Hi al i'm new to this forum but have been a long time player of this game. glad to see they revived the original design as i didnt care to much for the other versions that came out. playing with the commanders edition and was wondering if there was now a way to invade and take over an enemy base, other than just destroying it. Have noticed that you have combat troops and the like as loadouts for transport helos and planes but what good are they if you cant land them at an enemy base or installation after you have knocked their defenses down

Right now (and for the foreseeable future), airborne troops are modeled purely as ordnance (i.e. bombs), and can only be deployed as single-use weapons. They cannot take, hold or convert an enemy installation for friendly use. This is something, however, that's on the 'wish list'.
