** Command Ops 2 description **
Command Ops is a wargame engine that lets you assess, plan, order and react at the operational level just like a real Corps, Division and Brigade commander.
Now, the smartest and most realistic operational level wargame just got a whole lot better. Command like a real commander in this pausable, continuous time simulation of WW2 operational warfare, where the emphasis is on planning, anticipating and reacting to enemy developments. This is not a click-fest and you don’t have to issue orders to every unit. The world’s smartest operational level AI can be trusted to do a reasonable job of managing your forces.

Tried this game three times, this time i watched this video and I have got over the original hurdle. Thanks so much!
I was overwhelmed by the complexity of this game until I found this channel. You explained everything very well. You should do a comprehensive tutorial because you would do a enjoyable and interesting job, better than the official tut. 10/10 thank you.
Thank you, Darren. I think Command Ops is a good game series, and it deserves a good tutorial, but at this point it's been a couple of years since I played it! Maybe I can reconnect with it.
@@TortugaPower That would be nice.
@@TortugaPower : base games free if i can learn turnbase as i been wanting to learn for so long, i downloaded all 6 Manuals to understand what ecah square and how many soldiers or units each holds i know it varies.
Excellent intro into the game for me - informative, interesting and not too overwhelming - thanks very much - > liked & Subbed.
re-watching this again. I hope you get a chance to do another long campaign this time as the Germans.
Thank you! You explained everything so well and really highlighted this game's strong points. I'm trying to learn and this video is a great help.
I'm glad to hear this was helpful. It moved pretty slow in order to be beginner friendly
first time viewer to this lets play. really enjoying the commentary. its like watching a movie. looking forward to the rest of the series.
It's a bit slow paced (a common criticism), but a great game!
@@TortugaPower i love it so far. It could be , you making it more fun with the role play and game experience. I hope you consider doing more lets plays maybe a eastern front scenario.
I think I have around another 15 hours with this series.
Great video. Massive respect man.
I love me some HOI3 Blackice, this looks like something i could get into, got yourself a new sub
It's quite technical, and it's a little lower down the food chain than HoI3, but if you like wargames, it's one of the top ones I've seen.
very insightful video. extremely well presented. and very helpful indeed. many thanks
I'm very glad to hear this feedback. Thank you!
This series looks really cool
One of my favorite games! A real gem, although some people find this series a bit slow

Wanted to let you know you are one of my favorite youtubers! Love the genre of games you play and you are also very helpful on your discord channel. Please keep up the good work and also out of all the WW2 games you play which do you prefer the most? As a noob to the genre I am looking for some great games and learn them. Thanks again...
Thank you! WW2 favorite: that's a tough one. I've probably had the most fun with and put the most hours into two relatively outdated games: Hearts of Iron 3, and Advanced Tactics Gold. I don't know that I'd recommend them any more as they are aging. That'd be a great question to ask in #general on the Discord!
@@TortugaPower HOI3 still holds up I think, OOB alone is worth it compared to HOI4
This looks like a really cool game. I'll wait before looking to buy though.
Yeah, I'll explain more about purchasing later, but feel free to grab the core engine to play around with it.
OOPLA LUKE nice. :-) OOD(ecide)A loop. I've played CO2 a bit, really liked it, but watching you play made me realize that I am doing too much micro-management.
Somebody who micro-manages more than me?! Impossible!
I honestly think this game is beyond my capabilities. Cool to watch once everyone starts organising and moving. How specific do your orders have to be? For example, could you give an example to he top level unit and tell it to 'take the far hill' and then let it try and win the battle for you or do you have to give more orders than that?
I have never tried giving orders to the highest level (in our case here, CCA HQ), but I'm guessing that yes that would work -- let the AI go against the AI. I'm not 100% sure tho. But otherwise, yes this game is slightly difficult to get into, and there are still times when "your subordinates" [the AI] makes dumb decisions and it leads to frustration. But maybe that's part of the fun/immersion?
Yes, you can basically order your whole force to "go secure that bridge" and the AI will populate relevant orders to its subunits (based on the settings for the command, the environment, enemy reactions etc.). But of course you are better off giving orders also to some of the sub-units of the whole command, to better realize your strategy. Also, the Command Delay (I believe that is the name) plays a huge role, as there are always delays in units relaying the relevant commands to their subunits. If you turn it off, you can have a more hand-on approach, but that will not be realistic - and for some scenarios you will have the "best" Command Delay setting recommended. But take my words with a grain of salt, I am also only getting into Command Ops 2 myself.
Don't know if you've gotten into contact with LnL by now, but if not, then probably the best place to contact them is via the Consimworld forum, if you're familiar with it. Also, pretty much every question/issue anyone mentions there gets the "open a support ticket" response, but it's worth a try.
I went to the Lock n' Load publishing site, do you think this Consimworld is a better place to try? I figured that, since LnL is the main publisher and since that is where you go to download, that it would be the main area to seek support/etc.

