This Command Showcase DLC puts the player in a dynamic and demanding situation set in 2026 where mission objectives and escalation go hand in hand, when armed conflict should be avoided but player actions will make it likely.

Russia, in an attempt to break international sanctions, has set up a trade agreement with Angola. Unfortunately, the situation has turned ugly with the death of the Angolan President, back and forth claims of Russian and/or US and/or European interference fused with a fractious domestic political situation boiling down to civil war. While many nations attempt to evacuate non-combatants, Russia has vowed to send ‘Peacekeepers’ and the US is adamant that its Embassy will remain open and US citizens will be protected.

Enter the USS Ford and her dispersed Strike Group, diverted from a scheduled visit to South America. Simultaneously, the Russians divert their newly refitted Battle Cruiser Admiral Nakhimov from a mission to the Mediterranean. Suddenly two of the most powerful ships on the planet are steaming at high speed towards a tinderbox situation – what could possibly go wrong?

This scenario features

• Playable by the US side only and focused on the USS Ford.
• Configurable air wing for the USS Ford with 10, 14 or 20 F-35s and varying numbers of other aircraft to round out the wing.
• Randomized starting positions for many elements.
• P-8, RQ-180 and other high end surveillance aircraft.
• High end SSNs on both sides.
• Airborne insertion of US Marines to the US Embassy.
• A NATO airlift not under the player’s control but needing protection.
• A fast moving and dynamic situation on the ground which will complicate the player’s ability to achieve tasks and missions.
• An escalation mechanism where both Russia and Angola will gradually lose patience with player actions at different rates and for different reasons, and likely start shooting.

Limited time for hostilities before political pressure curtails the player’s ability to act.
