In case you're not aware already -- there are new teams. Go read the 'dice' thread to see them.
This week you'll be playing battleship.
Rules of Engagement:
- Grid size is A-O across, 1-15 down
- You may not place boats diagonally, overlapping, or off grid
- You take turns guessing.
- If you get a hit, you get TWO guesses your next turn. However, you get no more than two guesses per turn. That is, if you get hits with both guesses, you don't get four guesses next time, but two once again. If you hit one and miss one.. that's still a hit so you get two next time.
- First team to sink the other team's ENTIRE FLEET wins.
- Each team has one nuclear missle. It has a blast radius of 4 squares vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Any boat hit within the radius is considered sunk.
- When a boat is sunk, the team must declare it has been sunk so both teams can keep track of things.
- I can answer for a team, but that doesn't mean you can pester me to answer.
Boats:
- Aircraft Carrier (6 x 1 squares)
- Submarine (3 x 1 squares)
- Frigit (2 x 1 squares)
- Battleship (5 x 1 squares)
- Hovercraft (2 x 2 squares)
- Destroyer (4 x 1 squares)
- PT Boat (1 x 1 squares)
Teams have until 10:30 PM Eastern tonight to submit a diagram of their fleet to me. Simply make a 15x15 table in Word or OpenOffice.org and show boats but putting the first letter of their name in all squares they occupy.
Good luck and happy hunting.
Team whatever I'm on - I'll be back at 11pm central tonight to play. Just pm or email me the scorecard we choose.
PS - Let's make our ship formation a giant pen15.
Ours is ready...check you AIM...

I have received both maps..... Team Roy has won the coin toss, and may ask first.
Anybody from Team Roy here?
PM me...

Nuke @ F-6

4 are sunk...sending details in a moment...
5 ships destroyed...
Aircraft Carrier (6 x 1 squares)
Submarine (3 x 1 squares)
Frigit (2 x 1 squares)
Destroyer (4 x 1 squares)
PT Boat (1 x 1 squares)
Also mark off D2...part of a ship
Can I know what squares all of the destroyed ships took or is that against the rules?

so whatever is at D2 is sunk
Quick Question GTS, the Nuke, which is a radius of 4 each way, does that mean the square is 9x9? 4 on each side of the center point + the center point?

I have the same question... I'll seek a reply later today, in about 6 hours.

From ground zero....
- 4 up/down
- 4 left/right
- 4 diagonal
- make a square from that
.. and you have your blast radius

WTF? That's like half the board.
So does your original statement of 5 destroyed ships still stand?
If one your your ships got hit @D-2, it is sunk. Does that mean we have sunk 6 of your ships?

The original statement of 5 ships still stands...D2 was only a piece of a ship outside the blast radius...
Ok...

I'm confused on one point... all you have left is the Hovercraft and Battleship? And part of one of them was hit at D-2? I don't see how...

Anything even PARTIALLY hit by a nuke is sunk. You hit a boat with the nuke that was partially out -- it was sitting in D-2 as well. You sunk the boat, and thus eliminated square D-2 as well.

But D-2 is in the blast radius, isn't it? If they hit at F-6, isn't everything from B-2 to J-10 inside the blast radius?
Or are you saying it is from C-3 to I-9?

No, B4L was saying that part of that ship was outside the blast radius (D-2), but because if you hit any part of a boat the whole boat is sunk, it was sunk.
SouthGAEagle Wrote:N-13

We will take B-2
Before we go any further, I want clarification...
A nuke at F-6 hits from where to where?
A nuke at K-11 hits from where to where?
I was operating under the assumption it makes a 9 x 9 blast? Is it only 7x7?

Should be from B-2 through J-10 , which would include D-2. Looking back, I don't know why B4L, said D-2 was outside blast. Doesn't matter though, as nothing changed.

OK. Just making sure for our side...
B-2 = Hit
We're firing at E-1.

Forgot a rule:
"You Sank My Battleship" must be uttered when you lose!!!
Unless you are Death, then its "..C'mon 3 outa 5?"
