Tap START TRAINING on the home screen (or TRAINING at the bottom). It walks you through fly, find, attack and defend in one short duel. New pilots also start on Easy until their first win.

That's the game. The enemy is hidden until your radar sweep covers their cell. Use SCAN (1 AP) toward the bearing shown, and watch the red shading: it marks where the enemy may be, based only on what your own radar has seen.

Unavailable actions explain themselves in the message line under the board — for example "Choose a route first" or "Too far". Most attacks need a fresh radar contact and a chosen route.

When a missile is inbound, cells with a ✓ turn away from it. Pick one of those, or arm a FLARE (1 AP) when the missile is close. A direct missile hit takes both hearts at once.

Everyone gets the same duel each day. Your first finished attempt is your official grade and counts toward your streak; you can replay it as practice as often as you like.
