GAME PLAY
---------
Game Play is fairly straight forward. Try to sink the other player without
getting sunk. You can do this by either ramming or firing cannons. To
fire cannons hold down the fire button until your range bar gets to the
desired range, then release. You may also raise or lower sails to control
your speed. Remember, wind will also affect how fast you will go in
a given direction. You may also turn right or left as long as your rudder
stays intact. In other words, don't get hit from behind. Controls are
changed in the controls menu and ships status can be changed in the game
options menu. Your score is based on relative strengths of ships plus points
scored for cannon hits.