Right in the middle between grand strategy and tactical... so operational warfare?
That's right, this is operational level.
Nice game! I have always wanted to see a bit more about it. Does anyone do a Russian campaign do you know?
That's a great question. I think you can find all the scenarios available on the Lock n Load website, but off the top of my head, I don't know if any of them are from the Eastern front. Seems like a big missed opportunity if not!
VERY good stuff, man. Been a while since I've been here, and i'm glad to see you active and working!
This is a really fun game, it was a must to play.
Ever consider Strategic Command 2? Good lord, the madness that game can have :D I actually wound up being trapped in this hellish war as the allies in Turkey during the muddy season. Endless mountains being fought over in the grimmest resurrection of WW1 seen...nothing moved, supply was hell, reinforcements were nearly impossible. But it expanded the front in the east so hard that DDAY was virtually unopposed. :D This Command Ops is pretty cool too!
I'm going to take a very close look at this Strategic Command 2! Thanks, I love recommendations, and somehow this one wasn't even on my radar. Command Ops 2 was especially nice since they have basically like a very complete demo to test it out.
Orientation observe assess act
Daytime.... Nighttime.....
This game has both! (Not sure what you meant here, sorry)
Search on youtube "NIGHTIME DAYTIME" :P I know I know bad joke :D
P.S. I'm just starting on Command Ops 2 myself. Lot's of stuff to learn.
It feels like you take ten minutes to explain something that can be explained in one minute, but otherwise it was a good video
How do I stop the game for crashing on select of "New"?
Hi, I think LOS area is not working for me. It is same at everywhere, a little green and a red circle. It is not showing anything more :/ oh and also the LOS is red for me, do you know why?
Yes, its night time
Thats not right, the game Graviteam Tactics Miusfront is similar to play like Command Ops 2 , you plan also your attack and give preorders , but sure you can go into micro management too as in CO2 .
Miusfront has a great grafical representation too. I like both games, and Combat Mission too
CO2 is a brilliant game concept but the implementation is tedious and boring, for one simple reason: You cannot rename a unit. You are constantly dealing with names like "D Coy. 83th Recon Bn," "AG Pl 48 Arm Inf Bn," and "2 Pl H Coy 3/32 Armored Rgt." All units have cumbersome names like that. They are historic, but oh sooooo tedious. A simple option to rename any unit---to give it a friendly name just for gameplay purposes---would make all the difference in the world. Names like "Buffalo," "Tuxedo," "Joe's Bunch," or anything the user chooses would make all the difference. I love the game but gave up playing it, because of the tedium of horrid names. And, historically, a commander will not pronounce all that crap (such as 275 Arm Fd Arty Bn) while giving orders. No, he will say, "Tell Johnson to have his guns support that left flank." Can you imagine Patton saying, "Tell the 275th Armored Forward Artillery Batalion to support the left flank." I don't think so. Great generals love efficiency and not long-winded pronunciation of tedious and impractical formal names.
I think you have a fair point, Chine. I would say especially for this time period. I'm not sure how things work nowadays, but the modern military may be much more precise about its designations, even at the higher levels. At the lower levels, strict radio discipline is enforced (although in the heat of the moment, I'm sure it slips).
That's actual thought, espesially for me as the non-English gamer. I would rename your example to "275 артб", or tank units to "123 тб" or "123 тр". But, probably, it's a problem of localization that just doesn't exists.
You're complaining about stuff that's going on 'in your head', not in the actual game. The game is not pronouncing anything, you are doing that in your brain. You need a 5-day pass for therapy.
Yeah callsigns are massive at even the higher ranks, theres always someone higher rank around who makes sure that all subordinates are following protocol, because in the heat of the moment, the best thing you can do is be clear and concise and remove ambiguity about who when what and where action is happening. Communications is the single most important factor in commanding multipronged and multifaceted military forces, instant access to information allows for far more control in the randomness of war
Please man, I looove your channel, but for the love of god do not drink or eat while you're recording your videos, you can just easily pause, drink, have lunch or whatever you want, then continue to record a clean video.
Looks like graphics made in paint program lol you can´t see your physical units if so thats dull..
LOS area tool doesn’t work. Shows the same thing wherever I click. Good to fucking know.
Edit: this game is trash, it’s free though I guess.
