REWRITE THE PACIFIC WAR!
TAKE YOUR BATTLESTATION, HENRY WALKER!
Battlestations: Midway represents a radical advance in naval
war gaming. Now YOU can control and direct every aspect
of naval warfare, with genre-defining control systems
and strategic interactive maps.
From your early days captaining a wooden-hulled torpedo
boat, your challenge is to advance through the ranks
of the United States Navy to command the largest
battleships and aircraft carriers of World War II.
Ultimately, you will direct entire battle groups of
ships and subs, as well as squadrons of aircraft,
to strike against the jewels in the crown of the
Japanese Navy.
This may sound like a tall order, but with
training at the Naval Academy, you’ll grow
in skill and experience. With resolve, focus
and determination — plus a little bit of luck
— perhaps you can you triumph against
a deadly opponent, an enemy equipped
with weaponry and units that equal
those of the Allied forces.
The Pacific is at battlestations. Are you
equal to the challenge?
•Enter the Naval Academy and be schooled in the noble art
of seamanship.
•Grow in stature as a naval commander, and try your hand
at a range of Challenge missions.
•Throw yourself into the fray in Multiplayer mode, competing
with opponents locally via Local Area Network or remotely
over the Internet via the GameSpy Matchup service.
•Check out the comprehensive Battlestations: Midway website
at www.battlestations.net.

•The Naval Academy mission “Manning the Guns” guides you through
the use of all types of ship-borne weapons systems.
•“Aerial Ordnance” covers aircraft weapons systems.
• “Silent Hunting” details submarine weapons systems.
NOTE: For details of Aircraft Weapons Systems,
CROSSHAIRS
The crosshairs changes to show weapons system is currently
selected, and the status of those weapons. The image at the left
shows its neutral state.
AA Crosshairs
The crosshairs for Anti-Aircraft (AA) and AA flak cannons differs
from those of other ship-borne ordnance in one crucial way: it is
dynamic. This means the crosshairs’s appearance changes when
your shots are on target.
Target inactive = Your shots will not hit their target.
Lock-on target = Your shots will very likely hit their target.
Aiming at Fast Moving Targets
When you man the guns against airborne
targets, placing the crosshairs directly over
your intended target often does not change
the crosshairs’s state. This happens because
you must “lead” the target, i.e. aim the
weapon to fire where the target will be in
the future. Notice in the image at right that
the active crosshairs is a good distance
ahead of the aircraft.
NOTE: The Leading Target Indicator is
active in Rookie difficulty mode only.
see page 16.
Artillery Crosshairs
Artillery are large-caliber main guns, suitable for attacking
armored vessels, land-based fortifications and large cargo ships
— all surface targets. Artillery can only be aimed at a solid
surface, and not at airborne units.
Green = Weapon is ready to fire and in range of the target.
Red = Weapon is not ready to fire or is out of range of the target.
Flashing red = Weapon is reloading.
Yellow = Weapon is in range but turning and will be ready soon.
Purple = Weapon is out of ammunition.
Grey = Weapon damaged, but is repairable.
WEAPON STATUS INDICATOR LIGHTS
(See page 25.)
Torpedo Crosshairs
A bubbling torpedo wash is a sight that strikes fear into the
heart of every seaman. These propeller-powered underwater
missiles are guaranteed to blow holes in any ship they strike.
Ships with hull breaches are in imminent danger of sinking,
unless quickly repaired.
Torpedoes are difficult to aim at long distances and, once
launched, cannot be guided.
NOTE: Torpedoes are most effective when a group of them are
fired in an arc, known as a “spread.” This technique gives
the helmsman of the enemy ship less room to maneuver
and avoid all the torpedoes launched.
Depth Charge Crosshairs
The depth charge is the only weapon effective against
submerged submarines. Depth charges cannot be directly aimed
at a target, because they are dropped from the back of the ship.
Using them successfully requires skillful piloting maneuvers
and split-second timing.
•Press 4 to move to underwater view and drop depth charges. Continued key
presses release additional groups of charges.
•You can still control the ship’s movement with A/D/W/S.

WEAPONS ICONS
The machine gun is the default weapon on most aircraft.
Dive bombers and level bombers are equipped with a payload
of bombs, which are aimed using the bombing reticle.
You must drop torpedoes just above the water. Once launched,
they cannot be aimed, so make sure you line them up effectively.

SUBMARINES
For instruction on captaining a submarine, and avoiding detection,
play the Naval Academy mission “Silent Hunting.”
Movement
In addition to the helm controls on a ship, the submarine has
controls for diving and surfacing. It is also equipped with
a periscope for covert surveillance of surface targets
and an air supply indicator.
Submarine Controls
Move camera mouse
Binoculars on/off (when surfaced) middle mouse button
Periscope up/down middle mouse button

