Battle Ships

[DrSpike]

Odd that Rah didn't close this one along with the others.

I'd play (and if necessary GM or co-GM) FG: Battleship

Adagio, want to discuss how to do it and the rules?

BTW I mean as an actual forum game, not using the silly flash thing.

I don't think this one is going to fly as a forum game, don't ask why, just a hunch.

I don't have high hopes for it either, but it could be set up as a "free game" where people just "sign in" and the game starts if 2 people have "signed in"
Getting 8 or 16 players for a tournament will probably not be possible, but if people are interested I wouldn't mind gm'ing it (as mentioned earlier)

I almost closed this one too. But decided not to since Battleship is a mainstream classic game and not a see how far you can walk drunk type game.

I would review any attempt to make this a forum game, but if done right, I would probably go along with it.

But, I still maintain the right to change my mind based on how this tread pans out.

Considering the activity in this thread I believe you have no reason to worry about this starting as a forum game

Well, you need to start a FG: Battleships thread to see.

If you play with a slightly larger map and have 5 people on each team with each person controlling/representing one ship*, and each having one** salvo to fire each round, it can be more interesting. If nothing else the salvo co-ordination could be fun to watch.

* You can change the fleet size if that many people wanted to play.
** You can have larger ships fire more salvos in a turn if you want, else few would really want to be the aircraft carrier.

I guess you're right...



I'll create a thread to see if there's any interest in this game
If rah doesn't like that, feel free to close the thread
