I dont know if it is really autopass but it is something similar to it. i am not sure what else to call it though. However you would have to submit your move after each shot like ending your turn to avoid cheating. The other battleboats games dont need it as this is something different. I mean imagine like in battleboats plus getting a hit and keeping your turn until you miss completely. A person could get a hit on the first turn and keep shooting until they sink them all. That would be 5 shots each go around. The other player would never get a turn to play. So my idea takes original battleboats and adds a twist. I call it Bonus Battleboats because the bonus is keeping your turn by getting a hit. You can play this version if you get one of those handheld battleship games by Milton Bradley. The handheld battery game has this version on it.
