Baloogan Campaign

This week’s live stream will be focusing on the Cold War Database and 1950s strategic nuclear combat! We are going to go toe-to-toe with the rooskies!

Please join us this Saturday, 5:00PM PDT and help us explore WWIII in the 1950s!

I will be playing the newest beta Build 454!

Thanks everyone for tuning in! Great stream tonight, lots of interesting chat topics!

I’ll be uploading the stream to YouTube.

Episode 7

• Part 1 Custom Overlay Tutorial 
  Welcome back to Baloogan Campaign! Episode 7 focuses on creating and importing custom overlays for Command as well as what a Carrier Battle Group in 2025 might look like!
• Part 2 The Airbase in Britian
  I work on Custom Overlays for RAF Fairford! I overlay an overlay on top of an overlay, it gets confusing from here on in!
• Part 3 Operation Lightning Strike
  I return to Operation Lightning Strike and discuss creating a custom overlay for Bin Laden’s compound.
• Part 4 The Chase
  Air battles continue! A P-3 Orion is chased out to sea; a pair of F-22 Raptors are tasked to clear the P-3’s six. They supercruise and fire BVR!
• Part 5 Raptors to the Rescue
  My F-22 Raptors reach the P-3 Orion and fire AMRAAM BVR down the axis of the detected bogey!
• Part 6 Capt. James Kirk of the Zumwalt
  I start a new scenario with a 2025 USN CVBG vs Brazil Land Based Air. James Kirk commanding the DDG-1000 Zumwalt!
• Part 7 Brazil Air Defense
  I compose the Brazilian land based air defense. I guess as to who Brazil would buy aircraft and weapons from. I decided on French aircraft and Russian SAM.
• Part 8 Magazine vs Mount vs Magazine
  I look at the difference between Weapons and Mounts and Magazines; as well as bring in custom overlays for the Brazilian airbases.
• Part 9 Exocet Counterstrike
  I prepare the Brazilian Air Force to respond to any detected surface contact with a Exocet Strike.
• Part 10 Brazilian BARCAP
  I set up Brazil’s defenses; they will respond automatically to any air contacts or surface contacts. Air contacts will get all the currently airborne aircraft to converge on the contact and surface contacts will make the Exocet armed aircraft to sortie.
• Part 11 Phased Array
  I take a look at all the cool sensors in a Modern American Carrier Battlegroup! Including Phased Array radars that can be electronically steered!
• Part 12 Convergence Zones
  I discuss physical oceanography as it pertains to modern naval combat!
• Part 13 ICBMs, Espionage, and TOGO!
  I spawn Minot AFB complete with a good chunk of our Nuclear Deterrent! I also create overlays for a random airbase in Africa and discuss how Command might be breaking the law!
• Part 14 Land Combat and the Ballistic Missiles!
  I spawn a small land combat simulation, a company of T-72s vs a platoon of Abrams! Also I track a ballistic missile as it flies into Canada!
• Part 15 The AMRAAM Datalink
  I fire AMRAAMs from my F-35s at the hostile bogies! I discuss datalinks and how they are modeled in Command.
• Part 16 Tactical Tomahawks!
  I end off Episode 7 with a Tomahawk strike on Brazilian ammo bunker installations! And the difference between the Blk III and Blk IV Tomahawk. Hint: The Blk IV Tactical Tomahawk is worth the extra $$$ :).

 

All uploaded!

 

The stream is at the usual time on Saturday! (new viewers: check the time on the right!)

I’m going to be covering the Custom Overlay feature of Command! Plus I have a Database Image Auto updating program I’d like to release! Currently it allows you to pick and choose from the images from the pack provided by Warfare Sims!

 

I’ll see you there!

Thanks for watching!!

Cheers everyone! As always I’ll be uploading everything to YouTube.

Topic: Scenario Editor Tutorial!

I will focus on the Scenario Editor; essentially doing a tutorial for the editor. I’m going to be taking questions from the chat as well as creating a few simple scenarios, playable from either side.

Covering the scenario editor means I will be making some outlandish scenarios; going for Scenario Editor examples rather than historical accuracy.

After the Scenario Editor Tutorial I will be continuing where I left off in Operation Lightning Strike from Episode 3 (the battle for Pakistan!) Sorry didn’t get to it during the stream! Someone wanted something nuked and I got distracted!

Chat, as always, open to everyone!

Thanks for tuning in!

This comming Saturday (5pm PDT Oct 12th) I will have a special guest on the show: Mike Mykytyn!!!! I’ll be asking him questions about Command, WarfareSims and about the future of computer wargaming and modern naval combat!

Also if you want to ask questions about the game you are more than welcome to join the chat to ask questions!

Mike “mikmyk” Mykytyn.

If you have used the Editor=>Import/Export Units feature in Command then you might have blown up some of Mike’s content! I know I have!

Command’s ability to create a ready made scenario via the Import/Export units feature is absolutely one of my favorite features! If I want to invade Syrian airspace to blow up Assad I turn to the huge amount of Syrian units in Command’s import system, it lends credibility to sandbox scenarios… If I’m blowing up real SA-5 positions in the real Syria it makes the game seem so much more immediate!

I like the import feature so much that the background of my website at http://baloogancampaign.com is entirely from the CentFront import files! You can make that huge scenario in about 20 clicks and a few minutes in game!

Please join us LIVE on Saturday (5pm PDT Oct 12th)!
