Modern Air Power

Modern Air Power

Master the Modern Air Battlefield

The Modern Air Power series places you in command of modern air campaigns, recreating the complexity of missile-age aerial warfare in a continuous-time simulation where both sides act simultaneously. Time can be compressed from real-time up to 10× speed, allowing you to coordinate fighter sweeps, strike packages, reconnaissance missions, electronic warfare, aerial refueling, and air defense across a dynamic battlefield where every second counts.

Rather than focusing on individual aircraft, Modern Air Power challenges you to plan and execute entire air campaigns. Direct interceptors against incoming raids, suppress enemy air defenses, coordinate precision strikes, protect vital infrastructure, and maintain the flow of information through AWACS, radar, reconnaissance, and electronic intelligence. Success depends as much on planning, timing, and situational awareness as it does on superior aircraft and weapons.

The simulation models modern air combat in remarkable detail, including realistic sensors, radar, electronic warfare, precision-guided weapons, aerial refueling, logistics, weather, and fog of war. Historical conflicts are complemented by carefully researched hypothetical scenarios, allowing players to explore both real-world operations and plausible what-if engagements.

Every title includes comprehensive documentation, powerful editors for creating or modifying scenarios and databases, and support for both single-player and multiplayer games over a local network or the Internet. Download the Modern Air Power Demo to experience the series before purchasing.

Modern Operational Warfare

Modern Campaigns recreates warfare in an era where information, mobility, and firepower combine to shape every operation. Mechanized infantry, main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery, attack helicopters, engineers, reconnaissance units, and tactical air power must work together to achieve success.

Victory depends on more than winning individual engagements. Maintaining supply, preserving operational momentum, coordinating headquarters, and concentrating combat power at the decisive point are just as important as tactical skill.

Historical Conflicts and Plausible Alternatives

The series combines meticulously researched historical campaigns with hypothetical Cold War conflicts based on contemporary military planning, doctrine, and force structures. Whether recreating real battles or exploring operations that remained on the drawing board, every scenario is designed to provide a believable operational challenge grounded in historical realities.

This combination allows players not only to refight history, but also to examine how major Cold War confrontations might have unfolded had diplomacy failed.

Combined Arms in the Modern Era

Modern warfare demands close cooperation between armor, mechanized infantry, artillery, engineers, helicopters, reconnaissance assets, and tactical air support. River crossings, bridge construction, minefields, electronic warfare, air interdiction, logistics, and command-and-control all influence the outcome of a campaign.

Success belongs to commanders who can integrate every arm of service while adapting to changing battlefield conditions and exploiting fleeting opportunities.

Create, Modify, and Share

Every Modern Campaigns title includes comprehensive editors for creating and modifying scenarios and orders of battle. Recreate historical operations, explore alternative Cold War campaigns, or design entirely new challenges using the same tools employed during development.

The series also supports single-player games against the AI, Hot Seat, Play-by-Email, and network multiplayer, making it easy to enjoy both historical recreations and competitive operational warfare with friends.
