Then wait for another player to show up (admire the velero).  When
they do, you'll have to place your ships in the lower (local) board by
clicking LMB when the ship is at the right location; you can also
change the orientation of the ship by pressing MMB and selecting
“rotate ship”.  If you are not happy with the current layout, press
RMB and select “place ships” to start all over again (tip: if you
don't want to move a ship, click LMB without moving the mouse.) Once
you are done—a banner at the bottom will inform you—, press RMB and
choose “done”.

At this moment the battle will begin.  Each of you has a turn (read
[battleship.pdf](battleship.pdf)), and if you are the one shooting you
have to aim at a tile at the upper (target) board—which will show a
reticle—and press LMB to fire a shot.  If you hit an enemy ship, the
tile will show an X, otherwise a O. If you are the one waiting, well,
just do that.

There's no turn timeout so the battles can get as long as any of the
players's will.  If you quit or your connection is lost, your opponent
wins.
