Carrier Command
built 656 days ago
Most of the combat in the Carrier Command mission is with enemy islands. The most direct way of taking them over is to destroy the command centre, usually by Manta attack leaving the carrier just out of range of enemy missiles. Once the command centre is destroyed the missile launchers blow up and you can use a Walrus tank to plant an ACCB. Alternatively you can provide covering fire, possibly using a Manta to destroy the 'Bat cave', for a Walrus with a virus bomb. If you succeed in getting to the command centre with the Walrus, the virus bomb can be fired into it, turning the island over to your command without destroying all its buildings.

Set in the mid 22nd Century, Carrier Command was a 3D arcade strategy game which saw the player take command of a futuristic aircraft carrier. New volcanic islands were popping up in the 'Southern Ocean' due to huge movements of tectonic plates on the earth's crust. This new archipelago was to become the battleground between two opposing super-carriers - the Epsilon and the Omega.

IX Troop Carrier Command had two commanders during its existence. Brigadier General Benjamin F. Giles commanded IX TCC between its activation on 16 October 1943 and 25 February 1944, although he was a caretaker commander until the arrival of its operational commander, Major General Paul L. Williams. Williams commanded IX TCC for the remainder of war, to 12 July 1945, and again in the United States after its redeployment from Europe, from 5 November 1945 to 31 March 1946.

Even though Carrier Command has a story, it is as uninteresting as it is irrelevant to the actual game. In short, you are in command of a futuristic carrier and your task is to capture islands, expand your supply network and ultimately beat the opponent carrier which is aiming to do the same. A simple premise then, but that’s just the top of the iceberg.

The original cadre came from "Headquarters 1st Troop Carrier Command" eastablished as a provisional headquarters by the Eighth Air Force in September with six officers and three aircraft of the 315th Troop Carrier Group. On 1 October 1943 the 434th Troop Carrier Group became part of the provisional command and was the only group assigned. Twelve airfields were designated for the new command, each to house 40 C-47s and a like number of gliders: RAF Fulbeck, RAF Langar, RAF Bottesford, RAF Wakerley, RAF Balderton, RAF North Witham, RAF Barkston Heath, RAF Cottesmore, RAF North Luffenham, RAF Saltby, RAF Folkingham, and RAF Woolfox Lodge.

Troop Carrier Command made a reappearance the following year for Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, which ran from the 9th through the 14th of July, 1943. Now operating from newly captured fields in North Africa, the troop carriers would be making a much shorter flight to and from the drop. It seems at first that the brass have learned from Torch, and that perhaps some of the prior mistakes can be avoided.
