In our corner of the program Carrier Command has appeared
recently, giving rise to an avalanche of rumors. This
great game can be called
and strategy, and the simulator.
If you've never commanded an aircraft carrier (yes
More designs that way end of the twenty-first century), I
suggest play Carrier Command.
Let us return for a few years ago, and find out where to
start conflict, to which you
steel.
In the huge, but long ago
footworn along and across the ocean
suddenly opened the group
previously unknown islands. All
poudivlyalis, poohali, recorded the fact of their presence in
international atlases and ... Would have forgotten, if it had
not interfered with the political interests.
Two states - a giant in
For security reasons conventionally called North and South, are
fighting action, seeking to recapture the islands from each
other.
You are fighting on the side of the South against the
computer, which plays for the North, and, accordingly, is a
brazen aggressor in the eyes ordinary southerners. To win the
this war must be put in order to
hands on all the islands and the sink
an enemy aircraft carrier. Captured on the islands can be built
plants, supply depots, protective
structures - the island is controlled if it is at least one
of these structures.
Now a little about the ship, which is defined you into
submission. It is relatively small, but equipped with a perfect
weapon. In addition to laser and missile deck units, the
aircraft carrier may carry six types of gliders and Walrus

whistling missiles there. It is necessary to show the wonders
of resourcefulness. Not only that, you will shoot, you still
need to shoot, so do not miss
time of appearance of the enemy aircraft carrier.
S - Strategic game.
This is the real game from the outset. Your carrier is
located near the island of Vulcan, and enemy base on the island
of Nemesis. The remaining parts of the archipelago free. You
and the troops of the North grabbing territory, gradually make

________________
From the Editor can be added
the following:
1. Some of the islands are equipped runways.
Reaching is the island at the lowest speed and altitude flyer
can switch to autolanding. In this mode, the landing occurs
automatically, without Your control. Flyer will go gently on
the landing, turn around and stop. After this flyer will be
fueled. The most interesting thing is that
You can sit as his, and
the enemy base. Planting technique we leave you to explore a
private initiative.
2. As flyers and gliders
have a limited field of activity. If the screen began to be
borne noise, you should immediately deploy a flyer
(Glider), and decrease the distance
between him and the aircraft carrier.
