Hello,
I am one of the developers of Command: Modern Air Naval Operations.
I found this thread by chance and read some things regarding Command and our dev team which are patently false. So I would like to set the record straight.
1) Stormridersp is not a member of the Command dev group. We know him from our forums but he is not associated with us. He speaks only for himself.
2) Command is not competitive to NWAC (and vice-versa). They are products dealing with the same subject but with vastly different design priorities and catering _largely_ to different audiences (some overlap does exist). To compare them is to compare a marathon runner to a 100m sprinter - apples and oranges. (For what it's worth, I do play NWAC occasionally).
3) We do have a forum on NWAC and have done so since the first day of its release. We do have a vested interest in it but not of the kind that =Mike= assumes. NWAC's fortunes, both good and bad, affect the genre as a whole. The air/nav wargaming community needs titles like NWAC (and Fleet Command before it) for its growth as much as it needs titles like Command, Harpoon and GCB2. This is why we have been discussing & supporting all of these and other games on our forums since 2004 and on other hangouts even before that. Our own game's success does not have to be at the expense of anyone else. This is not a zero-sum market; everybody can make it without needing to step on the corpses of others.
Thanks!
