Command Live - EPISODE 8: COMMONWEALTH COLLISION - New Release

And yup, these Live episodes keep coming better and better every time.

The video above is the showcase that the guys at WarfareSims/Matrix/Slitherine have masterfully put together. The edition of that video is just awesome. Please see below some screenshots and commentary about this DLC.

Walk and Shoot - Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

Some twenty one years ago, then Colonel David Petraeus co-authored an article entitled "Walk and Shoot Training" (Infantry Magazine, Jan-Feb 1997, page 36). In this article, an emphasis was made in the recklessness of the "headlong rush to close with and destroy the enemy" without a plan for indirect fires to support movement and developing the situation.

Steel Beasts ProPE - OBJ Buratino - A Depleted Russian T-72 Company (Sorta) Supporting an Infantry Attack.

I don't know if you are watching these Steel Beasts videos that I am putting up. There are two already and the one below is the second. As a commander of a company, it was my duty to soften the ENY forces at OBJ Buratino.

In restrospect, the whole affair took way too long. But I have learned to be weary about infantry in wooded areas.

Cheers,

Steel Beasts ProPE - OBJ Leninade - A Russian T-72 Company in the Attack.

In my recent video ... Wait a second, you didn't see my video? Shame on you! :)

DCS 2.5 Black Shark - Requiem for the Old Times

I am missing the good old times when the original Black Shark was released. I miss the completeness of the Black Shark simulator upon release.

Arma 3 Tanks DLC - First Blood

The much awaited DLC finally made it to the playing list of the dwellers of the Arma 3 virtual world.

The enemy: two T-140 Angara tanks.

Command The Silent Service - Delta Force 2017 Mission - How Russian Submarine Crews Spell Transit

Command is an spectacular simulation from the technical point of view, but the enormous content value added by the WarfareSims' team the deserves a mention.

Republican Bayonets on the Rhine - A Short Preview/Introduction

Another Napoleonic game from John Tiller has been released this week. Please join me in this video and commentary.

Steel Beasts ProPE - Keeping up with the IFVs

I have been struggling to create a computer-controlled force in which the dismounted infantry would coordinate their movement with their IFVs.

Desert War 1940-1942 - The Ram Stands at Bir el Gubi

In my preview of the upcoming war game Desert War 1940-1942, I introduced you to its basic design and interface. The scenario itself is quite enjoyable and I felt like it deserved some closure. This blog post is the AAR of the battle from where I left it at the video.
