Battleships Armada Game Play Instructions

• Starting the Game
  • Click on the game mode you would like to play: easy, normal or hard.
    • The computer AI guessing where to shoot is more advanced on harder modes.
    • Place your pieces
      • Click on a ship to move it around the playing field.
      • Ships may be placed vertically or horizontally, though not diagonally. Click twice to rotate it if you want to rotate a ship.
      • Repeat the process for your remaining 4 ships.
      • When you are done placing all 5 ships click the green checkmark button near the top of the screen.
      • The game gives you up to a minute to place all of your ships. Beyond that the ships are placed automatically.
      • There is also an auto button in the upper right corner for having the computer randomly place your ships.
  • The welcome screen contains links for turning sound on or off and a link to the game’s help menu.
• Game Controls
  • Shooting
    • You have 30 seconds to shoot all 3 rockets on each turn.
    • If you take longer than 30 seconds then your remaining missiles are shot randomly into the grid.
      • If you miss 2 turns in a row the game is forfeit.
      • If you open a different tab in your web browser it pauses the game without forfeiting.
    • Squares you have already shot at will have a rounded blue circle in them, unless they hit a ship, in which case they will have a red X.
      • If a series of red Xs do not reveal a ship it means the ship is longer and still has more squares you have to hit in order to sink it.
  • Mouse
    • Click on the square you would like to shoot a rocket at.
    • Repeat the process for your remaining two rockets on each turn.
  • Touchscreen
    • Use your finger like a mouse & tap on the squares you want to shoot at.
• Battleship Board Game Strategy
  • Whoever sinks the competing player’s 5 ships first wins.
    • Once all of the grids for a particular ship have been shot, that ship is sunk.
    • The playing field is a 10 by 10 grid, yielding 100 total squares. You have 5 ships with a length of 5, 4, 3, 3, and 2 – so 15% of squares will have a ship on them, meaning about 1 in 6 randomly fired missiles would hit a ship.
    • Paradoxically the smallest ship is the most important because it is the hardest to find as there is only a 2% chance of random fire hitting it.
  • Shooting strategy
    • Shoot in a diverse pattern until you hit a ship rather than spending most of your shots in one small area of the board.
      • Most ships are at least 3 squares long, so you could go in diagonal patterns on the playing field down every third row.
    • When you hit a ship keep shooting at the nearby squares until the ship has been sunk.
      • Try not to place your ships directly next to each other as a player which uncovers one ship may then find the other by shooting a nearby square.
