Mission Briefing
Rules of Engagement explains how HiddenFleet works, from fleet placement and battle preparation to turn flow and victory conditions. This page is designed to help both new and returning players understand the core structure of the game before entering combat.
Every HiddenFleet battle begins with fleet placement. Players position their ships on the battlefield and prepare for combat before the first shot is fired. Smart setup decisions are a major part of strategy, because the arrangement of your fleet affects how difficult it is for an opponent to locate and destroy your ships.
Once the match begins, players take turns attacking enemy coordinates on the grid. Each shot produces a result such as a miss, a hit, or a destroyed ship. Understanding how turn flow works is essential for reading the battlefield, maintaining pressure, and adapting to new information as the match develops.
The goal of HiddenFleet is to sink the entire opposing fleet before your own ships are eliminated. Success depends on a balance of careful positioning, accurate targeting, and efficient tracking of previous shots. Learning the full rules of engagement gives players a stronger foundation for both casual play and competitive matches.
