Technically, you can place ships in a couple places. There are parts of Lake Superior and Lake Michigan that are deep enough the lake bed sits below sea level. Ice is a great excavator. Also, good place to stick an SSBN or three during the cold war. I checked and I did place the Ohio on the US side ...

I'm sure it's intentionally inaccurate to some degree. Early on, there were tons of crazy reports along say the US West Coast about Japanese fleets, aircraft, troop ships, false reports of landings, bombings, etc and a very occasional real incident (the Japanese sub shelling an oil facility near ...

That's the truth.

So the WSJ is reporting that among the Russian aircraft shot down by Wagner in their march on Moscow, they appear to have bagged an IL-22 Airborne Command Post aircraft. Has anyone else heard this, and, if so, how'd they manage to do that? I'm not a military strategist but it seems like the sort of ...

So this is an AAR based on a couple attempts at this scenario when I played it a week or two ago. Unfortunately, I didn't take any images as I wasn't planning to write this but here we go.

The basic premise is you have part of a panzer brigade defending the town of Amberg as well as the area to the ...

I don't think the Irish have had such a capability for many years. They had a few Hurricanes during WW2 and a few Spitfires after. I guess their Pilatus trainers can be armed with machine guns. :)

According to Wikipedia, they held a defense review in February 2022 and included in their LOAs (List ...

Playing with the new OpenTopoMap layer got me thinking, does the game have functional lighthouses? I know there is a facility for lighthouses but having some that could actually function might be a useful addition to some scenarios. I'm currently replaying "Choking Halifax" and I realize the landing ...

Hi, this looks interesting. The screens I've seen show modern day borders. Will it also contain scenarios of say, different points in the Cold War? An all (or mostly) bomber scenario from the 1950's might be interesting or a mid-1980's one where everyone is essentially maxed out might also be ...

I've generally done well with the betas but this one for some reason hasn't worked out.

Having the same problem. I've read the explanation a few times but honestly don't get it ... guess I'm going to wait for them to fix this.

It was mentioned recently that A-10 Warthogs may be among aircraft considered for supply to Ukraine. Online forums immediately exploded into passionate argument between pro and anti-Warthog factions! Just curious how the A-10 is modeled in CMANO? Is it viewed as dead meat without complete air ...

"Modern fighter jets have typically been designed to withstand 8,000 total hours of flight time during their operational lifespan. With an average of 200 hours in the air each year, this means they are expected to continue delivering high performance in sorties and missions for somewhere between ...

Yes, the sock-puppet has been reported. I recognized it from the first post.


It's sad they don't have anything better to do or the sophistication to understand that they're really, really obvious. Like, painfully obvious. They're so easy to identify they don't even have time to enflame the ...

Many missions revolve around bombing airfields. Russian aircraft have rough field capability. Su 27 can operate from dirt fields. I suspect the tu 22 blinder can as its engines are mounted higher up. Il 76 and derivatives routinely operate from rough fields. Of western aircraft maybe the jaguar ...

So since Command is starting to make land warfare more interesting, I thought I'd include a couple of small test facilities to try out.

Rasdorf: A small community adjacent to the inner-German border, in 2020 it totaled less than 2,000 people. This was a fairly easy village to do and, where I could ...

Orm, thanks, that was quite helpful to me and I (think) I get it now! I’ll give it a try!

Thanks for the welcome! I’ve been intrigued by this game and bought it awhile ago on sale but then life got busy but decided to give it a serious go. So far, I’m enjoying it a lot!

So I read this thread but I didn't quite understand. New player here. So I picked up Gort and moved him to Cherbourg, which you all say was a mistake. And now I see that I can't move another unit over because that would mean four units in France? Gort+other land unit+2 TRS?

It seems like the ...

The only problem I see, is that it is untested in a real war vs a IADS.


We've faced off with a number of IADS though in our history, beginning with Vietnam, which was pretty-much Soviet operated. We also saw it in the Gulf War. And we've learned a whole lot from the Israeli experiences over the ...

There was no problem leaving Lodz after you took it, as long as a Polish unit did not re-occupy it.

Poland (and any other country) is not conquered until the end of turn process.


Ahhh, there it is. The turn continues, no Polish forces remain but once the Germans took Lodz, the Poles never took ...

To conquer Poland, the Germans have to take both Lodz and Warsaw, since both have printed factories. If either is still Polish, Poland fights on. Also, a country is only conquered during the Conquest step at the the end of the turn. Polish units are not removed until then.


So I had taken Lodz ...
