ColonelCrockett: Well I haven't played dark battle boats. Just new the answer to your question. I guess it was a rehitorical question.

ColonelCrockett: Because you are the secound highest rated player and people like to play the top 10

ColonelCrockett: White has a better chance because they get an exter turn since black is not allowed to shoot once all are gone. If you wanted to equal it out completely farely make it so that the number of shots each player has does not change until the round is up. So for example if I am white and I shoot down your last 2 ships you still get 2 shots. You would get a lot more ties with this way. A good way to make fare without changing the rules is to always play 2 game matches.

Do you love chocolate? If you do you should join us in Chocolate Lovers United all you have to do is send me a request to join. All chocolate lovers accepted and there's a battlboat tournament where you can win a box of tootsie rolls.

ColonelCrockett: Depends on boat type

ColonelCrockett: That could work. Or if the back most piece was hit(were the engines are)

ColonelCrockett: No hit ships can't move. The reasoning is that there engines are broken.

Or how about the age old child cheat trick. You are allowed to move all your boats at the begining of your turn to any space that has not been shot. Would force people to keep there serch patern looking random

BIG BAD WOLF: How is this for unique? Battle Boats Plus with a few new rules. Each boat can move forward or backwards 1 space on each turn or they can shoot. Once a boat had been hit it is no longer allowed to move as it has been damaged. 3 Only the 2 long boat is allowed to turn. When it does its back end stays in place and the front end moves to another square.

Your aponent of course would know that you moved a ship as though you could have shot say 5 shots you only shot 4.

BIG BAD WOLF: Only problem with this is half the skill of Battleboats is the placement of the parts. Would probably be best if each player had there own board and you got to shoot one shot per board. The other players can see if it is a hit or a miss and shoot acordingly.
