How to Play Battleship
Quick start
Choose Story and read the opening mission objective. Select a ship, inspect the movement and attack options and make a short, clear first order. Check what remains available before ending the turn. Once the basic sequence is familiar, try Skirmish for a self-contained battle.
Controls
Use the stylus to select ships and the displayed command options. Choose a permitted destination or attack target, review the order, then confirm it. Finish the remaining fleet actions before selecting the end-turn command. Movement and attack ranges on the tactical display guide which choices are available.
Battleship — About this game
The 2012 Nintendo DS adaptation of Battleship puts you in command of naval units in turn-based combat. Story and quick-battle Skirmish offer different ways to approach the campaign's fleet tactics, with maps, units and leaders to unlock. Cruisers, submarines and patrol boats give the fleet a mix of roles, while specialised commanders add another reason to think about your formation. Read the mission objective before choosing a target: keeping useful ships in position can matter as much as dealing damage on the current turn.
