Board Games at the Lakes 4: Battleships
Battleship is a guessing game for two players. It is played on ruled grids on which each players fleet of ships are marked. The locations of the fleets are concealed from the other player. Players alternate turns calling "shots" at the other player's ships, and the objective of the game is to destroy the opposing player's fleet.
Battleship is known worldwide as a pencil and paper game which dates from World War I. It was published by various companies as a pad-and-pencil game in the 1930s, and was released as a plastic board game by Milton Bradley in 1967. The game has spawned electronic versions, video games, smart device apps and a film.
It was one of the earliest games to be produced as a computer game, with a version being released for the Z80 Compucolor in 1979 any computer editions of the game have been produced since. In Clubhouse Games for the Nintendo DS, Battleship is known as Grid Attack. It is played on an 8×8 grid, and includes slight variations, such as 4-player gameplay, and various ship sizes and shapes. Iterations of Battleship appear as applications on numerous social networking services 
About the series:
A series placed to celebrate that cause of fun, but also many family disputes, boardgames! Love them or hate them there’s no escaping them, especially around the festive period (hence the time of placement).
The loop starts at the Malthouse Lane Car Park and follows the trails around Engine House Pool and Windmill Pool, it is around 3 miles long although it can be easily made longer or shorter. The lakes have amazing scenery and wildlife so don’t forget to bring your camera and binoculars. Be aware that the car park is closed at night so please check closing times on the board when you enter the car park as this varies. It is very easy to park on the road at Malthouse lane or at an alternative carpark marked on number 1.
There are 9 caches on the series which can be combined with some existing caches. The puzzles published in conjunction with the series are designed that they can be easily done whilst completing the loop, if anyone is struggling with these who wants to complete all the caches around the lakes please feel free to message me for a hint.
There are also three FYI caches nearby which can be found while doing the series.
For the more extreme of you, the nearby existing caches ‘SOMEWHERE OVER THE ?????’ (GC13EET) and ‘Special-Ops - Bravo’ (GC2QCM7) are recommended.
The existing EL series by MillionsOfPeaches that is just under 2.5 miles can also be combined with this walk.
