Seeing A Unit You’ve Used
It’s an interesting feeling to see a unit one has used or seen in Command in real-life news. For instance, upon seeing a report about the upgrading of the Akula-class submarine Vepr, I went “Wait a second, was that a sub I used in a scenario?” And after rechecking my LIVE scenario Kuril Sunrise, I […]
Kuril Sunrise is out
My newest Command LIVE scenario, Kuril Sunrise, is out. It can be bought on Matrix or Steam.
OPFOR Volume 3: A Blockbuster

Cold War Battleships – Platforms That Never Were
As the USSR began its forced-industrialization in the 1930s, warships were on the list. Stalin’s plans included a grand fleet of battleships. Command makes this historical footnote playable, and thus a look at the navy is worth it. By the time of the revolution Russia’s navy was a shambles, wrecked in World War I and […]
