One ship will be nominated your flagship. Each side will have a command rating of either poor, good or exceptional. A ship must remain within the command radius to be under control. A ship that is out of control will move half speed directly forward, unless the owner pays extra command points to move it as he wishes.

1. Initiative
Each player rolls 1d6, the higher roll is the first player.
2. Command
The first player does his command phase, then the second player does his.
First roll 2d6. This will be your command points (CPs) for this turn. CPs can be used to do a number of things, these are listed below.

|
1 |
Fire a torpedo |
All ships must move at least half their speed during your command phase.
All shooting attacks are paid for and declared during this phase, but are not worked out until the next phase (shooting).
3. Shooting
Now all shooting is worked out simultaneously. To work out Salvo shooting cross-reference your Salvos class with the targets armour class. Then throw 2d6. If you score the first number then minor damage is done, if you score the second number then major damage is done, roll 1d6 on the major damage table.
The number in brackets next to the gun class is the range.
Torpedoes move 8 every shooting phase, for 2 consecutive turns. If they hit they count as a C class gun.
