The new reference in RTS at its best!

The Wargame series returns to duty, larger, richer and more spectacular than ever before. In Wargame Red Dragon, you are engaged in a large-scale conflict where Western forces clash against the Communist bloc.

1991: the two blocs confront each other in a new theater of war, Asia, joined by various other countries: Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.

You command the military resources of all 17 nations involved, assembling your fighting force from a phenomenal selection of 1,450 units that have been meticulously reproduced from their source! Command tanks, planes, helicopters, new warships and amphibious units in intense battles of unequaled tactical depth. Master the relief of varied, ultra realistic battlefields, dominate the new maritime areas and rewrite history in a conflict that has been directed and designed in stunning detail by development studio Eugen Systems.

Wargame Red Dragon is thrilling in single-player mode with its new dynamic campaign system, and also offers an extensive multiplayer mode where up to 20 players can compete against each other simultaneously.

"More ambitious than Wargame AirLand Battle, Wargame Red Dragon essentially retains the same game mechanics that made the series so successful," claims the press release sent out by publisher Focus Interactive, "but the action leaves Europe for the first time and shifts to a conflict in central Asia between 1975 and 1991, and adding loads of new features. 5 new nations, among which China and North Korea, join the armed forces in Wargame with over 450 new units."

Some of those new units will be naval and amphibian, which is a first for the strategy series. Red Dragon will offer players a full campaign mode, involving a tussle with North Korea, and a return of AirLand Battle's 20-person multiplayer.

Wargame: Red Dragon is due out later this year.

Sounds like it will be a bigger game that AirLand Battle was, dunno how it can be called a cash grab. Plus they support their games and don't charge for it, and they are usually cheap at launch. I think Airland was like $27 if you owned EE? Something like that.

I was disappointed with the SP in Airland though. I'll still buy this anyway

Yea well it looks pretty cool in that trailer.
I hope the SP campaign is much better than in ALB and has no damn time limit.

I also never really played any of the two games, because they seemed to a bit too complex lol wut
Those kind of graphics and large scale for a game like Command and Conquer So Much Win

“The dynamic campaign was reworked in order to give the players more intellectual challenges on the strategic level, and to better connect both the strategic and tactical level.
We felt that one of AirLand Battle’s shortcomings was that the player’s choices, on the strategic level, were restricted to moving its battlegroups up to the frontline. And once there, to fight to the death."


Looks like they understand what was wrong with the dynamic campaign last time, which is great news.
I liked that they went for a dynamic campaign.. seemed perfect for Wargame, but the way it was implemented was just way too shallow. Looking forward to an improved version!


and yeah they do release new versions relatively frequently but they are pretty cheap.
they are like expansions in terms of content, and they have the price of expansions, so it's no problem imo.
good for newcomers too if you don't need to buy previous games.

they give you a price reduction for new titles if you own previous ones.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Open Beta is live.

Game has a few balance issues just like the prior two at release, but it's generally a huge step up from airland just like airland was from the first.

Yes, in the prior game they only added planes, and in this one they only added ships; Each one of these are massive additions and change the flow of battle. And we get 20v20 battles now as well along with maps that are twice the size of air land.

I'm terrible at RTSs. My brain is simply unable to make quick strategic decisions. I always preferred to play laid back RTSs, like SupCom against a turtle AI. Razz

Having these massive-army versus massive-army in AB and now in RD is a godsent for RTS-morons like me. Less pressure on my personal involvement, while still contributing by taking potshots at the enemy. Very Happy

This beta currently doesn't include the naval aspect of the game. Or any singleplayer of any kind.

same here. I didn't buy Airland Battles because many people stated how one sided the AI was in the SP side. I hope they ease that in this one.

Why not? It was fun in the first one. Even a sandbox-type of skirmish game would be fun with the AI.

Well skirmish mode was fun in air land. They got the AI really smart in that.

But at the end of the day this is a game designed around multiplayer.

cash cow?
implementing a new metagame with airplanes, and now with ships it's a pure cash cow? considering that they release EVERY single fucking DLC for free? and even on that, they give you a 25% discount on preorder if you already own the previous game?
yeah, it's definitevely a cash cow, not like call of duty.

It should certainly not be considered a whole new game which Eugen Systems seem to think it is. It's merely a DLC; adding boats! If you had EE and AB I kinda wish you'd get a really nice kickback...

Each game has been $35 and the first two had two free DLC.

Considering the scope of the games the price is good.

they never said that; they said they need to put out a new game because of the limitation of the enitre engine not able to just get "patched out" to get airplanes out, same now with boats.
but ofc, it's a cash cow, not like starcraft 2 expansion with 10 more units and the same repetitive gameplay instead of this game with more than 500 new units, variants included and new type of metagaming, the boats&amphibious attacks. (no more bridge camping for example)
they give you free dlcs, discounts for previous owners and all these things, what else you want from them? their entire source code? Laughing
