Commanders

The Burden of Command

You do not need any free nor purchased video game for these roles. They are 100 percent playable with pen and paper, Discord, and online maps. These roles interact with with the games, but do not require any of them. An arrow you draw and an order you write will be executed by other people on game days. It's a fascinating way to play, and watching your plan unfold, however it may be, on the battlefield is exhilarating.

In all these roles, you're free to assign a deputy, and you may delegate tasks to other players who are willing. We understand real world constraints, and resigning your role is no big deal. Just be sure to communicate with us.

Combined Forces Land Component Commander

Depending on what AO is assigned as the focus of that timeframe, the commander directs the ground war. Some of your plans will end up on the Arma 3 gamedays or the Steel Beasts scenario. However, many of your big moves are played on the Kriegspiel in Vassal Engine by your subordinate commanders. You may choose to play it yourself, or assign a field commander to play the boardgame on your behalf. Each Brigade is ideally also commanded by a human.

Combined Air Forces Component Commander

The Air Combat Component of CTF-NORTH. This player is in charge of accomplishing the overall intent, with primarily the DCS flights and airplanes being their tool. This is the most active player commander, juggling their available tools every week and giving their ATO to the flight leads. Real humans will fly your missions, so don't screw up. And if you so choose, you can loan out your air assets to be used as Air Unit Counters on the Hex-map!

Combined Forces J4

You are in charge of coordinating the logistics happening in MSFS and X-Plane, and Truck simulator and deciding broad strokes for the players to execute logistics operations with.