DEPTH LEVEL INDICATOR
Submarines in Battlestations: Midway move in two planes: vertical and
horizontal. The first set of movement controls (A/D/W/S) are the same
as for surface craft, and operate identically above and below the surface
of the water.
The submarine’s dive and surfacing capabilities are controlled with C/F.
Subs operate at four ocean levels, as described on the next page.
•LEVEL 1 (Surface) — Subs must surface intermittently to replenish their air
supply
(see below). On the surface, the sub is highly visible to other ships,
making it vulnerable to enemy ordnance, including torpedoes. However, you
can use the sub’s own torpedoes and any deck-mounted weaponry. While on
the surface, press Left Shift to cycle through your weapons systems
•LEVEL 2 (Periscope Depth) — At this depth, the sub is invisible to units without
sonar. Those equipped with sonar, i.e. destroyers, recon planes, etc., can still
locate you. The tell-tale sonar ping warns that you’ve been spotted by an
enemy unit’s sonar array. To avoid detection, press Ta b to open the map to
check on the enemy unit’s sonar range, denoted by a green circle. Use the
periscope to assist you in covertly aiming torpedoes at enemy targets. Subs
are also highly vulnerable to depth charges at this level. Note that a raised
periscope mast may be damaged if it contacts another unit. While this is not
recommended, the mast might be repaired in time.
•LEVEL 3 — This operating depth is ideal for skulking around and maneuvering
your sub into position. While you’re at this level, enemy units have more
difficulty targeting you with depth charges, but your boat is still vulnerable
to well-aimed charges.
•LEVEL 4 — Operating the sub at this depth for extended periods causes
the pressure hull to rupture, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
Conversely, your sub is invisible to sonar and invulnerable to depth charges.
Dive to this depth only in emergencies, and only for brief periods, in order
to evade expert sub killers.
AIR SUPPLY
Submarines possess a limited supply of fresh air, for use by their
engines and crew while submerged. When the gauge on the sub’s
helm controls enters the red “low air” sector, it’s time to surface to
take on another load of air. Use the map to choose your surfacing
location carefully.
•If you do not surface manually, the sub surfaces automatically to take on air.
WEAPONS
Submarines are equipped with torpedoes as standard weapons. You can launch
torpedoes at periscope depth or when surfaced. Aim torpedoes by steering the
submarine to point at your target.
Most subs are also equipped with deck-mounted AA guns; some larger subs may
even sport an artillery piece for use against armored targets. You can only use
deck-mounted weapons when the sub is surfaced.

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
As you advance in your naval career, the ability to fight bravely as an
individual should be overshadowed by the importance of successfully
commanding and directing all the units under your command.
To do this effectively, make the game’s management systems work for you.
There are three separate systems, with some overlap, enabling you to tailor
your Battlestations: Midway gameplay experience to your own tastes.
NOTE: As missions become more complex, begin balancing your time
between manually commanding a particular unit or squadron, and issuing
orders to other units or squadrons to carry out on your behalf.

in the formation will attack the same target.
•If you issue an attack order to a unit within a formation, that unit will
break from the formation to launch its attack.
•A yellow light indicates a target within range of your current unit’s
weapons; the number above is the target’s distance from the unit.
3. Once you issue an attack order, the unit attacks the target until either
the target or the attacking unit is destroyed.
ORDERING UNITS TO A WAYPOINT
Ordering units to a point on the map is a key part of reconnaissance
and protecting sea or airspace around a convoy, formation or battle group.
Both ships and planes can be useful in this role.
To set a waypoint:
1. Enter the Map screen (press Ta b), then select the unit you want to send
to the waypoint.
2. Move the cursor to the first waypoint and right-click. A blue line
appears, indicating the route that your unit will follow.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to add additional waypoints.
ORDERS
You can apply certain priorities, known as “standing orders,” to units, groups
and squadrons. Standing orders affect the way a force automatically reacts
in wartime situations, when you are not manually controlling it. Following is
a discussion of the standing orders available from the Command Menu,
and the units they relate to.
•Press A/D/W/S to toggle between orders.
•Press Enter to confirm and close the Command Menu.

•FREE MOVE — A ship can move where its captain decides is strategically
best to engage with enemy units. Default: On. If a unit is in a formation,
this defaults to Off.
•TORPEDO — If set to On, the torpedo-equipped ship will attempt to sink
enemy craft with torpedoes. Default: Off.
•TORPEDO AVOIDANCE - Lookouts and the ship’s pilot will attempt to avoid
any torpedo onslaught. Default: On.
Aircraft
•FREE FIRE — An aircraft can move to where its pilot decides is strategically
best, to engage with targets and initiate battle.
•CAP (Combat Air Patrol) — If set to On, the squadron guards the unit it is
assigned to. Highlight the unit you want to assign to a CAP and left-click.
The squadron will guard the unit until it is issued with other orders.

applied automatically.
Repairs
The Repair screen (see page 26) is available for all watercraft except the PT boat.
Play the Naval Academy mission: “Dealing with Emergencies Onboard” for
a walkthrough of the Repair screen. (Damaged aircraft should return to their
base to be repaired.)
•Press R to open the Repair screen.
•Use the mouse or press W/S to select various areas of Damage Control.
•Use the mouse or press W/S to allocate crew to the various sections
of damage control.
REPAIR SCREEN ICONS: DAMAGE MANAGEMENT
The Repair screen icons change color as a visual key to assist with allocation
of damage crew resources. Ignore this information at your peril.
Yellow = Mild damage
Red = Heavy damage
Flashing red = Malfunction has been identified
If a Fire icon lights up, it is wise to tackle this as a priority because
of the chance of a secondary explosion. Ignore Fire icons for too long,
and a magazine explosion may well destroy your ship.
If the Hull Breach icon is lit, a serious hull breach has occurred.
Man the pumps! A single arrow indicates a less serious breach.

Controlling Carriers
Carrier operations are likely to be the key to victory in the Pacific. A carrier’s
main weapon is a complement of specially designed aircraft, berthed in hangars
beneath the flight deck. The Naval Academy mission “Carrier Ops” details

•Control a carrier’s movement just like any other large ship.
