At first, It is Combat Area taking most of screen left side, you
can see some units or Islands
in top-view.
Another area of right side upper is Information Area where you
can know condition of unit,
rest time and game speed.
Menu area is on national flag of your play-side, some of button
will appear here when you can
choose any command.
And, right side bottom is Reduced Map of theatre. Black box frame
tells you where is Combat Area
now. Red point on Reduced Map is Janpan Navy Unit Blue point is
U.S.Navy, or blinking one is

for direction mouse cursor is being. Or, when mouse cursor is on
Reduced Map, Left-Click makes
Combat Area move to there mouse cursor designate.
COMMANDING FOR UNITS
On Combat Area, all of your units or enemy units your unit is
watching will be displayed.
It is proper that unit you can command is only unit of your
play-side and should be moveable. And
its way to do so is, you do Left-Click over a your unit and it
makes the unit "active", then
you can decide some of moving point in Left-Click until
Right-Click. This way is possible to decide
moving point for both ships and air-planes.
FORMATION AND MOVING
You can control some of your units as one of formation as same as
real naval battle.
And remember that shape of formation you made will influence the
result of battle.
Making formation of ships, at first, you choose one ship which
will be leader ship, then
choose another led ships while leader ship is still
"active". And it will be accepted as a formation
when you choose moving point.
Leader ship will be marked by a flag mark on unit a little above.
When you choose a ship marked flag,
another led ship will be "semi-active" automatically.
If you order some moving point, then leader ship
will advance along monving points and its on line with leading
another led ships.
Led ship will keep direction and distance from leader ship on
even moving. Direction and Distance are
decided when you make formation.
There is thought of leader unit and led unit in air units, but
their formation is decided automatically.
Or, to choose led unit and make it "active" then give
it moving point, led unit will become a unit has no
leader unit.
ATTACK OF SHIP AND GROUND BASE

enemy unit you will make an attack against.
Those units whichi is in "active" or
"semi-active" will begin an attack in possible way they
have.

There are no defferent way of an attack between ships and
airplane.
@
SUBMARINE HUNTING BY DESTROYER
Submarine will run depth except when it got any serious damages
whitch never make it submerge. Then
you can not see enemy submarine in depth. The way of finding it
out is that your destroyer go round where
you guess that submarine may be hiding. Destory has a system to
hear sounds of submarine is running from
depth, So you may know about area of sequare submarine is hiding.
When destoryer is advancing in area of sequare submarine is
hiding in max speed, anti-submarine bomb will
be released to depth successively.
ABOUT TRANSPORT SHIP
Transpot ship can load ground army or another. When it is
"active", you can choose anywhere of land
but unloadabe you want to unload the transport ship when the ship
is near the land you chose.
ABOUT SUBMARINE
Using submarine is much same as another ship on surface ot sea,
but it has one of feature as submarine,
of course as you know it, it will submerge automatically when
enemy unit which may find the submarine
out. And only destroyer can find it out but about area not
correct while submarine is in depth.
Or, you have to make the submarine stop for reloading torpedo
before an attack of it.
At last, you remember that effective area of anti-submarine bomb
which was released by destroyer is
so large, so you need to take a much care for using submarine.
