3. Fix the separator panels to the tower and the track. IMPORTANT: Orient the separator panels so that the color of their captain matches the color of the captain on the game board.

Preparation and Power-On

Once assembled and ready, your game should look like the illustration below. To begin, press the power button on the tower. Look at the tower controls below.

Parts labelled in the illustration: tower, panels, spy plane, cannons, ships, command tokens.

IMPORTANT: When you place your ships on the game board, make sure to face the tower and see the names of the ships in front of you.

Tower Controls

The Basics of the Game

Here is everything you need to know to communicate with the tower.

Giving an Order

Place your command token on the Fire, Move, Spy plane button, or on one of the special-power squares to give the corresponding order.

Confirming

Confirm an order by covering both Confirm buttons at the same time. Be sure to cover them completely, keeping your fingers closed.

Repeating

To have the tower repeat, each player must cover one Confirm button.

Sending the Spy Plane

Push the spy plane toward the other side of the game board so that it searches for enemy ships.

Important Tips About the Tower

• Assembling the game board: If the game indicates that something is wrong with the game board, re-read the assembly steps to make sure the tower, the track, the spy plane and the separator panels are correctly fixed to the game board.
• The reflective material: The tower's camera will work best if you do the following:
  • Avoid blocking the tower's field of view with the reflective materials of the pieces.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and strong light sources.
  • Make sure the protective layer of the pieces and of the game board buttons stays clean and free of scratches.
• The tower: Make sure the dark lenses of the tower stay clean and free of scratches.
• Game malfunction: If your game malfunctions for any other reason, press the reset button or install new batteries.
