The Hired Goons Campaign
One of the most inventive uses of Command to tell an unconventional story is Yooper’s “Hired Goons” interactive Let’s Play. Inspired by the old game Strike Commander , it involves thread participants voting on everything from procurement (which as of this post is the main topic of the thread as the team replenishes its losses) […]
The Longest Battle Experiment
Sometimes, Command scen builders like to experiment. No stranger to pushing the limits, Gunner98 tried an extremely-long, Lua-filled epic called “Northern Fury 12.6-The Longest Battle“. It was trying out the game in a new way. Not in the sense of pushing the limits of conventional difficulty per se-this was not the wargaming equivalent of the […]

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 […]
