Command1

What is Command?

Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations (formerly Project: Red Pill) is a comprehensive wargame of air & naval (and limited ground) military operations from post-WW2 to the near future, covering scenarios of both total-war and low-intensity/other-than-war situations. The scale is primarily tactical/operational, although strategic-scale operations are also possible.

Features

  • Powerful, intuitive 3D-globe (Google Earth-style) user interface with multiple map layers
  • Aircraft, surface ships, submarines, land units, strategic & space forces are at your disposal
  • Extensive, detailed simulation databases modeling faithfully the capabilities & limitations of each asset
  • Plenty of scenarios covering multiple historic and hypothetical conflicts, plus an integrated scenario editor
  • Tremendous flexibility of scale: From counter-piracy skirmishes to strategic nuclear war
  • Detailed modeling of air (including near-space) and naval operations, both surface and underwater, supported by high-quality physics, sensor/EW, terrain and weather, weapon and damage models
  • Good modeling of land-based forces (relevant to air/naval/space operations)
  • Mine and mine-countermeasure operations
  • Nuclear operations (possibly other special-weapon categories)
  • Recorder & replay ability
