A "documentary" video series about a hypothetical WW3

Been a while since I've posted in here (though still playing Aurora4x).

For those interested in something more near-future, I just created the first two episodes of a World War 3 series.

EP1: Invasion of the Baltics

EP2: Disaster Upon Disaster

I originally got my inspiration for the series from reading the book "The Third World War", written in 1978 by Sir John Hackett. As a child of the cold war, that book (and the non-fiction style it was written in) fascinated me.

Wanting to create my own story, I turned to games like ARMA, CMO and DCS as the tools to create this video series. With the events taking place in Russia and Ukraine today, my hypothetical 'what if' story is feeling more relevant by the moment. I am already hard at work on Episode 3.

Hope you enjoy them! Like this group did years ago when I wrote a scifi book and shared it here, your input is always welcome.

Zap0:
Wow, thats certainly some high-effort stuff. Eager to see how your story turns out.

the-isz:
Thanks! Just wrapping up the script for episode 3. High effort, but having fun.

Vastrat:
This is excellent work keep it up and can't wait to see how the unfolds.

Garfunkel:
I understand that it needs to happen to make the story happen, but it just stretches my suspension of disbelief that just few years after the disastrous Ukraine war, Russia could pose any sort of credible threat to NATO or that it could launch a surprise attack without Western intelligence services acquiring information about it happening. I mean, Russia did everything possible to hide their 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which was the main reason for some of their problems during the initial invasion, yet Washington knew about it well before the Russian frontline commanders did.

However, your technical and artistic prowess in putting this together is phenomenal and I'll definitely continue watching it! It just might have been better to start things off with China and then have Russia take advantage of the situation once Western capabilities are focused in Asia-Pacific.
