Synopsis

An international fleet of naval warships encounters an alien armada. An intense battle

is fought on sea, land and air. If they lose, the world could face a major extinction event and an alien invasion. 

The problem is that the enemy is hard to detect, and a grid-based attack system as in the classic game is implemented to coordinate attacks; moreover, a decommissioned WWII battleship and a gang of veterans are brought in when options are running out. 

Will humans win this alien war? What are the aliens doing here? And what do they want?
