The Terrible Secret of Myanmar Defense Revealed
Happy New Year, Baloogan Campaign readers. As a New Years resolution, I vowed to post about the “making of” some of my favorite Command creations. Or, in this case, my least favorite Command creation. Now, I like bad things. I like reading bad things, like the the niche cult mess of the NFL SuperPro. I’ve […]
Regaining Lua Skill
I love using Lua in Command. I wrote a post on how to use Lua. Then I started struggling. Thanks to a variety of issues and reasons, I hadn’t done major scenario scripting in a while. So, now that I’m returning to it, it’s the same feeling one gets when doing something again that you […]
The Oddly Versatile Nation-Egypt
So, I’m doing some of my usual Command scenario editor fooling around, looking at orders of battle, and I see a country that somehow fits the bill for many kinds of Command scenarios without too many forced contrivances. This was confirmed by me playing the community scenario The King’s Hand, which actually features the country in question […]
The Unintentional Nightmare Scenario
One ambitious scenario set for Command is Gunner98’s Northern Fury (no relation to Northern Inferno) WWIII series.

While its Soviet Union is ahistorically belligerent, it’s also –vital for gameplay– powerful as well. No bear-shaped pop-up targets-here […]
Command Fiction Announcement
At my personal blog, I’ve started a new project. Every Wednesday, I aim to post a fictional vignette based on the aftermath of a Command scenario. So far they’ve been based on my own scenarios, although that may change. They may be viewed here. The two posted so far have been (with base scenario): –Democratic […]
Platforms That Never Were: A-6F
The A-6F Intruder II was a proposed upgrade of the long-serving attack aircraft that would have added more advanced engines, a more capable radar, and air to air missile capability. Although initially approved, it was cancelled in favor of the ill-fated A-12 Avenger, which in turn collapsed. Previous posts in the “platforms that never were” […]
The 1965 Cutoff
So, in my innumerable Command editor forays and bits of research for the waves of scenarios I never expect to actually make in full, I’ve found one year where I view the most interesting, novel alternate history scenarios as no longer being possible. 1965. It’s a pretty sudden cutoff. I think the two big reasons […]
