Instead of moving just one Ship in any direction, you have the 
option of moving one or more Ships forward the indicated number of 
spaces using a single move card.

FIRE PHASE

The attack card has a number. 
This is the range of the attack.
Attacks can be diagonal or orthogonal. 
“Knight” type attack cards produce an attack with a range like a knight in chess.
You cannot attack through other ships.
Every attack does 1 point of damage.
