this free print-and-play variant takes the classical game Battleship to a new explosive level!

The classic game Battleship can be fun, but it is really not that engaging. What is boring? To us, missing your shot is boring and the fact that the game can drag out. In this version, you get a Maneuver Point (MP) every time you miss. This makes it a bit more fun to miss, since the MP can be used to trigger powerful actions such as releasing depth charges (efficient to find those elusive submarines), activate radar systems or firing of a cruise missile that travels over a full column or row until it hits a ship (unless you are unlucky and the opponent did not have any ships in that column/row, but then at least you can cross off all those squares).
