Such a dynamic scenario would have you commanding an entire district's PVO assets and having to deal randomly with anything from Mathias Rust-wannabes to gone-off-course airliners to RC-135s to Blackbirds to US bombers and even an alert for incoming ballistic missile attack. (In the latter case your task would be to rapidly disperse fighters and mobile ground assets in order to continue functioning even after the MOBs and fixed sites get vaporized).
So I'm glad to see someone take the core concept and run with it  |
Actually that's a really great idea! And thank you for the good words
I like these "waiting game followed by any number of random emergencies" scenarios, and the Lua scripting in Command really gives lots of opportunities for that. I think with my last scenario, I've figured out how to do "day in the life" 24-hour scenarios, so I might well revisit the PVO subject later.
It's funny that one of the things that kept me away from Command for so long as a lack of dynamic campaign, but the more I dig into what's possible with random scripting, the more I realize that there are a lot of great scenarios out there that are basically mini-campaigns in their own right. I really hope that side of scenario-making keeps developing.
