Welcome to Basic Surface Operations 1.4

In this scenario you will have command of a Thai anti-submarine frigate. Using pop-up messages like this, you will be guided through the following topics:

Your mission is to detect and destroy a variety of underwater targets and simulated OPFOR submarines operating in your area. You will need to make use of your sensors to detect and localise and identify underwater contacts before engaging, while remaining in the time limit.

In this tutorial as with others in this series multiple pop-ups will appear with important messages. If you need to review any of these later, you can open the message history in a second window by pressing Ctrl+M and scrolling to the appropriate message.

This tutorial is designed to stop time compression with pop-ups at important moments. Surface operations can be slow paced due to the speeds and distances involved, so feel free to use time compression in the tutorial knowing that any significant developments will be accompanied by a time-stopping pop-up.

To make use of this in your own gameplay, or fine-tune pop-up settings for this tutorial go to Game > Game Options > Message Log and select 'Raise Pop-Up' for any event that you wish. Useful pop-ups for Surface operations include 'Contact Change', 'New Contact', 'Special Messages' (this should always be on), 'Unit Damage', 'Unit Lost' and 'New Weapon Contact'.

In this scenario pop-ups will appear with important messages. You can find them in the documents that come with the tutorial. The default location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Command Modern Operations\Scenarios\Tutorials\Surface Warfare Tutorials\Documents.
