Forum > Theater of Operations: World at War
Game Name
choppinlt:
OK, so my game name evolved early this summer to just Combat Operations because it was wisely suggested I focus on all fronts at the same time. Previously it was COO because of the focus on Overlord, but I quickly realized the name convention was too close to Command Ops. The topic was broached at the eve of the campaign, and I tabled most of the conversation to concentrate on the task at hand. Now is a good time to bring it back up. I am not opposed to a complete name change, but I am admittedly partial to Combat Operations. Therefore I will throw out CO: World at War (COWW)...illustrates operational combat, WWII. If I ever expanded to WWI then CO: the Great War (COGW). Cold War, COCW, etc. Thoughts?
Here is a running record of the ideas in this thread:

Hi choppinlt
You might consider getting away from the use of "CO" as it may cause confusion with other existing software.
Just a thought.

Besides being too similar to Command Ops, personally I think that Combat Operations is too bland. I'm a big fan of brainstorming--throwing lots of ideas out there to see if someone else can improve upon them.
I'm not crazy about any of the titles suggested below, but hopefully one of them might spark a better idea by someone. Personally I'm always a sucker for wargames with some kind of German title ("Drang nach Osten" anyone?):
Operational Warfare
Operational Campaigns
Command Post
Task Force Commander
Regiment Commander
Auftragstaktik
Kampfgruppe
Kampfplan
Schwerpunkt

Exactly why I throw it out for discussion! By all means, brain storm away! As a native english speaker, I agree that the use of German adds a more exotic feel. I am open to suggestions. FWIW, we had some internal discussion about the name CO, and we had similar thoughts with being bland. But we all got occupied doing our own things that no one came up with anything special.
