Hi Subsim!

I've been doing a livestream of command gameplay as well as an interview with Mike Mykytyn, one of the great Command devs.

Next time I'm live is tomorrow at 5:00pm PDT!

I’m going to be live in about 20 hours from now!



I will focus on the scenario editor; essentially doing a tutorial for the editor. I'm going to be taking questions from the chat as well as creating a few simple scenarios, playable from either side.

Hi Everyone! Thanks Myk for making this thread here and posting about me on your Facebook and across the internet!

I was raised on Fleet Command, Harpoon, Falcon 4, Silent Hunter, Red Storm Rising, Dangerous Waters and all Sonalyists games really! I've decided to start streaming gameplay of naval combat simulation games, starting off with a big dose of COMMAND.

In real life I'm a SONAR/LiDAR data analyst, and my career was certainly influenced by my time playing games you are all familiar with.
As you can tell from my join date I've been a lurker here for quite some time!

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/baloogancampaign (Saturdays at 5PM PDT)

Here is a list of my videos that are currently on YouTube:

Episode 1

• 
  I play though the Air Tutorial while explaining terrain masking and other radar sensor oriented details.
  
• 
  I play though the Submarine Tutorial, sink 2 ships, 1 sub and evade a few torpedoes while discussing sonar physics and modern submarine ASW & ASuW tactics.
  
• 
  Who knew nuking Syria with Israeli nukes would be so fun?

Episode 2

• 
  I play through Operation Lightning Strike. There is nothing more frightening to U.S. military planners than nuclear weapons falling into the wrong hands. Unfortunately the most likely places this could happen also present significant political and military challenges.
  
• 
  After that I tested out a utility I made to live stream or geostream data from Command into Google Earth on my stream’s viewers’ computers.
  
• 
  A sandbox GIUK 1980 scenario between a Soviet SAG (Surface Action Group) and American forces stationed on Iceland with a CVBG (Carrier Battle Group) moving to help oppose the Soviets.
  
• 
  Someone in the stream’s chat had a question about ASAT weapons; so I immideately set out to intercept a Kosmos Soviet satellite using F-15 Eagles armed with ASM-135 ASAT anti-satellite multi-stage missiles. I expended 2 ASM-135′s and scored one hit on the ELINT sat.

Going to be streaming live every weekend on Saturday at 5:00 pm PDT. Everyone welcome.

Hi Wargamers!

I'm going to be streaming live today (Wednesday) at 5:00 pm PDT!

Stream is located at http://www.twitch.tv/baloogancampaign

I decided I couldn't wait till the weekend to continue ; I really wanted to continue the scenario.

After the F-16 flights dueled some JF-17 elements northern Pakistan erupts into a cacophony of active radar emitters and new bogies! The F-22s are within 150 nm of the Pakistani coast! And some new surface contacts are detected between India and Pakistan! What will happen next? I have no idea...

I've upgraded my internet service, now I get 2.5 mbps rather than 0.5 mbps upload which means a faster, higher quality stream. An example of the new quality is the upload of my first , in which I look at offensive electronic warfare.

As always I'll try to answer any questions you might have about the game or about naval operations and tactics. Please pass the word!

Stream will be located at http://www.twitch.tv/baloogancampaign

I am enjoying this series.

Hi everyone!

This coming Saturday (5pm PDT Oct 12th) I will have a special guest on the show: Mike Mykytyn!!!! I'll be asking him questions about Command, WarfareSims and about the future of computer wargaming and modern naval combat!

Also if you want to ask questions about the game you are more than welcome to join the chat to ask questions!

If you have used the Editor=>Import/Export Units feature in Command then you might have blown up some of Mike's content! I know I have!

Command's ability to create a ready made scenario via the Import/Export units feature is absolutely one of my favorite features! If I want to invade Syrian airspace to blow up Assad I turn to the huge amount of Syrian units in Command's import system, it lends credibility to sandbox scenarios... If I'm blowing up real SA-5 positions in the real Syria it makes the game seem so much more immediate!

I like the import feature so much that the background of my website at http://baloogancampaign.com is entirely from the CentFront import files! You can make that huge scenario in about 20 clicks and a few minutes in game!

Please join us LIVE on Saturday (5pm PDT Oct 12th)!

Welcome back to Baloogan Campaign! Episode 7 focuses on creating and importing custom overlays for Command as well as what a Carrier Battle Group in 2025 might look like!
