A Classic Command Scenario-Solomon Islands Incursion
One classic Command scenario which I’ve replayed from time to time is the community pack’s Solomon Islands Incursion. In it, Papua New Guinea sends its small navy out to conduct a raid in the titular archipelago. Several things about it appealed to me. The first was its effective simulation of a low-end force. The main […]
Ready… or not? On the availability of units.
Ready or not? When creating a new scenario one of the challenges is to decide not only which units should be included but also how many of them will actually be able to fight.

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. Set in the early 1990s against a continued USSR, it’s a furious (no pun intended) wave of ferocious action. While its Soviet Union is ahistorically belligerent, it’s also –vital for gameplay– powerful as well. No bear-shaped pop-up targets-here […]
