Battle of Highway 3: Semper Fi, Syria Mission 5 is out for Patrons! (Patreon)

A bit of tricky one to make a video out of, not least because it involves distilling 110 minutes of gameplay into 18 minutes of video. And because the battle essentially boiled down to "Find bad guys, stomp bad guys." Tactically effective, not tremendously interesting.

That said, there are things I could have probably done better.

I did manage to crack this out in three days though- finished the battle off early Monday morning, then somehow churned out the back half of the script, recorded and had it cut by Monday evening, before filming and slotting in the first half of the footage on Tuesday and the second half on Wednesday. So, a bit faster than usual.

In theory, that's left me loads of time to kick out a quick video relating to the JL28 Staffex... but I hit a wall scripting it yesterday and it didn't seem to work. I'll keep poking it today and see if I get anywhere.

As a back-up plan, I could do a straight playthrough of a new Baltic Shield variation. Fight Club have been crunching numbers and it seems like the CV90s are Blue's big damage dealer in the campaign, so to confirm that and provide some complementary data, they've made a version of the first mission where the Estonian Scouts have been replaced by a British armoured infantry platoon in Boxers.

Giving that a playthrough- even a realtime playthrough because I never do anything in realtime- could be a quick way to generate some content and stoke up some interest. We'll see.

Either way, next week I'm still teeing up on covering the T62 for the upcoming unit guide. IIRC, I have some notes from last year covering the basics. There's only four models, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

He said, full of foolish optimism.
