Re: Carrier Command

The easiest way to take out an enemy island is to load up a Manta (plane)
with 8 missiles (3 each on the wings, 2 in the center) and fly it right
toward the Command Center of that island. Let them fly; if you're lucky,
you can get your plane back to the carrier. It may take more than 8 missiles
so load up a 2nd Manta in case. Once the CC is destroyed, you'll get a message
that "<ISLAND> is now a neutral island!" and you can send in a tank with a
CC module to make it your own.

This is not the best way; a Virus bomb will take over the island to be your
own and will not destroy the island's current production (as the former
method, quick & dirty, will). However, deploying a Virus bomb is TOUGH.

You can also back the carrier as close as it'll get to the shore where the
CC is, and use the missiles, but it's  a lot faster to use the Mantas, and,
in this game, speed is of the essence--the enemy carrier is a LOT faster than
you are...The Action Game, BTW, is simply the Strategic Game after about 3
hours of play. The Strategic Game is where the reaal fun is...
