DCS AH-64D Apache - Tactics Primer

Some 13 years ago, I started posting a tactics primer series for the Black Shark flight sim. This series relied heavily in Richard Sheffield's Gunship Academy. This book was originally intended as a sort of "strategy guide" for the wildly successful Gunship by MicroProse.



I'm starting today a redux/remix/repost of that series, now with the help of DCS's AH-64D Apache.

Build your Schwerpunkt, not Just Choose it - Panzer Campaigns Minsk '44

I was playing "The South Pincer at Vitebsk" scenario from Panzer Campaigns Minsk '44, and I suddenly came to the realization that I was not in the right grand-tactical mindset with my command of the Soviet 39th Army.

This scenario features two Soviet Armies pushing west to encircle Vitebsk. 23JUN1944.

Hell in the Wrong Place - A Combat Mission Cold War Micro Video

 I have posted at YouTube another video from my Combat Mission Cold War scenario.


Almost One Year After Release, "War Room" Can't Tap into its Full Potential

War Room is a game about the War in Afghanistan. As a commander of the US Army, you are in charge of patrolling, and securing a thousand square kilometers fictional territory inspired by the real life counterpart. You establish and supply bases, order missions of different types, and work on the safety of the civilian population.

The concept is great, the ambiance is tremendously well done and the difficulties of waging a war against non-conventional forces are delivered onto the player in a very modern format.

Have You Tried "The Troop"?

So many new great games out there that I really want to play ... This one was brought to my attention by the friends developing Burden of Command (Green Tree Games LLC). 


Combat Mission Cold War - No Man Left Behind

This is (yet) another vignette about the scenario I am playing in Combat Mission Cold War. For this vignette, I took a pause to medevac a trooper that was injured by enemy indirect fire on his way back to the friendly lines. Made me reflect on how much combat value IFVs have in the artillery-ravaged Cold War battlefields.
