Battleships Armada Game Play Instructions
How to Play
Place your ships on the playing board. Shoot and sink enemy ships before they shoot yours
- Starting the Game
- Click on the game mode you would like to play: easy, normal or hard.
- The computer AI guessing where to shoot is more advanced on harder modes.
- Place your pieces
- Click on a ship to move it around the playing field.
- Ships may be placed vertically or horizontally, though not diagonally. Click twice to rotate it if you want to rotate a ship.
- Repeat the process for your remaining 4 ships.
- When you are done placing all 5 ships click the green checkmark button near the top of the screen.
- The game gives you up to a minute to place all of your ships. Beyond that the ships are placed automatically.
- There is also an auto button in the upper right corner for having the computer randomly place your ships.
- The welcome screen contains links for turning sound on or off and a link to the game’s help menu.
- Click on the game mode you would like to play: easy, normal or hard.
- Game Controls
- Shooting
- You have 30 seconds to shoot all 3 rockets on each turn.
- If you take longer than 30 seconds then your remaining missiles are shot randomly into the grid.
- If you miss 2 turns in a row the game is forfeit.
- If you open a different tab in your web browser it pauses the game without forfeiting.
- Squares you have already shot at will have a rounded blue circle in them, unless they hit a ship, in which case they will have a red X.
- If a series of red Xs do not reveal a ship it means the ship is longer and still has more squares you have to hit in order to sink it.
- Mouse
- Click on the square you would like to shoot a rocket at.
- Repeat the process for your remaining two rockets on each turn.
- Touchscreen
- Use your finger like a mouse & tap on the squares you want to shoot at.
- Shooting
- Battleship Board Game Strategy
- Whoever sinks the competing player’s 5 ships first wins.
- Once all of the grids for a particular ship have been shot, that ship is sunk.
- The playing field is a 10 by 10 grid, yielding 100 total squares. You have 5 ships with a length of 5, 4, 3, 3, and 2 – so 15% of squares will have a ship on them, meaning about 1 in 6 randomly fired missiles would hit a ship.
- Paradoxically the smallest ship is the most important because it is the hardest to find as there is only a 2% chance of random fire hitting it.
- Shooting strategy
- Shoot in a diverse pattern until you hit a ship rather than spending most of your shots in one small area of the board.
- Most ships are at least 3 squares long, so you could go in diagonal patterns on the playing field down every third row.
- When you hit a ship keep shooting at the nearby squares until the ship has been sunk.
- Try not to place your ships directly next to each other as a player which uncovers one ship may then find the other by shooting a nearby square.
- Shoot in a diverse pattern until you hit a ship rather than spending most of your shots in one small area of the board.
- Whoever sinks the competing player’s 5 ships first wins.

Prepare to face your foe in a battle of wits and chance. The game plays much like Battleship does, and is just as riveting. You can only play against a computer opponent. The game, though, gives you three levels of difficulty.
Each round is thirty seconds long. You have three missiles to fire at the sea. If you hit part of a ship, the board displays an x. If it doesn’t, it reveals a blue circle. Spend your opening shots firing at random. Sooner or later, you’ll stumble on your first ship. Toward the late game, probability gives way to deduction.
You can also use the opening to your advantage. Situate your fleet far from one another to reduce their chances of getting hit. Put your smallest ship in the most unlikely corner you can conceive. Often, this smaller ship will be your only ticket to victory.
