World War 3 (Part 1): Russia Invades the Baltics - The Countdown to Armageddon Begins

This is a full-length "movie" of Season 1 of Flat Circle History's "The Next World War" series. August 3rd, 2032. Russia launches a surprise attack on the Baltics, kicking off a third world war that will begin in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, but soon spread from the arctic to the UK, to the heart of America. This documentary-style series takes you into battle from the eyes of the warfighters, to the strategic decision-makers, providing a terrifying and plausible look at a hypothetical Third World War scenario. Coming in Part 2: the war will turn to the Indo-Pacific as China eyes Taiwan.

But as episode 4 turned to 8…11, 14… it became more clear to me that I should give it a try and see if it worked. Would it flow? Would people sit through the whole thing? Would they care? You all will surely let me know. But before I started to create the full-length movie, first I had to address multiple issues and errors from the individual episodes that needed fixing. Some were small (a poorly chosen word here-and-there), some were large (the HMS… being a big one, or the incorrect use of a Lithuanian name). Many were brought to me by you, the viewers. Also, some of the early graphics and edits just bugged me and I felt needed changing. Did I get them all? Could I get them all? Nope. Some things (I’m pointing to you, UK sub commander), I couldn’t change because the tools/mods for the video simply are not available. But if it was remotely do-able… I did it. One thing you will see is that the content from episode 13 is not in here. That episode, presented in an entirely different voice and style, was meant to be a stand-alone. I jokingly call it my WW3 Christmas Special. Though the story does flow with the full-length timeline and very much supports the lead-up to the season finale’, I thought the style and voice change was too jarring for the viewer. Also, I think we all get it, even with the removal of episode 13, that Colonel Nagamov is a bad dude and we all (including me) wanted to see his end. Enough said. Lastly, I wanted to provide a sneak peak of what’s coming as the story turns to the Indo-Pacific. An unbelievable amount of time, research and interviewing has gone into planning the next season of the story. More on that to come. As always: pronunciations of places, names and translations are my best guess. Uniforms and equipment are not always exact as the gaming platforms I use are limited, as well as the mods available within them. I’m quite literally a one-man-show and work with what I have, in the time that I have, so I ask for a bit of grace if it’s not perfect. That said, I’m always happy to receive constructive criticism. This is all about making the story better. Thanks! This video was created in part using content of Bohemia Interactive a.s. Copyright © 2018 Bohemia Interactive a.s.
