The RAVAGE program allows you program fire
of a single ship onto an island. This is especially useful
because otherwise you'd have to use the CA[nnon]
command to fire on each land sector one at a time.
You're prompted for the Island to hit, who on the Island to hit,
whether to use the old hit map (you can make a ship follow the
path of the previous RAVAGE program), number
of rounds per sector, then which ship number to use. If you're
using a Battleship you're also prompted for minimum range (because
Battleships have a longer range of 7.)
You're shown a mini-display (similar to a radar display) of land
sectors shown by "E" (Enemy held areas?) and "X" (Areas within
range.) You then plot movement so you can close into the island
and fire. You move similarly to the SA[il]
command.
Once you are done plotting movement, you enter a -1 and your
fires are executed until every available shell is fired or
you've hit every possible sector.
