 ADVANCED GAME

INTRODUCTION
The Advanced Game expands the Basic Game rules, adding
new types of ships, new movement rules, more weapons and
defenses and more detailed damage and repair rules. All of
the rules from the Basic Game are used in the Advanced
Game, but Advanced Game players have more decisions to
make and more options to choose from.

SEQUENCE OF PLA Y
The turn sequence for the Advanced Game is outlined below.

Side A's Turn

1 . Movement Phase
