operational doctrines writeup?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

operational doctrines writeup?

Post by davidx »

I have read in the forums, that command ops incorporates different operational doctrine for various forces.

I think it would be beneficial to have a short writeup on the operation doctrine, differences etc, for the various forces, as programed by panther games.

As playing scenarios both sides, It appears to be true, such as with indirect artillery support, but as the simulated top level HQ command, I should not have to guess it from game play. Having a short write would allow me to develop strategies leveraging the doctrine strengths and knowing if it goes against doctrine, there will generally be a cost.

Agree it would be a good idea.

I´d say there´s no such programmed doctrine and the AI handles all forces the same, which is no big disadvantage, as by late 1944 all major combatants approached each other to a similar doctrinal frame (ground combat).

When it comes to early war period (39 to 42), things should look a bit different IMO.

As far as I'm aware doctrines was going to be a new feature for the Russian front game.
