I pulled the trigger. I imagine I'll be posting a dangerous assortment of inane questions here shortly, so consider yourselves all warned. Seriously, run for the hills. Now.

Welcome aboard!

Be sure to update to, at the very least v1.02 (through the autorun launcher) and preferably also B490 (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3542375) to maximize your game's value.

Messaging feature added to Joint Command. Anyone can message any battle at any time; I foresee this being especially useful setting up games!

Comrades!

As I'm sure you are all aware, there has been a greatly heightened degree of security at Northern Fleet Headquarters these past several weeks, a condition imposed by the General Staff in anticipation of an important, top-secret mission. The nature of that mission can now be revealed.

For the past several months, our finest strategic thinkers, military planners and war colleges have been working out the various possible outcomes of a war between the Soviet Union and NATO --  a war that seems to be more imminent than ever as tensions between East and West increase by the day.

Your mission: simulate encounters between NATO and Soviet air and naval assets to refine your skills; which will be needed in the coming days.

This week the People's Stream will introduce every late cold war scenario released by the Command Community! The stream will be at 11:00 AM PST; on the 22nd of February.

Red Episodes – Stop that Convoy, 1989
Red Episodes – SOS SOSUS, 1989
Red Episodes – Boomer to Sea, 1989
Red Episodes – No Sandbox No Joy, 1989
First Contact, 1986
Duelists, 1989
The Four Horsemen, 1987
Top Gun, 1986
Sideshow in the South China Sea, 1985

Glory to the Revolution!

Commies....

But it's always fun to run with some of the late Soviet hardware.  Especially when it comes to naval and air units.   :D

On Saturday, March 8th I'll be presenting a simulation of the situation in Ukraine using Command version 1.03. With me, will be Dimitris Dranidis and Michael Mykytyn of Warfare Sims.

Version 1.03 Changelog

Preliminary Ukrainian Crisis order of battle: Flashpoint: Ukraine 2014

[Baloogan]

Ukraine 2014 and Command 1.03 stream is currently up!

I've whipped up a simple scenario of a possible strike on Crimea by EUCOM and the HW Bush. The objective of the scenario is to destroy the 11th Anti-Submarine Brigade, a S-400 and a Bastion Bn on Crimea.

Please give it a try and tell me what you think! Its my first 'real' scenario. It has AI for the Russians, triggers, events, scoring and a briefing!

Baloogan you are always as closes to the world news as it gets  8)

so how about a missing / search for Flight MH370 scenario?  ;)

well, more like an analysis tool: which (military) ground based radar would have seen what  ...and what sonar could  hear a black-box active pinger with transmission power of 160.5dB re 1µPa @ 1m at an acoustic frequency of 37.5kHz  from according ocean bottom depths (wrack-location is placed randomly )  :)

where there  E-2C Hawkeye in the area belonging to a carrier-group? what could they have seen that is not communicated officially cause diplomatic sensitivities between all the nations involved and operating vessels in the AO ...and talking about radar raw data logged could hurt OPSEC and unintended would demonstrate sensor capabilities

Downloaded it (although I had to go to like 5 links to get there)
I will give it a shot tomorrow night. I love these user made campaigns. These are what should have come with the game. Giving credit where it's due however, the devs intentionally made the game so that people could easily create scenarios.
