My Command Essays: How to "publish"?
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2024 10:43 pm
Hello everyone,
So a number of months ago I decided to try out an idea I've had for some time. With how well received my Steam New Player Guide was, I'd thought of writing a possible series of essays on certain topics in the context of Command, primarily for newer players but freely available to all of us.
Keep in mind that these don't really follow any rigorous academic standards or anything, they're just texts that I churned out from my own thoughts and information I have in my library as well as freely available online. And all of these are explicitly written for use by Command players and are written as such.
While I've got some final polishing to do on a couple of them, I have three essays that I think are ready or nearly ready to be shared. They are titled as follows:
"Some Principles of Contact Analysis"
"Nagumo’s Dilemma in the Modern Era: Carrier Air Wing Arming and Loadout Considerations"
"Kobayashi Maru, the 1973 Naval Standoff, and the Soviet “Battle of the First Salvo” Concept"
My question to all of you is: How should I publish these so that it would be easiest for you to access?
I was thinking of providing them as PDF attachments in the Matrix Forum and the FB group. I prefer this over simply copy-pasting them into a forum post or Steam Guide, as I want players to be able to easily print them out or put them on e-readers if they so choose. One of the essays does have a map image that I edited for a specific purpose.
