HLE's Command Essays

[HalfLifeExpert]

Hello again everyone, I hereby present my three essays related to Command: Modern Operations that i posted about yesterday.

I'll say once again that these are intended for players that are on the newer side to Command as well those with limited understanding of modern naval warfare in general, but I certainly hope you can find value in them.

I also sincerely hope that any of you out there that may be so inclined contribute essays of your own to our community. Command is a complex simulation with so many facets and layers to it that I would never be able to come close to writing about all of them.

I only selected a few topics that I felt I could convey helpful information of to those who are looking for a more concentrated and concise understanding than might be found in other sources.

Depending on the feedback to these, I may pursue writing other essays in the future, but I don't presently have any in the pipeline.

Since the proper place for these essays is probably in the "War Room" subforum, I'll put the PDFs for them there for individual feedback, but I will also put the link to a shared Google Folder I created to make them available on FB here as well

These look really good. thanks for the effort!

As a new player to CMO (i.e. less than a year) they are a great read.

Do you mind if I add them to the user doc appendix.

I will also referemce them in the Sea Power Steam forum. They could most certainly use the insight on turnaround and ready status.

By all means go ahead!

I'll have my lawyer call yours. Maybe I can get someone to nitpick your work too.

Well done. Bravo Zulu.

Well I guess thats it then. I'll drop the word docs on the thread and you can pick it up.

Just so everyone is wondering what I'm talking about, the above post was edited.

edit: Thinking about this...why would anyone do anything for anyone else ever if they knew they were going to get that kind of snide comment? Its not like I take this personally and don't expect or want any thanks or accolades. Maybe if you can't bring yourself to off to actually help, just shut up. Picking the documentation up is something that helps me and helps the dev focus on improving the game itself. But its easy enough to stop working on it.
