Description

The game consists of a battle between two equal fleets, played on a board comprised of 35 Dark Blue (sea) squares, and 28 Light Blue (sky) squares, two of which show Red-triangles representing area above AIRBASES. Each side uses 6 Battleships, 5 Destroyers, 2 Submarines, and 5 Airplanes. One fleet is on ivory discs, the other on black. Two or four can play the game. If two play, each uses the entire fleet on their side. If four play, one player on each side commands and moves the airforce; the other player, the surface-ships. The ultimate objective is the same as a naval battle, to destroy the opponent's fleet. Intermediate objectives are to 1) raid opponent's airbase; 2) destroy opponent's airbase; 3) "Cross-The-T" of opponent's battle line. These maneuvers are rewarded with extra moves or other advantages.
