+.TH battleship 1
+.SH NAME
+bts, btsd \- multi-user on-line battleship (sink the fleet)
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I bts
+and
+.I btsd
+are the client and server for a multi-user, on-line version of
+.IR Battleship ,
+the strategy and guessing board game. It's based on Milton Bradley's
+1990 release, but without the player having to disclose the kind of
+ship the opponent hits.
+.PP
+The
+.I -d
+flag enables debugging for both programs. You can change the server's
+announce address with
+.IR -a ,
+which by default is tcp!*!3047.
+.SH PLAYING
+First each player lays their fleet on their
+.I local
+board.
+.PP
+Then the battle will begin, and each player has a turn to try and
+figure out their opponent's fleet layout, by taking a shot at any
+coordinate in the
+.I target
+board.
+.PP
+There's no timeout, so players can take as long as they want to fire a
+shot. Use this to deploy your PSYOP skills.
+.PP
+The first player to find and sink the enemy fleet wins. If you quit
+or disconnect, you lose.
