Command: Modern Air Naval Operations Download PC

Command: Modern Air Naval Operations (CMANO), often known as simply Command, is a warfare simulation video game developed by Greek studio Warfare Sims, published by Matrix Games and released on September 24, 2013. Often described as the spiritual successor to the legacy Harpoon series, Command expands on both the scope and detail of simulation compared to Harpoon and was designed to overcome the earlier series limitations.

Gameplay

In CMANO, players have operational control over units. Similar to Harpoon, players can command their units using preset missions, or by giving direct instructions of the "Go here, do this" variety. The size and scale of the engagements is dependent on the scenario, with the engine capable of performing small patrol boat battles right up to global warfare. Individual scenarios vary from a few hours to multiple days of real time, although time can be accelerated to allow for quiet time between actions. No multiplayer mode is included with the game,

The game features a scenario editor that allows for real-time changes to scenarios under construction, allowing battles in the editor to be run and changed instantly.
