"...We have located the enemy fleet under
the command of Admiral Kompüter, but do not yet have visual
contact. We suggest the best course of action is to fire at
random into their vicinity and listen for the impact of the
shells...
...Our intelligence sources indicate the
composition of the enemy fleet is the same as our own, and has
likewise been forced to resort to the same tactics as ourselves.
In accordance with the rules of war, fire will be exchanged one
shell at a time and vessels lost will be announced
immediately...
...As per your orders you have been placed
directly in command of the fleet's guns. Select the target
location by clicking in the left-hand grid above. The right hand
grid shows the status of our own fleet. Information as to the
remaining strength of the enemy will be relayed directly to your
status bar...
...We believe this battle will not be over
until one or other fleet is sunk in it's entirety. Our gunners
await your commands. We're counting on you, Sir..." |
