About the game
The Advanced Mission takes the familiar Battleship game to a whole new level. Here is the list of the new weapons and tactics now at your disposal: 2 Exocet missiles fired from your aircraft carrier; 1 Tomahawk missile with a massive footprint fired from your battleship; 2 Apache missiles fired from your destroyer; 2 torpedoes fired from your sub; two recce airplanes for surveillance; and sonar imaging from your sub! While the older version of this game had some strategy, it was still a mostly guessing game, but with the Advanced Mission you really have to plan your attack and keep track of your available assets.
