Command Ops: Battles from the Bulge is a real-time strategy wargame developed by Panther Games and released for PC in 2010, focused on the operational-level fighting of the Battle of the Bulge in Western Europe during the winter of 1944. Players take on the role of a Corps, Division, or Brigade commander, assessing situations, issuing orders, and adapting plans across 27 scenarios that span the initial German offensive through the Allied counterattack. A central feature is the game's command decision-making model, which Panther Games designed to simulate how historical commanders delegated authority. Players can micromanage individual units or assign control of lower-level tasks to a friendly AI, focusing instead on broader operational planning. Enemy AI responds dynamically to player movements and probes for weaknesses with coordinated strikes. Included tools — MapMaker and ScenMaker — allow the creation of custom maps and scenarios, extending the game's replayability beyond its base content.
