Before battle commences, the positions of these units must be recorded in the computer. The aim of the game is to identify the positions of the enemy's ships in order to destroy the whole fleet. This is achieved by taking turns to select coordinates and firing weapons to try to hit your opponents vessels or crafts. [. . . ] If you play in 2 player mode now the LED start lighting on player 2 side and he needs to select the game mode in the same way as player 1. Player 2 needs to use the same battle ground than player 1, but he can rotate the cardboard as he wishes. If player 2 chooses a coordinate that is not valid (does not belong to the game mode player 1 has selected) a error sound effect will be heard. HOW TO SET UP THE UNITS Now set up the units on your game grid and enter their positions into the computer. Generally start with the smallest units, in the mixed battles first set up the ground units and in TREASURE HUNT begin with the island and the treasure box. Follow the order given below otherwise the computer might generate errors. To input the positions of your unit select the coordinates of one end of the unit, confirm with ENTER/FIRE, then select the coordinates of the opposite end and again confirm with ENTER/FIRE. You will hear a special sound effect to tell you that the computer registered this unit. In case you enter incorrect coordinates the error sound effect will inform you to repeat your last entry with valid coordinates. If you don't like the position of your last unit you can cancel this unit by pressing the ENTER/FIRE button fast twice. Another sound effect confirms the cancelling. You can repeat this procedure to cancel more than 1 unit.
