1000 lb bombs will also kill infantry in buildings. Walls can't protect you from that overpressure.

I have AirLand Battle, but not Red Dragon.  I kept seeing folks say that AirLand Battle is better than Red Dragon, which made me hesitant to buy Red Dragon.

Maybe if it goes on sale, I'll pick it up.  Probably not going to spend $40 for it, though.

I'm sure it'll go on sale again, but it was just on sale at deep discount a few weeks ago. I picked up all three games for $15.

I do wonder whether it's worth picking up all three. I remember having a real hard time with the first one in SP (never even thought of trying MP).

I think the dynamic campaigns were the things that made me try Red Dragon more? Not that I play them anymore :/

Sometimes less is more, y'know? Like deciding which game to play can be hard enough that you don't play any of them, or play one and then give up 'cause maybe the other ones are better and then you never end up installing the other ones.

If anyone feels like giving AirLand Battle a try, I'll be around my computer a lot over the next couple of days.

On that note, I have been playing a game or two of WG:RD a night, but kinda lost the will to ask everyone around everytime and organise playtimes with B12ers. But I'd love to play with you if I'd ever find you there!

Why don't you just add us on Steam and contact us there if you want to play?

I dislike being online on Steam because reasons. Still, being the one to initiate every time got a bit old. I dislike responsibilities - already too much of that in real life :P

Umm... How else are we supposed to get in touch with you? You're not on the discord chat either. The only way is to spam this forum.

*shrug* I did that for a while. Maybe I can just try to be on Discord any time I might be up for a game?

They're releasing a DLC including 2 RedFor nations, Yugoslavia and Finland, some pretty cool units. Hopefully this will make it so team games aren't always stacked.

Yugoslavia
Finland

Haha, "Wargame games not stacked" haha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Finland looks great though. I really like how they have tech from both sides of the spectrum.

Finland, at last. I can put together a version of my actual real life unit, pretty much (AA, if you were wondering). Pity the modern Western units we wield today aren't there - T-72s AND Leopard 2s, anyone?
