On September 22, 2019September 23, 2019 By Casey

More details have emerged since my previous post and we’ll take another look at the situation. The tough part about operating with open-source intel is well, it can be a bit rough. On the plus side it’s easy to test all this out in CMANO. So we’ll make a few […]

Command : Modern Air Naval Operations – Abqaiq Refinery Strike

On September 16, 2019 By Casey

One of the great things about CMANO is seeing a headline and testing it out yourself. The refinery strike on Abqaiq and the Khurais oil fields are a prime example. In this post we’ll explore how to research the topic and turn it into a CMANO scenario. At approximately 0400 […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : LUA Waypoints

On November 24, 2017February 5, 2019 By Casey

Today’s Lua repository is covering a relatively simple, but infinitely useful waypoint method. You have to manually path your strike missions and this can lead to some comedy when you forget a plane and it flies over some MANPAD’s. Or maybe you want the OPFOR to act sneaky and fly […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : Custom Overlays & Campaign Overlays

On October 29, 2017 By Casey

Out of the box CMANO uses a map set known as SRTM 30 Plus. This is an open repository from the USGS with tiled data from across the globe. It’s great for CMANO on a macro scale, but what if we want to get right in and see individual target […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : Lua Repository #5 Conditions

On October 21, 2017February 5, 2019 By Casey

Using conditions in Command Modern Air Naval Operations can be kind of tricky. Unlike triggers, which are pretty obvious, or actions, which can be dead simple, a condition is more complex. In a nutshell we use Lua to check something and return true or false. If true the action will […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : Lua Repository #4 Random Traffic

On October 10, 2017February 5, 2019 By Casey

Every so often you meet a script that’s beautiful. My first script moment was when I saw the differential equation for a moon shot rocket as it loses fuel, gravity drops, velocity rises, and… well you get the idea. The below script, courtesy of Apache85, is a script like that. […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : Lua Repository #3 – Weather

On October 8, 2017February 5, 2019 By Casey

Weather in CMANO is one of those things you don’t think about until suddenly you can’t attack a target. Then you realize that the world is alive below you. As a scenario designer it’s one of those things that can really fill out your scenario and bring it to life. […]

Command Modern Air Naval Operations : Lua Repository 2

On October 7, 2017February 5, 2019 By Casey

This is another entry in my Lua Repository for CMANO. (Find the first one here) I have a large and ungainly notepad++ document with notes, ideas, scribbles, and even a bit of Lua. To start with we’ll run down what I currently have, later we’ll look at other functions from […]
