  Subsequently, the main control unit 14 transmits the flag data of the team to which the received player ID belongs and the sticker data of a plurality of players displayed in the member area of the flag to the terminal devices 16a to 16h (step C03).

  Next, the terminal devices 16a to 16h receive the flag data and sticker data transmitted from the main control unit 14 (step B03). Subsequently, the terminal devices 16a to 16h generate flag image data based on the received flag data and sticker data (step B04).

  Next, the main control unit 14 performs a matching process for matching players who operate the terminal devices 16a to 16h (step C04).

  When two players are matched as opponents by the matching process, the main control unit 14 transmits a matching signal indicating that the matching is performed to the matched terminal devices 16a to 16h, and the terminal devices 16a to 16h are the main control unit. The matching signal from 14 will be received and two players will fight.

  Next, the main control unit 14 executes a battle game that is a main game (step C05). The battle game is executed based on the game operation (step A02) by the player (step C05), and the battle screen is displayed on the monitors 24 of the terminal devices 16a to 16h (step B05). On this battle game battle screen, a flag 110 is displayed as a common symbol of the team to which the player belongs. Details of the battle screen will be described later.

  Next, when the battle game ends, the main control unit 14 performs a process of ending the battle (step C06), and a battle end screen is displayed on the monitors 24 of the terminal devices 16a to 16h (step B06).
