Star Wars - Battleship Advanced Mission Be the first to eliminate all five of your opponent's starships. Differences from the regular electronic "Advanced Mission" Battleship: You don't have the two fighter jets that take off from your carrier (or five holed piece). Also, you can only do a nine-space search three times (with your two holed piece), whereas in the regular version you can do nine-space searches as many times as you want as long as your sub is still in play. This version has a special one-hit blows up the ENTIRE ship weapon. All these things in total end up making the two games play quite differently.
