty problematic. Units end up having to pull off the line instead of just having the truck drop off their resupply right behind their building. That or your helos are doing death-runs with speedballs of ammo to the poor guys stuck defending the apartments. In my playthrough of the mission I took the initial marines and deployed them to the left side in the apartments. I figured I'd need the majority of my combat power there to clear the heavily urbanized areas. I deployed dragon teams to the center structures with the Force Recon cats and ordered in more mortars when I had the points too. Pushed through the first block of apartments and paused for sustainment. Pre-assault bombardment from 3 LAV-Ms gave them cover and acted as pre-assault bombardment. Note: You can queue up several linear fire missions in a row. Drop 2 on the objective, a 3rd with smoke, 4th and subsequent end up being a walking barrage to the rear to disrupt reinforcement or counterattack. Once the smoke drops I know fires are shifting and the assault can begin movement. While sustainment was happening on the left, I called up 2 more recon teams in LAVs and started leap frogging through the residential district on the right. Next stage got pretty hairy. In the next block of apartments we ran into heavy enemy resistance from mutually supporting infantry elements, BRDMs and T-72s. Infantry must have support or will die horribly. I withdrew the mangled infantry squads, using the buildings as cover and mortars covering the retreat. I had the dragon teams leap frog up through the apartments on the left until they were supporting the marine squads. I ordered fires on the known enemy positions and pushed up with dragon support. Enemy vehicles ended up dying horribly to the dragons and I called up the AAVs to assist in dislodging the infantry. Note: Attack move seemed very useful here. Even suppressed infantry seem to be able to engage vehicles with AT very effectively. M2s and MK19s outrange RPG-7s though. Best to keep your light armor out of range. The center apartments and remaining houses on the right went rather smoothly with the tank company destroyed. Fixed the enemy with direct fires, reduced them with indirect, and destroyed them with marines in close combat. The marine counterattack ended up being very, very ineffective. Linear fire missions down the two high speed avenues of approach quickly reduced their combat power and their attack floundered. The recon marines on the right ended up taking little to no contact and were free to maneuver on the enemy counterattack. So I gave the order and the dismounts and LAVs ended up making an L shape and further reduced the enemy from range before assaulting through. Ended up losing a an LAV and two AAVs to a BDRM with Konkurs on the beach protecting the last two IADS launchers. Ended up shelling it with the 81mms until it died. The commander ended up yelling at me twice before I captured the starfort. I organized a big resupply with the Super Stallion. Called up the remaining marine squads and landed forces on the far left and right of the star fort. I had expected the star fort the be heavily defended so I opted to encircle it before assaulting. One LAV-M was on star fort suppression duty with alternating smoke and HE missions. The other two were tasked with supporting the left or right pushed. Lost a Viper and a Osprey to AA vehicles on the far right side. The right side pincer then went vehicle hunting. Left side sweep encountered isolated infantry squads, but there isn't much putting up a fight against a platoon of marines with AAV support. Once encircled and AA vehicles destroyed, I sent 4 squads of marines up the fort behind a creeping barrage just to find it abandoned except for one remaining gun. Then the enemy airborne counter attack happened. Which like... I would consider it a ballsy move jumping onto a beach LZ covered by a platoon of marines, but that's what happened. So the left side counterattack died as soon as it hit the ground, but the right side must have been reinforcing by ground as well. I think I counted something like a dozen BMDs destroyed... I lost the apartments mostly due to lack of resupply. The VDV counterattack did not skimp on MANPADs and I lost an Osprey attempting resupply. The right side ended up retrograding significantly, only being bolstered by a platoon of LAVs in the forest to the upper right of the star fort.

I know you have connections so I was wondering if you know anything about DK2 future? Also great Video, All love keep it up!

This game looks amazing you should play this more

Well tbh the Marine Corp running 13 man squads varies on unit. My platoon was the smallest so we ran 9 man squads two fire teams and SL. Split those teams with machine gunners and the actual GPMGs

tried to play similar games like this and stuff like men of war or company of heros pretty challenging Im used to casual strategy games like halo wars

This is the only guy ive seen loss this mission, WILD Good fight though you took a different aproch that was interesting to watch.

This looks dope

Is this basically world in conflict but revamped?

kind of looks and works like a reboot of "World in conflict"

It's a very fun game. Has a lot of promise. Especially considering that there will be full mod support, and they'll have a mission/map editor. Definitely a learning curve, and a very hard game to be good at. The hotkeys come in handy

30:42 lmao

2:45: Vauban’s the guy who came up with it.

poggers in the valentino white bag??

Fun fact a broken arrow incident is when the U.S. losses a nuclear weapon or has a accidental nuclear detonation over friendly soil.

BASICALLY what your saying is level the city (forget causalities) then send in men XD

I played a game like this it is called firefight it is on mobile I don’t know about phones but it is on iPads

will this run on windows 11?

Is this gonna release to Xbox as well

Tragic this is in Unity. visuals are brutal.. hope the gameplay and mod support makes up for it

What seperates this game from games like Wargame Red Dragon? Or Warno? I know its a demo, but it feels like it will always have less content, because both aforementioned games are still being developed.

Did you pick this up on your own or did they ask and/or pay to have this shown in your channel, or ...?

What do the shaws do?

What about warno?

I couldnt beat it either

Live! Freakin Live! - General Controlled Pairs

it's just wargame in disguise

This game reminds me of RUSE

World in Conflict had more destructable terrain than this :/

So its basically a modern Company of Heroes?

Resupply your units. Thats all.

Makes me thing of the Ukraine conflict....

Pretty dumb clickbait title... Theres a bunch of good new RTS.
