-
-
- BATTLE FLEET is similar to the Milton Bradley Battleship(R) game. The
- differences are the board grid numbers and the ship names and values.
- (BATTLE FLEET's board grid numbers are 0 to 9 instead of 1 to 10.)
-
- BATTLE FLEET requires an EGA or VGA graphics card and can be played
- against your computer or over the telephone via Hayes or 100% Hayes
- compatible modem.
-
- At the DOS prompt type BATLSHIP.EXE and select PLAY COMPUTER.
-
- PLACING YOUR SHIPS
- ────────────────────
-
- The ships in your fleet have the following values...
-
- Carrier - 5 spaces
- Battleship - 4 spaces
- Submarine - 3 spaces
- Destroyer - 2 spaces
- PT-Boat - 1 space
-
- The ships are placed on the lower grid by specifying their starting
- points. The starting point is the intersecting point on the grid which
- corresponds to the letter/number or number/letter combination selected.
-
- If you were placing the carrier and selected the letter/number
- combination B4, then the carrier would be placed HORIZONTALLY across
- B4, B5, B6, B7 and B8.
-
- If you were placing the battleship and selected the number/letter
- combination 6C, then the battleship would be placed VERTICALLY across
- 6C, 6D, 6E and 6F.
-
- RETURNING ENEMY FIRE
- ──────────────────────
-
- After all 5 ships have been placed, the enemy then moves into position
- and takes the first shot. A peg is placed on the lower grid where the
- enemy called his shot. (White peg for a "miss", red peg for a "hit".)
-
- Using the upper grid to keep track of your shots, you respond with a
- letter/number combination such as F3. If you called a "miss", a white
- peg will be placed at F3 on the upper grid. If you called a "hit", a
- red peg will be placed at F3 on the upper grid and a red peg will also
- mark a ship on the left side of the screen, indicating which enemy ship
- was hit. The pegs on the left side of the screen indicate which ship
- was hit; they do not represent where the "hit" took place on the ship.

- OTHER OPTIONS
- ───────────────
-
- Skill Level...
-
- You may select a skill level from 0 to 9. Nine is the easiest level to
- beat the computer and zero is nearly impossible. Selection 4 is a good
- choice for a fairly even match.
-
- Sound...
-
- The sound default is on. On your turn, you may toggle the sound off or
- on by pressing "S".
-
- Quit...
-
- On your turn, you may end the game by pressing "Q". The enemy will
- then show you the location of his fleet on the upper grid.
-
- PLAYING ANOTHER OPPONENT BY MODEM
- ───────────────────────────────────
-
- Each player must have the following...
-
- 1. IBM or compatible computer with EGA/VGA graphics.
- 2. Hayes or 100% Hayes compatible modem.
- 3. A copy of the SAME VERSION OF BATTLE FLEET.
-
-
- The modem switches should be set for auto answer, send result codes
- and respond in English (verbose). The reason for this is that after
- the communication link is established, the program will sit in a loop
- until the response "CONNECT" is sent by the modem.
-
- At the DOS prompt type BATLSHIP.EXE and select PLAY BY MODEM.
-
- Determine beforehand who will be making the call. Tell the program
- which COM-PORT your modem is attached to and whether you will be
- receiving the call or making the call. If you will be making the call
- you will be prompted to type the telephone number. After you have
- typed the number, press enter.
-
- Once the communication link is established between the modems, the game
- will begin. Place your ships and try to destroy your opponents fleet.
-
- (Note that the caller always takes the first shot.)
-
- HAVE FUN!
