Object of the Game
Be the first to sink all five of the ships in your opponent's fleet.
Game Overview
You and your opponent each have your own 10-square by 10-square ocean
grid. You each also have a fleet of five ships. The ships and their
sizes are as follows:
|
|
- 5 grid squares |
|
|
- 4 grid squares |
|
|
- 3 grid squares |
|
|
- 3 grid squares |
|
|
- 2 grid squares |
Secretly deploy your fleet of ships on your grid, while your opponent
does the same.
| Palm OS |
Pocket PC |
|
 |
|
To position ships, drag the outline of the ship to the desired location
and tap the Deploy button. Use the Rotate button to alternate between
positioning ships horizontally and vertically. After all ships are
deployed, you are ready for battle.
To play, you and your opponent will alternate turns firing missiles at
targets (grid squares). To fire a missile at a target, tap the screen
over the grid square. Each missile you fire will either hit or miss an
enemy ship.

A hit will be indicated by a red peg. A miss will be indicated by a
white peg. A ship is sunk when all of the grid squares occupied by the
ship have been hit. The first to sink the opponent's fleet of five ships
wins the game!

How to play salvo
The salvo variation of the game is recommended for more experienced
players who have become familiar with the basic game and enjoy a faster
pace.
Use the same rules as the basic game, but on you turn, each player takes
one shot for each ship that remains in his fleet. Whenever any one of
your ships is sunk, you lose one shot when you fire your next salvo. The
more ships sunk, the fewer shots you get!
