YOUR MISSION

To be the first naval commander to score 1,000 points by
locating enemy ships, then blasting them out of the water
with your torpedoes.

In this game, you must first locate an opponent’s ship by
finding all of its coordinates; then you must sink it by
firing torpedoes at it!

ON YOUR FIRST MISSION

1. Remove the game parts from their wrappings. Discard
all waste.

2. Apply the labels as shown in Figure 1, below.

PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Commanders sit opposite each other with the game on a table
between them.

1. The ocean grid: Take the ocean grid and the white plastic
base out of the box. Flip the base over and put it back in
so that the chute leads to the exit hole (see Figure 2).
Then flip the ocean grid over and drop it into the box the
right way up.

2. The torpedo tray: Slot the

torpedo tray into the position
shown in Figure 2, by fitting it
into the ocean grid holes. Then
slot the 4 peg trays into their
holes (two trays on each side of
the ocean grid).

3. The periscopes: Slide a periscope
onto each torpedo launcher (see
Figure 3).

4. The torpedo launchers: Slot a
torpedo launcher onto each end
of the grid by fitting it into
the ocean grid holes. Then clip
a visor onto the back of each
periscope. See Figure 4.

5. The torpedo marbles: Drop 3
torpedo marbles into each
launcher as shown in Figure 5.

6. The scoring markers: Set each
scoring marker on the ocean grid
to zero.

7. The pegs: Fill one of your peg
trays with red pegs and the
other with white pegs. Your
opponent does the same.

8. The ships: Divide the ships so
that each commander has the same
fleet of 10. See Figure 6, on
page 4.

STEP 1: DEPLOY YOUR FLEET

Secretly position your 5 small ships onto the bottom half
of your torpedo launcher. Your opponent does the same.
Ships must be positioned horizontally
or vertically, never diagonally. See
Figure 7 for an example.

Fig. 7

STEP 2: LOCATE TARGET!

On your turn:

1. Call out a letter/number co-ordinate:
for example, A3.

2. Your opponent looks at his/her own
fleet on the bottom half of his/her
torpedo launcher.

• If no ship is there, your opponent says, “OPEN WATER.”
You then place a white peg in that co-ordinate on the
top half of your torpedo launcher.

• If a ship is there, your opponent says, “TARGET
LOCATED.” Your opponent then places a red peg in that
co-ordinate on the bottom half of his/her torpedo
launcher. You place a red peg in that co-ordinate on the
top half of your torpedo launcher.

This ends your turn. Now your opponent takes a turn calling
out a co-ordinate.

4

Use the bottom half of your grid to mark which of your
ships have been located. Use only red pegs on this part
of your grid.

Use the top half of your grid to mark the co-ordinates
of your opponent’s ships, and to keep track of which co­ordinates you have called out. Use both red and white pegs
on this part of the grid.

When the last co-ordinate of any target has been called out,
the commander who owns it must call out “SHIP LOCATED.”

Figure 8 shows where you place your pegs in two
turn examples.

TURN EXAMPLES

YOUR TURN

• You call out H10.

• Your opponent checks the bottom half of his grid.
None of his fleet is located there.

• Your opponent calls back, “OPEN WATER!”

• You place a white peg at H10
on the top half of your grid.

Top half

YOUR OPPONENT’S TURN

• Your opponent calls out H7.

• You check the bottom half of
your grid and see that your
battleship is located there.

• You call back, “TARGET
LOCATED!”

• Your opponent places a red
peg at H7 on the top half

Firing Torpedoes

F 2

As soon as one commander has located all the co-ordinates of
a ship, that commander may fire on the ship!

Follow the steps below when firing on an opponent’s ship:

1. Set the ship on the ocean

Your opponent places a matching large ship on his side of the
ocean grid. Figure 6 on page 4 shows which large and small
ships match each other.

Fig. 9

Last

Note: There is one row
on the ocean grid for
every 2 rows on a
torpedo launcher.
Commanders, when
setting a ship on the
ocean, use the last
co-ordinate called
out to work out where
to place your ship!
See Figure 9.

Rod

co-ordinate

2. Ready, Aim, Fire!

Now you attack by doing the following:

• Look down into your periscope mirror as shown in Figure 10.

• Find the tip of the ship’s
rod hanging down below the
surface of the ocean grid.
You won’t see the ship
itself in the mirror. If
you can’t see the rod,
wiggle the ship as you look
in the mirror.

• Line up the arrow in the
middle of your mirror with
the tip of the ship’s rod.

• Now fire a torpedo by squeezing the red trigger
on your torpedo launcher.

A miss!

If you miss your opponent’s ship, take aim again and fire
another torpedo. If you miss with all 3 torpedoes, the ship
has escaped and cannot be attacked again. Remove it from the
ocean grid and give it back to your opponent. Drop your used
torpedoes back into your launcher. It is now your opponent’s
turn to call out a co-ordinate.

A hit!

If you hit your opponent’s ship, take it and place it next
to you. Move your scoring marker forward the correct number
of points. The scoring table on the left side of the ocean
grid shows you how many points you score. See Figure 11
for an example.

Fig. 11

Hit with torpedo 1 – score 200

Hit with torpedo 2 – score 150

Hit with torpedo 3 – score 100

WINNING THE GAME

The winner is the first to reach 1,000 points after both
commanders have taken the same number of turns. If no
one reaches 1,000 points, the commander with the higher
score wins.

Ties: In case of a tie, have a sudden death shoot-out!

STORAGE

Flip the ocean grid back over before storing your game in
the box. Remove the visors from the torpedo launchers and
put the pegs back in their bags.
