THE CLASSIC CLASHES OF HISTORY.
THE HEADLINES OF TODAY.
THE BATTLES OF TOMORROW.
Relive the brutal air struggle between Iran and Iraq. Wrestle the Falklands under your control. Hunt down rogue nukes in Pakistan. Go "Down Town" around Hanoi and spar with the deadly NV air defences. Lead nuclear-powered sharks of steel against the masters of antisubmarine ops. Trade volleys of fire in close-quarters gun duels, or obliterate the enemy with sophisticated, heavy-hitting hypersonic missiles from hundreds or thousands of miles away. Escort vital convoys to their destination, or make a last stand against all odds. When things escalate out of control, step up to unconventional or even nuclear weapons. Play the most dangerous game of hide and seek – at sea, on land and in the air. Command is the next generation of air/naval wargaming.

Trailer:
No trailer, but there is a tutorial series on matrix games' youtube channel, which has gameplay:
I'm pretty excited, since there hasn't been a proper game like this since harpoon, and that series is so horribly outdated by now.
We really needed one and we got one.
but the asking price is pretty ridiculous:
Looks alot like Harpoon classic. Spent countless hours on my Amiga playing harpoon, probably the main reason why i worked in the CIC on a Norwegian frigate for 3 years.
Not terrible impressed by first look, the Ai did'nt seem that good, and the Norwegians lying in stealth by the coast should be hell too get contact info on. But, i jumped a bit in the video and might have missed something.
The price is ofc a no-go, i Guess it's either pirate Version or nothing
Never heard of this until now! Thanks Shole!
I started a scenario a couple of hours ago and I'm completely hooked. This is grand scale RTS at its best. The amount of real units is impressive. I'm no expert in military operations but this one seems so frightening realistic. The AI seems pretty decent so far also.
There are also custom scenarios to download and there many options that can be automated for users that can't handle much micromanaging.
Does it worth the price? I'll go the other way and say "yes if you've loved Harpoon". Nowadays I see people buying MGS Ground Zeroes 30$ for 1-hour gameplay...
It's deeper, way more complex and realistic. I find it also more accessible than Paradox's game despite the hundreds of menus and sub-menus. The minimal vector style graphics work great but if this one had "modern day graphics" it could easily be a RTS military heaven for many gamers.
Thx, never did play Harpoon, but that pretty much tells me what I need to know. I love Naval strategy. Being a former airman on a US Naval Carrier, I have always enjoyed learning and reading about naval operations. This should be a lot of fun then.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
