BUILD YOUR OWN TELEGRAPH	MORSE AT NATIONAL HAMFEST

Navigate ever changing grid of letters and numbers using the lost language of Morse Code. Learn a handful of simple letters then master the telegraphy tree to fully scale the battlefield. 

German ships are shrouded by the cover of darkness, illuminate their positions using the flash of your artillery. Get a shot close enough and they'll be permanently revealed.

Rain down salvos of shells on the Kaiser's fleet, your stock of artillery refills slowly so strike the centre of ships for maximum damage and to save ammunition.

After successfully repelling each assault, pick between a pair of upgrades to bolster your arsenal. Unlock new deadly types of artillery shell, improve your mines or enhance your reconnaissance.

Deploy a blockade of sea mines to reveal and destroy any ships that slip past your artillery. Upgraded mines can withstand damage, have timed detonators and can relay warnings of German advancements. 

With each wave, a new isogram is chosen, the vertical row extends, the number of units increase and new powerful German vessels emerge from the dark waters. Survive until dawn.

Can you change the world with the push of a button?
