Hi Lisa, Another strategy is an x pattern. That is go from upper left (a1) to lower right (i9) and then from upper right (a9) to lower left (i1) Then maybe straight down the center, and then straight across the center. Remember that the smallest ship is 2 spaces, so you don't need to cover

I personally tend to prefer to go in a diagonal search pattern myself at the beginning of the game, starting with b2, then c3, d4 etc, just so that I can more clearly gather which space I've covered in the grid, though as gabriel said once a ship is discovered, that does change. Beware the

Hi Jim. it's a while since I played your battleship game, and it's possible that was a previous version, but when i first played I do remember being stuck because the game didn't say which was easiest or hardest, it just said a difficulty 0 to 9, which was a little uncertain, particularly

I actually kept running into trouble since i was never sure whether zero was the hardest level or the easiest level :D. another thing for learning general stratogy might be to try BG battleship from spoonbill. it is not that this is intrinsically better or worse than Jim's game (Jim's

Hi Lisa, Well, I have beaten Jim Kichen's Battleship many times. The strategy is the same as any other Battleship game. You might want to aim for the center of the grid when starting out and then slowly expand your search in an expanding arc around the center looking for enemy ships. Cheers! On
