Flotilla is arguably the rarest of the series to find complete. View a list of the complete series . Ships capture opponent's bases by landing on them.

Players are then free to move their ships away, an occupation flag serves as a reminder. The minimum points value for each base is 10 points.
Naval bases are marked with a circle and a points value. Higher points values tend to be given to bases which are more difficult and risky to reach. The winner is the first to capture bases worth 100 points. For a shorter game, reduce this total. The rules leaflet describes an advanced game offering greater scope for skill and manoeuvring. Defence must not be neglected though and strategy is required for manoeuvring to the best advantage. Differences in strength and speed of various units of the fleet and configuration of coasts marked on the charts ensure variety.
