Sea Battle Mode

Both players must guess where the vessels of their opponent are and destroy them. The first player to destroy the last vessel of his opponent's fleet wins. To fire, enter the target coordinates the same way as you did for your own vessels (see chapter 7).

Radar Commander Mode

This mode is similar to the Sea Battle. However, when a shot is fired and missed, the LCD screen will display a number that indicates the distance to the nearest target. In that way you can guess where an opponent's vessel is located, and if you place your shots clevery you can directly determine your next target.

Gunner Strike Mode

This mode is similar to the Sea Battle, but the selection of the coordinates of the target is different. First select the letter corresponding to the target followed by . Then the numbers 1 to 10 appear on the LCD screen. You must be fast and accurately press at the right time, and select the correct number of the coordinate where you want to fire. This game mode not only tests your strategic gameplay, but also your reaction time.

Red Alert Mode

This is a mix of the 3 previous modes. This game play is similar to the Sea Battle, but the selection of the coordinates is identical as in Gunner Strike Mode. Also, when the shots you fired miss the target, the LCD screen will indicate the distance to the nearest target (like in Radar Commander Mode).

9. GAME FLOW

1. After the ships have been positioned and their coordinates saved, the battle begins in a series of rounds. In each round, each player (or the computer in 1-player mode) has a turn.
2. Select the first target squares in the opponents' grid that you want to fire at. To fire, enter the coordinates as you did to save the position of your vessels (see chapter 7).
3. If your shot does not reach any target, use the white peg markers on the barrier to remember the shots already made. You will hear the sound of the shot falling into the water, and the screen will display the following animated
