When You’re Dealt An Impossible Hand
The cargo function released as part of Chains of War has given me an idea for a highly dubious air and helicopter assault scenario, one that I’ve nicknamed “Operation Superstore Garden”. This plan involves putting almost every air-qualified NATO soldier into almost every transport, and then unleashing them in a drop near the [East] German/Polish […]
The CentFront Challenge
The CentFront of West Germany has long been recognized as the pivotal theater of the World War III that never was. However, it’s surprisingly underused in Command. The “_____ Fury” scenarios by Gunner98 focus elsewhere, and while there are some good scens focusing there, most of the WWIII missions in the community pack take place […]
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. So the question is: Ready or not? The German “Bericht zur materiellen Einsatzbereitschaft der Hauptwaffensysteme der Bundeswehr” (Report for the readiness […]

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 […]
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. 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 […]
