Better be careful on the spelling. There are a couple people around that don't seem to be very forgiving on it.

btw, good review.

Command: Shifting Sands’ different approach to CMANO stand-alone games and expansions may mark a significant point in CMANO’s development. Earlier products threw players into the deep end of the pool with no truly simple scenarios. Tutorials and YouTube videos ease the learning curve but do not fully prepare beginning players for the tense action most missions entail. Shifting Sands offers a few simple scenarios where rookies can get their feet wet but not scalded. The historical perspective is also informative. The “hot spot” themes in the other products are fascinating and educational but only capture one moment in time with inly the set of weapon platforms available to each combatant at that time.

I agree completely, this is a bit more of a user friendly campaign.

Sorry to be “that guy” but I would watch for spelling mistakes and typos that detract from the obvious intelligence that went into the review.

Thanks Jim for a great review, I like to make scenarios in a way that keeps the new player interested ie easier scenarios to start with to get them used to how Command works :)

Hi Moltke71
Spotted a typo here
Famous battles include the Israeli “left hook” preemptive airstrike of 1967 to their attack on Iran’s nuclear facility in 1981 and the savaging of the Syrian air force during the Bekaa Valley campaign of 1982.
