Nirvana: That game does sound fun - goal to make a line 4 - but can not make a line of 3.

I know the hex board would be more work for Fencer to make - I wonder if the same rules can be played on a normal Five-in-line board? (which would be an easier game to make since Fencer would not have to make a new board)

.... and if Fencer does make a Hex type board - hopefully he will think of the idea of Hex Battleboats Plus.
