Wargame: Red Dragon

Wargame: Red Dragon

Is Campaign Busted or am I Just Bad?
I've been smashing my head against the "Busan Pocket" and "Bear Against Dragon" campaigns for a while now. Things usually start out well and I inflict some pretty big casualties against the enemy. As time goes on however, they seem to have an unending tide of progressively more and more powerful units. I'm finding my tanks are completely outmatched by theirs, and only being allowed a set number of SPAAs is crippling. I can usually capture/hold the first objective (Busan or Vladivostok) but making it to the second before the turn limit is nigh impossible. Side note, the Russian navy seems way to powerful in "Bear Against Dragon", any tips on how to play navy?

This is my first time playing the Wargame franchise so I'm entirely open to the possibility that I'm just not very good at the game. That said, I find I've gotten pretty good at defeating a force with similar point score but I'm still getting overwhelmed in the end. So I guess the question is, are these campaigns really that unfair, or does Wargame just have a steep learning curve. If it's the latter, would any veteran players mind offering some tips?

Read guides.
The Busan campaign is usually won either by cheesing or heavy use of the limited airforce you get as South Korea, I. e. your rocket pod planes and bombers.
North Korean AA in the South is pretty trash for most of that campaign.

I was able to finish some of those campaigns... when the game first came out. Now, the game is SO multi-player based that they've destroyed any real balance the campaign had. As the one guy said, cheating is the only option. Unless someone can provide a youtube video dated december 2019.

In Busan Bear vs. Dragon, you need to make full use of the cheap ATGM transports that come with your infantry--basically the only way to counter superior Russian tank forces until you capture Vladivostok and deploy the North Korean battlegroups.

Edit: My reply was for BvD, not Busan. Oops!
