Playable Sides: Task Force Maverick (US)

Introduction

Reliable intelligence has determined that an al-Qaeda courier is bringing information coordinating further terrorist actions in sub-Saharan Africa to the leadership council of the Somali al-Shabaab faction. The National Command Authority has committed elements of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group to act on this information if it turns out to be credible. Kearsarge and a lone escort, the Littoral Combat Ship USS Independence, have steamed ahead of the rest of their group in order to conduct this covert mission off the coast of the southern Somali city of Kismayo.

Their mission: to acquire and observe the courier in the chance that he will lead them to any al-Shabaab leadership elements and if so, to launch a direct action effort to capture them.

This waiting is almost killing me, after all those years. I actually re-installed Harpoon 3 and Ragnar's WW3 in 1985 to calm my nerves. [:)]

Just wondering, what is the purpose of this thread?

[Dimitris]

To promote one of our favorite 3rd-party scenarios so far. Is this a trick question? [:D]

[GBS]

Not at all. Is it going to be an AAR? Is it included in the release? Since its third party, will it be downloadable after release of the game?

[mikmykWS]

It will be included in the release.

Thanks!

Nice, sounds like it could be a neat scenario.

[mikmykWS]

Seeing all of these AAR's and descriptions of scenarios really has me excited. Each one involves completely different types of combat, tactics, and time periods. I look forward to seeing what the community comes up with over time and all of the updates that I'm sure are in the pipeline.

This game feels more like an investment than a purchase!

[Primarchx]

Very good point. One thing that blows me away about playing Command is that real-life tactics actually work. That's because of the high fidelity to real-life systems and environment that the game presents.

Of course that presents real-life limitations, too. Want to shoot an Shrike ARM at a SAM guidance radar? Well, it has to be radiating to do that. Which means there's a SAM in the air. Better shoot and scoot!
