Currently with regular Battleboats plus, white has a good advantage (61% win), so it they were to start out with 10 shots, that would give the first player a VERY big advantage.
How about something like each player starts with 1 shot, but as you sink ships, you gain the power (1, 2, or 3 shots) as you sink ships?
