Abstract

See full text

At the beginning of a game, the re-sortie gauge 100 is displayed in the cost gauge 90 displayed on the display unit 8. This re-sortie gauge 100 is displayed in, for example, a horizontal blue bar, and indicates the reserve cost given to the player at the time with its overall length. This reserve cost is a predetermined numerical value, and is given equally to each player. Accordingly, the same reserve cost is automatically given irrespective of whether the player is experienced or a beginner. For example, if a versus game starts and the player's own unit is attacked by an opponent unit and destroyed, the display length is reduced by subtracting the cost value of the destroyed unit from the re-sortie gauge 100. While the remaining level of the re-sortie gauge 100 is being displayed, control is performed so as to cause the destroyed unit to sortie again.
