Enemy Engaged: Comanche vs Hokum (short: EECH) is an attack helicopter Combat flight simulator video game developed by Razorworks and released by Empire Interactive for the PC/Windows in March 2000. The game was a follow up to Enemy Engaged: Apache vs Havoc, and interconnectable with it. A Mac OS X version of the game was developed by Zonic Limited and published by Feral Interactive in November 2002.
The source code has been released around 2003 under an own license. This resulted then in a heavily modified game by the game's community who continued the support. In 2009 the game was re-released as digital distribution on GOG.com.
Latest community update was released in February 2016.
The editors of Computer Gaming World named Comanche vs. Hokum the best simulation game of 2000. They highlighted its "superb flight physics, intelligent AI, and outstanding eye and ear candy", and concluded, "In a beleaguered genre, it's good to see a developer invest the time and energy to produce a standout."

Enemy Engaged 2 is the sequel to Enemy Engaged: Comanche vs Hokum. It was released on May 25, 2007. Though the sequel was improved in some ways compared to the first game, it has been highly criticized for its lack of new features. Many improvements were already implemented in the modded version of the first game. Some commentators also felt it was not ready for release considering the large amount of bugs it contained. The biggest improvement can be seen in the graphics of the game (who were taken from the Comanche Hokum modded version).
