I know Fencer has a couple of battleboats variation on the to do list. However how about adding a 3rd variation to the list. I call it Battleboats Deluxe. The premise of this game is you get one shot per turn, but if you hit a ship with that one shot you get to shoot again until you miss. I play with a battery operated handheld battleship game while at break at work and this variation is on it. I think that would be neat variation and they do not have that IYT.
I have an electronic version that allows a special shot per ship that you still have, for instance the battleship hits 9 squares at once and the Sub shoots a torpedo along a row or column until it hits something. Some special shots can be used once per game as long as the ship is still alive, some can be used more than once. Also there are planes on the aircraft carrier that can be used for surveillance. I find it a much more interesting game than the standard one. :)
Why would we need a bigger grid? I like the idea of the game, Brian. I think the onej grenv suggested might be a bit too much for BK, but it does sound like loads of fun! :)
