The Command LIVE News Team has sent his last editorial report, directly from the frontline!

Saudi Arabia and Iran’s international relations are getting worse, after the news of gunfire between an Iranian marine ship and Saudi forces.

Considering the endless list of proxy wars the two countries have fought for supremacy in the region, the chance of a wider conflict is now more concrete, with rumors of an Iranian retaliation being confirmed!

Read the analysis below to get prepared for what is coming!

Command LIVE: Black Gold Blitz will be available on November 7th

Great! and thanks for making it 4 pages so that it is easier to print.

CMANO team, this scenario is a little too ripped from the headlines...

This weekend has been the Saudi Game of Thrones:

and the Saudi government made this threat after the attack against the capital:

Saudi statement says missile debris shows Iranian components, "could rise to be considered as an act of war against the Kingdom"

Now this:

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Saudi-led coalition closes Yemen's land, sea and air ports after missile targeted Riyadh.

Better release the scenario before war starts.

Yeah I remember that real events kind of threw a wrench into the realism and immersion of the first Command: LIVE scenario.

Four days before the release of the scenario, which featured Turkey vs Russia, the Turkish military attempted a coup d'état which was crushed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Turk ... at_attempt

It was a bit late to make significant changes to the scenario to reflect this.

There are rumors about a failed coup d'état in KSA few days ago.
Lots of officials arrested. Official story: corruption.

True, but soon afterwards Syria and Turkey were at it again. So the scen remained relevant [:)]

Alwaleed bin Talal now is the owner of a Yacht named "Kingdom" (of all the names...); Alwaleed bought it from the present President of the USA when it went nearly bankrupt a little time ago; it happens that before Mr Trump the same yacht was owned by Mr Kashoggi (famous arms and arts dealer) and sold it when it was jailed for his dealings.
It's not surprising that in the yacht world the "Kingdom" has a bad omen.
Most probably it will be on the market soon, anyone willing to take a bid?
