Huge, glistening, dark and
ominous, the alien ships rose from
the depths of the ocean, directly in the
path of our Navy eet. They had come
with no warning, had oered no greeting.
Their menacing presence made only one
thing clear: whoever these beings were,
they had not come to befriend us.
A single shot pierced the deadly silence.
And so the battle for Earth began…

CUSTOM FLEET DEPLOYMENT
If you selected Custom Fleet
Deployment, the game will say
<Player 1, deploy your eet. When
the ship reports, input the rst and
last coordinates of its location.
Aircraft Carrier reporting!> If you’re
Player 1, place your ships on your
ocean grid, starting with your
Aircraft Carrier. Here’s how:
• Place the ship by tting its pegs
into the holes. You can place
ships vertically or horizontally, but
never diagonally.
• Ships may overhang the edge of
the grid or overlap other ships,
but make sure that each target
hole in your ships has its own
coordinate.
• Now input only the rst and
last coordinates of the ship so
the game will know where it is.
For example, if you place your
Aircraft Carrier where shown in
Figure 7, the coordinates are B5,
B6, B7, B8 and B9. To enter
them, just press B5 and B9. The
game will automatically know the
coordinates in between. Then
press ENTER to conrm.

pressed a wrong coordinate,
the game will say, <Incorrect.>
In this case, just enter the
correct coordinate.
• After conrming the coordinates
of your Aircraft Carrier, you’ll
hear <Aircraft Carrier on station!
Battleship reporting!> Place
your Battleship and enter its
coordinates the same way. Then
do the same with your Red and
Blue Destroyers and your RHIB.
Aircraft Placement: If you’ve chosen
to use Advanced Weapons, you’ll
now be prompted to place your
aircraft. See Placing Your Aircraft on
page 12.

FLEET DEPLOYMENT
PREDETERMINED FLEET
DEPLOYMENT
If you’ve chosen this option, take
a look at the 100 preset eet
formations on pages 18 - 27.
Choose the formation you want,
then place your ships on your
ocean grid in the positions shown.
When prompted by the game,
enter the letter and number of
the formation you want, then
press ENTER to conrm.
The ships shown in these
formations are shaped generically,
so that they can be used for
either the Navy Fleet or the Alien
Fleet. You may need to rely on
the color of your ships and the
number of holes in them as you
place your ships on your grid.
These formations also show two
aircraft aboard the 5-hole ships.
This tells you where to place your
aircraft in an Advanced Weapons
game. If you’re playing with Basic
Weapons, just ignore the aircraft.
