Command: Modern Operations - Northern Inferno

Command: Modern Operations - Northern Inferno is a standalone game and a campaign expansion for Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations (CMANO), using the latest version of the CMANO engine. Set in 1975, its fictional campaign follows a crisis that begins when an at-sea “accident” sinks a Royal Navy frigate and the Warsaw Pact mobilizes. As tensions between the superpowers escalate, you command forces in an effort to avert a global conflict and nuclear disaster.

The campaign

The campaign contains 15 scenarios set during a period of Cold War tension beneath the veneer of détente. Written by Paul A. Bridge, an active Royal Navy officer and Falklands veteran, the scenarios are introduced by historic videos that link them and establish the campaign’s progression. The fictional events and scenarios are researched in detail, and are intended for both novice players and experts.

Air, sea and nuclear operations

You conduct air, surface and underwater combat using the CMANO simulation engine. Each unit matters, and success depends on coordinating joint operations. The campaign includes conventional and nuclear operations, with the possibility of nuclear weapons use.

Standalone or expansion

Northern Inferno can be played as a separate game or added to an existing CMANO collection of scenarios.
